Never driven one myself, but I have heard how bad they are on the road. That's true for most trucks really. As for my favorite SUV: The Lamborghini LM002. That thing is a beast. My favorite truck would have to be the F150 Raptor as well. They remind me of trophy trucks. Speaking of Top Gear, do you prefer the American or British version? Personally I prefer the British version.

I have driven it in Forza 4, and its quite enjoyable. Its not very fast, but it handles very well. I did modify it to get about 700 horsepower , but it kinda ruined it.) I dream of someday driving one or even owning one. They only made 502 of them, none of which were imported to the US. As a result of the limited production numbers, they are rather expensive, and extremely difficult to find. I did find one for sale in France for $55,000 once. (VERY cheap for an Evo II) Fun Fact : The last two Evo IIs out of the 502 made were painted in Astral Silver, rather than the usual "blauschwarz" blue/black color. My second favorite car, as my username implies, is the Mazda (MX5) Miata! I have a 1991 red Miata, so thats why its my second favorite. If anyone is wondering what really cheap two seater sports car to buy, you can't beat the fun you'll get out of a Miata. And BTW only people that don't know much about cars think the Miata is a chick car. Just putting that out there before anyone makes that inevitable comment. Its for driving enthusiasts, because although slow, it handles like nothing else on the road.

That would be a good poll for this topic. Ok then so what is everybody's favorite car? I would have to say mine is the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II. Its not the prettiest car in the world, but I have been enamored by it since I was 9 years old for whatever reason. Pic:

I'm really into cars and racing, and I'm quite sure there are a lot of you out there who are gear heads (or petrol heads as they call it in the UK), so I decided to start a topic about cars. So let's get discussing! Hopefully this will soon become popular enough to gain official status!

What was your first Kanohi mask?
Art Vandelay replied to Art Vandelay's topic in Bionicle Discussion
It only came in black with Inika Nuparu. -
What was your first Kanohi mask?
Art Vandelay replied to Art Vandelay's topic in Bionicle Discussion
I should change this topic to first set then... I thought that was just too mainstream. Never mind, I can't edit the topic. -
How much for the VMKK?
-
Title says it all. Mine was a blue Kaukau Nuva that I got from Gali Nuva, which was also my first set.
-
I thought that everyone knew this. I guess not everyone was as interested in the Kanoka as I was. The Great Disks have a full circle power level indicator. I had the Le-Metru great disk (code 589), but I lost it. It was my most prized (Bionicle) possession! EDIT: I FOUND IT!!!!

Thanks Tazakk! Those galleries were actually the exact ones I was looking for. I was asking about this because I just bought a ton of prototypes. I'll post some pictures when I receive them. If only he was selling some of his more rare stuff! I am trying to slowly build a collection like that. These prototypes I just bought are a good start, I guess!

I proposed this idea to an guy named Mario Rossi who is an extremely talented animator who makes 3D Bionicle animations. They look like Ghost made em! You really have to see it to believe it. I told him that he could model Bionicle masks or other parts, and then 3D print the models in any color. Then he could sell them. This would be great for MOCs. (I'm thinking Sand Tarakava with the yellow Ruru ) I haven't heard back from him yet, but it would be awesome if he started doing that.
-
Does anyone on here have any prototype Kanohi from 2001? I would love to see some pictures if you do, especially if they are one of the six original Great Kanohi.
-
Wow, I can't believe he upped the price from $12,000 to $15,000! He already was going to have trouble selling his collection, but now...
-
I think it's been mentioned before, but those were suppose to be rahi parts from the first game. Those rooms were never finished, and those parts were in there. Those rooms were intended to be in the original game, but they decided not to include them. Instead of taking them out and having to extensively modify the scenes, they made them inaccessible and covered their entrances with doors. This worked out good for Nuparu77, as it was easy to modify the game to regain access to these locations. There are several other huts in the game that Nuparu77 found that could be modified to gain access to them.

There is a lot of 20 TNGMs for sale on eBay right now. Sorry, I don't have a link.

How would you rate your Knowledge?
Art Vandelay replied to Van Hohenheim's topic in Bionicle Discussion
I'm honestly not trying to brag, but i am about a to . I spend way too much time educating myself on the mythology of Bionicle. For a while, the default font on my computer was Matoran! Its not to easy on your eyes because every character is within a circle. -
That's because you beat me to it :PMata in Spanish is "he kills". Darn! I thought of Soh Cah Toa immediately when I heard this! Haha. I have seen a lot of Bionicle words in Latin, as many of you have mentioned. I guess Lego thought it was a good idea to use Latin words after they got sued by the Maori people, since there aren't any Latin speaking people to sue them! When I first heard of Rapa Nui, I thought it was a Maorian island, but I was surprised to see it was Easter Island's real name. Its funny how Rapa Nui would fit pretty well in the Bionicle storyline. (If you're not familiar with the history of the island, Wikipedia it. Its actually very interesting.)
-
This is really spectacular! The level of detail you put it to this and your Toa Ignika MOC which I also saw is tremendous! I'm really liking the use of customized parts, especially that Ignika. I'll need to try that with some of my MOCs. Will any of your creations be at BrickFair Virginia this August? BTW I would love to see a custom sculpted AA Gali Nuva Mask!
-
Now that you mention that, I think I remember seeing the answer now. Thanks for reminding me. That's good that Mata Nui didn't kill the Ignika's spirit after "Toa" Ignika gave up its body to save Mata Nui!
-
Hi Greg, When you return, I would really like to know what happened to the Ignika's conscience now that Mata Nui has gone dormant in it. Can two beings live inside the Ignika at one time, or is the Ignika's "spirit" dead? Also, is it possible that if the Red Star were to be repaired, could it be modified to work everyone now on Spherus Magna? Thanks so much for your time, MX5

I was trying to access the BZPower forurm archive, and it worked up until I actually selected a topic, then nothing showed up. This also happened when I was trying to view the Set Database. I don't know if anyone else has noticed this yet, so I figured I'd let you guys know.

There is no better game ever created than the first MNOLG, in my opinion. It was what made me love Bionicle. I grew up playing the second one as well, and I love it too, but it is flawed in comparison to MNOLG I. Nuparu77's MNOLG: The Bohrok Swarms is a very worthy successor to MNOLG I, and honestly I enjoy it more than MNOLG II already.
-
I love Bionicle almost entirely for the storyline as well. I didn't dislike the storyline of either movie at all. What I'm saying is I believe that the elemental powers and Kanohi powers are a key part of the storyline, and they should have been incorporated more into the movies. I thought the best use of elemental power in MoL was when Gali healed Tahu after the Rahkshi poison had overtaken him. This is the kind of elemental power usage I thought should have been used more often in both movies. But then again, I can't really think of a better way to explain the elemental powers and mask powers than they did without using narration, which would not have been good.

When was the last time you opened a Bioncle set?
Art Vandelay replied to GeluNumber1's topic in Bionicle Discussion
The last one I opened up was a NIB Tarakava I got from eBay. I will soon be opening up the 6 McToran when I get an extra set for opening. (I have an incomplete sealed set) I was at a Rite-Aid the day Bionicle ended, and the only set they had there was Mata Nui. I didn't get it however, because I already had one.
