talk about whats been going o
Well, thanks to the birthday money I recently recieved I am now a premier member and thus have a spiffy new blog to paly with. This make's my third or forth blog but I've never really had a blog where I really thought I could talk about bionicle or many of my other toy time thoughts. So mostly this blog will be about bionicle, but if I occasionaly start talking about Optimus Prime or why Robot Chicken is the best show ever, I hope you will understand...
I'll do a true new blog soon, but righ
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?"

I GOT A NEW LAPTOP!!! But the keyboard is a little different so if my writing is a little messy please bear with me till I get used to it.
I just got finished watching LoMN and thought of something, where's the vahi? Last time I checked Tahu Nuva had it, and isn't Tahu's mask hanging on a wall in the Piraka stronghold? So while the Piraka are off fighting the Inika there is a mask that is nearly as powerfull, if not as powerfull, as the Mask of Life they want so much hanging in their li
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
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
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
So now onto my next crazy theory, the Great Spirit Mata Nui himself.
I have a theory that seems to come more from Transformers then Bionicle...but it might work.
Mata Nui's body is literally the world under the great sea. Think of it kinda like Unicron or actually Primus from Transformers.
That is why the island of Voya Nui had to be returned to help revive him, it was part of him, thats why the Staff had ot be used to repair the world, to repair Mata Nui. That is why the core needed to
It's time for one of my theories..so sit back, relax, and enjoy the crazy.
It's actually an idea I had a long time ago, but due to recent evidence it just seems to get more and more true.
I'm just going to go ahead and say it, that way you wont have to read.
The Great Beings are people. Like you and me.
Now for those of you still here I'll try and clarify it.
When the mystery of the Great Beings first came about it more or less just hit me. What would be the perfect creator of the
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
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
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
Well apperently the blog I made yesterday didnt get through, basically it was a rant about the new sets being the horribly deformed offspring of a rahkshi and a visorak. But I will never complain again about a bionicle set ( ok at least not fot a while, not after I saw this....

Now transformers are number 2 in my heart after bionicle, if it wasnt for them I wouldn't like bionicle. So to see some crazy movie execs ge
I keep having this itching fear about the future of Bionicle. I remeber Greg saying that they needed to come out with a new set of toa every year, since they sell the best, but this leads to a problem when you have one set of Toa that are suppose to be the main characters. I forsee a repeating pattern of the Toa Nuva going to a new island in search for Mata-Nui, then they find other toa (or make new one's as the case this year, but we have to run out of Mata Nui matoran to transform after a whil
WAAAHH!!!! I've seen some crazy fuzzy pics of the Mahri..basically just enuff to make out names...WAAAHH!!! The descriptions sound good though, just when I thought I might get out of bionicle, they pull me back in!!
Please do not misuse the Spoiler Tags.

EDIT: Sorry, figured with all the stuff going around about the pics I should put them in tags.
EDIT...AGAIN: OK so I've seen cleaner picks...and they look scarier than the Barraki...in a bad way. And what happened to the bl
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
Spoilers for stuff here, and a rant or two...so you might want to stop reading now.
So now that BZP has ran the story about the Mahri names I think I can talk about them comfortably.
I am not amused.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «I've said it before and I'll say it again, I saw it coming. I knew they would change, I just didnt want them to. The point of having a character change is to allow that character to still be an important part of the story so we can get t
Dude, I just realized that the Mask of light spinner thing goes in the opposite direction as the other masks, and I think every 5th spin of Vakama's mask is faster....
Two matoran walk up to a protodermis pub. One says to the other "Hey what happened to your mask?", the other matoran answers back "I got attacked by a rahi". The first matoran answers back "And here I thought you were just ugly"
Even on Metru Nui I get no respect, I walk up to a vahki and say "hey look, I'm J walking". The
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
I just started auditions for the new BZPowercast (though currently looking for a new name) that I've been talking about.
Go HERE, read the rules and be sure to send in your sound clips so we can get this thing going, I wouldn't be able to do it without you.
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
Well now that BZP has released the pics for the some of the new sets I feel free to talk about them.
I'm just going to be talking about the new titans here, I never really cared much for the construction sets.
Aright lets start with Maxilos & Spinaz. I like this set alot. From what I've seen of Maxilos he looks well designed and is probably the only set where I think that new rocket launcher thing actually works. Plus we get Spinaz who is about as complicated as a toa, but the parts
You know what would make a great birthday present for BZP? an RSS feed for the main page for the news section.
For those of you that don't know, an RSS feed is a little function that allows you to quickly load news stories from websites without loading the entire site.
So Bink, get on that.
I mean....please ol great and honorable Binkmeister grant one of your humble disciples a small request on this most happy of times....please
Actually now that I think of it I have no idea how
