  1. I meant technical improvements, not violations. ahh, but that wasn't clear...anyway i would make the forums look more like the old ones
  2. very cool. is it possible to get some size comparison pics with say a hero?
  3. make certain sites allowed to be mentioned....
  4. this is my first attempt at a female moc. im well aware of most of your feelings toward using the nuva armor that way, i coulnt find anything else. and the arms need some work.it took quite a bit of work, and making it stay together was qite a chore. the colors are bad, i know.but overall i think i did a decent job, considering my sparse part collectionup closerear viewand a comparison with breezi have made inprovements, and.i will post them asap
  5. wow gali didn't get much love...i picked because in 2001 there was no gold, and because she was different.
  6. Yeah, yeah, I know... Space and I are freaks of nature.And, yes, I did like stuff like Bionicle, but I was always wishing that it was more... girl-friendly. I wished that more of my friends could like it instead of Bratz. And since I've been told so many times that it's too hard to make something appeal to both genders equally without jeopardising sales, I would like to see something on par with Bionicle, story and set-wise, that could reach a female audience. I think people like Space and I are proof that it could work, if it was done well.Sure, maybe one or two of the characters could have pink on them, but I'd actually like to see a range of colours and styles. After all, contrary to popular belief, girls can be just as diverse personality-wise as boys.Heh no kidding.... (sigh) (the last part)Anyway.... my sister likes pink, but she isn't (terribly) girly.And I'm pretty sure that when she was little she probably played with my stuff. But she still liked dolls.So pink dosnt equate to girly.
  7. I do agree somewhat. It would be nice if more toys were percieved as gender neutral, but, in the world we currently live in, boys' and girls' toys are heavily segregated, and Lego's gotta do what they gotta do in order to make money. I remember that last year I suggested here that Lego could make Bionicle more gender-neutral by adding more female characters, and the response was overwhelmingly negative- and that was just the older fanbase talking! One thing that may help solve the problem of boys being ridiculed for liking something "girly", is an improvement in the quality of products aimed at girls, so that "feminine" is no longer synonomous with "lame". Maybe then, after a few years, it will be possible to make toys that appeal to both genders, when boys are no longer deterred by girls liking it, and vice versa.If you look at the friends sets, many of the girls are shown doing stereotypical things, such as cooking or horse riding, but there is one character who apparently likes to build robots in her spare time. I think the message that toys for girls need to start conveying is that there are many different ways to be a girl, all of them equally valid, and that you don't need to fit into the "shopping and makeup" mold.Incidentally, I'm now trying to pitch an idea for a Bionicle-equivalent for girls on Lego Cuusoo. I'd be interested to know what you guys thought of it.I get the marketing standpoint, If you want your bussiness to thrive you need to appeal to as many groups as possible (by bringing the age range down... yeah....) but its what has to be done to accomplish that.i think you have a good idea, making more female charecters would make it appeal to a bigger crowed without making it girly.For the record back in 01 gali was my favorite
  8. I've got some... ah... strong oppinions on stuff like this.I don't really like the fact that toys a re gender based.For one, if a girl in the Target age group liked hf, would she be made fun of? Maybe, but not as much as a 5-10 year old boy would for liking this. But why? Personally, I think its because that's what society encourages, fit in a stupid little mold, and if you don't, you become an outcast... somebody everyone picks on.And I know what that feels like. (Not that I like "girl" toys, but I certainly don't fit in that stupid mold.)
  9. world end-apocalypse-leaving earththe final countdown, by Europe
  10. cool. i think the colors could be improved on, but the desighn is nice. and good use of the hero factory pieces.
  11. i use my hero factory cans for storage, especially for 1.0.or if i build a model to store the extra pieces, if i keep it intact for any length of time.i don't keep the boxes
  12. $18!?That's more than double a hero...Might grab the green lantern, but Batman is.... yeah. And the joker dosnt look great
  13. i never tried it... games like this dont appeal too me. not only would i have to by the game, i would have to keep paying for it....nope, not gonna happen.
