  1. Oh, I wasn't aware he was the designer of the MechDragon. Probably was him who made the reference.
  2. "Power up Jay for battle in the huge ElectroMech!" That, my friend, is a reference to Exo-Force's "POWER UP"... uh, motto? Saying? Regardless, it was a something in Exo-Force they would say before powering up a Mech. Does this mean Stafford has been on the NINJAGO team for Rebooted and this year?
  3. It gets worse. I just realized why those eyes are glowing. The stone is cracking as well, revealing you-know-what. Enter the Serpent was a strange name, but now that it's literal... If I was lived in Ninjago, my pants would be browner than Dareth's outfit at this point. Also, why the heck does Pythor want to awaken another giant snake?
  4. Set descriptions below. There really are spoilers here, btw. Did I spy with my little eye an Exo-Force reference? Edit 2: 1000th post!
  5. NINJAGO 2015 sets have been added to Australian S@H It doesn't detract from the overall quality, though.
  6. Pythor's probably going to come in at some point and wipe the floor with both of them. At least I hope so, anyway. Having Pythor, of all characters, serve Chen would be a terrible idea. Edit: http://41.media.tumb...l87vo1_1280.jpg That's one big snake. Calling it now, Garmadon will have history with this snake. STUPID THEORY TIME! He gets bitten and becomes evil again. We're in luck.
  7. No thanks. CCBS is all fine and dandy but it's nothing like the art style and aim of Exo-Force. Provided there were actual legs on the Minidolls I don't think anyone could complain about that.
  8. I'd rather they just redid Exo-Force. Minus the crazy amount of stickers.
  9. Petition to bring back Hero Factory?
  10. That Zane minifigure Drat, I went looking for the sets just yesterday too
  11. I... wow. I didn't think I could lose almost all my respect for the handling of the BIONICLE reboot in one sitting, yet somehow I just did. I mean, granted, this isn't exactly the way you judge the handling of an entire line, but good grief that game is horrible. It's literally nothing like MNOG in any way. I was expecting maybe some details yet it lacks any. The art style is nice, but that's about all I can say from my perspective.
  12. MAKUTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I can see it now. "BIONICLE: THE MASK OF ULTIMATE POWER". (starring Baby Protector as the Master of Ultimate Power)
  13. And it's not even an in-use oil rig. Greenpeace has had no problem with oil rigs being made as sets in the past, only when LEGO makes deals with companies that use them
  14. It's a very unique ship, that's for sure. It looks like the Bridge is made from the Mars Mission windscreen pieces. It also looks like it's brick-built, too. I was hoping for an underwater base like the Aqua Raiders one, but this is cool too. The main problem I have with Antimatter's base is how unoriginal it is, as you said it's nothing we haven't seen before, and we've seen better than it in the City Coast Guard sub-theme. Not to mention that it looks so bad in comparison to the Volcano Base from Agents, and the little mini-base from Agents 2.0 did far better with its piece count.
  15. I'm looking forward to the UA boat rather than Antimatter's base, but I'm gonna wait until we get proper pictures before I decide which one I get.
  16. Yeah, I feel the exact same way. There's nothing about the Cultists that could be feared other than their lynch-mob nature. Clouse is the only one that seems to even have a clue what to do, and even then he's serving an idiot without question.
  17. So am I, it just doesn't really feel the second episode was very focused, and after the first episode being very good (for an "intro" episode) it makes both episodes rather meh, IMO.
  18. Agree 100% here. But wasn't the original MNOG so popular that years later they had to make it available for download again?
  19. I'm pretty sure that's the kind of feel they were going for, was a merge of the classic "fight to the death" tournament with a secret Temple Of Doom-esque plotline, with a bit of NINJAGO thrown into it as well. If they were trying to achieve anything like what I've just said, they only managed the first and third of those. The cultists don't seem creepy or dark (but thankfully not unnecessarily dark), just a bunch of weirdos that worship snakes. Really, this has been one of the lightest seasons of NINJAGO already, excluding the pilots (and I'm willing to debate that, mind you) and the fillersodes between episodes 13-20. The first season by this point had the Monastery burned to a crisp, snake mutinees (and a 1v1 fight sequence), among other things. Hardly dark, but it was more serious than 2015's plot so far. Maybe it's because of Karlof's fate being revealed so early, maybe it's just because it's made the timeline absolutely crazy and devaluing some characters to the point they may as well not exist, but it just feels very empty so far. A lot of build-up, and a lot of nothing, really.
  20. I do believe I said, "I can feel the dissappointment already", not "I myself disappointed by this announcement". Frankly, I don't really care where LEGO drags BIONICLE to next. I'm referring to the name of the app, "Battle for the Golden Masks". The name's implication, if true, is going to disappoint anyone hoping for something like MNOG.
  21. I rarely ever check on most forums on EB, so I'm out of the loop most of the time. It's a habit I'm slowly starting to break. By the way, the 2014 Samurai X minifgure is essentially, "Stone Nya". While there most certainly were in-plot differences between her Samurai gear and the Stone armour, the styles of armor are undeniably the same.
  22. Trailer for the new app. I can feel the disappointment already. On the plus side, a better view of that commercial.
  23. As cool as that would be, LEGO really needs to stop it with special editions of the Hau. It's the most iconic mask, but it'd be nice to see something else, like the Pakari or the Akaku.
  24. Cole and Jay hit each other's lunch trays, and one of their drinks spills over. The liquid that comes out isn't just a blob of mercury like it usually is. Edit: Aw, the next episode comes out on the 17th... Sigh. Also, the new soundtrack (and intro) just got a whole lot more awesome:
  25. Yeah. With an luck, the other 3 minifigs will be Stone Jay, Stone Cole and Rebooted Nya *overly wishful thinking*
