Partario

Where is the stinger fail tail. Anywho I have to agree with the others, this is a truly outstanding MOC. Good job!

Sorry I've haven't posted here in ages but don't worry I've still been keeping up with our beloved F1. Congrats to Button and Webber, fantastic race in Brazil, as always. Shame about Alonso and great job by Kamui Kobayashi, what a first race. Oh and Trulli, Heikki and McLaren have all been given penalties. Here is the article on f1.com

Nice review. After reading that I think I'm gonna use your style of reveiwing if thats alright. BTW after seeing TLR I think Tarix has made up for his crummy set. Seriously though get rid of the silly tube, a the thornax on his hand and then give him one blade he doesn't look half bad.

Does anyone die? (You don't have to tell us who)

Solek is looking at Kopaka like; 'OMG somebody shot Kopaka in the eye' Still these pictures are fantastic.

I'd risk it. The first time you take the pieces off they don't usually break. In fact I've made a lot of MOCs using parts from 2009 sets and only Metus's head is cracked. BTW please post pics of your modification.

I don't have any legends. Gresh istn't that good to be honest. He along with Tarix were the winter line up worsts sets IMO. Mind you at least Tarix had nice gold parts an those amazing weapons. Gresh is just lame.

The only summer set I bought last year was Jetrax so I wouldn't have known the piece came with Takanuva As for the tan piece, I fell a bit silly now due to the fact I own several Bionicle and Technic sets that use both colours. Sorry I don't know how to make them smaller. When you say 'minus the photos' do you mean the quality or size of them? Yay another Vehicle hater.

I guess you should ask.

Well I've just read through the whole topic and i think I've gathered you (Front) work for Lego. If so, what department do you work in and what do you do?

Hi all Welcome to my reveiw of set 8990 Fero and Skirmix. Set Number: 8990 Set Name: Fero and Skirmix Price: 14.65 GBP or 19.99 USD Pieces: 148 The Box The front of the box shows Fero atop Skirmix in the arena. Fero seems to be saying 'charge' and firing his thornax at an unknown target. Skirmix seems to be ignoring Fero and standing in the same spot whilst roaring. The rest of the box displays the age, set number and the name of the set. Notice how it doesn't say special edition because here in the UK Fero and Skirmix are just standard sets. The back welcomes us to the arena; Fero is just standing there, while Skirmix appears to be dancing. The rest tells us there is an action figure game to play and shows the two main functions of the set; the Thornax and Skirmix's jaw movement. At the very bottom we see the B.I.O code and a small ad promoting the other Glatorian. As you can all see I'd already opened the box before I took a photo of the back. Silly me. Pieces New pieces include the life counter for the action figure game, the 'iron man' head in orange, the Thornax launcher, the spikeball, the helmet that also comes with the Skrall set, the new Skrall blade in green which also appears in red with the Skrall set, Glow-in-the-dark green with Akatus and green again with Tuma. Finally we have the new hands, wait no we don't. That's the once thing that bothers me with this set, I don't see why Lego couldn't simply put the grey Akatus hand in this set, it's not like we need a recolor or anything. The recolors include the Fenrak head in dark read, the Makuta Mistika feet and hands in dark red, the shorter double socket picecs once again in dark red and finally this odd piece we haven't seen since the Nui-Jaga in 2001. The Build You first build Fero who is just your basic Agori build and is rather boring. The lack of the new hand piece makes it even more boring. Now once you've got mini Skrall Fero out of the way, it's time to build the gem of the set; Skirmix. You first start to build Skirmix's body and tail. It's not that hard to be honest but still its different and quiet fun to build. You also place the life counter near the neck which makes it flow with the set unlike the other Glatorian which have it bulging out of their backs. The tails is thin and looks stupid on such a muscular body. The legs are once again not that hard to build they're also very sturdy. However the sliver Piraka foot seems way out of place and sort of ruins the colour scheme for the whole set, the standard blue pins to help much either. The hands are made of 2 pieces; the Av Matoran arms/legs and the Shadow Matoran foot. Overall the hands are small, silly and don't seem to have much use, a bit like the arms of a T-Rex. The head is a nice build and the jaw movement it designed cleverly. Once attached to Skirmix the head looks big and powerful, just like a T-Rex =P The whole set take about 1/2 Hour to build and overall its quiet a decent build. Here is your piece inventory. Playability The set is quite fun to play with and The Thornax launcher is a fun projectile, it shoots well but the set only comes with one spikeball so don't lose it! The other forms of play are the fact you can put Fero atop Skirmix and have your own Bonehunter raid; you can also fit other sets on Skirmix as well Skrall and Partario fit fine but Tuma is a bit too big, I can't really judge the action figure game as I don't play it. The other feature is Skirmix's jaws which can maul your other BIONICLE friends to death. There are a few bad things about the set, like the hole in the neck which in my opion looks awful . Another bad thing are those blue pins, just like the feet the ruin the whole colour scheme of the set, I would have much rather had tan pins (like in the Skrall set) than the blue ones. Furthermore the position Fero is placed on Skirmix, you have to bend Skirmix forward so Fero can look in a straight line. Lastly Fero himself is a bad thing; I would have rather had another Inika clone sitting on Skirmix than an Agori. If we had had a canister sized set instead of Fero, the set would be fully worth the money. Here is why you can't sit Fero like he is on the box. Overall Pros Nice pieces Neat recolors Fun build Functions Really fun to play with Fero's sword <3 Cons Few new pieces Fero Blue pins Horrid feet WTF is that a tail? No new hands ;_; Overall Fero and Skirmix is a fairly decent set but I can't fully recommend it to you, sure it is a good set but it isn't fantastic either. So I'll let you decide and with that I leave you one last picture; 'ZOMG it's a big me!' Thanks for reading

That clip was probably the full trailer. But I still need to hear Tuma speak. IMO he needs Vader's voice XD BTW It seens like Tarix will also get an upgrade. Watch the YouTube version and pause at 1:01, thats one of Tarix's waterblades.

That Skopio should have destroyed the Thornatus in the recent clip. I still feel that Gelu should be Mata Nui's 4th companion.

Wow these pics are amazing. You've captured the sets in beautiful detail, well done! Could you please post instructions for the Nocturn head if thats possible.

My pics are massive. I should have warned you all. Now please can you tell me what you thought of my style of reveiwing instead of saying 'teh picz r gigantonormus' BTW Fero and Skirmix is next, because he is brand new and I have not opened the box.

Skopio did bite near the end on the clip. The Rock Steeds look more like mini T-rex IMO, though its true those horse sounds were horrible.

Hi Eurobricks welcome to my first review. Today I shall be reviewing set 8973 Raanu. Set Number: 8973 Set Name: Raanu Price: 4.89 GBP or 6.99 USD Pieces: 14 The Box Man I love Bionicle box art! Rannu's box shows a very detailed picture of him standing in Vulcanus. We should have a strap of plastic round the box but I'd already opened the set soooooo... As I live in the UK I have the European version of the box which shows Raanu standing outside the arena on his tod. If you live in the US he'll be standing with Malum. The back also shows his B.I.O Code and all the legal stuff that none of us reads. Pieces Rannu contains 14 pieces which in my opinion is a bit of a rip off. New pieces include the new 'Iron Man' head, the helmet which apparently resembles a clown, I don't see that resemblance. The other new piece is the hands which are in yellow and I believe no other set this year comes with yellow hands. There are 3 new recolours; the Solek limbs in red, the Matoro mahri blades in red and the Toa Mata feet in yellow. All in all 10 of the 14 pieces are new or recoloured. Not bad Lego. The Build The build is very straightforward. You get the torso, pop on the limbs; add hands, feet, head and finally the weapons. No one will find the even remotely hard. The only bit that confused me was the fact that the longer limbs are his arms instead of his legs unlike Akatus or Berix Playability Raanu is rather fun to play with. He sort of reminds me of Tahu Mata with the fire sword and pre-bent limbs. Raanu has 9 points of articulation which is basically the same as last year's Av-Matoran. However with such few pieces and not functions or projectile Raanu gets boring after about an hour.He is awfully skinny, without a jetpack or wings like his last year equivalent Radiak who is far superior. Oh and did I mention that the sheild is not much of a shield as it leaves Rannus hand exposed offering little protection for his hands. Raanu along with Berix are the most boring of the 6 Agori. With no interesting or animal like look like Zesk and Tarduk and no new weapons like Metus or Akatus. In fact I recommend you get them in that order. To be honest Raanu is only really fun to play with if you have Malum by his side. Overall Pros Over half the pieces are new or recoloured New hands Yellow hands Sort of fun to play with One of the best blockers for the action figure game which I've failed to mention Er... nice box Cons Few pieces Price >_< Skinny and out of proportion Does nothing interesting Lame build Overall I recommend you get Raanu after getting Zesk, Tarduk, Akatus and Metus, if you missed out on the Vakama fire claw thingy (which is a very cool piece indeed), if you want a blocker for Malum or you're just a diehard collector. Like me. With that I leave you one last picture. 'He says I am far superior' Thanks for reading the reveiw.

Wow what a race and what a well disserved win for Barrichello. Martin Whitmarsh was not been all that truthful when he said that the pace of Barrichello pace was better than Hamilton’s (ok maybe that was part of it). But he should have been honest and said the McLaren pit crew screwed up. As for Renault not a bad race for Alonso and Grosjean did alright for his debut. BTW sorry 5150 Lego if I also sounded a bit arrogant by saying Alonso was the best. I was obviously exaggerating .

Thanks Starts to write up endless Bionicle and Castle reveiws. I'll stay forever.

What a beautiful topic. I hope you guys won't mind if I join the discussion. Just so you know I'm a Renault fan and I support Alonso. (Spanish powah!!!) IMO Alonso is the best driver out there its just the car is not that good. Anyways Valencia quali was great. Front row for McLaren (my fellow countrymen will be happy with that). BTW Kim T are you an ALonso fan?

Of course they'll be empty, it's a desert wasteland.
