oh yeah forgot to mention that thats sad that the new artist is gone.i really liked his art.anyway cudo's to the new one!

Thanks for the info, Greg! I, personally, am kind of glad that we have a new artist. I preferred the older comics' style. Will the comics will be similar to the promo in comic 11?

Hmm...so Stuart is gone for good.

Oh well. His drawings were getting a little too skinny for my liking anyway

Man, I can't wait for '08! The sets look really good.

ETM!

Stuart's styly was...different...but it was very well suited to the Piraka and Barraki, and the new toa, but when I saw Vakama in the last comic (no offence Stuart)...I thought it was pretty strange, seeing a character in two different styles. I am very glad that we will get 16 page comics now instead of 12 pages. It is good to know that the 2009 movie production is running smothly-it must take alot of work to make a CGI movie. The fact that oil prices are headed north means that Bionicle prices are likely to rise soon but mabye there is a more efficient way to make plastic from a cheaper commodity. At any rate, thanks for keeping us in the know!

I agree with ToM, I never liked Stuart's art at all. It seemed sloppy and without much detail, leaving a lot to be desired. The Matoran were like stick figures without any features.

 

Anyway, I'm fine with the price, and the movie news is great.

 

I second that!

I third that!(or whatever...)

I liked Stuart's art style, bu Elliot's was more true to the sets. Too bad they are both gone.

Has Lego ever considered changing to that new corn oil thing?

If you mean ethanol, its chemical structure (I think) prevents plastic from being derrived from it.

petrol (oil) is composed of an arrangement of hydrogen-carbon chains, so is plastic.

ethanol is just a kind of alcohol.

anyways, dang, now I have to wait 4 months for a comic!

I've been wondering, howcome randy elliot quit?

think you can sneak us some spoilers on that movie script

with a bit of all due respect , n.t.d.r.

that is great.

march is the time of my birthday.

hurray

Pity, stuarts style was darker, more sinister than before. He will be missed.

I got out the comic books (yes, I have every issue) and I noticed something interesting. Carlos D'anda pencilled every issue up until the end of 2002, when Randy Elliott took over as artist all the way through 2005. That means that each timeline, sort of, has had its own artist with their own style. Stuart Sayger added a nice chaotic twist to the art style for Jaller's team in '06 and '07, and now the theme will be changing again. I still think issue 1 was the coolest, though.

New artist? Yes. I Very like 01-02 style. But I Hate The Prices because I Live in the Europe and Canisters are 13€ each and it is 15.8 $ and 10 $ is 8.2€.

hey i hope the new artist dostent make the carecters so skinny

I liked the 2001 and 2002 look the best!

That's awsome that they're going to try and have that look!

But I'm just looking forward to seeing the Toa Nuva again!

Lewa was the best, I have his Mata and Nuva versions, now I need his new Nuva version.

"New Nuva"

-Jordboy1

I feel the same about the same way Jordboy1, I also have Lewa in all his forms and can't wait to own his new form. Although I didn't get the 2001-02 comics, I have read them, and I did find them to have the best style.

Has Lego ever considered changing to that new corn oil thing?

Ya, They should change to corn based plastics or whatever they are called...

oh, and did stuart do the Phantoka sneakpeak in the lego magazine?

I will be glad to see something like the old style back and I can't wait for more info about the movie.

-Sisen

It's a shame there are no new comics on Bionicle.com, I liked Stuart's style especially on Voya Nui characters

Im really happy to hear there will be a movie in 09!

too bad about stuart. he drew great bionicles we will miss you!

Why must companies make profits? Is it not enough for them to make out as they did the year before? grrrr

Why must companies make profits? Is it not enough for them to make out as they did the year before? grrrr

You don't seem to get it... profits aren't about making more than you made in the past-- it's about making more than you're paying in the present. And since BIONICLE typically has to spend more each year to pay their growing number of employees across the globe (as well as to pay for new part molds and other materials costs), they have to keep making more money than before. Such is the effect of success.

And believe me, LEGO won't raise prices above a reasonable level. Otherwise, they'd cease to make a profit, since they'd be making products that fewer people would buy. There is an island of stability, and LEGO's trying to find it.

I don't suppose you could give us a little section of the script as a preview? I mean, with the names replaced or something so it wouldn't mess it up...

Man, Greg's so lucky!

I am glad the prices are the same, I am also glad we are going back to the 2001-2002 style comics. To be honest, I didn't like Stuart that much. Oh well, no January comic. I can live with that. One question: the titans will remain $15-20?
