  1. Well, they're robots so they have no reporductory purposes. so romance is almost impossible

    Except for the fact that romance and a need or ability to reproduce are two different concepts that can exist independently of each other.That said, I think Bionicle could've definitely used a little more romance. I didn't pay much attention to Jaller and Hahli's relationship, but Macku's and Hewkii's in MNOG was pretty cute.The entire story could've just used a little more love in general between characters.
  2. Oh hey, apparently Dante Basco (the actor that played Rufio) is reading Homestuck.That's kind of amazing.

    Ahaha I was just about to post about this right as you did.I can't wait 'til he gets to the part where Hussie kisses his corpse. Or until he gets to the part where he sees there's an actual character based on him (speaking, of course, of the Summoner).
  3. Guys I just noticed thoughApparently that's a newer Thornax launcher mold?What's up with that

    The ones from the Winter wave aren't Thornax launchers either. It's a shorter piece that's missing the second connection point.
    Well it's close enough that I think it'd fit under the "Thornax launcher" umbrella.But Aho I think that's a prototype version, since the winter wave has them too and they don't line up with the top pieces.
    I'm pretty sure a couple of the sets weren't properly assembled, hence the misalignment.
    I don't think the winter wave sets have the O-hole on the end though like these ones do though.EDIT: Ahaha never mind I didn't see Aanchir's post My bad!
  4. proceeds to throw wallet away because there is no way money will make it inside once these come outNex: Kinda boring. Wish the helmet wasn't just a single-mold Glatorian-compatible version of his original, but what can you do? The system harpoon is pretty cool and I love the laser.XT4: Also kinda boring. Unsure how to feel about the head since it's essentially a smaller version of Meltdown's. Not enough yellow. Glad to see that saw piece and an orange antenna in a smaller set, though.Stringer: This is the part where I start hyperventilating. New speaker armour? Tans-blue chest armour with sound waves coming from his core? Silver versions of the new launcher piece and the 2.0 shield? I'm a little dismayed that they gave him a colour scheme at the complete opposite end of the colour wheel here (they could've at least kept his orange eyes u_u) but I think it's worth it.Core Hunter: Another cool set. The black helmet is wicked awesome and I'm glad to see Lego finally made a black 2.0 shield as well.Bulk: Eh, not really one of my favourites. I like the armour on his shins (and that they're finally making orange armour in more lengths) though.Voltix: what. This guy actually deeply intrigues me for reasons I can't fully comprehend. Will definitely buy (mainly for those new smaller lightning pieces on his helmet there), especially if they keep this whacked-out colour scheme. I just wish the handles on the smaller lightning pieces weren't oriented so weirdly, because holding your weapon at a perpetual 45° angle just doesn't seem very efficient.Stormer: Haha his hero core looks so ridiculously tiny on that oversized chest of his. I'll likely only buy him for those new foot pieces.Speeda Demon: And this is the part where I die because this is my favourite one. I just wish they had made a new helmet for him too (thee different colours of one helmet in one year? I think you've set a new record for yourself, Lego), but aside from that I can tell this is another definite buy.

  5. Are you still interested in Lego? I still enjoy it, but I have other hobbies too.What parts of BZPower do you enjoy the most? Chatting and blogs.What should BZP become? Obviously retain emphasis on constraction lines, but definitely expand its horizons to System and other themes.

    Bionicle may be banned

    wat

    You don't see them discussing Wolfenstein, Bio Menace and Duke Nukem; it's still a Commander Keen-only forum.

    Yeah, and how big is the site? It's probably nowhere near the size nor does it have the familiarity among its fanbase as BZPower does among the Lego fanbase, nor do they have the connections to the company that made the game it's based on that BZP does to Lego. It's an entirely different ballpark here.Just because one site is able to flourish on one subject does not mean it's the norm and it certainly does not mean a site of BZPower's size and fame is able to do it.
  6. Oooohh ice ice ice!It's a theme that was never really hit on in Bionicle (aside from places like Ko-Koro and Ko-Metru), or even Slizers (who only had Ski and his world) or Roboriders (who only had Frost and his realm). Sure they had ice characters and locales, but they were no more frequent than any other element, and certainly less so than many other elements.Underwater themes in general are a genre that has already become oversaturated in recent years, what with Atlantis (2010/2011), Bionicle (2007), Aquaraiders (2007), Aquazone (1995-1999), and probably others that have slipped my mind.Ice, on the other hand, has only really shined in Ice Planet 2002 (1993/1994), Arctic (2000), and Alpha Team: Mission Deep Freeze (2004/2005), and never in any Technic-based theme.So yes, let's give water themes a break and explore the tundra again!

  7. I don't think so, since the forum software automatically resizes it.You could always try uploading a pic that's less than 90x90 though.
