In response to this topic, this is how 2004 should've started. I have to say, the setting and terminology of this story really parallels with that of Bionicle's early years.

It may be Mega Bloks, but it gives a pretty good idea as to where TLC is heading with this new building system. I like it, personally. Thoughts?

I checked with my parents last night and they said it would be alright. There's just a couple more things I need to do; hopefully I'll have the topic up by the end of the day. Really excited about this. ^.^ I might be getting rid of something that meant a lot to me for a long time, but the money's going towards something I view as a lot more important to me now.

I made a list of all the sets I believe I have. I'm not actually selling anything yet, but I'd like to know if there's actually an interest in any of these. I'm assuming I'd charge $3 for a small set, $6 for a canister set, and $10 for a large set (give or take, depending on the size of the model and the original price). If I do this, it'd be for cash only - I would be doing this because I desperately want a bass guitar. Here's the list: Matau Nuju Onewa Jala Maku Gahlok Lehvak Tahu Nuva Lehvak-Kal Gahlok-Kal Kopeke Matoro Hahli Hewkii Hafu Macku Panrahk Lerahk Guurahk Vorahk Turahk Toa Lhikan & Kikanalo Toa Matau Toa Vakama Keerakh Tehutti Nidhiki Krekka Turaga Dume and Nivawk Iruini Toa Hordika Vakama Toa Hordika Nokama Toa Hordika Onewa Toa Hordika Matau Toa Hordika Nuju Keelerak Suukorak Toa Iruini Vezok Zaktan Thok Axonn Brutaka Toa Hahli Toa Jaller Toa Kongu Carapar Mantax Ehlek Pridak Defilak Dekar Toa Mahri Kongu Toa Mahri Jaller Toa Mahri Hewkii Toa Mahri Hahli 2008 Lewa Nuva 2008 Pohatu Nuva Vamprah Chirox Gavla Kirop Toa Ignika Krika Bitil Rockoh T3 Stronius Mata Nui Kaxium V3 (I only have the smaller half and its rider; for some reason my friend and I decided to split the set ) Rahkshi Tahu Piraka Takanuva Gresh Skrall I haven't actually rebuilt all of these sets yet, so there might be some that aren't on that list, and some that would have to come off it due to missing parts. But that's the general idea - anyone interested in anything up there?

Listen to it. It's from the Katanagatari OST (you can listen to it on that video site). Song #12, DUB TRIP. Tell me, does that sound exactly like something from Ga-Koro on the MNOG? Iwasaki Taku, you are the man. (I'm having this weird obsession with the old Bionicle music lately, in case you're wondering why the heck I would mention an anime OST)

So school is over. Which means I can carry out all that stuff I've been wanting to do since the beginning of the year. Starting with photographing and posting that MOC.

A: I'm a little old for it. B: The line's ended anyway. No new sets to buy, and collecting was part of what made it fun. C: I'm not using them anymore. Haven't built anything since maybe Christmas. D: I could really use some ca$h in my pocket. So I was just wondering - how much d'you guys think I could get for a decent collection of BIONICLE pieces? I've been getting sets since '01 (I'm only gonna keep the original Toa). I have 12 or 13 baitboxes full of pieces, and at least six gallon-size Ziplocs on top of that.

I can never look at Lego the same way. I'm sorry if you have no idea what I'm talking about, but my thoughts aren't very collected at this moment after finding out about how he passed away. http://www.brothers-brick.com/2010/04/13/f...-nnenn-nielsen/ Maybe I can recollect my thoughts later and re-post them. God, this reminds me of Beliwa.

Needs more planet throwing. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «Well, the comic was just too rushed for me to appreciate it. Too many important details were skipped (Glatorian just SUDDENLY become friends with the Toa) and a whole lot of deus ex machinas (Tahu's armor, random rock knocking out Makuta). Mata Nui sealing himself in the Ignika was good though. Am curious as to what that monstrosity in the back cover is supposed to do in the storyline asides from being Krahka 2.0.

MT-201 Ultra-Drill Walker. On sale. From $70 to $40. TJ Maxx. Open Xmas day. Can't wait. Also, 2x Neo-Shifters. Can't wait.

By some incredible miracle, all six Stars were available, either in Toys "R" Us or at the Lego Store. So I have them all for Christmas and I can still get the three albums I want without exceeding budget (the albums are Waking Up by OneRepublic, Hot Mess by Cobra Starship, and The Script by The Script). And for the first time since 2001, I'm going to have all six sets in a lineup at once, all under the Christmas tree. And just to add irony to that situation, the ones I got in 2001 were the first line, the Toa Mata...and the ones I got now are the last, the Stars. Kinda cool, eh?
-
I asked for all six for Christmas, hoping to take advantage of the Toys "R" Us sale. My mom's going to Toys "R" Us today. I know the sale's going on - but I'm really scared that they're gonna be out of stock. Cross your fingers for me, please. Also, on an impulse, I started rebuilding my Toa Mata. I'm missing one heart-ball, Kopaka's shield, and one large gear. I have to say, though, 9 years and only three missing pieces is pretty dang incredible to me. Update: Spoke too soon. Both of Onua's claws are missing, too.

Ah well. Nice long run, but I'm not upset. Neo Shifters, here I come (if I find any tommorow shopping)! (btw Roa, when are you going to post those small phantom pods?)

I was at Wal-Mart with a friend who had $30 to spend on Lego, and he decided to get us both something. But the only thing that looked even remotely appealing was the Kaxium. When I told him it was two bikes and two figures, he decided we'd each take one of them. I took the bigger bike (mostly because it had more pieces I could use) and the figure that went with it. So I now have 1/2 Kaxium.

Takanuva becomes a Toa of ice?

Stronius. And he is awesome. Very, uh, very rocky.

Date Log: I-E-9 I2-IAPM Unit #JVVJ...scanning. Review found. Review has been reformatted from speech to text. Will continue scanning review... Presentation From the design of the box to the instruction manual, these are the first things you see before building the set. I gotzeed Rockoh T3. And he's awesome. REALLY awesome. I feel terrible about him, though, because it's a $40 set and my friend's mother paid for it as a Christmas present to me...but really, $40 can't be spent this well anywhere else. Trust me. Our box is relatively standard...we see Pohatu with readapted armor hunched over the handlebars of the Rockoh. In the background, there's the imposing swamp, which actually looks nice on this set, considering the lime green/green elements. The back is standard stuff. We see the "special edition" Pohatu pilot figure standing alone, with the T3 making a rather nice background for him. This is probably the best look at the Rockoh alone you'll get before you build the set. It really doesn't even look that complex there, does it? There are a couple of other things to note about the back. Obviously, we have our good old Kanoka/BIO Code (which I can't seem to make work...), and a huge surprise: no safety information on the back. That's strange, isn't it? But no sir, no info whatsoever. There is also a shot of how to hold the Rockoh--by its obtrusive landing gear, but we'll get into that later. A'ight, so you can imagine my excitement at this set...but we still need to take a look at the instruction manual. Oh, wait, did I say instruction manual? I meant instruction manuals. THREE OF THEM, GUYS. Wowee. They're all the standard stuff, though, pretty easy to follow...a pleasant surprise within is the actual 1:1 scale piece comparison that's been absent in most sets since '01. Then, I haven't received many titan sets recently, so I don't know how long they have--or haven't--been there. Building Half the fun is had building the set. How fun is it to build and how easy or challenging is it? Well, the Rockoh most definitely was not a disappointment when it comes to building. I haven't had this much fun building a set since the Kikanalo, and that's really saying something! But first, we need to take a look at our pieces...of the 391 in this set, very few of them are actually new/interesting. But those few that are are really awesome. Among the interesting pieces are a number of Metru Green plates used to make up the front. These plates are really intriguing pieces, and I can only imagine all the awesome stuff MOCists will make with them. There are a large number of white rubber bands (which, cool dude that I am, I left at my friend's house), three lime recoloured Inika shoulder plates, two old Bohrok claws (seeing those come back was awesome), a silver Inika plate, an orange Jaller Inika armor plate, two of Kopaka's sights, Matau's old aero slicers, black Boxor gears, a finblade, '08 jets, a totally ownage headplate, and several tri-axles. The headplate is actually a lot more than just a normal headplate with four added spikes--there are actual interesting designs and such on it. This thing could be a mask in itself, if you had the ingenuity to make it one. The tri-axles are also really awesome, and I've already seen dozens of MOCs that made awesome use of this new piece. All right! We've gone over the pieces, so let's get to what you really wanna see--the Rockoh being built. Right? If there's one thing to say for the Rockoh, it's build is just genius. I absolutely loved it--it was so exciting to watch the jumbled frame turn into a masterpiece of Lego creation! The building process was, of course, divided into sections, but unlike some titans, you don't build all the sections before putting them together--rather, you put them together, and then begin to build atop them, which I found really neat. But, of course, we must mention Pohatu...he's so standard, it's not even funny. Seriously. Just an Inika with altered armor and a flipped body. Nothing to really see there...but he serves his use fantastically, and there is something really pleasing about his looks as a whole. Personally, though, I think a different choice of feet might have been better... And it's complete! Set Design Now that the set is complete, we can critique how it looks from every angle. Quite honestly, there's nothing to say here. The Rockoh is awesome. Really great color scheme--the silver is matched in well--and it just gives this really fantastic, almost beautiful look. If there's one thing I don't like about its design, it's the rather sloppy seat. But heck, who cares about the seat? Pohatu's got his buttarmor on it all the time, anyway. Playability The other half of the fun is in playing with the set. How well does the set function and is it enjoyable to play with? Heh, wow...the building was fun, but the set is even more so. I spent quite a while flying the Rockoh around, gripping its obtrusive landing gear-- Right. The landing gear. It's awkward, odd-looking, and actually makes landing a real pain in the butt. Needless to say, I dislike this part of the Rockoh...but then, it would make flying it around awfully hard if it didn't have it. But Lego decided to outdo themselves in 2008, oh yes they did--FEATURES. We have first a Zamor-launching feature, which is pretty awesome. By pulling a lever near Pohatu's feet, you fire a Zamor sphere--and pretty far, too. However, the Midak Blasters do a much better job of firing, in my opinion. Still, this feature of the Rockoh is fantastic. Then we have a real feature--a gear feature. The ability to fold up the Rockoh's guns. This can be done by twising a large rod near the Rockoh's jet. For some reason, this feature doesn't work well for me at all, and I'm pretty sure I did something wrong while building. Sometime, I'm going to have to take it apart a little bit and figure out what's up with it. Nonetheless, if the feature works on your Rockoh, it's really neat. Final Thoughts Once it's all said and done, how does the set stack up? Should I get it? That's not even a question. This set is marvelous. You could buy four Mistika, spend forty bucks, and not get nearly the value you'll get from Rockoh. Seriously. This set has to be my all-time favorite--I've never received a set as exciting or interesting as this one. Who knows? Maybe it'll last more than three months. Pros What's to like? -Great color scheme -Awesome piece assortment -GEAR FEATURE -Neat firing mechanism -Fantastic build/design Cons What's not to like? -Standard Inika figure -Awkward landing gear -Gear function may or may not work Quite obviously, this set's pros greatly outweight its cons. I would have never thought to get Rockoh before now, but this...this changed my mind, completely and utterly. Absolutely wonderful. Its well worth the price, trust me; if you want one of the vehicles fairly cheap, Rockoh's so the way to go!

December 28, 2008 It really does. Stand Up (For the Champions)- Champs United. I'll even go ahead and show you just why it fits with the 2009 Glatorian theme--though I think you'll see without my "narrative". I was built to be the best Number one and nothing less The Glatorian have to be the best, number one, nothing less, to claim Bara Magna's valuable resources for their home tribe. Leave me to my destiny I have waited patiently Their destiny, generally, is to save their home tribe. Sometimes they're going to lose, so they have to wait for that destiny to come true. I have vision oh I believe I know I can count on me I'm not quite sure if I get the "I have vision" part, even in the song's regular context...but I'm assuming that it would translate to them having the vision of their tribe being best off. And of course they have to count on themselves--they can't truly trust Glatorian from other tribes, can they? Makes them rather independent. So stand up for the champions For the champions stand up Stand up stand up For the champions for the champions Stand up for the champions For the champions stand up Stand up stand up For the champions for the champions Stand up Their tribe, the champions, stand up and applaud, rejoice, because you just won something pretty valuable on that planet. Simple enough. Here we go it's getting close Now it's just who wants it most Representing the fact that they would be getting close to the end of the battle, and some really desperate maneuvers might be implemented at a point such as that. So it's really who wants the resources most, who's most desperate to win. It's just life that's how it is Cause we have our strength and weaknesses For the Glatorian, that is just life and how it is. They have their weak points and strong points, physically and metaphorically. Oh I have vision' oh can't you see I'm on the move make way for me I already went through the vision part. And as they advance, battle after battle, aggression and pride would rise, and room would be made amongst the most honored Glatorian for the new champion. And when I fall down I have to pick myself back up Fall down, get down, lose a few battles--the only way to keep on winning is to pick themselves back up and continue the fights, true? It repeats the general chorus lines for the end, so I won't even bother going over that again. The full lyrics: I was built to be the best Number one and nothing less Leave me to my destiny I have waited patiently I have vision' oh I believe I know I can count on me (chorus) So stand up for the champions For the champions stand up Stand up stand up For the champions for the champions Stand up for the champions For the champions stand up Stand up stand up For the champions for the champions Stand up Here we go it's getting close Now it's just who wants it most It's just life that's how it is Cause we have our strength and weaknesses Oh I have vision' oh can't you see I'm on the move make way for me (chorus) 4x And when I fall down I have to pick myself back up So stand up stand up for the champions For the champions stand up Stand up stand up For the champions for the champions Stand up 4x Stand up stand up For the champions for the champions Stand up Listen to it sometime if you want. Not a half bad song.

December 27, 2008 1) Mutations. Mutagen. Mutants. Toa Hordika, Rahaga, Barraki, Swamp Makuta...it's starting to become truly commonplace in the BIONICLE Universe, and it gets kinda boring. At least this time around, there's no real "mutation" going on, by the looks of it. Just deevolution. 2) Cataclysms...three now. One in the MU, when Mata Nui fell, one on Spherus Magna, and one on Bara Magna. Those last two I think might be related somehow. Maybe. I just hope there aren't anymore--they aren't quite getting old, but they'll get boring if they continue. I dunno what provoked me to make this entry. xP

October 17, 2008 Brothers in Arms 4 is up on Bioniclestory.com if you want to check it out! It's good.. Could someone email this to news for me, please? Yahoo isn't sending on the stupid MacBook for some reason. :S Shank chu.

September 14th, 2008 Great news: I got more storage bins for my pieces! Great news for me, at least. I bought five new bins, $21.42, a great deal. Granted, I could have had two new canister sets or four new Matoran, but I really needed the extra space. I now have 12 bins filled to the brim with pieces. I really recommend these things; they're clear plastic bait boxes. Not fancy ones or anything. Look for them in the fishing section of your local Wal Mart--you can probably find them for four a five bucks a pop. Really, it's one of the best investments anyone can make; MOCists absolutely have to have these, and people who tend to lose pieces when they take sets apart should have 'em, too. I still have most of my collectibles in Ziploc baggies, along with all my weaponry. I'll need to invest in more bins once I have a job...and then invest in somewhere to keep them. My closet won't hold many more. And my comics should be posted very, very soon.
