I understand and respect your opinion up to a certain extent. However, I urge you not to judge the Mistika too much until you have at least one of them in your hand and have read several reviews. For example, when I first saw Icarax, I thought he was mediocre and I wanted to get him since I was a collector. The biggest thing that bothered me was his hips. I thought they would bulge out and look hideous. When I built him, he looked perfectly fine. So what I'm trying to say is that pictures can be misleading. One thing I'll have to agree with you on Zero Two is the fins and jets. They look a little cluttered but not that bad. I'll probably revamp and modify the Mistika anyways like I did with the Mahri earlier this year. I am not trying to change your opinion. I just want to decrease the bashing the Mistika get. ~SB~

Sure! Hmm... I understand. I was a little nervous about them when I first saw them but now, I've grown up to them. I wonder why the summer sets are always controversial? Since you're Premier and I'm assuming you also have a blog. Why don't you make a bashing club to "rival" mine. ~SB~

Ditto... ~SB~

Sure Toa Roman. ~SB~

All these people are voices of reason, especially Hydraxon Nuva. #1: What we saw were not the ultimately final designs. #2: Yes, they are good in some ways, and bad in others. I like them, but they aren't the best they could be. Doesn't mean I'm gonna make a topic and bash or bash bashing. Because, really, that's all this is, bashing bashing. #3: Yes some people get on my nerves, but what will this do? Start even more arguements. All in all, I won't join, but I will stick up for them when I feel apropriate. Please don't take this as being mean, just stating my two, five, etc. cents. Point taken but please understand this. I am not trying to make people who don't like the Mistika "shut up" or "bash the bashing". When I get my "club" organized and everything, you'll see what I'm really trying to do. I'm trying to stop the Mistika bashing not people saying they don't like them. If you looked at my responses to these people, you might understand what I'm trying to do. Also, I know exactly what you mean and I agree with you four in some cases but this isn't a club where we "bash the bashers". ~SB~

The biggest thing that disgusts me here on BZPower and on other forums is the fact that many people irrationately bash the Mistika and there are very few people around here to keep that in check and argue against them. To counter that, I am starting a club that anybody is welcome to join. Our goal will be to argue and defend the Mistika every time a BZPer bashes or states (if it's reasonable to argue against it). That's all I have to say for now and I'll think of the details at some point. Any questions?

I'm not trying to "force people to not dislike the Mistika". I can understand why they wouldn't. However, I just want to stop the BASHING not "I don't like Gorast because her head is really too big for her body and how her claws are all different from each other". You know what I mean? Also, you guys are all signed up and I'll get the final information done and posted sometime today or tomorrow. ~SB~

Thanks guys! Especially Bfahome. ~SB~

Google? ~SB~

Alright! Thanks man! You mean keep it as a sticky? Well if you see my blog on the Community Blog page, there's a little grey heart on it, click on that and it'll always stay as a sticky until you change it again bye clicking on the heart again. ~SB~

Reminds me of one "The Simpsons" episode. "Who shot Mr. Burns?" ~SB~

Thanks for taking care of that... I will accept that but I won't accept the bashing. You're signed up... ~SB~

Happy b-day! Buy a Phantoka I guess...? ~SB~

Nice job! I like how you included both the swamp and the stalactites - that's pretty clever! However, I hoped that the swamp included more fog and trees but that's just my opinion and you did a great job with Bionicle.com this year. ~SB~

That was shocking. I couldn't believe it when I saw it on Yahoo... ~SB~

I understand. *Resists urge to argue...* No... I'm trying to destroy the pointless opinions about the Mistika that are different from mine. Seriously, what I'm trying to do is defend the Mistika a little bit. Y'know? They're being attacked on all sides and BZPer's are focusing on the bad parts and blaming Lego for everything. What I wanna do is try to defend the Mistika and Lego. ~SB~ I'm going to have to disagree. Any voice of discontent is ALWAYS met with ten voices telling them to hush. All complaints on anything TLG does with Bionicle end up that way. One complainer, a few who agree, and another fifty who are angry that someone doesn't like the current direction or designs. I guess that you're right in some cases but this summer, it's the reverse. Many people are bashing the Mistika and there aren't that many people actually defending the Mistika. For example, how many "Mistika FAIL" signatures or posts have you seen? How many "Mistika Rock!" sigs and posts have you seen? Look at the amount of "complaint topics" in the GD and the Sets Forum compared to "praising" topics. I'm not trying to tell everybody who hates the Mistika to "shut up", though that would be nice. Just kidding. However, I just want to disprove the irrational reasons, etc... ~SB~

*brutally murders using Starship Enterprise's phasers* *tromps on ashes* I'll join this one, but I would prefer it if the turtles evolved into something else, quickly.... *Rises from ashes and eats more turtles.* One problem: I'm not a turtle. Do you also eat aliens? Hmm... It depends on my mood, though I have a passion for purple aliens. I have 60 different recipes for them... ~SB~

Sure. ~SB~

Yes... I tried that already and I'll do so again... ~SB~

So, what is it? ~SB~
