As noted in my last entry (HAPPY 2008!!), I'll allow myself to buy only three sets next year (WOO!!).
So, of all the sets of 2008 we have seen thus far (PARTEY!!), which would YOU recommend?

Just HAD to share this piece of genius -- it's from Heir's Nuva Redesigned topic, and it's just... no, better look for yourself.
If that's an accurate representation of the BIONICLE fanbase of today, I just lost all faith in it.

I need to cure myself from immense Bioholism and get on with life.
Thus, I'll allow myself to buy only three LEGO sets in total this year. B)
Problem is, the Av-Matoran are 50 DKK -- $10 -- here, each.
What to do?
Happy 2008!!

... no, this entry is not noobish.
On long, dark, chilly nights, what's a better escape than to write yourself into another world?! Here's a bit of a preview --

Lhikan jumped quickly across the rooftops, no sound audible in the light-ridden district. Each time a great gap between buildings came he dug his sword into the metallic surface of the roof and swung onto the next structure. Darting through the wide streets below would have been easier, but comfort was no priority of his at the moment. The shadows were ali
I have to do a 5-minutes' presentation in school tomorrow, about a subject -- anything -- related to the English-speaking world, and I'm kinda stuck.
Any ideas?

Good day.
It's a sad thing, but there's really no need to cover it in long, eloquent paragraphs. Right on to it: Lego hardly excites me anymore.
The quality of the sets is in top for the most part, I'm sure, but I've discovered that whenever I buy a new set, I quickly get bored with it. Add to that the fact that it, as well as my time online, takes up most of my day, and you'll see that I would probably be better off with a healthy break. Not completely abandoning Lego or BZP, and I may fi
Today, Ikki's Isle brings you an exclusively hosted entry regarding Bionicle, life, and all those big things -- brought to you by your friendly neighbourhood TILIUS!
This message was partially inspired by this topic. But being a 'Bioholic', as it is so innocently put, is in reality a major issue for some members, and you could be one of these members without realizing. Also, before I begin, I should point out that this is not a flaming of members or anything of the sort. It's intended to
Monday night, things could have changed forever, had it not been for the intervening of skill, heroism, and luck. A bombing had been planned at the very subway station -- and nearby -- which lies only a few hundred yards from my school. I dare not think of the possible consequences.
It puts matters into perspective hearing of such things. There is only so much time, and it only goes forward. And I intent to fully live through that time.
And yet here we are, a lot of us, complaining about c
Just some general ramblin's o' life...
Good discussion goin' on in a few blogs these days!
David Arkenstone is the best guy for fantasy music, Bionicle 2001-style even.
The 1999 version of Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth is the best movie ever made.
2008 looks like the most epic year of Bionicle yet. That does not means it looks like the best one, however.
The Answer really is 42.
Girls are the greatest and most benefiting challenge on this great Earth.
I do not understand why LEGO went back to the Kal Concept recently. And I do not understand why it's working either, or why suddenly people are so fond of it.
Please, I need this cleared up.

Whenever uncertain, in panic, or just quite depressed, think like Zaphod Beeblebrox. Have fun. Take it easy. Challenge yourself! Let go of what binds you! Do exactly what you want most!
Be free! An' don't tell me you didn't enjoy it.

Is it just me, or has there been a lot of cynicism and dry comments lately on BZP? I'm not referencing anyone in particular, just a general observation.
-Ikk
Just tryin' to get a general idea here, for possible future sale --
How much would you guys be willing to pay for a mint, Golden Kanoka, with storage case?
Also, how 'bout a VMKK Ja & Ca?

So, S@H Denmark has Vikings sets on sale, an' I'm thinking of ordering the Army & Wagon, Boat VS Wyvern, as well as two extra Castle Crossbow attacks for supplies. In short, that's give me, MiniFig-wise --
9 Vikings, 6 different torsos, meaning one of each kind produced.
2 knights, 2 archers, two white skellies
2 skellie horses
In total, that'd be roughly $60, shipping included. Problem is, I just spent 'bout $70 on the Art of Bone book, an' if I want to save some money for future li
Just a small preview of my writings, on this the day before school! There are some people there whom I just yearn to see 'gain!

Takua steered the boat carefully through the calm, winding stream of murky water. All around the narrow flow large, rugged plants grew and small insects buzzed lazily on the shore. The water itself was perfectly still except for the shadow of a small fish being seen occasionally somewhere below, or bobbing its head just above the surface. Far above the boat, t
My download of the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy Audiobook got stuck at 42%.
School begins this Tuesday.
Things to do --
--Get on with my writing.
--Write up a blog entry on the latest events and my whereabouts in general life.
--Find a good party and get terribly drunk.

So, with me floating peacefully in the sweet stream of holidays, I thought I'd better get some writing done. Specifically a story that takes place on Mata Nui. Already got a bit planned... an' plannin' still...
Suggestions, anyone?
Whack
