  1. When I originally saw the BW female PC, I made the Aliens gesture and said "America.". The new rival is an even better Silver than Silver. If they extended his collar he could have looked like a legit criminal/assassin.
  2. The score was awesome. Like as if the erhu was made just for that score
  3. Here you can post game center requests, and combos to breed rare dragons. By the way my game center name is serperior1234
  4. Title says it all. For me, it would be air, because, green is my favorite color, and I always thought it would be cool to have a Sky-Scythe that would fold out wings like in Avatar.
  5. Have the first 2 episodes on my iPod. We could not have asked for the personality of a better Avatar. After seeing it, I instantly wanted to become an air-bending pro-bender, even if it wouldn't be canon
  6. I remember back when that commercial was viral, CN spoofed it with a Dracula puppet with a voiceover describing The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure.
  7. That tan mech was the Excavation Searcher. One of the sets I kinda regret missing out on. I mean, it's a four-legged mech with aliens and hovercrafts!
  8. Agents was a good theme. But before drifting off, I'll say the one reason it fizzled was the fact that the last wave focused on a generic city. In my mind, it was weird as to why Dr. Inferno would focus all his resources on this one city while in the first wave he was spreading his message and his minions to all corners of the globe.
  9. I miss this progressiveness the early 2000s brought. Now every Lego theme today except friends is just conflict, conflict, conflict. Yet a good story requires conflict.
  10. One of my favorite all time themes, honestly. My favorite part was the golden city saga, when they introduced all those ball-and socket joint bricks, which certainly made things a lot easier.Although I easily knew things were starting to falter when I saw all the "human" drawings of the human minifigs, which were completely different from past years. I wish they brought it back, maybe even steal Ninjago's spotlight. Cause seriously, what would you rather see, ninjas driving around in cars and spinning while beating up snake people, or oriental-style mechs whose pilots have martial arts skills fighting a plague of robots that have turned against them?
  11. So the bowler hat guy has a robot leg now? Didn't think to look at the Toy Fair pics more closelyMars Mission Alien Commanders... one of the best non-minifig aliens Lego has ever made. Period.
  12. Are the Monster Fighters really named? Kinda makes you wonder what kind of name they're gonna give to that female minifig with the arrow in her hair. Pardon this really bad joke: She used to be a monster fighter, but then she took an arrow to the hair
  13. I see where you're getting at, but when I mean "blank faces", I was talking about stuff like Mars Mission, Space Police (although this one I'd probably let it slide because doing bios on a whole police force would be draining). For some reason I'm kinda seeing Monster Fighters to be one of those "blank face" themes, but then again I might be proven wrong. In retrospect, a lot of the Mars Mission stuff was better (That huge limited edition 6-wheeled drill tank being displayed on top of one of my cupboards), but I really hated the stiffness of the new martians compared to the old martians.I also kind of miss those visors that would cover more of the helmet, which in this day and age are essentially nonexistent . Space fans in the 90s would probably know what I'm talking about.
  14. Back in 2001, I was little. Little enough to get, see, and want Bionicle, but little that I thought Tahu was a girl just because his mask was shaped the way it was. Back then, they had these little separate booklets other than the instructions that housed what other lines would be selling at the same point in time the set it was packaged with would come out. I would see the Life On Mars promo pages. I would often think to myself it was pretty strange, because there was no straightforward fighting, which brings me to my first point. LoM never introduced major conflict like other themes. While there were things like rebels, they were never clearly introduced as much as say, skeletons in Ninjago were. Both humans and martians seemed to be just there to give kids a choice, in retrospect, between playing intrepid human explorers or martians mining and riding that tube system that was used in the martian base set. Despite the fact that some say conflict brings out the worst in children, it did sell, and Bionicle, which was heavily conflict and story oriented, lasted for almost 10 years. Second is that each character wasn't a blank face as they are in most action themes today. Each character on each side had name. I also found it inventive how the Martians' names would be the names of stars. Thirdly, instead of the here-are-two-sides-they-will-fight-for-one-year-or-so LoM got a weekly radio log accompanied by a mini-game. Each log would tell a chapter of the story, which in turn painted a fantastical version of Mars complete with underground cities and castles. To be honest, I still think of LoM as more progressive than a lot of themes that had potential, like World Racers or Pharaoh's Quest.Credit to the maker of Biodium Vault for helping me rediscover this lost theme and for inspiring me to work on my on LoM story as well.
  15. @Takava, KEEP. Jolly would give axew (into haxorus if you're gonna use it out of little cup) a much needed speed boost, and Mold Breaker + Lum Berry/Choice Band can give you an awesome sweep to pick off stuff like Will-O-Wisp Weezing.

  16. I agree. What was one of the major parts of the whole Avatar franchise (In my opinion) were the Asian influences, such as the sharp curves of Fire Nation architecture, clothing and robes shared by people from all four nations, even to the Earth King's bear's hat and shirt. Don't get me wrong or anything, but they could easily do better than the actors they cast. If I remember correctly, Dev Patel didn't even have the scar the real Zuko had, and Azula (who was that one girl we all loved to hate in the series) was instead his father's personal suck-up. Also, if some die-hard fans like me remember, each element had certain motions affiliated with them, like how Earth had fists and Fire, had sharp, two fingered jabs."Koizilla" was also one of my favorite parts of the original series. I don't think Noah Wringer (the actor who played Aang, or Ong in the movie's case) ever got another job in Hollywood again.
  17. I don't play Minecraft, but some of the pics on the lego minecraft page look pretty cool
  18. I agree with RC-1505. The story did have its course, although it wouldn't hurt to do what avatar is doing, passing the mantle down to new characters while keeping the most of the mechanics the same.
  19. I Don't really know how I could hide the new Lego, considering we live in apartment and I don't have a lot of storage space in my room.
  20. I did see that Malcolm in the Middle episode (and Dewey called Tahu "Zoltan") once after a scout troop meeting I put up the bs01 podcast on my iPod and this one other guy was like "you like Bionicle?" but he wasn't a ##### about asking. I was the only Bionicle fan in my elementary school, and this one girl I was arguing with cursed Bionicle.
  21. Dotcom's reply, to me, is pretty sound. Although I might also just resort to buying online.
  22. Call me crazy, but I saw toxic reapa at my local target, and that was the set I wanted to get.I also kind of fear what my parents would think when they would see me with a HF baggie, of all things
  23. So, it was my birthday recently, and for the occasion, I got some money. However, I kind of wanted to get some Lego, but I feel I am a little old for it. Any ways to cope with it?
  24. I forgot, but I think it was either Tahu, Lewa, or Pohatu Mata, and back then I thought Tahu and Lewa were girls XD
  25. When I looked for the new podcast on the Bzpower page on iTunes, I didn't see it. Should it already be up up there?
