  1. Well, looks like Hero Factory caught the projectile disease. I guess it would have to happen eventually, but I still don't like it.

    7147-1.jpg Anyway, I love this new wave and I love love LOVE that they're going back to Glatorian heads, it makes using Rocka's and Evo's helmets for other things SO much better. I'll definitely be picking up at least Rocka and Thornraxx for sure.
  2. There's an option to toggle these options on/off right above the bold button. BBCode mode doesn't allow you to use buttons format your post (requiring you to type in the formatting by hand), while Rich Text mode has those options available. As for allowing/disallowing emoticons, hit "More Reply Options" under the post entry area.

  3. Breez: First off, glad to see 1.0 helmets in reuse. Swords look cool, armour looks solid. Good round core. Interesting new Thornax launcher. Not sure how I feel about the System rockets on the feet or the 1.0 foot on the back. Evo: Intriguing new helmet, not font of asymmetry though. Also interesting that he also has a white core (in fact they all seem to). Hopefully that's just a sticker on his chest armour. Not sure how I feel about the bulky right arm yet. Furno: The turbines are interesting. Not fond of the arms, would definitely do something about them. Glad to see Thornax launcher in new colours. Translucent piece, while looking cool, seems kinda silly here, since it's the only part in that colour here. Also, Hewkii Inika chains on the handcuffs? Yes please! Rocka: Oh sweet lord, that helmet is beautiful, as is the crossbow-like launcher. Also, is that a trans-neon-green Thornax launcher? Because if so, that is some serious do want. Surge: Looking pretty thin there, junior. Glad to see a return of his 1.0 weapon in a new colour. That's all I have for this dude. Black Phantom: Not fond of the build. As pointed out, too Firelord-like. Black/green sword on the end of the staff is cool though, would definitely grab for that. Jawblade: Seems too Fangz-y. Lot of fin parts so I might pick it up for those. Hopefully those 1.0 Furno weapons are actually red and not orange, because that'd be cool. Splitface: Kinda boring tbh. Having a split theme is pretty cool though. Thornraxx: Silly name, too Bionicle-y. Nice to see a cool wasp character again, though. Gorast wings make this an instant buy, and I'm interested to see what colour those sockets are (since I'm convinced at this time that they're bringing back teal). Toxic Reapa: Man that's a dumb name. Love the black/trans-green, but idk. Something about this is kinda off-putting. So yeah. Definitely picking up Rocka and Thornraxx at least, and maybe getting Black Phantom for that sword.

  4. @Tom: Sadly I don't have any tubes of this length in any colour aside from trans-light-blue and silver. Also, yeah the sides coming up with the back is pretty cool - it almost acts like doors or something - but I'd still at least try out making them not come up with the back if I could. XP

    Got cheese slopes?
    None in any colour that would look good here, unfortunately.
  5. @Rarity: The second one was mostly sand red and the newest one is still mostly tan with some dark red highlights. None of them have had dark red as the main colour as far as I remember. @Tom: Sadly I don't have any tubes of this length in any colour aside from trans-light-blue and silver. Also, yeah the sides coming up with the back is pretty cool - it almost acts like doors or something - but I'd still at least try out making them not come up with the back if I could. XP

  6. Improvement-wise, I think I'd prefer it if the sides didn't lift up with the trunk area, and secondarily if the front wasn't Forum Mentor blue. Those really are minor qualms, though.

    I'd also love it if the sides didn't come up, but I don't have the resources to really do anything about that. As for the blue, I intended for those to be headlights of some sort? It gets pretty dark on Tatooine, y'know.
  7. Wow, only the second day back and already I'm posting a MOC. Couldn't get this sort of speed before the downtime, folks! That said, I decided to make a sandspeeder during the downtime.

    There's really not much to tell here? I've always wanted a sandspeeder actually large enough to do anything with (since my only sandspeeder set is the original from 1999), but never had the funds for a newer one nor the resources to MOC one.Until Flying Mummy Attack, that is. Which is why this is dark red and not accurate at all in the slightest to the one in the movies! emot-v.gifAlso, it has four seats because I have always wanted to make a vehicle large enough to hold four people, and two secret compartments because I never bothered filling out the front one when I finally managed to get the proper one on the back.Comments, constructive criticisms, and sums of cash in increments of $50 USD are, as always, accepted and appreciated.

  8. Hello everyone this is the new MSPA topic. For those not in the know, MSPA (short for MS Paint Adventures) is a site that, as of writing this topic, includes four webcomics:

    • Jail Break - the first of the stories, this was never completed. You are a prisoner and well, have to break out of jail.
    • Bard Quest - the second of stories, this was also never completed. You are a bard and, with the help of your sidekicks, have been assigned by the king to slay a dragon.
    • Problem Sleuth - the third story and first one completed. You are a hard-boiled private investigator and, with the help of two other private eyes, must fight against the Mobster Kingpin to escape your office building.
    • Homestuck - the fourth and longest-running story, as well as second completed. It's the story of four kids (and a load of other characters) who become part of a video game to save the universe from the near-indestructible Lord English.

    This is the place to discuss these stories, theories about them or the characters, headcanons, what have you. Do keep it civilized, and please keep the leetspeak to a minimum. Thanks!
