    Ok, Seriously.

    By -Mata-,

    I should have been some kind of psychic! Ya see, you got to read on.......................
     
    When I was reading about Roodaka and her Mutation Spinner, I thought, hey? Isn't there a story about how Nidhiki got mutated? So I posted a topic that said Roodaka mutated Nidhiki. And guess what happened?
     
    People completely killed my theory, saying that, "Roodaka was only introduced this year, how in any way could she have known Nidhiki?" And then like 4-5 months later, it turns out that I was right!
     
    I wonder if anything like this happened to you? Hmm?

    New Sets Attack!

    By -Mata-,

    I went to my lego store on Thursday and you wouldn't believe what I saw. I saw Inika, Umbra, all of the new playsets, and Vezon and Fenrakk! If you saw it, you would at least buy all that you saw. No sign of Axonn and Brutaka.
     
    I did manage to buy Jaller and Nuparu though...
     
    Edit: They have Axonn and Brutaka!

    Good News On Inika!

    By -Mata-,

    I just called the lego store here in Georgia, and they said that hopefully they will get their shipment of Inika here on Thursday! So Georgian Bzper's, I'd suggest that you try to do something other than just drool at them.

    Irony has taken me down. In the last few years, the east side of the US has gotten the new sets first. Well now it's the other way around.
     
    I'm still going to review the Glatorian and Agori though...

    Tarduk Review

    By -Mata-,

    With Gresh already been taken, I, the first person to probably own any Glatorian and/or Agori in Georgia, have taken the liberty to review our favorite little, green Agori, Tarduk.
     
    Tarduk
     
    Presentation
    From the design of the box to the instruction manual, these are the first things you see before building the set.
     
    The box is basically the same. Just your average Tanma box, but with a new design on both sides.
     
    Looky, looky senator!
     
    The back shows something completely different than the front.
     
    Over Here!
     
    Building
    Half the fun is had building the set. How fun is it to build and how easy or challenging is it?
     
    Well, I you have any Av-Matoran, specifically Photok, the build is basically the same. Not really worth the time though, you should finish this in 30 seconds to 2 minutes.

    Set Design
    Now that the set is complete, we can critique how it looks from every angle. New or interesting pieces can also be examined here.
     
    Front
    Back
     
    The Mask/Helmet thing:
     
    DA DA DA...
     
    Ok, that piece kinda freaked me out. The CGI showed nothing that said about that piece being humongously huge!
     
    Otherwise, theirs nothing else except the Iron Man head and re-colored parts.
     
    Playability
    The other half of the fun is in playing with the set. How well does the set function and is it enjoyable to play with?

     
    Ok, this guy's great! I mean, in the story he does walk on four legs, but just like Vican, you can make him stand up. Or go monkey-man. It's your choice really.
     
    Yiii!
     
    Hello...
     
    Gresh adds as a really good complement to Tarduk, and they really look good together. Plus no silver!
     
    Final Thoughts
    Once it's all said and done, how does the set stack up? Should I get it?
     
    Pros
    What's to like?
     
    *Great colors
    *New Mask/Helmet and Iron Man head
    *New re-colors for mocists
    *Great design
    *No silver!
     
    Cons
    What's not to like?
     
    *Too expensive
    *Really reminiscent of the Av-Matoran
    *Boring build
     
    Anyway, I think you should wait until discounts, but what the heck? You should get him. You'll really enjoy him...

    Five years ago today, I joined BZP. And today I have achieved the Brutaka Mask! Now with that useless Norik head gone, I can travel between dimensions!
     
    Hey, you know what's weird? I would have had a Hahli mask today, if it wasn't for that computer virus that had me de-registered for a whole year...
     
    But hey, you can't control what could be good or bad for your computer. :wakeup2:

    Snow Day!

    By -Mata-,

    Ok, tomorrow, it's going to snow the ENTIRE afternoon. See what happened is that yesterday, I didn't get to go outside to do...stuff, so I have a second chance.
     
    Plus, I'm going to get Solek and Toa Ignika is coming on Monday.

    Nothing really has happened in the past few days er...months. I wanted to start a little epic about a guy I'm going to post pics next month. Well enjoy!
     
    Guylan's Discovery
     
    The night was very quiet. Not as quiet as usual. Sometimes Guylan would see some Ruki around, or hear the airweed moving around. But not today. Guylan was bit awkward compared to the other Mahri Nui inhabitants. It was how he looked and how he acted. He was always, different. Anyway, he was coming home from his job working to guard Mahri Nui from attack. He would sound the alarm.
     
    He then stopped. Something wasn't right. His red and gold colors glistened as some light stone started approaching toward him. Suddenly there was a pincer around his waist. He turned around only to find Mantax.
     
    "Hello, little one. Why out in the dark I ask? It isn't safe," asked Mantax. His voice was really shallow, as he hasn't talked in a really long time.
     
    "Uhh, just doing some work eh...yeah," he said sounding afraid.
     
    Another creature showed up. It was Kalmah. Mantax put Guylan down as they talked, argued, then talked again. During their conversation, Guylan ran to the nearest cave. His air bubble was shrinking. Luckily, he found one outsde the cave. A few moments later, he saw Kalmah and Mantax running to find him. Guylan stuck to the cave walls. He was tired and he took a nap.
     
    Above the water there was something happening between the Inika and some Dark Hunters. They were fighting over a staff. But not just any staff. It was the staff of energy. It's power is so great that not even an ordinary Toa can use it. It takes a very special Toa to use it. Hahli used her laser harpoon to douse the hunters and Matoro froze them. But prior to being frozen, one of the hunters blasted Matoro, but he missed. Instead the staff got blasted from the hands of Nuparu and flew into the ocean.
     
    Guylan heard a crack from the cave top. He saw a staff heading to the ground. He slowly got up and walked toward it. Little did he know that the rest of the Barraki were on their way there.
     
    TO BE CONTINUED

    I've returned! Ok, you're not that excited.
     
    The cave has been messy and I've been busy so after 7 months, my domain has been found. :wakeup2:
     
    Did I mention I've done stuff in between? You'll see more things now. I'll make sure of it...
