But this might also lead to some baaaad happenings: Imagine, a collector has 70 troopers waiting for weapons. So he buys 10 army builder sets. He has now 70 troopers with blasters, but 70 new ones sitting around without of any! So he goes and buys another bunch of ten sets! And - guess what - once again there are 70 left over without of their weapons! So he will have to buy ANOTHER bunch! And then.... Finally he will be completely broke and have to sell his house and maybe even his wifes and children and he will become criminal and take drugs and finally commit suicide!!!! X-O X-O X-O What a luck that I am not an army builder.... *sweet* What about buying the remaining guns you need from good old Bricklink so these wonderful things won't happen? :-P I generally don't buy SW sets, but I like the idea of "Battle Packs". Anyone knows what colour are the Battle Droids going to be? Tan? Sand red? Dark tan? And I hope they do a new version of GG, the old one was disappointing. :-/ Shakar

I don't see any sale. Oh, how stupid I am. I forgot Lego does this type of stuff only on the USA, not to mention they already pay less than us Europeans. :-| Shakar

Ok, they're flehies. But remove that and they are quite nice actually. I like your use of the radar dishes with spiral pattern, they make nice shields. I think my favourite is the king, I like his "half evil (black), half white (good) " feel. I like the paladin too, and the warrior, and that berserker with Two Face's head..well, I like them all! Apart from your fleshies, I also like from the Castle section the warder and the Fright Knight shaman (great combination between Killer croc's head and Batman's mask). Shakar

*sits in a corner, crying for some hours. Then uses his Black Knights army to kill all Wolpack solodiers and Ninja.*

There's no need to yell what the pic below represents every time. For example: "CHAIN! Here you can see the chain." And then a close up of the chain. Anyway, it was a pretty good review. However, like TT said some more words would be nice. I got V&F yesterday and I agree that it's a fantastic set, the best Bionicle one of the year along Brutaka. One of my favourite parts of the set is Fenrakk's head, not only it uses a cool special faceplate but those jaws are GORGEUS. They can easily swallow two minifigs! I like Vezon very much, he has a sleek colour scheme, a nice cape, an interesting staff and face. The Mask of Life is quite cool. In all he is my favourite Piraka. I HATE that. It seems like Lego is constantly putting them on (2 lenght red ones), beginning from last year's KK and Vikings. It's so annoying, replacing them makes my black 2 axle rods become rare. I hope they stop that stupid trend. (even though my red 2 axle rods collection is growing ;-) ).Shakar

This is the worst Exo comic we had so far. Why? Because it kills away an awesome set like Bridge Walker too quickly. Because it gets defeated by HA YA TO. Because we know nothing of this White Lightning. It pops out from nothing and what does it defeat? A giant mech with loads of weaponary and that is three or even four times bigger than it, and piloted by a far more experienced pilot like Meca One. Guess I'll invent my own story when I get the set. :-/ Shakar

Here's my guess: 8100 Cyclone Defender: human mech 8101 Claw Crusher: robot mech (maybe has a big "claw" of some sort to justify the name) 8102 Blade Titan: human mech, possibly for Takeshi. Maybe it wields a swoed or a blade? 8103 Sky Guardian: human mech, possibly for Takeshi. I'm thinking something along the lines of a winged mech, kinda like Super Nova. If it is dark blue...sweet. *sweet* 8104 Shadow Crawler: robot Mech. I seriously hope it breaks from the humanoid mechs trend, being a big mean mecha spider like Nova Crawler. Like Exo Master, I'd love it to be black and purple, these two colour go wonderfully together. *y* 8105 Iron Condor: robot mech. I don't know why, but when i think of this a giant mecha condor coloured in sand blue takes shape in my mind. Like in Shadow crawler, I'm hoping for a non-humanoid mech. I hope next year line is satisyfing..EF is getting rapidly better it seems. Oh, and I love the alien idea. Probably it won't happen though. :( Shakar

Today I got: -Turkey (hilarious, great little set) -Chickens and chicks (very cute set, I may get another) -Vezon and Fenrakk. Awesome set, the best Bionicle set of 2006. I'm glad I finally got it. *sweet* Shakar

The Lego Magazine Chief Editor and Bionicle books and comics writer Greg Farshtey, who also works on Exo Force, has put official word on this: The only explanation for this at this point is yet another set, which will probably come out at the same time of BWVWL. Luckily it won't be expensive. I mean, it's a ceremonial, what can you except other than some minifigs and a small building? I like the suits, they're an easy way to get completely dark blue, red and green minifigs (except the heads and hands) if you brasso the torsos. The torso designs are very nice, Hikaru's could (could) work for a fantasy castle minifig. There's just two things that I find wierd....why would Ryo dress in dark green, and where's Hayato? There's no such thing like "Metru blue", man. Dark blue it is called. ;-) Shakar

These were found as stickers in the Clubhouse page on Lego.com: Credit to BZP member gizhou for putting together the three images.

I noticed that only when I looked at Bricklink. At first, I tought it was light green. I think that's the fourth GITD head so far, the first being the evil skull , the second being Snape's face and the third being Voldemort's face. Shakar

I doubt that.....Then again, it's pretty hard to keep in line more than 30000 members, EB is like that thanks to the small amount of members who live here. ;-) Congrats anyway! :-) Shakar

Thanks for answering my question Yoda! Really? :-/ Well, I don't think it looks that bad, however the thing that interests me is the Batwing. It is awesome.Just a thing: could you do another little favor if you can, Yoda? Can you list me all the bley (both dark and light) parts you replaced and the ones you kept? I'd really appreciate that. Shakar

I think that too, indeed I will replace all those annoying dark and light bley pieces with black ones. Otherwise, it is a beauty. And what about Joker's copter? Is it good? Shakar

Curse your fantastic photos of the Batwing Yoda! You made me buy it...it looks so cool. :-) Shakar

I think it is rare to find someone using his chess set for chess. When you put your minifigs on and off the studs, the grip of the minifig's feet will loosen, so it's better to play chess with a REAL chess set. Indeed.Also, 90% of those who buy this set (and the KK one too) do it for the figs, not to play chess. ;-) Small correction: I was wrong about the red faction's shield. It's a red black version of this one. Or maybe it is the snake one... EDIT: Wait! Am I the only one who noticed this? The USA S@H says "Coming soon on 20 Sep 2006" ....I hope it is like last year, when the Vikings sets came far earlier in Europe... Shakar

I figured out the two shield designs! If you look at the third pic, you will see that the red faction has this type but red instead of yellow, while the blue faction has this type, but blue instead of red! We even got new shield designs....awesome. *y* *wub* Shakar

BK...forever! Best CC faction Lego ever made IMO. 6085 is one of my favourite sets ever. They had an excellent heraldry, although some of the figs didn't impress me much. I myself did a redesign of the mounted knights, which are completely black with triple plumes and capes of the same colour (red, blue and yellow). I keep the Dragon Plumes for the highest ranks of the army. If not them, I would choose the Classic Legoland faction, the guys from the legendary 375, for their main castle and because their figs and emblems rocked. Wait...why on the world does Lugnet classifies 6082 under the Black Knights? All I see here are Black Falcons and Crusaders...... Shakar

DARK BLUE CAPES! VIKING SOLDIERS AND LEADERS! LOTS OF MINIFIGS! BEST VIKING SETS EVER! Oh, man....must get this! Sorry my exictment... *wub* Wait wait wait....do I see a Viking queen? 8-

Batman does have a cape in both sets it's just that some people don't like putting them on for some reason. Brickster didn't put on the stickers either on both of the sets but that doesn't mean they don't come in the set either Indeed, that's what I'd like to know. Why didn't you put the capes to the figs, Brickster?Shakar

Wait, you're right! Batman doesn't have the cape here. Kinda disappointing. However, in this pic Brickster took of the good guys from the Batcave, he didn't put their capes: Shakar

Actually, I think yellow orange should have been used. If you look at a clear, nice pic of the megafig Dracus you will see that the yellow used on his armour is a more orange like shade of the normal yellow used on his face and on the minifigs. Bionicle fans should recognize this colour on Keetongu, Visorak Oohnorak, Balta, Umbra and Toa Hewkii. So, I think that the normal yellow should have been used for his face, while his legs and arms should have been yellow orange. In this way the yellow clothes would have not been misrecognized for bare skin. Shakar

That's what I think too. It's too hulking looking to be one. Maybe if he was quadruped, more sleek and had horns, I would like him. But as I said, I plan to buy two of them so I can make one that I like. Shakar

Indeed, Jinzo. The designs and colours are SO much better than the Piraka. Trust me, the masks actually look more normal than the Nuva ones, they're very nice looking. Except Kongu, I really hate his Suletu. Shakar
