  1. I thought Onua used his tools when he burst through the ground at the end...
  2. The circle in the mask makes it look more like scuba gear, which is probably what they were going for.
  3. Thanks! Even though I think the scythes work well, they were pretty much my only option without breaking the color scheme, unless I used something entirely black, which I didn't want to do. I got that complaint about the torso on my last MOC (Toa of Virtues), so I tried to make his limbs a little longer so it looks better in proportion, because I really didn't want to give up that torso build. I tried to fix it by turning the hip piece flat, but then his body sticks too far back. Thanks again! Yeah, building him mostly without blue pins is a challenge, and I couldn't find a workaround for that part.
  4. Thanks for all the great reviews! Wish me luck!
  5. Wish me luck for the BFTGM contest! I'm goin' for the gold!

Wielding twin scythes, this Toa's goal is to impose these upon the world by any means necessary, but he is always kept in check by his brother.

  9. Mask of earth. For some reason, I just love that mask. I always loved the old pakari. The mask of ice is a close second.
  10. Can't wait to submit my MOCs! One more day, just to check for any flaws... "When you loose, I'll have that mask!"
  11. Getting ready to enter two new MOCs into the BFTGM contest! Watch out, competidors!

  12. I take back what I said earlier, I didn't update my computer. The pictures are good now.
  13. In 2007, I thought that the next year would take place in the sky. I even drew pictures of Matoran with wings! Granted, I thought the entire island would be flying, but I was still very close. A battle in the sky seemed like the natural place to go after an underwater theme.
  14. The mountains make the six elemental villages more prominent. Looking at the island of Mata Nui, you have no idea where each village is without labels.
  15. Typos, bad formatting, weird picture sizes, the whole site looks like it was done by an unpaid intern. I hope they clean it up when they do the full update when it no longer is just a "sneak peek", it doesn't really fit in with the rest of the Lego site. The pictures don't even fit on my screen!
  16. The website seems a little messed up now. All the pictures are giant... Or is it just me?
  17. A scheme by the EPA to make people scared of garbage cans, so they will recycle more. Trick-or-treating
  18. What do you think Lego could have done differently to make Bionicle gen 1 last longer? Although I believe they did the right thing, could it have gone on a few more years? What would have been different with the storyline? Should they have made the storyline simpler?
  19. Well, I'm also a senior in high school, so I'm not quite old enough to live on my own! The class was twice a week, and lasted one semester. I did it to get a head start in Spanish for college. I was the youngest in the class, and it was very difficult! Over half the class dropped after the first few days, so it ended up being a class with only 9 people. All homework was done online, so that was very different from high school. It is a LOT more homework, but you had 2 weeks to do each "set" of homework. I was able to get a B in it, and it did prepare me for Spanish 2.
  20. I got into Northern Illinois University to study physics! It was my back-up school, since it was the easiest to get in out of my choices, but it is still a pretty good school. Filling out the apps are fairly easy. Most of it is just filling in basic info like classes you took, grades, activities, etc. That part is very quick, the only parts that take some time are the essays, sending transcripts/ACT scores, and getting recommendations. For sending your transcript, you need to see your school counselor, but the rest is pretty self explanatory. A lot of schools use something called the "Common App" where you only have to fill out one app, and you can send it to any school that accepts the "Common App". You can set up an account for free and look at the questions they ask, and that is pretty similar to what most schools do. Also, don't procrastinate! A lot of schools do something called an early decision where if you send the application by a certain date, your chances of getting in are a little higher. So I would check those dates for the schools you are looking for. I actually already have a little idea of what college is like, because I took a class at the College of DuPage during Junior year to get an extra year of Spanish, so I can tell you a bit about that if you want. PM me if you want, since that is a little off-topic.
  21. I'm going through the same process, and I am already accepted into one! Really, dont stress yourself too much. Most of it is simply filling in basic info, but you need to give essays, if they require any, a bit of thought. Keep making drafts, have other people edit it, and above all, be honest. The people who read them read hundreds of essays, and they can tell if you're lying or had someone else write it. When writing, make sure you stay within ten percent of the word limit, if they say you can go slightly over. Also, dont think colleges wont look in your social media, so make sure there is nothing on there that you dont want them to see. Some colleges want recommendations, so make sure you ask whoever you want a recommendation from well in advance, tell them when it is due by, and tell them face to face if possible. One more thing, visit the campus if you can. Colleges are more interested in you if you show a strong interest in their school. Also, you get to know what you are applying for a bit more. In all, apply to about 6 schools. Some should be reach schools, and some should be easy back up schools, but dont apply to a place you cant see yourself going to. Good luck!
  22. I don't think they will use Bionicle.com anymore. Everything seems to advertize lego.com/bionicle. They are probably doing this because they want to make it clear that Lego owns Bionicle. Seeing how well Lego has been doing recently, I can see why they want to put their name on it.
  23. Now THIS theory is what I'd like to see! Lego as a lot of different avenues they can go down with this setup!
  24. Ah, that makes sense! That would be an easy way for the Toa to defeat them, however, why would that mask exist in the first place? I agree that they might pull a ninjago on us at the end, and make Makuta a good guy, but I still think that the spiders were made by him. Perhaps they are kanohi experiments that went wrong? Maybe he somehow conjured them while he has been sleeping? Either way, I'm sure that they wont succeed this year, since they are probably keeping both mask makers asleep until the very end.
  25. I'd say that the Skull Spiders are servants of Makuta. Their goal is probably to obtain all masks of power, and use them to awake Makuta. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they were created by Makuta in the first place. I hope so, because that would mean that Makuta is still the evil mastermind who always plans ahead As for the pedestals, I don't think that they were created by anyone. The masks are probably leaking so much power, they just create a pedestal underneath themselves. Sounds kind of weird, but I don't see why someone would want to find a mask of power just to build a pedestal underneath it. Also, any ideas for what the golden mask in the LoSS set does? I'm betting it gives you spider-man powers
