No, my point was the downward-spiral-trend of "collectable" names. The Squid Ammo dont even HAVE a fancy name, Cordak Blaster sounds lame, and "Zamor" sounds like it should've been out of some 50's Space-Sci-Fi comic starring Spurt Hammond.

Lets recant, once again... Kanohi Krana Kanohi Nuva Krana-Kal Kraata Kanoka Rhotuka Zamor Squid Ammo Cordak Launcher .... wtf >_>

Wait... Which are the "good" minifigs and the "bad" minifigs? They all look evil to me.

Lego porn? What, from The Brick Testament? Anyhoo, Happy Valentines Day!!!

Whatever. Im on board with the "Our heroes make our villians look heroic!" comment. It doesnt matter what a Hero looks like - all that matters is that he/she give the IMPRESSION of a hero. The Mata did this. The Nuva did this (to an extent... gorram ugly masks). The Metru did this. The Hordika were meant to look rahi-ish, so I forgive them. The Inika could have if they hadnt given them ugly mutant masks. These guys just look THEY should be the villians, or at least berzerk sea rahi or something!

Toa = Hero, right? In that case, you want something that looks HEROIC, right? Please tell me how these guys look heroic >_>

Poor miniature for some crappy game...: Toa Mahri ^^^^^^^^^^ See the similarity? Yup. In short, these guys make the Toa Inika look good. They appear to have realised that the Inika looked like some kind of mutated cross between frogs and aliens, so dropped the frog part and went entirely for alien. Basically, I just wish Lego would make Toa that looked like Toa, not like mutated monsters. The giant plastic weapons are cheesy and the chainguns are despicable. It is extremely hard for me to come up with praise for these guys.

We own a model of the Falcon this big. If I can get it, I will be proud to put this along side it :)

Aye - Pillar of Autumn and In Amber Clad are a nod to quite possibly my favorite video game universe ever :P @ Phes: Yes, the FACTIONS Detailed history, standings, and causes to fight for the Nine Factions of the Archipalego NOTABLE FIGURES From King Kahuka to Brass Storn, the notable men and women of the Nine Factions. NOTABLE SHIPS Ships that have made a great impression on the Archipalego shall be recounted here. sections have to be written up :)

Thats because BIONICLE.Com sucks, and likes denying its own freakin' history. anyway, this BZP thread has them: http://www.bzpower.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=221025

My only gripe with his animation style it is that it is so freakishly fast... Faster then a real swordfight, really :P

Im guessing that dude doesnt design Legos sets anymore, which might explain why up until this years castle theme, its all pretty much SUCKED.

VERY well done! Thats *proper* BIONICLE stop motion :)

I'd be all for Exo-Force if they hadnt decided "LAWL, LET US ARE MAKE IT ANIMEZ!!11" Of course, this may be my rather bigoted opinoin because other then Bleach I pretty much hate all anime.

Yarr - Its complicated now, but as Greg would say, its a "living breathing world". Apparently he never heard of the KISS principle.

Sorry Gravytrain, but nope. Greg erased those, too :P Just kidding. Indeed we do - So lets put em to use.

Allright, in a nutshell... Greg Came, Greg Saw, Greg had Vezon smash Toa Matoro headfirst into a wall. (No, I cant get over that head/wall smashing thing for the life of me :P)

Yay! More cheap plasticy half-melted poorly-sculpted crap that cant even stand up on its own! This is the best promo evar!

Another thing I would like to clear up: My 'Verse here DOES have Violence, and a fair bit of it. The difference is is that unlike the current official 'Verse, I do my best to play it and portray it in an origional and interesting way. We have Toa weilding vast elemental powers here doing battle against twisted Fell Seekers using Kirau "magic". I try to think in the most epic way possible. What is cooler: A villian picking up a Toa of Ice and ramming him head-first into a wall, or a villian throwing an arc of electricity at him which he nimbly dodges. As the Ice Toa prepares to return fire, the arc meant for him smashes a building to rubble before arcing back up and flying at the Ice Toa again - and so the battle continues. I put far more thought into my battles then simple "hack and slash", and try to take advantage of all of the combatants various powers and abilities.

2001-2003 starred the Toa Mata who turned into Toa Nuva in late 2002. In late 2003, Takua the Matoran became Takanuva, Toa of Light. 2004-2005 was a "Flashback" storyline starring the Turaga, when they were Toa and later Toa Hordika. 2006-2007 has starred the Inika who turn Mahri. The Inika are Toa made out of six Matoran from the first 3 years.

G'day, It has intruiged me that here on EB, there are a number of people who, while they with me on my views of Greg Farshtey and the BIONICLE storyline, really like the Toa Inika sets. I for one hate the gorram things. Giant peices, solid yet still poor construction, horrible blob-heads, and above all hideous masks made me think more of "frogs and aliens dumped in a vat of battery acid that then got microwaved" then Toa of legend. So, I thought i'd start a topic to discuss the high and low points of these sets, and what makes people like/dislike them. Y'know... for discussions sake :P

Off Topic: AAAUUUGH! THE DANCING CAT THINGS ARE GNAWING AT MY BRAIN! On topic: Aye, indeed... I just wish they had stopped BIONICLE while it was still cool, rather then letting it fade into mediocrity... :/

I dunno... his poor Gollum ripoff for Vezon was *exceedingly* lame.

True, but he's the "figurehead" (see: scapegoat) who "interacts" (see: rules over) with the "community" (see: The Horde that is the Target Auidience), so I still blame him - particularly as many of the WORST things - such as 3,000 Toa - are confirmed to ahve come from him and only him.

Well, greg IS the one who said that since Bionicles cant reproduce, they cannot feel love, and thus that wouldnt be a story aspect anymore. Just lame shoot outs and ice toa getting rammed into walls >_>
