My dream is to someday see, or be involved in the creation of, a good Bionicle film series. As in one with a good budget and one that would go to theaters. Not one made to sell toys, but one made to sell itself. We'd have to think up a snazzy title for each movie, as well as a subtitle. Like with Star Wars they had "Episode". For Bionicle I'm thinking... "Chapter". The voice acting would have to be good. :: Visions and Flashbacks I'm thinking they should be in flash style, like the MNOLG and Bohrok animations. I think that would be really cool and unique, add some flavor to the movies. It would also help you know when someone was dreaming and when something was really happening. The sprite and animations quality would be, of course, better than the original animations, but with the same concept. Thoughts? But of course the Metru Nui story wouldn't be all flash style. :: 2001 Coming of the Toa/Tale of the Toa/??? Chapter One Main characters: Tahu, Gali, Kopaka, and Takua. Main villains: Makuta and Infected Rahi. Basically it would start with Nixie seeing the Red Star, and it telling her that the Toa were destined to come or somesuch. She would tell Nokama who would tell Vakama who would send Takua off to collect the Toa Stones. Or perhaps that would be the beginning? Scratch all that, it would probably begin with a narrator telling the Legend of Mata Nui, in the Amaja pit. THEN the other stuff. Some time would be spent watching Takua collect the Stones, but not too much, as that could get very slow if you followed him around as he trudged around Mata Nui saving Turaga and finding their staffs, all of which managed to get themselves misplaced within the same week. He would put them in Kini Nui and get thrown to the beach, etc, as the camera flies up above Mata Nui as six points of light flash and make for the island. Tahu would climb out, etc etc etc. The events in the Tale of the Toa and the MNOLG would intermingle back and forth, showing the Matoran and Toa's struggle against the Rahi, and Takua's quest to regain his memory. Of course, there would be no suspense in that, as you already know who he is. Perhaps it would be better for him not to lose his memory there? Several scenes of the Toa Mata searching/finding masks and quarreling would be necessary, but slowly they realize they must work together to get things done. Lewa gets infected etc etc. The only real problem I foresee is that of choosing which climax to use. There were two different Manas stories, as well as two different Shadow Toa stories. I'm inclined to remove the Manas, as in that scene there was really no character development. An interesting fight, no doubt, but throughout the movie there would be Rahi battles so there's really no point in drawing the Manas scene out. Of the two Shadow Toa stories I would choose Greg's, as the solution was more interesting and thought provoking. And of course... the scene with Makuta. Yes, Makuta. Not Teridax. The scene of him as a Matoran/nebulous mass is one of my favorite in Bionicle history. That would be the true climax. Would two climax-types hurt the movie? Perhaps. Thoughts? And all throughout the Mangaia battles it would be flashing back to the Chroniclers Company, to make things more interesting and less drawn out. It would end with them combining powers, defeating Makuta, and heading for the surface, as Takua witnesses the awakening of the Bohrok and ascends to the surface. He would land face down in the sand, then he would look up. Que suspenseful LOST-type music. The End. Other notes: The Cable Car would MOST CERTAINLY be in it. As I want it to be canon. The idea of Unity, Duty, Destiny would be strongly enforced throughout the film, as would be the Toa's ultimate mission of waking up Mata Nui. :: 2002 The Bohrok Swarms Chapter Two Main characters: Tahu, Gali, Kopaka, Lewa, and Takua. Main villains: The Bohrok and the Bahrag. 2002 would basically follow the 2002 storyline. I can't really think of anything you could easily add or take away. It would intertwine the stories of Chronicles #2 and the Bohrok animations. (and the comics, as always) The Toa get some Krana, Lewa get infected, (again) Nuparu makes the Boxor, some Bohrok are smashed, Kopaka finds the nest, they all go into it, find some Exo Toa, fight some Bahrag, turn into Nuva, etc... The Toa Nuva would emerge and escape the nest. After they arrive on the surface they would have the fight, and the Nuva would split, with Gali calling after them. Shot zooming out through the jungle as she falls to her knees. It would probably end with the Matoran covering up the Krana holes and using the Bohrok to help rebuild the villages. The Bohrok would suddenly get the call to return to the nest and drop what they were doing and go. In a darkened room you see red eyes as Makuta talks to himself about releasing his Rahkshi. Something along those lines. The End. Other notes: I'm not sure if the Bohrok Kal saga is necessary. I mean, nothing really earth shattering happened in it. The idea of the Nuva being weakened by the split up could be told of in the Mask of Light saga, with the Rahkshi. As far as I can see, the Kal wouldn't really offer any good plot points and it would just be another movie, and since the series would already be long, adding another mostly pointless movie would probably hurt sales more than help. The Vahi could be introduced at the end, in the next movie, or not at all. It's not really a significant plot point. :: 2003 The Mask of Light Chapter Three Main Characters: Toa Nuva, Takua, Hahli, and Jaller. Main villains: Makuta and the Rahkshi. This would follow the Mask of Light movie pretty closely in terms of plot, but with better acting, dialogue, and animation. It would of course be longer, with more character development in all the main protagonists. The Nuva's character development from the Kal saga would be transplanted to here. The beginning and end would be practically the same as in the original movie. Other notes: I'm not really sure where the Matoran Rebuilding would be put. =/ :: That's all for now. I'm sure I'll be able to add more later, but I'm getting tired and distracted. 2004-2008 coming soon. BtB Edit, me, comment #2.

I'm currently trying to write some ideas about future Bionicle movies. It's taking longer than I expected, so... I should have part one up soonish. Here's a preview of my ramblings: BtB
-
Second official win. BtB
-
I want this kid's shirt. In my size, of course... And not HIS, but one like it... The Bionicle one, of course... BtB
-
This is the suckiest Lego-related thing to happen in a long time. EVER *woosh* There go the cost of Purple bricks... BtB
-
Tell me if I'm not allowed to link to this... but it seems official enough. Just give me a gentle shove if it's not alright and I'll get rid of it. XD Update: Omi seems to approve, so I guess it's alright. BtB
-
Where have you kept your creativity hidden for so long? Where you worried someone would find out you're awesome? BtB
-
*bzzzzzzzzt* Too late. =/ BtB
-
That would be Tesseract. And after the initial 2009 shock, I've begun to see some flaws in the sets. Some are still fantastic, others are less than stellar, one is garbage... but overall I'm still pleased. Oh yeah and they were removed from Brickshelf. ;_; Also new banner: Kbai. BtB
-
From what I see, 2009 Lego, including Bionicle, is possibly the best series ever. There are only one or two sets I don't like.. the rest are . K. I'm done. It's like a dream come true... BtB
-
I was afraid I'd have to pay $20, minimum, for a set of 100 tracks and ten sprockets. But in my browsing the interwebs, I ran across a Lego website I'd never heard of before: Lego Education. Well, I'll let you see for yourselves: LINK1 LINK2 LINK3 Also: Printed sprockets FTW. BtB Edit: Oi, that website has some sweet bulk deals.

bundalings-AT-hotmail.com ADD MEH And comment with you username so I know to accept you. Also cinnamon. BtB

Can someone provide a Greg quote? Next we'll find out Purple will be reintroduced! Scrolls... masks... villages... man, the next story arch is looking AWESOME. BtB
-
That pretty accurately sums it up for me. Yeah I found it on N's b-shelf, sue me. It seems like I had a bizarre spike in comments a while back, and now it's leveled off again... school, do you think? BtB

Imagine their jets are actually magical mystical levitation artifacts. BtB

Went to Walmart. The prices had been increased... and since pretty much everything is more expensive here, they're no $14.77. =/ Kinda lame. So there were two Bitil, two Onua, two Axalara, (who was $91.something, blech) and three Rockoh. It looked like they restocked Av Matoran, but they were still out of Lewa and Antroz. Haven't been to Kmart again recently, but here's hoping they haven't raised the prices yet... Not that anyone cares about any of this. Hey, I just realized I'm probably the most popular rabbit on BZP. Not that that means anything... >_> BtB
-
K. I'm gonna see if I can get the Ignika/Vultraz pack, as well as one of the Mistika packs. Thing is, I have one Mistika from each of the groups. I do not want another Gali. So. Would it be better to get a second Krika and Gorast, or a second Onua and Bitil? I want seconds of both of those sets, I just don't know which I want more. And I think I would rather have Gorast over Bitil, but I don't know. =/ Halp? BtB
-
Can anyone point me to a good Mata Nui font with numbers? Kthnxbai. BtB
-
Yep... I went to Kmart to snag Antroz and Lewa and complete my Phantoka collection but then I see a Toa Ignika and a Gali and a Gorast! Overjoyed, I check the price on Gorast and find it's still the old one! ($11.49, here) So I was debating whether to get Gorast and Lewa or Ignika... I just couldn't decide... well then I saw that there were lots of Ignika's on a lower shelf that I hadn't noticed. That made it a no-brainer. So the I'm waiting for mom, I start walking around, and I see this big Lego display, with castle and Batman and other stuff on it... and, lo and behold, I see Rockoh seated atop it! I ran over there and instantly saw a load of Mistika sitting there. Hoorah! I quickly got Krika and Onua. A little further investigation revealed a few Vultraz as well. So yeah. Kmart is my new best friend. They have and awesome Bionicle selection right now... which is unusual. Normally they have hardly any selection. Now they have all the Mistika, Phantoka, Av Matoran, Mahri, Barraki, Gadunka, Hydraxon, Ignika, a Rockoh, and some Vultraz. YES. And all the Mistika were old price! I hope to get them all before they realize they're mistake... >_> Contrast that with Walmart that I also went to that has incomplete Phantoka and Av Matoran collections. So some quick thoughts on my newest Mistika: :: Krika Pros: Awesome mask. Awesome weapons. Awesome pieces. Awesome overall look. Really awesome overall look. NOT orange eyes. Crast = Nynrah is best projectile evar. He looks huge and awesome when he's sprawled. AWESOME Cons: Only 40 parts. =/ Fifth limb looks nasty. But that's an easy fix. Matoran mount. See above. Steep price if you aren't lucky like me. Overall: He looks just plain awesome, and steals Favorite Canister Set from Takadox. For collectors or MOCists, he is a worthy edition to any collection. :: Onua Pros: Sweet Toa set. Nice blaster attachment. Awesome MOCing parts. Not too much silver. Shield looks nice, and is at least some form of melee weapon. Longer body means better proportions. Pretty good mask, despite the fact he can't see straight. Reasonable piece count for price. NYNRAH IS AWESOME Cons: Mask looks more like a Kraahkan than a Pakari, even though there is a slight resemblance. DON'T ARGUE WITH ME Doesn't "click" as a version of his old self like Lewa Tahu and Pohatu do. Height is weird, considering he's always been short. Right arm armor isn't perfectly steady. Colors of stomach and chest armor would look much better switched. Black body and hips would be a huge improvement. Overall: He looks pretty sweet, despite the fact that if you traded his silver for gunmetal he could easily pass for Teridax. Even though he's cool, he just doesn't feel like Onua, and leaves me with a slight 'meh' feeling. He's a treasure trove of MOCing parts though. :: Overall overall: Both are great sets, much better than Gali, but Krika is the victor. :: K I'm done. BtB

I would so buy it. BtB

Yeah it sucks. BtB

Get cup or other container.Add some liquid soap.Fill with water.Dump dirty parts in.*Let soak for several minutes.Remove parts from cup.Rinse parts thoroughly.Let parts dry. *No stirring required! BtB

Anyone have a gallery or something of pictures from the last Brickfair? BtB

I need a light blue Pakari, really badly, for BBC #50. So... I'm willing to pay market value and shipping. Any other masks you're willing to sell that I need, as shown on the list to the bottom left, I will also pay market value for. To an extent. I can't buy dozens. XD Misprints are also out unless you can give a great deal... >_> You send before I pay. I can send money in the mail or, preferably, via Paypal. So please, please help! I need this mask! BtB Edit: Dorek (aka Neuromancer) has offered goodness, and we're working it out now. If it doesn't fall through I'll close this entry.

Yeah, I took loads of pictures, and I'll try to throw together a review today or tomorrow. But until then, take a look at my order! All that for $55, and that's with shipping! Yeah, I intentionally put Gali in the back. I won't tell you anything about her yet. Oh yeah, she isn't the worst set ever. Hewkii Mahri is. He is like chaos embodied. Awful. Horrible. Saddening. Oh yeah, and he's short. Real short. >_< Great parts though. Woah, that pic almost makes him look good! Also, two headspikes=better than one. BtB
