Kaleidoscope Tekulo

Well, it depends if I want to do a review or not. If I get a set and I want to review it before I open it, then I do it bag-by-bag, only I sort out the pieces by color and type neatly to take a picture. It. Takes. So. Long. ... But, it does result in a much easier system for building the set. No going crazy over that one piece that you saw five million times before, but when you need it for something it totally disappears on you...Though, if I'm building it and I'm not planning a review, then I just dump all the contents of every bag into one pile and get-a-building! This method has been used by me since I was a kid. XD

Well.... That was disappointing...

... What about Nidhiki? He got mutated into a giant crab-like freak and then spent a good portion of his life as an outcast in personal turmoil and anguish. That stuff's hilarious. Meh, I digress. I picked Lewa, mainly because of his "matoran marching band" line. XP

Hmm, interesting review. I'm not much of a Ninjago person, though I have been interested in the smaller sets. I'm not really interested in buying a spinner, though. I've considered the booster packs just for the pieces, but I thought it would be a bit of a moot point without an actual spinner. Nice review. It actually helped explain what the booster packs included (and about the cards. I had forgotten about the cards in this series XP).

• Zombies
• OMG, zombies! 8D
• Three functions (Graves, Car hammers and Cauldron flinging. That's actually pretty good for just one set)
• Four quality minifigures
• Dat Car
• Jack McHammer is adorable ^^ (And he has a metal arm... That's pretty bamf)
• New Moonstone (with a zombie arm breaking through the ground. You have to admit that image is pretty bamf).

• The lack of a brains piece. =/
• The Zombie bride cannot fit into the graves because of her dress piece (annoying. =/)
• Hammers... Y U NO SPIN THE WAY I WANT YOU TO?!?!
• The price of this set is rounded up to $40 USD (by one penny. And that's a US penny too. XP. While it isn't cheap, it is also a cool set).

Haha, when I read "200 words" I was worried that was a maximum. I like to ramble... a lot (especially when it comes to things like this). XDI have put up a review in my blog, so maybe I'll put that into a topic (pictures are a bit blurry with that one, though. =/ I could retake some of them, though)

I find its lack of teal pieces disturbing. Also Hahli Inika's mask. Not to mention that Archive Masacre. "What's that, Teridax? You killed them all? Can somebody say PRO-MO-TION!"But the most disturbing? The fact that the Makuta from 08 had more color than the toa nuva! Seriously, that fact just freaks me out. o.o

Tuggles... Tuggles everywhere...I still have no idea if I should say this was the best or worst fad out there, though. I just... I just don't know...

In Botar's case, I don't think it was just about the time limit. His character didn't seem that developed to begin with, so I didn't really shed a tear. I was more like "Okay... so that random generic dude died... big whoop..." Not to mention, why bother replacing him if that type of character was never going to be mentioned ever again? I mean, it makes sense within the universe and all, but why even draw the attention of the reader for that? In that case, why kill him off at all? He/His replacement isn't going to be seen ever again anyway. It's almost like, in the terms of the story, that the guy replacing Botar died along with Botar himself. Seeing as these are fictional characters, I'd say that statement isn't too far off from the truth itself. I think Podu had a larger role than his replacement, quite frankly. XD (And the fans generally like Podu to boot).I just saw absolutely no reason to kill what would soon be a dead character in terms of the story and then replace him. For me, at least, there was no benefit, no emotion and simply nothing interesting from it whatsoever. =/ If you want to kill someone, fine, but at least show him... ugh, I dunno, saving a Muaka kitten from a generic disaster or villain or whatnot. People with souls tend to like that stuff. Instead we just lost a generic Mata Nui drone brainwashing guy that failed to convert Axonn into his brain washing machine. Don't even get me started on the brain dryer. In my opinion, that death was not worth mentioning at all, really. =/

Matoro. He totally could have lived with no serious consequences to the main events of the story at all. Though, I think Botar. His role was pretty much "Do things by the book. The book is law. LAAAAWWW! I am totally powerful and invinci-" and then he died. Only, mind you, to be instantly replaced with yet another drone of Mata Nui's military brainwashing team within the universe. Poor Teridax, trying to liberate the matoran of their tyrant who cared so little for them. (Totally how it happened)While it may have added in the perfect flair of poorly-written drama to the story (not at all as it just poked my annoyance bear until it let out a rawr), it appeared to serve little point. =/Edit: And Katuko already beat me to the punch. XD

Tamaru. I can actually relate to him a bit with his height complex (only my situation is a bit different. XP) He's adorable. ^^ Seriously, I want a plushie of him so I can huggle it at night. =3

I like that small town feel. I feel like every one knows every one.

This. Its like a small town with people from all over the world, I really like that. I have friends (relative term) out of state and out of country, it's awesome. Also, I get chances to talk to people that I normally wouldn't because of age differences (location differences too, as mentioned before). It really helps with that 'learn something new every day' gig.

This topic has the potential to become... quite animated.

Takua/Jaller/Pewku threesome . Although I guess Pewku isn't a Toa... yet...

I need brain bleach. Now.

Vakama and Nokama. Hands down. Nokama was the only one who cared for Vakama in their two main movies. In other words: treated him like he meant something. He's got a shot there.I'd love to see a Lhikan+sane Tuyet couple. Heck, maybe Toa Nidhiki+Tuyet.Really? Kohatu/Popaka?

From the second Bionicle Movie:"Nokama, I see you and me taking a romantic ride.""Hah! And you think Vakama has strange visions."BURN! (It had to be done. XP)

Yeah, I still can't believe my name popped up. XD I feel like I should keep pinching myself in a feeble attempt to wake up from another one of those wacky dreams of mine. XPAnyway, congrats to everyone who won the other prizes! ^^ The trans-green Miru winners have my awe and respect for knowing the answers to that trivia (that includes the other trivia prize winner as well).

THE END IS NIGH! D=-runs for a bomb shelter-Please don't harm me! I shall give you an offering of delicious frosting and cake if you spare me! D= -totally an accurate depiction of how Smeag's birthday brought about the tradition of birthday cakes-XP, Happy Birthday!

Hey guys, not for nothing, but can we just plain stop with this support/disagreement about relationships? There are loads of them out there outside of male love and female love (polygamy, asexuality, celibacy, heterosexuality. you name it). It's perfectly alright to disagree or support any of these. Those are your personal opinions and they are for you to decide and are never meant for anyone else to decide for you.But I will say this: It most certainly is not alright to just go about and throw your causes in these sorts of topics. We are merely supposed to discuss who you like together in the Bionicle story as toa. That's it. I've seen a good portion of topics get closed over things like this, and it's childish and just plain dumb. You guys should know better.Can we please go back to getting on topic now? 'Kay thanks.ANYWAY, I do know about those ships that are all about destroying your ships. XD I remember the whole Makorra fiasco in Avatar. XP Though, I'd say my biggest support is for Hahli and Jaller in terms of toa. They just have so much history and their team has been through a lot together. ^^

Well, I say that Bionicle is the closest- *re-reads first post* ... Oh... Nevermind, then. I voted for Ninjago and City. Ninjago because it does deal with different elements and from what I've seen the plot deals with some twists and turns.Now, I did vote for City as well, and granted there really isn't any plot aside from cops and robbers in some sets, but think about it this way: These sets have a pretty wide variety to them, and not to mention some pretty colorful characters in terms of appearance. I've even named two of my minifigs "Gali" and "Lewa" XP. In City sets, you can build a community. There is law enforcement similar to toa "catching the bad guys" and halting plots. There are many settings including mines, vehicles, large buildings or basically anywhere you can imagine. The civilians could be considered similar to matoran, and if you prefer a toa be a civilian minifig... Well, then use your imagination and have that minifig kick butt with elemental powers! Not to mention the sets also come with animal creatures such as dogs, bears and cats (aka rahi). The mix of everything going on in one theme just reminds me of Bionicle. Their story was filled with an enchanting world, not just Ninjas fighting bad guys, but also civilian life and general settings. That's something that City really brings to life in its own way.

You know, I recently reviewed a friend's story with that pairing on another site. Wasn't bad, actually. Could've used a little more buildup, though, since it's at best a tilt-your-head-and-squint pairing.As for my thoughts on the subject, I'm boring. Probably just the semi-canon Jaller/Hahli and Hewkii/Macku.

I'm gonna rock the boat a bit and say Hahli x Matoro. I liked Hahli and Jaller together when they were Matoran, but Jaller's personality has changed too much in recent years, I think. And Greg seemed to go so far out of his way to avoid any romance implications between those two that they don't even seem to be particularly close as friends any more.Meanwhile, Hahli and Matoro had a lot in common. They both had that struggle with their confidence and weren't sure whether they were fit to be Toa. From what we saw, they worked well together, and Matoro had a degree of warmth and caring about him that Jaller no longer outwardly shows. Hahli also seemed to be the most affected by Matoro's death.

Oh my this topic might generate some "Heated Disscusion" :PAnyways I always thought Takanuva/Takua and Gali would be nice together. To me Takua/Takanuva always looked up to Gali the most of the Nuva and Gali seemed the most caring to him. Not to mention she inspired him to become a hero/Toa back in Karda Nui, and they always had their little mental link xD.

Hmm... I do like Lewa and Onua together. Though, I am an avid shipper of Hewkii/Macku (though, she's not a toa XP) as well as Hahli and Jaller. Also Lesovikk and Nikila (you know... when she was still alive ^^')

New chapter! ^^ I miss when TToTP was separated. XP

Wizard: Oh, once my vision returns you are both DOOMED! And your little TT too!Narrator: Just then the Wizard's eyesight went back to normal... it was a miracle.TP: Shut up!

Take your time, Jalina. =DJalina: Okay... um... let's get out of here first, okay?TP: Agreed. -goes outside--outside-Jalina: Shouldn't we get away or something? I mean, once he gets his eyesight back... if he gets it back... we'd be kind of screwed. Not that we aren't right now...TP: But the narrator already said the wizard got his eyesight back! He's laughing maniacally so I guess that might buy us some time...Narrator: It's true... I don't know what his deal is... No matter how much I yell at him, he just doesn't listen...TT: That's because his ears are full of murder. =3TP: TT!TT: TP! -wraps TP in toilet paper- Hah. Get it? TP. Classic. ^^TP: This isn't the time for that!TT: Then when is the time for that?TP: I dunno... how does next Thursday work?TT: Nah, I've got a meeting with the heroes union then. How about Friday afternoon?TP: Hmm, I'm not sure about that... I think at best we're looking at next week... -continues planning-Jalina: Uh, guys? How about some epic escape or something? Just saying... I wouldn't want my bones broken or something... oh wait, I have no bones anymore D=TT: Maybe if we moved "practicing our hero pose" sessions, we could move this to tomorrow?TP: Are you crazy? Do you have any idea how imperative it is that we attend those classes?!TT: Hmm... you have a point...Narrator: .. I can't take this anymore... And so TT and TP stopped arguing and came up with a cunning escape plan and junk...TP: What if we moved to Metru Nui? I think that could clear up three days next week.TT: But what about all of that packing?TP: You're right...Narrator: O.e What's going on? It's like the characters are going on strike!TT: What about this-Narrator: Sure, just ignore me...TT and TP: Oh, hi Mr. Narrator! 8DNarrator: GAH! D=<Jalina: Okay, slowly, one thing after another1) I have no idea of where this Metru nui should be2) I'm getting a headache from you two3) I'm still stuck in that frighgin cursed armourAND NOW I'LL JUST GO AWAY AND HIDE SOMEWHERE IN THE FOREST. If you wanna follow me, fine.*turns around and walks away*TT and TP: Jalina! Noooooo! -follows-Narrator: What's going on? Hmm... And so candy rained down from the heavens and TT and TP died a horrific death...-nothing happens-Narrator: Okay, seriously, what's going on? O.e -follows Jalina and co.)Jalina: Well then, that's better. ^^-enter forest-Heck, I didn't remeber things to be so dark... I need a torch - oh no where's my jester hat? D=TT: Pfft, I've got this -makes a glowing orb in his left hand that illuminates the area-TP: I still don't know how you do that.Narrator: Maybe it's a sun storm or something interfering with my powers... Yeah, I bet that's it! That's totally it! -twitch- O.e(Poor Mr. Narrator... He's always used to being omnipotent and so when his powers don't work, he doesn't know how to be mortal)Jalina: *phew* at least now we can see something ^^but still... my jester hat... *sob*TT: There's no point in going back for it, so you'd better quit your whining.TP: Well, that's kinda rude... -.-TT: I know! Whining in front of us; ugh, the nerve of some people!Narrator: Am I sick? Is this a disease? D=TP: I was talking about you. =/TT: Pfft, whatever. You take the light -gives shiny orb to TP-TP: But I don't know how this works! -light poofs, and TP hands it to TT again-Narrator: Maybe I died and went to the other place?TT: Ugh, you're useless...TP: And you're a meanie... >>TT: -punches TP over and over- Stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself!Narrator: -looking at TT and TP- ... Yup, this is definitely the other place... -.-

Mmm... Yeah, that pretty much sums up my experience with that game. XD

Ah, I see! So then, they started out with, most likely, a powerless mask as a matoran, which was then turned into a great kanohi. Was that due to their toa powers entering the mask? If so, then it would seem their masks retained a bit of energy; enough for a noble mask to function. Is the energy that resides in the Turaga a part of their toa energy? If so, would it be possible for them to relinquish their powers (I'm not sure why they would, mind you)? Or is their energy not related to their toa energy and just what's remained? Hmm... Is it possible to somehow amplify their powers (say if they were given toa energy again. I know the transition from turaga to toa isn't possible in normal circumstances)? What would happen if a turaga obtained the nui stone?

Puddle versus a sea. Breeze versus a hurricane, icicle versus avalanche, etc.
