    A Changing World

    By Rookie,

    Bionicle canister set prices are going up, by roughly £1. This is getting annoying, but its a changing world. Lego have to raise up prices, I suppose because of the recent oil demand. Lego have compensated a bit, by adding more pieces and more creative design, as opposed to those old clone sets.
     
    But still, everybody wants oil nowadays. One day it will run out, and what resource will we use to make plastic, thus making Lego pieces, thus making bionicle pieces? Now thats something to think about.

    Toy Story 3

    By Rookie,

    Saw it today, and it's officially the best film ever made by Pixar, and by extension the best Disny film evar. IMO
     
    In terms of Lego, I need to buy more TS sets. I only have the two promos that came with the Mirror from last week and the Army men battlepack. I seriously need to get Lotso's truck, RC set and Pizza Plant truck before the end of the year.
     

    » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «The ending was very emotional, but I was manly enough to resist crying. It also shows a full cycle - the toys get a new owner when Andy grows up, so when she grows up, they'll probably get another owner.  
    There was also a SW reference - the baby doll grabs Lotso and dumps him into the dumpster, which is very similar to Vader throwing Palpatine into the Death Star core. Nice touch.
     
    What made really laugh was the cymbal monkey - it had bloodshot eyes and looked very creepy...but it was funny. I also liked the aliens a lot, wish they mad more lines, quite cool how they end up saving everyone with their almighty fabled claw.
     
    Rex, Chunk, Stretch and Twitch need to find a way in my collection, nao. Twitch could be used to create a Tritovore minifig.

    I think it's going to be the best serial of the year. I really like the direction where the story is going.
     
    But the death of Karzahni was unexpected, he was one of my favourite sets back in the day. Oh well, he was reduced to a walking vegetable thanks to old Terry, so I'd rather he be dead than walking around saying stupidly crazy things like "I have to feed my pet rock now, see you in two clicks rofl lol".
     
    I can imagine this turning into CSI Spherus Magna, starring Kopaka and Pohatu.
     
    Pohatu: Karzahni was killed by that Toa of Air, Lesovikk. But we can't track him
     
    Kopaka: Looks like he has us totally blown away.
     
    YEAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    I entered BS01 contest 5, so I thought I'd make a note here (huge success).
     
    The Toa Trap
     
    I think it's a cool title, and it works. If only Admiral Ackbar was there to warn our friendly gravitic Toa.
     
    Varian sounds like a feminine name to me, so I decided to make fun of that fact at the end.
     
    I was also tempted to make up a new Dark Hunter and mask, but I fought down that temptation and smited it. Looking at the other entries, people were creating their own masks and characters. I didn't see the point in doing so myself in the end because there are plenty of pre-existing Dark Hunters and unused masks that have yet to properly appear in the canon.
     
    One working title I had was 'A Fistful of Widgets', but I wrote out the part where Varian demands a lot of money, so I scrapped that title.

    Just listened to a preview of 'The Catalyst', which is going to be on LP's new album this year. Yawn.
     
    I really didn't like it. LP were cool all those years ago, but started to go downhill with the release of 'Minutes to Midnight' (there were some good songs on that album though). If the rest of the album is like that song, it isn't worth getting IMO.
     
    On the bright side, just downloaded 'Asylum' from Disturbed's website, and it is immense. I'm hyped for the album now.
     
    And I'm due to see Toy Story 3 this week. Excited for that.

    Future Doctor Who

    By Rookie,

    This may not be relevant to Bionicle, but I have tonnes of speculation for Doctor Who in the future. It says there will be no full series next year, only specials. After that, in 2010, there will be a full fifth series. And I have reason to believe the Ice Warriors will return then, perhaps in the finale. Its a pattern, you see.
     
    -Series 1 brought back the Daleks and the Autons.
    -Series 2 brought back the Cybermen.
    -Series 3 brougnt back the Master and Macra.
    -Series 4 brought back Davros and the Sontarans.
     
    It also seems that recently two classic monsters have returned. So next time it may be the Ice Warriors and something else... heres a guess; the Yeti.
