    As Kaze stepped through the portal, he had a feeling something was wrong. Everyone who was from the right dimension had quickly followed him, but seconds later Kaze found out why he felt something was wrong, as an explosion rocked the portal that was sending the group back to their true dimension. As a side-effect of the explosion, too, Kaze lost consciousness. When he awoke, he found himself lying on his back in the middle of no-where.
    Why does everything have to happen in the middle of nowhere? Kaze thought, as he sat up and rubbed his head to look around. He found himself feet away from what looked to him to be a warehouse, and also saw that there was grass all around, along with sand.
    Great. From a place that's totally cold to a desert. Just great. Kaze thought with a sigh, as he got up, and saw three people running from the warehouse.
    "There he is! One of those Ki-shooting freaks that Neo told us about!" The one in the middle yelled out, as they pulled out Chaos Hunter standard Laser guns.
    Well this definitely is my right dimension, the Chaos Hunters aren't on our side. But, how'd they know it was me? Kaze thought, as he grabbed the chainblade off his back and got into a battle stance. Kaze thought about using his Armour, but shrugged off that thought as they were just grunts, and nothing to use it against. Kaze ran at the three Hunters, and slashed at them, who jumped back and let off some shots, which Kaze leaned back to try and dodge, and sent two Ki blasts at the left and right Hunters, knocking out the one of the right and injuring the one of the left, though he just kept shooting at Kaze. Kaze decided to run at the remaining two Chaos Hunters, and slashed twice at the two, each hit with the flat side of the sword, and knocked them back, and unconscious.
    "Whew, that was hard..." Kaze said to himself, as he saw someone else walk up and draw a sword.
    "Blade Hikari I presume?" The new guy asked, and Kaze got into a battle position again.
    "What's it to you if I am?" Kaze asked, and the guy smirked.
    "If you are... You're going to die before my hands."

    Well, in the span of a few months, I've gotten a fair share of Bio sets.
     
    Let's go in order.
     
    Lewa Phantoka - He's awesome =D His Chainblade, mask, and color is good, though you could get tired of the bley.
     
    Mutran & Vican - More lime, and black's introduced, but I finally have a Matoran I could Moderator to be an av-toran(All I have to do is switch the feet for a better one, and really that's good, since I'm not really in a position to have limegreen eyes...)
     
    Pohatu Phantoka - Yay =D His orange is sparse, but very nice. I wish his mask had've been full head, but now I essentially have a Vahi!
     
    Kopaka Phantoka - Awesome. His Bayonet is very cool(Pardon the pun), and his mask is nice as well. He's the only one without a visor for the Phantoa though.
     
    Toa Ignika - My first encounter of the Piraka Torso kind. The torso is pretty cool, though those characters are usually shorter than those that have Inika torsos, because you can't adjust where the Torso connects to without heavy changes. His mask is cool too =D
     
    Onua Mistika - Woot, Onua's very cool. Though I've already got his feet twice(Jaller Mahri and Pohatu), this is the first in Black, and are very cool. Plus, I can see his battering ram Nynrah attachment coming in handy for stuff. And his shield's pretty cool. Plus, the piece that keeps his head from wobbling is very nice. And contrary to popular belief, to me, you CAN in fact see his eyes while looking at the front of the mask.
     
    Gali Mistika - Gali isn't half as bad as every keeps saying. She's got a good mask, her mask fins being pretty ingenious, and silver Inika legs are fine with me. Plus, the feet jets are cool too. Though, I wish the Set Designers had've made the shoulder armour more like the Inika Shoulder Armour, because it wobbles. A lot. Not that much of a problem, just the noise when she's moving though I don't like the setup for her head, but it's nothing a little MOCing can't fix, and is a step in a better direction(Though Onua's was better =P)
     
    Krika - He's surprisingly big for how many pieces he has. His blade's are awesome, and his white pieces that have red in them are trans white. The rumours about not being able to stand with only three legs are true, but most people wouldn't be worried about that, except for the people who pose their sets. His head is interesting, and has a black metru arm for a neck, so that's cool. His torso has a white version of Onua's chest armour, which is pretty good, and did I mention his blades are awesome?
     
    Gorast - First of all, Limegreen and Black are very cool. Anyway, she comes with two of the claw pieces Takanuva uses for his hands, in silver still though. Her mask is fully rubber, which was surprising to me. The new claw pieces she uses for her feet are interesting, and so is the set-up of her body. I think the wings could've been done a little better to have articulation though, but meh. Her head kinda sticks out pretty far unless it's at an angle, where it looks pretty good, so I keep it there mostly, unless I'm doing a pose which she looks good to have her head out, like hissing. Anyway, moving on to the final set I've got...
     
    Tahu Mistika - The Ninja strikes in the Swamp! Tahu actully looks pretty cool, and has a red version of Kopaka's feet, which is good since I only had only pair, Kopaka's. His Spinning Blade Shield is pretty cool, though I've found you should mount the shield on one of the stud holders on the side instead of where the instructions say, spins better there. As for the mask... As all the Toa Mistika and Toa Ignika had, Tahu has an insertable stud rod for a mouth attacher. Mostly it stays on the mask, though sometimes it stays in the person who is wearing the mask's mouth, which can look pretty comical. Anyway, Tahu's jets look pretty cool, and I've found they can be slightly modified with some of the pieces attaching it to point in front of Tahu, meaning he looks right when on his front and flying, though I think the air pushes downward through the jets, instead of the other way. I mean, it'd explain how the OTHER Mistika don't fly towards the swamp, seeing as Onua's jet faces downwards, and when Gali has her feet in a swimming pose, the Jets face that way too. Moving on, the Nynrah Ghostblaster is cool. Does always fire far, but unless the rocket's pushed in too far, it DOES fire. Tahu ALSO has those Gorast claws, and silver Piraka legs, which is cool, plus metru arm armour, which is pretty cool for me, plus he has one of those tri connectors. Also, as with almost all the Toa sets this year, he has an Inika Shoulder Armour piece for Solek to connect to, but I haven't tried that, since all I have is my deteriorating Av-Matoran MOC, and Vican.
     
    Anyway, that's a sum up of my sets I got recently, ... Plus a kinda mini-review =P

    Just got premier-ship, donated I guess from someone unknown. Thank you, you unknown rangerhero! =D
     
    So... Yeah, I got PM-ship =) ... I just don't know when I got it, nor how long it's for =P

    *To Omi* You are awesome. *To everyone* Actually, what I said to Omi pretty much sums him up.
    Also, congrats on getting FFIV =D
     
    ... Ok, there's more. ... I'd guess you're an awesome DJ since you're an awesome person, and you play such awesome games. And I'll also take a guess that you're an awesome Pokemon Trainer, and I'd really like to battle with you sometime

    He's fun. Not as active as, say, Bfa, or Cholie, but still fun. And very cool to be around. Not to mention that he's SOO awesome! Give a round of applause to Neya Darkaea! =D
     
    Off topic: I AM A PIE-OBSESSED NOOB AND I'M PROUD OF IT! !!!!!!1!!! XD

    Just as I thought it was going alright
    I find out I'm wrong when I thought I was right
    It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
     
    I could say day, you'd say night
    Tell me it's black, when I know that it's white
    It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
     
    Well I could leave but I won't go
    Though my heart might tell me so
    I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
    But why does it always seem to be
    Me looking at you, you looking at me
    It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
     
    Turning me on, turning me off
    Making me feel like I want too much
    Living with you's just putting me through it all of the time!
     
    Running around, staying out all night
    Taking it all instead of taking one bite
    Living with you's just putting me through it all of the time
     
    Well I could leave but I won't go
    It'd be easier I know
    I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
    But why does it always seem to be
    Me looking at you, you looking at me
    It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
     
    But I love you, more than I wanted to
    There's no point in trying to pretend
    There's been no-one
    Who makes me feel like you do
    Say we'll be together 'til the end
     
    I could leave but I won't go
    It'd be easier I know
    I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
    But why does it always seem to be
    Me looking at you, you looking at me
    It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
     
    Running around, staying out all night
    Taking it all, instead of taking one bite
    Living with you's just putting me through it all of the time
     
    It's just as I thought, it was going alright
    Found out I'm wrong, thought I was right
    It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
    It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
    It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all...
     
    Come on.
     
    It's always the same(Always the same)
    It's just a shame(Just a shame)
    *Repeat until fade*
     
    That is awesome =D

    Been wanting to feature this for a while.
     
    Ok, by now everyone knows that Exo-Force is ending, correct? Ok. It's Lego's ONLY current giant mech theme. Got that so far? It had a bad year last year. With me so far? They decide to get rid of it just because of that, even though it had great mech designs in 2008. Wait, what?
     
    Yeah, that's why Lego's ending the series, because of poor sales in 2007.
     
    Ok, put this into perspective, in 2006 we had:
     
    26 comics, give or take a few
    Quite a few awesome mechs.
    It was the first year.
    It had light-up bricks, which had use.
    It had interactive stuff online(Though, I must say, other than in the comic department, 2007 ruled there).
     
    2007 had:
     
    Around 12, if that, comics.
    Skeletal, but still cool, mechs.
    It was the second year, the feeling of it being new had worn off a bit... But still managed to draw in a few people.
    It had Code Bricks, which weren't as functional as Light Bricks, and tried; but failed miserably; to make it up in weapons that had functions, but most of those were launchers...
    It had tons of interactive stuff online, including 6+ games online.
     
    So, 2007 WAS a decline, but brought in new fans, such as myself. And there was interactive stuff to do, like input code-bricks, or play games, online, but not enough story stuff, and what was there was rushed. So of course there was a decline in sets being bought, because there wasn't enough GOOD storyline.
     
    In 2008 however, we had mechs that had seats. BUT; it wasn't even 2008, rather around October or so 2007, when we found the first hints of something awry with Exo-Force. A book featuring Chameleon Hunter on it's cover was cancelled. Then, codes went wrong when the site was updated and the mechs were released. Then, shortly afterwards, we find out about Exo-Force being cancelled. Still with me...?
     
    Ok, so 2007 didn't do well, but, why was that...? Was it because of the lack of online content, the set designs, a combination of both...?I understand they couldn't keep it up if it wasn't gaining profits, and that it has a SLIGHT possibility of POSSIBLY coming back in the future... But why not take a step back and try to figure out what was wrong with the sets? I mean, though the current sets aren't AS good as late '06(I blame the lack of articulation and hands ), they ARE a step up... And if they made something like an Exo-Force video game like they did with Bionicle many times, maybe it'd be more advertised and such...
     
    Of coruse, these are all wishes upon wishes, slivers of hope that don't even have a chance of happening I've accepted this fact for quite a while now, and just let it slwoly die, trying to make a more traditional mech design... But seeing as I've wanted to blog about this for quite some time, I couldn't pass up a chance to just say what I wanted to say then. I want you to know now, that I have no intention of flaming ANYONE, I'm just suggesting to the past, why couldn't they have just tried to improve on the comics or sets or something...? Ah well, what's done is done... We may; or may not; see one of our favorite(And only ) Lego Mech series back in the future... All we can do is hope
     
     
    Also, offtopic but, I just noticed that all the entries that have comments have 2 comments in them

    "OOF!" Kaze yelled out, landing in soft snow. The 13-year old boy stood up, and looked around. The surrounding area was full of the white snow, which confused him, seeing as just a little while ago, it was the middle of July. Kaze shook his head, and stood up, almost reaching the top of the not ruined fence because of the snow. Kaze walked around, the Armour's metal covering him from the cold snow that reached up to almost his knees. Kaze put the sword that was in his hands back on his back, and walked to the backyard, where he was met with a puzzling sight; an almost pristine condition back-yard.
    "What is going on here...?" He thought, with a confused look on his face, as he backed up, and tumbled down a snow bank into the neighbouring house's back yard. The snow seemed to be lower than the other back-yard's, but there was a snow pile reaching up to bridge the height difference between the two properties, though that was almost all the snow. Still puzzled at the conditions, Kaze walked towards the exit to the current back-yard, and when he got through it, he saw a girl, who walked over to him, and smiled.
    "Hello, who are you?" The girl said, and though Kaze thought he remembered her from somewhere, he couldn't remember from where...
     
    Ok, that's the end of that... Time to speculate on what's going there Remember, if you have the answer, keep it to yourself please

    Yes, 4 or so entries in one day. I'm gonna make use of these perks
     
    Anyway, I might actually get some DoaH stuff up here and make use of that category, as well as giving you a sneak peak at a short-story-epic that'll be like the stories on Lego.Com, as in every so often I'll write up a new one(Probably keeping it as a draft in here until I post it ), and will feature something interesting... Not many people know what it's about yet, but it'll be interesting to say the least.
  10. Blessed Blade
    Those are the two games that have been in my DS for the last few days Star Force 2's ending is pretty interesting...
     
     
     
     
    I've been playing Battle Network 5, to see if it really is harder than Star Force... Here's my verdict: If you're used to Star Force: Load up on long-range chips
  11. Blessed Blade
    I've gotta say, these premier perks are preeeettty nice. I've been actually wanting to remake this blog for a while now, since I made this when I first started BZP(Yes, I joined during Extended Premier Perks last year ), and finally got the chance. Anyway, more soon in other categories...
