Valendale

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much! It's a very nice picture of Orchid, and she seems to like it too! She's positively drooling on the keyboard in happiness.

It really nice to come to this old place and get birthday well-wishes. Even if it's so inactive that last year's is still on the same page.

And again, THANK YOU for your drawing and all the time and effort you put into it.

Tough choices this round, especially the Duty finals. I could easily see Chronicler's "firefight" becoming a reality, although I didn't vote for any of the fire toa here.

Thanks for the reminder. One of the only times I didn't jump on it right away. Maybe I don't really want a skull scorpio.

I'm a bit surprised Hahli is doing so well given the whole lime green situation she had.

Well, now that I know what the next GWP set is (an off-road ambulance for the City theme, available for spending $100 on anything), I now don't regret my most recent purchase quite as much, because I'm not interested in obtaining that one at all. There will be plenty more opportunities to get double VIP points, and I've already got just about everything I was interested in, at least among the things that are currently available. Let's just say I've got quite a few sets on my wishlist that won't be available until next month, so I'll have plenty to choose from if another GWP set later this year catches my interest.

Agreed. The moving truck they just revealed looks good to me though, assuming that's the next one after the ambulance.

Sad Nova's Room didn't come back in stock in time. Had to pick up a small Ninjago set I wasn't too thrilled about to complete my order.

I didn't know that about the penguin slushy van! I had initially written it off as too similar to past ice cream trucks, but now I'll have to pick it up. Still $20 short of the $100 mark with everything I want though. Wish I could just grab the bookstore and call it a day.

Well, good to have it confirmed at least, but the restrictions themselves are still disappointing.

Lotta hubbub for a little GWP set honestly. But I'm glad we got it! There's a lot of interesting points in the story of how this thing go made and why it is what it is. I do hope one day we get some kind of Bionicle tribute that isn't 2001-2003 though.

Yeah I have her. She might actually be the first "Toa" set I got. I'm not sure how much she goes for now. She has some unique stuff, but she's still an inika build at the end of the day.

It would be interesting to have a separate one to find the most-owned sets

I believe that's how they were seeded, just by going to Brickset and sorting by number who own.

A few surprises here for me: First of all that Ignika is beating Hahli so hard. I thought she had some real meme potential as well as just being a generally cool character and set.

And then the close vote in Match 26. That just seems like an easy one for Onua to me.

mata nui vs lesovikk very hard choice.

I feel that(not being around for the the first generation) that g2 will score high with newer fans

why is good guy not there

Well, good guy isn't a Toa, but that didn't stop some of these characters...

I know there's a bunch of newer fans who got into Bionicle with G2, but I wonder how many of them are here.

Interesting news to wake up to. Still think the Mask thing is ugly-as, but I reckon we can work with it  (We do a little modding??) Also, that Blacktron GWP looks great too. 

Yeah big shame they don't overlap. I'm not crazy about the set itself, especially the masks, but I'll do what it takes to get it, whether that be buying sets myself or getting it from someone else who's not interested in it. I just wish they didn't restrict the themes you could purchase from to get it, since I'd love to just buy one of the modulars or something.

I like the idea of seeding them based on ownership, but then the very first match is so strong. There's a lot of strong matches actually. And then there's Helryx at the end...

I was half expecting Ziontyro's angel, but this is a good one too.

Great simple little dino.

Love some pit creatures.

This whole topic seems kind of unethekal.

I'll echo basically everything in this topic. I've been having the same thoughts for a while now.

Yeah it's been gone for a couple years and I don't think anyone actually got any for a couple years before that.

I love this piece! Probably something I'll keep coming back to and notice something new every time I do. For the time being, I think the muaka ear headphones are my favorite.

This is a really cool idea and well-executed too.

These are some great mocs, good choice of a MOCist to spotlight.

I think at some forum upgrade point, posts in all forums along with blog entries/comments and status updates started counting towards the visible post count which is I think now called "content count" technically.  PMs counting to ranking up but not the count itself is news to me though.

New modular was revealed today. I think it looks a lot better than the last few. A jazz club is an interesting choice for a building.
