The mold is undoubtedly a Hau. What I was doubting is the idea that it's transparent orange. Unless there's anything saying it is, all we have to go on is a small image that may not be as clear as we think. And I don't see that as enough to merit a headline saying it's a trans-orange mask. If the lightning was off on the picture and that was the cause of it looking that way (which honestly sounds too unprofessional for something LEGO would do), the dark blue Skull Spider likely wouldn't look perfectly alright either.

You can see the vents on the sides of the mask. Looks like you can get it with any purchase.

They were even there when I checked earlier today if these had been removed as well. Well, that's quite a lot released ahead of time.

It's not just you. That's odd, looks like these were released ahead of time as well. I don't know if someone else has re-uploaded them somewhere on YouTube, you could check.

Which means that these were indeed released by mistake. Oh well, that's too bad.

Same here, that was quite nice.

You've read my thoughts.

Maybe it's time to get a new phone if yours' most important input method doesn't even work correctly anymore...

Here's hoping it will arrive to Windows 10 as well and not just Android and iOS.

Happy birthday! Have some chocolate cake.

The speed in which the game plays is entirely unrelated to the speed of your internet connection, it only depends on the frame rate your processor is capable of running the game in. I voted MNOG because I consider it brilliant and almost a piece of art but I'm also a big fan of MNOG II. Its major shortcoming is the lack of story (and the strange ending) and that some of the villages don't feel as immersive as in MNOG but I really loved the crystal temples. I never found Kolhii that annoying - if anything, it's the wastelands. VNOG is fine but never compelling enough for me to play it a second time. I may do it one day, though.

It's said (although somewhat hidden) on BIONICLE.com that the Skull Spiders can control the mind of the person whose face they attach on. Hopefully we'll see that in at least one episode.

I think it's safe to say the reference section part of BZPower is dead and won't return in any foreseeable future.

Huge, huge congratulations, Roa! It's so cool to have a BZPower member be the winner! I hope you'll show us plenty of pictures when you get your trophy.

made less erroneous. No? The episodes are not being aired in real time. It is being said in the beginning of the episode that the Toa and Protectors traveled for weeks.

He doesn't look like a real leader because he isn't a leader at all yet. However, I'm sure we will see Tahu mature to fill in that role. Everyone starts out somewhere. Agreed. The animations look gorgeous but the narrator is quite annoying and over the top sometimes.

Actually, I'd say elemental themes started out with Slizers for LEGO. I wouldn't, just because ones like "Turbo" and "Jet" don't really represent discrete and fundamental elements the way that Bionicle's or Ninjago's elements did. Just because some characters have elemental powers or varied themes doesn't mean that the elements are a focus, or that they follow any discernable pattern or formula other than "fire and ice powers are cool". Okay, let's agree they were a precursor to the elemental themes then. ^^

So when is the last time Apple has blatantly lied about anything in a way that made them stood out from any other tech company? A documentary recently aired on BBC one showed they were lying about worker treatment and that that they were vastly overpricing the iphone. Apple employs other companies to produce the devices they designed. I can't recall Apple explicitly lying about working conditions are their manufacturing partners besides restating the reassurances of those third parties regarding the treatment of their work forces. What they did do, apparently, is that they promised they'd take better care of worker conditions after the, at that point, latest reveals of bad working conditions and the documentary shows that Apple has failed to deliver on that promise. Of course I'm not trying to excuse deplorable working conditions but most major tech companies contract Foxconn or other factories for their products, so the problem isn't exclusive to Apple. Then again, not having actually watched the documentary, I can't judge the issue as well as I probably should. It is true that the iPhone has a very big profit margin but there is nothing wrong with that per se as long as people have a choice, which they have. As long as people are willing to pay the price Apple is in their right to demand high prices. If anyone doesn't agree with the prices Apple asks for their products, they are free to buy hardware from Samsung, HTC, Sony, LG, Microsoft or whoever else. Before anyone makes any assumptions, I don't use any Apple products but frankly, all major tech companies have done something that sucked at one point or another. And of course, criticizing tech companies for the wrong things they do is perfectly alright. But what I see all the time is that people who use and enjoy the products from a certain company (some people may refer to them as "fanboys") tend to unilaterally hate against competing tech giants and spread rumors and fallacies about them. I'm not accusing you of doing that but frankly the attitude I've just described and that I see all the time is quite annoying. It's hard to have a neutral and fair discussion that way. I'm not sure what you are talking about with the keyboard Look at the Windows keyboard that you're probably using right now. Two keys above Enter is a Backspace key, which allows you to delete the character before the cursor (i.e. what you just typed). On a Mac keyboard, that would be called Delete. The problem is, delete is commonly used to a key that deletes characters in front of the cursor, instead of behind. So your Mac has two Delete keys, and mixing them up is fun. Not. The second thing is to look at the lower left hand corner, where you'll see Ctrl, Windows Logo, and Alt. On a Mac, that's Control, Option, and Command. You need to press the Command key to do most of the Ctrl + options that a Windows PC would normally allow, and it's two keys in and with the wrong name. I can't count the number of times that I've hit the "Control" key and expected it to behave like the Ctrl key. Let's say, just for the purposes of analog, Hasbro/Mattel is Windows. If Lego were Apple in this analog, they would be producing products that are more confusing, harder to operate, and inefficient. You can argue that Lego requires more effort to play with with the building and stuff, but it's still effective for what it needs to be. Apple, not so much. My keyboard here has both a backspace and a delete key, as most Windows keyboards actually do (and I use both of them with no problem). Contrast that with the MacBook Air from my father that I'm holding here which only has a backspace key, as most if not all MacBooks and Mac keyboards actually do. Honestly I still don't know what you're talking about. There is no "wrong name", Apple just chose to move some functions of the CTRL key under Windows to the CMD key for reasons I don't know. CTRL and CMD are still two different keys and not two keys with the wrong name or something. It's just different than on Windows but there is nothing wrong with that. I don't want to argue about this but "more confusing" and "harder to operate" aren't things I've ever heard being said for Apple products. If anything that's something I hear about Windows and having used both Windows and OS X, I agree Windows probably requires more learning to master it than OS X - though from my experience Windows is also more powerful. Not universally, but at many things.

So when is the last time Apple has blatantly lied about anything in a way that made them stood out from any other tech company? I'm not sure what you are talking about with the keyboard but to answer your question, some people choose to hate Apple because "applez are copycats and ios sucks and android is soo much better and cheaper" just as some people choose to hate Microsoft because "M$ is restrictive, expensive and Windoez and IE are the worst things in the world and tiles suck" or Google because "googlez steals all your data and sells is to the highest bidder, also android phonez are laggy and suck". But honestly, I think we should leave all the irrational fanboy hate against other tech companies out of BZPower, there is enough of it on other places on the Internet. Let's just agree all tech companies have done and do bad things and good, some are better at some things than others but they all have things they are good at. Let's talk about LEGO, which is what this topic and place is about after all.

I think the presentation went well, but unfortunately I couldn't recognize any fan reactions.

I went with Nuurakh in the end. Thanks for all your feedback!

Considering the step from 40k to 50k took almost seven years I doubt it's happening anytime soon.

Thank you for bringing it to my attention. Lewa vs Onua is easily one of my favorite animations Templar has ever done but would someone unfamiliar with BIONICLE really know what's going on?

I guess I should have mentioned this; I don't really want to spend my time decompiling and recompiling Flash files so I would like to use one of the animations in its entirety and not just a short snippet of it. Thank you for your feedback, though!
