Enjoying our restaurants I see, Tom?

Penny Lane, I´ve noticed, is quite good during take-off.

Did you manage to get by with what you know about Dutch or did you have to resort to French from time to time?

I know you wouldn't have used English since Brussel is overrun with both languages as they are right on the border of Vlaanderen and Wallonië.

No, I mean that since Brussel is right on the border of the two language regions, you could walk into another street and find no one who speaks French anymore. Did you have to use Dutch in some places or could you just use French the whole time?

I thought you'd take the chance to see how much you know of Dutch. I always try to use the native language as much as possible when on a trip and preferrably the one I least understand. Teaches you more.

Sounds fun!

I am quite interested in seeing some of your 'ideas' Just to warn you though, Bitil isn't quite what I expected. His head sticks out far too much and the wings are very awkward. Besides that though, I still kind of like him ^^;

I'm pretty certain Bitil's head isn't supposed to go forward, but rather near-vertical and level with the tilted front of the Av-Matoran torso. Forward gives him a nice vulturelike appearance, but that neither suits his personality nor the insect he is supposed to represent.

With his head as I have described he looks wonderful, despite his incredibly lousy upper limbs. He could use more armor in those areas. A good warning in my eyes is that Bitil's mask cannot be removed easily (note that word; it can be done without stretching the piece any great deal) without removing his eyes. It took a long time to figure this out for certain, and it does in my eyes hurt the mask's qualifications for being such. Granted, Hewkii Mahri's Garai had a similar problem, but at least the eyes stayed in if you kept the head level...

Neither the head being built awkwardly nor the mask attaching to the top rather than front of the face hurt my opinions of any of the Mistika Makuta. After all, the two Makuta we saw prior to this year ("Makuta" and "Ultimate Dume") were just as awkward in those respects. The "Makuta Nui" speaks for itself.

Bitil's wings work well, too. If you overlap them slightly (which is really as much as the part allows), they allow poseability and look rather fabulous, despite making more plain the lack of armor on the upper limbs. You can watch the Mistika video on BIONICLE.com to see this in action.

GRAhtgp cfdng rmv I didn't intend to make this a full review. I'll go before I start listing pro/cons and the like.

No, he was too far away. Schizo's somewhere in Antwerp (the province).

Yah, Europe rocks. I've been in France for a month It is sooo hard going back to U.S. food XD

Well, good for you.

I do wonder what Europe is like. Maybe I'll go there someday.

Did you go Forum Leader/Former boss hunting?

Well I personally think you should get Bitil, even if it is just for the yellow rahkshi limbs. And the head hunched forward hides the thin neck it's resting on.

Sounds like a good time in Belgium.
