Toa Velox

Ah, a chapel, well that explains it. For some reason I thought you had said Cathedral, lol. Ignore that, then. Since it's a chapel the size is fine. But if yo make a cathedral I expect something like this. =P

Geez, Aaron, not only do you make an awesome MOC, but you get me to come back on EuroBricks after months of not having done so. Because even though I've already seen this I couldn't pass up posting here so everyone else knows my feelings, too. =P So yes, it's awesome. The stain glass is especially awesome. But that's already been said about a hundred times [and rightfully so] by others. I really only have one thing I don't like about this, which has been said before: It's small. Not only in actually being small, but also in terms of thickness -- it seems a little "thin" you could say. I also think that the bell tower could have been changed [if that's even a bell tower?] because right now it almost looks non-cathedral-ish, but rather just a really fancy [and freakin tall] house with those pillar-things on the sides. But this is a lot better than I could do, that's for sure. Great job again, buddy. I better see more from you, okay?

Title says all. Mine is probably Takanuva, because I love his character [the way he acts, his role, etc.]. Helryx, TSO, and others are up on that list as well. ...Because we really need more discussion in the BIONICLE forum. -Velox

Eh... It's just that BIONICLE still has it's storyline, and there's still stuff to be discussed. But, I suppose it all depends on activity. If this forum remains active, then I say leave it as it is. If not, then I'd say to merge it with the new line. It also depends on what the new line looks like. -Velox

Boulevard of Broken Dreams -- Greenday

Welcome to EB!

Holiday; by Greenday.

Not a bad review – it’s good to see more pictures of the set, as I’m thinking about getting it [i’ll probably end up getting all the Stars, if only because they’re the last BIONICLE sets].

Yeah, but something that size would fit the Stars. =P Also, I support this topic.

I use my iPod, the radio, and good 'ol CDs. -Velox

Last night I bought BIONICLE Sets Ackar, STARS Tahu, and STARS Takanuva [my thoughts can be seen here, if you’re interested]. -Velox

Oh look it's Erebus.

-Author's Note- This was inspired by Brave Dragon's Caught in a Dream painting, located in this topic. Looking at that picture before reading this really helps with the mood. I wrote this for BZPower a while ago -- thought I might as well post it here, too [everything is just copied and pasted from the BZP topic]. .....The sky flashed bright white, revealing a scarlet-clad Toa. He crouched atop the wall of a crudely-built stone fortress, looking out onto the valley below. The rain poured down upon his body, feeling as if it was burning right through his armor. The hero looked up toward the sky, ignoring the rain drops falling into his eyes, piercing them like poison. It stung, but he endured, and watched the dark clouds moving gracefully across the sky, occasionally glimpsing the white-hued moon, trying to shine its way through the blockade of darkness. .....The Toa cursed under his breath, wishing to be able to use his element of fire to keep the water off him. But he knew he couldn't. He had to endure. He must not show away his position. And so he looked longingly up at the moon, hoping the rain would stop. But he knew it wouldn't. It never did. Instead, even more globules of water effused from the charcoal ceiling. He finally looked down from the sky, and, closing his eyes, psychologically prepared himself for the battle to come. .....He sighed, opening his eyes to see nothing but darkness upon the valley below. The rain poured down even harder than before. As it beat against his scarlet-colored armor, it felt as if the small driblets of water were ripping through his armor. He wanted to shout in anger. He wanted to do anything to make the water go away, but knew he couldn't. He knew that even if he tried to slightly warm his body in hope of evaporating the stinging water, he wouldn't be able to control it, and would try to extinguish all moisture around him. So he had to stand there, silently watching and waiting for the enemy. .....He kept looking out upon the valley, trying to ignore the wet drizzle of water pounding against his armor. The look on his face would make even the most evil of beings look at him with pity. It was pitiful to see a being of fire so unable to do anything against his worst enemy. It was as if a Makuta was put into a room of light, not able to close its eyes, and not able to escape. .....And yet, there was a look of determination in his pink-tinted eyes. A look of courage. A look of a hero. For that is what he was, and that is what he would be to his friends now. He would not betray them by giving away their position, so he would ignore the searing pain. He would do all that was necessary. .....Another flash of lightning came, revealing the valley below him full of Dark Hunters slowly advancing toward the insignificant fortress that had been set up. The Matoran had been hidden underground, and the Toa then built a fortress over the Matoran's shelter in hope of defending them. But they knew what little chance they had. Even with a seventh Toa

I assume one can drop out at any time if needed, right? And this can be for reviewing any theme of LEGO, correct? [As in, the three sets don't have to be a certain theme] If so, then I'll join. Not sure if I can have "sufficient time" once school starts again, but I'll try.

Yes, that would be nice. On the subject of the MOC, it's not bad. It's definitely a lot better than the set. The gold Ignika is fail, though. Personally I'd like all the yellow to be gold, but . . .

What? Lol.

@ Emzee ~ I won't leave this site, though I probably won't be as active. It's harder to navigate here [like if I want to find writing, I have to search through the whole BIONICLE forum]. But I will still be active. @ 3D Brickthing ~ Who are you on BZP? Anyway, I'm not too sure about that. I have so many things planned already: 3 short stories, 3 epics [one of which is currently being written -- the other two are just thoughts], a couple of poems, and two off-topic short stories as well. So, for now, I'm good. I'll read through that topic, and if I find something I want to add, I'll do it, though don't expect too much activity from me there. @ Nuju Metru ~ Me too. ^^

When the hackers attacked? They've attacked for years... If you mean at the beginning of the summer, well there hasn't been much to see except the front page news. :P And, yeah, I saw Black Six. Though, he's only made three posts. :P

That would be... interesting, to say the least. At first it suggests that we're back on the MU, but with Gresh and a Skrall... And, I doubt Greg has said anything concerning the future storyline, even if it's just where it will take place. And, either way, this is almost impossible, whether in the MU or BM. However, it is possible that Mata Nui gets help, and somehow him, Gresh, and a Skrall get back to the MU. It's interesting, though I kind of doubt it. It'd be nice to see the Piraka, Rahkshi, and Takanuva again.

Yeah, I think I know you. =P And, lol, seriously. I don't mind that much. Sure, I miss BZP, but it's fun hanging around a lot of other smaller forums which are now more active.

The blue part is also bendy, as were the Hordika weapons. ;]

Well, I haven't been here much, but as of now I like BZP much better [no offense to EB, of course]. Not only is it one awesomely big forum for my favorite LEGO Theme, but I just like the layout better. I'm not a fan of how everything BIONICLE [and the same goes for other Themes] related is in one forum, instead of having sub-forums such as a Library, BBC [bIONICLE-Based Creations], et cetera. Still, this seems like a nice community.

Alright, before I join, I have a couple questions: First, how much time is needed for this? You say "enough time" but how much time is that? Can one join just to see what it's like, and if finds out he doesn't have enough time/doesn't want to continue, can he quit? Secondly, is this just for review sets, or review MOCs, stories, etc., as well? Reviewing is one of my favorite things [especially review stories or MOCs, which I try to do quite often on BZP], and so this sounds interesting.

Watch me. :P j/k Good to see you here, Meso. The more I browse the forum, the more I find more BZP members. You, Bunda, Bfahome, Jinzo, Omi, Emzee, Avohkah's Sparks, The Alchemist, etc., etc.

Well, Darnzerf on BZP is quite good at making names. So about a year and a half ago we started talking and I mentioned I needed a name for myself. That's when he suggested "Velox" and I had kept it ever since. Though, I now realize that "Velox" actually means "swift" in Latin. Whether that was intentional or not, I find that awesome, as I take Latin and find it most interesting.
