I'm going to be talking about Legends #9 so you know the drill
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Well the description for #9 is "A new world awaits -- a city in the sky -- and the legend continues . . ." Now if they hadn't just had a city underwater then I would be fine with this, but at this rate they are starting to run the gambit of stereotypic fantasy locations. Now I know this is a very limited description. I hope that by "in the sky" it means that it's an island that i
For the first time in a long time I spent nearly the entire day on BZP. Mostly reading up on S&T stuff I'd lost my touch on (matoran of light you say?). Posting here and there in everything from art to giving a Strong Bad quote. It felt really good to just hang around and talk shop with you guys and gals again.
More reviews will come later...as well as a few more of these.
Man it's hot
How hot is it?? It's soo hot that Tahu set himself on fire just to cool off. It's soo hot that Mt Ihu has turned into a giant bath tub. It's soo hot I come up with dumb jokes as to how hot it is. Wonder if Mertru Nui has to worry about global warming?
Ok today we will talk about the before time that was before time that was before time. We have heard from matoran legend that before the coming of Mata Nui that they lived in darkness knowing only their work, if the borke they we
Well I just recently got Muaka & Kane-ra thanks to the wonder that is Ebay, and I have to say these may be my new(old) favorite sets.
Not to mention I got them mint in original box for $35...gotta love it.
But back to the sets, I absolutely love these things, I was amazed at how many peices on there I hadn't seen before, not to mention the pure originality of the bull and the cat. I know that this set and many of the original rahi were based on an old Lego Technic brand whose name esca
In all the fun an celebration going on with BZP's birthday I completely forgot about how long I'd been on here
5 years!!!
I really can't believe it's that long...seems like just yesterday I was surfing on Google and did a search for Bionicle just wanting to see what was on the LEGO page and found BZ Community. I can say that there hasn't been a day that's gone by that I haven't been here at least once every day....mostly more. I'm usually just lurking in the back reading the news stories a
I'm starting to like this blog thing, I can post the random theories I have on here instead of posting them on the forum. I came up with my new theory while reading the offical geography topic. I started thinking about how any of the other underground domes besides Metru Nui got light. If there wasn't an island above them then any kind of opening in the dome would be pearing up into the bottum of the Mata Nui ocean. Next I started thinking about that protective clear barrier that is said to cove
Aright now that the forums are back online (which I think was just some sort of ploy so the collective energies of the site could be focused into shipping little blue bricks) I thought I would share how my project currently know as "The crazy idea for a fan made Powercast that will most likely fail" is going so far:
Actually the down time for the forums have been a bit of a blessing for me cause the time I usually use sneaking my way around the forums could be put to better use. I think I kno
Well I've got some time between classes (ok actually in classes) so I thought I'd post. THats the only thing school internet is good for since I cant get on any offical Bionicle site (INCLUDEING THE GAME!!!) and quite a few others for no real reason.
Dont know if I ever talked about this before but I have a new philosophy on life and I approriately call it the "hordika montra". In our super evolved electronic society we often forget we once lived in trees and had to hunt for our food. We ne
This blog contains spoilers contains spoilers. If you dont wanna know about the future then stop reading.
Ok, so the big buzz round here seems to be all about Greg's little quote about a Toa of ice resurecting a large amount of ol sea bones to launch an attack on Pridak and his fishy army. Now at first when I heard the screaming ideas of "TOA THOK!!!" and "THOK'S A MASK!!" i laughed it off, but then I actually thought about it. There's one thing for sure, whoever that ice toa is he doesnt s
Well it has been a while since I blogged on here (when did blog become a verb anyway?) but seeing how I got a special package in the mail I figured I have a really good reason now. That's right girls and rahi, I got the Inika from Shop@Home today, and I am not amused. But where to begin, well the begining in the very good place to start I'm told so I'll start with the first thing I saw, the cans. Course I don't know if you would call them cans anymore. They are big, really big, which kinda expla
Well I just beat the demo for Bionicle Heroes and I must say I am intrigued. If you want the easiest explination for the game: It's Lego Star Wars, cept with guns. That last line suprised me the most, for a toyline that once had such a strong antigun standing.
Basically the toa each have a unique gun, and by a unique I mean strickingly similar to real world guns. Jaller has a machine gun, Hahli has a flame (sorry water) thrower, Hewkii has a rocket launcher, Matoro has a sniper rifl
this is how the Transformers should look in the movie:
Jazz
This is much better, and you can even tell it's Jazz if you remeber his good old G1 version. f they can get this one and Prime relatively right why cant they get the otheres any where close?
(Sorry image was streching screen, I have a widescreen monitor so I didnt notice)
And now for my opinion on the Mahri.
Why the rocket launchers...why?? they have metru faces (THEY CAN WEAR MASKS!!! ) so why cant we have masks again. Or remember the kanoka? we had a whole series of collectibles that only one Toa Metru could use. Actually in my opinion we need to abandon the collectibly thing all together, if you can buy sets of "bullets" there's really no point.
First i would like to say that the Mahri for the most part remind me of the nuva, they are essentially the s
That title was suppose to be funny, but it turned into an actual observation. but still...HILARIOUS!!
not really.
It seems the collective bionicle communty is holding it's breath waiting for Toy Fair to come yet again. We will hopefully be able to see the Mahri and other sets officially and I can't wait.
"How many po-matoran does it take to screw in a light bulb?"
"4, one to screw in the light bulb and 3 more to carve a statue commemorating the occasion."
I'm still slightly co
Seems like all i ever post in reviews on here, but I just cant stop.
I got my copy of Bionicle Legends #5 Inferno today, still dont have #4 but thats another story.
Back to the book at hand, I'm going to try and write a review without spoilers but a few might slip out..so heres your warning.
This may now be my favorite book in the series. It has non stop action from start to finish and yet still tells a great story. I guess it wont be a spoiler to say that the battles with the guardians
So lately I've been working on coloring and cleaning up a pic a friend drew me of everyone's favorite character: Kraka the toa (and such a good name too). The original sketch was so good that I wanted to make sure my version was just as good. What I ended up doing to creating two different pictures on two different programs. And I just can't seem to choose which one looks best. So I'm asking you, help a buddy out and post a comment on which you think is better. Hopefully I'll get to use the winn
I think I've figured iut the secret to psoting blogs on here, it's all about the timing. Posting at 1 in the morning isnt the best time to attrack readers.
Which is why I'm posting at about 11. Gradual steps people.
And thanks to ~Makaru~ for pointing out my inability to remeber Tahu giving the mask back to Vakama. So it aint hanging in the middle of an enemy stronghold. Wonder how Metru-Nui is doing....
Wonder if Bionicle has robot chickens.....thats a good show.
night all
Well, I haven't posted in a while but I have reason, my grandfather had a heart attack and is still in the hospital so I have been a little busy with that. But in what free time I have had I thought some interesting thoughts which I will post later. So expect to see big blogs about whether or not magic exists in Bionicle universe, the philosophical questions senscient biomechanical beings cause, and an idea I had about what it was like in the dark times. Plus the usual horrible jokes and bad Rod
I've been trying to do something sneaky that my friends over at a Transformers website taught me.
trademark searches
You can often find the names of products long before their release because of the need to copyright the names.
Hasbro, the company that makes transformers has thousands of trademarks for all kinds of different toys.
But lego does not.
actually it may be because Lego in itself is apperently not the company filing for lego patents. If you do a search for lego on
New Powercast? make podcast
Let the members do it, no direct involvement by BZP staff
unless we get it offical, then have a mention of it in the news each time an episode comes out
About 4 members and do it every other week
Would need to get permission from parents for anyone under 13 or so....dont want cops at door
make it just like four people sitting around talking Bionicle, relaxed feel.
cover all the big news on BZP from the last two weeks
talk about whats been going o
Sorry it's been way too long but I've been busy what with the learning how many electrons is equall to the watts of a capacitor. Fun time college indeed.
But the news from today made me think I might need to retract a former blog (not the megatron one, he still looks like that) But with a closer comparison of the new baddies and sounding like the green one is suppose to look like thatand the others won't I'm actually excited about seeing the other new ones. I'm one of those that find kinda o
The audition contest for my Podcast is almost over. Be sure to get your auditions in BEFORE January 15th.
if you have no idea what I'm talking about then please go here.
now is when the fun can start!
Do I dare say it? Are the Barraki really different enough to warrant 6 different reviews instead of the usual all in one can review? Has Lego finally fixed the clone sets? I dare say yes.
So for the first time I'm gonna actually review the Barraki each in their own post. So lets start with everyone's favorite, Pridak.
lets start with the parts. As far as new parts go there are about 5. His main torso, arms, and legs are all old parts but are arranged in very new ways. We now have a waist
Here's something for yah:
Two Toa walk into a protodermis pub. One says to the other "So what kinda Toa are you?" The second Toa replies "I'm an Ochmi Toa." The first Toa responds"What the Makuta kinda Toa is that?" The second toa just smilies and then kicks the first Toa right in the foot. The first toa lets out a yelp and says "OUCH MY TOE.....AHHHH"
I want to apologize to any of the guys (or gals) that run this joint. I seem to be accidently breaking a few rules as of late and I'm sorry
