Well, not forever, as for I know. They could be back, there's always for this to happen.----- Lord of the Rings -----Titles: Dark Lord, Lord of Mordor, Lord of Gifts, Lord of Barad-Dûr, Lord of the Earth

Frodo Baggins: I can't do this, Sam. Samwise Gamgee: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo; the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end... because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was, when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something. Frodo Baggins: What are we holding on to, Sam? Samwise Gamgee: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for. The Lord of the Ring: The Two Rings Captain John H. Miller: James... earn this. Earn it.Saving Private Ryan----- Lord of the Rings -----Titles: Dark Lord, Lord of Mordor, Lord of Gifts, Lord of Barad-Dûr, Lord of the Earth

Team Curse Review Topic - Chapter 1: A new dawn - He awoke.At first he couldn’t see very well, but soon his eyes got better and he saw a big sandy land. The sky was clear and the sun was shining high in the air, but at the horizon he spotted some dark clouds – they were far, honestly, and not so many to be feared to carry a tempest with them, however he didn’t like them very much, because experiences acquired sometime in the past, a past he seemingly almost lost, told him they wouldn’t just make rain.There were no signs of life around him, just sand and a few stones.Life he had been brought back without a particular reason.The fact is, how could he possibly be back to the living world? He didn’t know that, he just knew he was in some sort of desert.“No way of knowing where to go” he said. “Just what I needed. But let’s not go mad. I should better sum up.”“First, who am I? Second, where am I? Third, why am I here? Fourth, where’s the nearest village? And fifth, is there anyone around here?”“Is that all?”Answered.A voice suddenly came from behind him. As he turned to see who spoke he saw a tall figure standing up near a rock. The mysterious being carried a sword, two throwing knives and a dagger. His armor was red, silver and black and a mantle covered his back. He had never seen him, but he felt like he could rely on that mysterious person.“Is that all? You know, it isn’t so good to have a Toa that came from nowhere just half an hour ago while I was crossing the desert and is now nearly going mad asking himself things. Definitely not anyone's first desire. Perhaps someone’s first nightmare. I’m in the second group, so, I beg you, stop that or I will have to do something bad to your head. If you will agree I could someway help you.”As the character saw the Toa, because the newly reborn person was a Toa, becoming more reasonable, he started speaking.“Good. First, I cannot help you. You’re just a stranger appeared between the sands, for me. Second, you’re on the recently reformed planet of Spherus Magna. Third, I know as much as you do.”That wasn’t enough for the Toa. He still had to know who was he talking to and was about to ask him about when the unknown figure answered his question before knowing it.“I read from your eyes that you’re trying to create a link between my body and a name. Well, I don’t know if you’ve ever heard it. I think you’ve never seen me, too. Now by now I can tell you my name is Aetius. You’ll learn my past in another moment.”Aetius. The Toa had to admit that the warrior was right: he had never heard it. However, he didn’t show fear or doubt when he asked “So, what are we going to do?”.“I think I will take you to the village. And this should answer the fourth. There’s someone that could do the same to the other questions. And I need a weapon for you. At the moment you should stay behind me. Being a Toa will help you, but your powers won’t if you don’t remember how to make ‘em work.”---Aetius started walking heading north. The Toa followed him, having nothing more to do and hoping to find out who or what wanted him alive, hoping to find some old friends, if they still existed, hoping to find a home. There was just hope for him. He didn’t notice the shadow that dug into the sand as they left. Aetius did: instinctively he put his hand on the dagger.

Whoa, man. That's a huge one. They're all good, but three caught my attention:Lhikan ( he's my favorite Toa ), Krekka ( seems really dumb! ) and Hakann ( who looks like a gangsta bully ). Also, Element Lords are very well done. And VNOG ones made me remember how good was that game in my opinion.

- Tahu getting back to Mata form: wasted Nuva power...- Lewa getting lost and trapped in big troubles- the epic fail moment when Teridax has the stars shape like his Kraahkan- Toa Mahri not geting back to Inika form and being stuck in adoration of the Skakdi fusion- how Toa Ignika disappears as fast as he came to the scenes, like of he was a cameo- small sets in 2010: an epic story should have had an epic ending ( 'bout sets, I mean )- another epic fail moment: Vican says he can control the storm ( it was so simple, huh? ), then gets incinerated by the storm itself. Noob end. And he was a Makuta...- Sidorak's total blindness to Roodaka's plans and subsequent death- Miserix ( yeah, just "Miserix": I mean, what did he do of significant importance? And he's been also trapped by a mad GB... )Can't think of another one. Just these ones. But I think they're enough.

LEGO unveils Sydney Opera House
Mare Tranquillitatis replied to Hapori Tohu's topic in BZPower.com News Discussion
Had to be bigger to be really accurate. And it's not worth 40 papers. They've made a step longer than the leg, in my opinion. Very disappointed, the others are way much better.----- Lord of the Rings -----Titles: Dark Lord, Lord of Mordor, Lord of Gifts, Lord of Barad-Dûr, Lord of the Earth -
Really movie-accurate. I simply love how you rendered her hair. It seems so... human. It's totally worth my first 10 out of 10! Very nice job, bro.----- Lord of the Rings -----Titles: Dark Lord, Lord of Mordor, Lord of Gifts, Lord of Barad-Dûr, Lord of the Earth

11 Years Later...where Are You Now?
Mare Tranquillitatis replied to Kan's topic in General Discussion
Well, BIONICLE entered my life since it started. I was 5 at that time and didn't know anything about its story or about English ( and now just watch where I got... getting every time a 9 grade on 10 - so that means about... A- ? -, and being one of the best in my class in English! ). I've grown and learned so much, I've put on glasses ( awww... ), I've read lots of books, then finally found BZP, perhaps the only "social network" I'll visit in my entire life, 'coz I'm very lazy and I cannot follow, in the same time, school, sport, BZP, playing ( Xbox or MOCing, basically ), books and hangin' out with friends. I cannot handle all of them, hope BZP's friends understand this, especially for birthdays... ( btw, I can't remember my real time friends' ones, so... ). Summing up, LEGO and BIONICLE built my entire life, in the past, present and future.----- Lord of the Rings -----Titles: Dark Lord, Lord of Mordor, Lord of Gifts, Lord of Barad-Dûr, Lord of the Earth -

My dear friend, sorry for the delay. I see my help has been very useful and that Darkon is truly one of my friends: he's got many things in common with me... Whatever, you've done an excellent work with these Toas, especially with Gravlix and Ginaku. Hope you could help me in the future with my epics, but the best thing is I contributed in creating something very, very good. Very well done, I can't find the right words to say it.I'm really moved, this means a lot for me, it's an important goal for my BZP life... Your devoted friend, with true happiness and most heartfelt congartulations.----- Lord of the Rings -----Titles: Dark Lord, Lord of Mordor, Lord of Gifts, Lord of Barad-Dûr, Lord of the Earth

Why not a "Lego in real time"? Such as Tahu hanging out with Takanuva and friends, having a pizza, then going to the cinema? Or Gali going shopping with an exhausted Lewa helping her to carry bags and boxes? Or Matoran talking about last week's football match between Patriots and Broncos? Or trying to get out of the global economical crysis? Or stuff like that?----- Lord of the Rings -----Titles: Dark Lord, Lord of Mordor, Lord of Gifts, Lord of Barad-Dûr, Lord of the Earth

New Lord of the Rings Poster Released
Mare Tranquillitatis replied to Hapori Tohu's topic in BZPower.com News Discussion
The Ring possessed her... http://www.bzpower.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/mad.gifAs for the courage you mention to have put this line on ( well, "to be going to put on" ), I think it's the same for Indiana Jones, Superheroes and PotC. They simply don't show it, partially or totally. And, apart from this, you should remember that LotR isn't only fights, it's also a symbolical representation of moral values. So, maybe they are trying to represent the great friendship between the Nine Walkers, the ethernal fight between good and evil ( they haven't won me... ), the force of will of Frodo, the unexpected strength of the Little Folk, the valor of Boromir and so on. Agree. :lol-sign:Whatever, I'm shivering for the waiting!----- Lord of the Rings -----Titles: Dark Lord, Lord of Mordor, Lord of Gifts, Lord of Barad-Dûr, Lord of the Earth -

Set Review: 6218 Splitface
Mare Tranquillitatis replied to Hapori Tohu's topic in BZPower.com News Discussion
This is, for me, the best villain set in the line, 'coz it rocks! He looks awesome, doesn't he? His design is pretty good and innovative, even if its basic structure is like all the others. And, btw, Makuta_of_Oz is right: it's marked as "NEWS" instead of "REVIEW". However, Mordor likes this.----- Lord of the Rings -----Titles: Dark Lord, Lord of Mordor, Lord of Gifts, Lord of Barad-Dûr, Lord of the EarthPlease don't use profanity on the forums. ~ ToM
