Hi there all! I am looking for a handful of Series 1 Mixels that I still need to complete my collection, however they are proving to be rather allusive at a fair price. Therefore, I turn to the people of BZPower in the hopes that I could work out a few trades or transactions. Listed below are the sets I want and the sets I would be willing to trade for. I will not be paying anymore than £5 for each Mixel, plus some postage. For the consideration of postal fees, I live in Hampshire, England. SETS I WANT: 41053: Krader41054: Seismo41055: Shuff41057: Zaptor41058: VolectroSETS FOR TRADE: Agents8631: Jetpack PursuitAqua Raiders7770: Deep Sea Treasure Hunter7771: Angler Ambush7773: Tiger Shark AttackAtlantis7977: Seabed Strider7985: City of Atlantis8056: Monster Crab Clash8057: Wreck Raider8075: Neptune CarrierKnights Kingdom8791: Sir Danju8794: Sir Santis8796: King MathiasGames3841: Minotaurus3845: Shave A SheepIndiana Jones7621: Indiana Jones and the Lost Tomb7623: Temple Escape7624: Jungle Duel7682: Shanghai ChaseLegends of Chima30250: Ewar's Acro FighterPharaoh's Quest30090: Desert Glider30091: Desert RoverPirates of the Caribbean30130: Mini Black Pearl30131: Jack Sparrow's BoatPower Miners8956: Stone Chopper8958: Granite Grinder8959: Claw DiggerRacers8648: Buzz SawGalaxy Squad30231: Space InsectoidStar Wars7913: Clone Trooper Battle Pack7914: Mandalorian Battle Pack75034: Death Star TroopersTechnic8238: Dueling Dragsters8415: Dump Truck8418: Mini Loader8436: TruckI also have a complete Hero Factory collection, all mainstream sets and 40116: Hero Robot, which I would also trade. Any trades must, obviously, be between two sets of items of roughly equivalent retail value, but I would consider other offers. Thank you for your consideration, ~Xetra

As mentioned earlier, the Hero Factory sets for the coming year bear a striking resemblance to Pacific Rim (Also of note is the name Invasion from Below, in Pacific Rim the aliens arrived from under the ocean) but this doesn't seem all too bad to me, after all the sets look rather impressive and the Hero Minifigs look rather well made, so I'm looking forward to it. On a side note, it also seems to be akin to Exo-Force, which I personally liked quite a lot so I'm doubly happy about this new wave! ~Xetra

Well then, it looks like it's finally, officially, coming to an end. I personally doubt that Bionicle will ever make a return, not as sets at least. Perhaps we can hold on to the hope that one day Greg will find the time to restore the story and at the very least, wrap up the serials and tie up some loose ends. But until that day comes, I guess it's one final farewell to the largest part of my childhood. ~Xetra

You know what would be really funny? If this actually happened and, in their excitement, the team posted this without checking the date and know no one believes them. ~Xetra

Hello everyone, If you somehow stumbled upon this topic without first noticing the actual thing, then I would greatly appreciate it if you were to head over and read Pokémon: Eye to Eye before returning here and dropping some feedback bombs on me. ~Xetra

Hello all, This is what I hope will become my first successful writing project, which I started for one simple reason: To Nay-Say the Nay-Sayers. By this I mean that most of the people I know consider me to be 'childish' for taking a keen interest in the things I do, when in fact I see beyond the age rating and cheesy one liners of Pokémon and Bionicle, and look at the potential they contain for the older audiences. Thus, I began this, the first in what I plan to be a trilogy of Pokémon novels which are aimed for my age-group (around 16 years old). I hope you enjoy reading these, and if you do, please, drop me a note in the review topic with any feedback and constructive criticism you have. ~Xetra Prologue The sun shone harshly upon the crater with beams of light reflecting off shattered iron supports, littering the area with points of intense sun light. Lying amongst the wreckage was a young man, his dying body being scorched by the unbearable heat of the limitless desert. Groaning, he reached up with one arm, the other lying limp at his side, grasping at the stone pillar to his right and dropping his body against the hard, uneven surface. From the corner of his closing eye, he spotted another man, far older than himself, yet gleaming with life and youth, striding through the seemingly eternal wasteland. He was in far better shape than the younger man, his composure and straight back displaying the immense feeling of success that coursed through his body. Looking at the dying boy, he let a grin spread across his face as the wind blew his long brown coat out behind him. The young man pushed against the rock behind him, his mind telling him to fight against the pain, but his body refused to comply, collapsing forwards onto the searing metal. The grown man walked forwards confidently, stepping over destroyed girders and pushing away sheets of dense metal as if they were nothing more than leaves on a tree. Before the two could meet, the metal to his side shook, grabbing the older man’s attention. He looked down a slope of steel to what was probably another dying person, evident by the hand showing above a steel plate. In what the young man could only assume was a response, the grin faded from the man’s face. He raised his palm and turned away, his smile returning upon hearing the sound of the other man being blasted back into the rubble by the glowing blue beam which emanated from his hand. Before long, the presence of the powerful man was undeniable and when he knew he was noticed, the tall man removed his coat and threw it to the ground. As the boy’s attention diverted to the coat, he heard the man crouch down beside him as he reached out, grabbing his chin and forcefully turning his head so they were staring at each other, eye to eye. Sighing, the tall man dropped his head, letting it fall back to the ground as he stood and walked towards the cliff nearby, dropping his hands into his black trouser pockets. Forcing his body to fight the willingness to close his eyes and end it all, the dying boy muttered what may well be his last few words. “You’re so sure of your victory,” He groaned, each word taking out the energy he would need to stay alive, “That you would overlook the obvious.” At the end, he screamed as a surge of pain shot through his body, followed by the realisation that planted firmly on his left shoulder was the heavy boot of the older man. “Stop playing games boy!” He shouted violently at the half dead man at his feet, “I have won! It’s over!” He removed his foot from his shoulder and used his other to role the limp body over, forcing his eyes to point directly at the burning sun high above. Using as much energy as he could, the boy rolled his head to the side and uttered one last sentence. “You built that thing yourself, right?” The older man smirked, almost impressed by his resilience. “So tell me. Amongst all that steel and iron, where did the stone fit in?” In time with his words, the stone pillar he had rested on mere minutes ago, alongside another one lying further down the hill swung up into the air, standing upright between the two men. “Oh.” ~Xetra

Hmm, this is indeed interesting. I wonder how long it will be before they reach me here in the UK. ~Xetra
