Target did not have any Thunder Drillers, so I just got the GG. We're checking back next week for the Drillers. The dynamite is slightly rubbery, and is a bit more detailed than I thought. I like Glaciator. To LEGO's credit, the "actual size" picture is pretty accurate. The jackhammer thing works pretty good, too.

So I got this great idea for a story when I woke up this morning: Have a Toa Team--the Toa Jekyll-- transform into rougher, more aggressive Toa (like, they'll kill)--the Toa Hyde. (Like, they'll still go get the bad guy, but might kill or use other methods to win.) Only holes are I have no idea where to go from there, how they should transform, what they'll do/won't do, and all that. But I was kind of excited when I first thought of it. Maybe I could make it just one Toa that changed, like the actual Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde...make it a short story or something.... First I'd have to read the actual book, which a friend has and I can borrow sometime. -CF Quote of the Day: If my calculations are correct...slinky + escalator = everlasting fun!

They're not "masks" this year, they're "helmets." No powers. Attach to the new head/face differently. Don't protect as much of the front face as Kanohi did (not that their purpose was to protect). Get it right. -CF Quote of the Day: There is no such thing as a bad sense of direction...only a good sense of adventure!

On the BZP Bionicle Quiz. Is that good? Granted, if it was more storyline stuff, it'd be better. Seriously, who knows...wait, I shouldn't discuss questions. -CF Quote of the Day, edited: ChocolateFrogs certainly doesn't suffer from schizophrenia. He quite enjoys it. And so do I.

This one. A pretty cool little set. Good piece/price ratio and good pieces at that. The initial build is cool (but nothing complex; this is a $10 set) and the end result is awesome. It's swooshable and has guns, so there's playability. And it looks cool just sitting there too. I'm a MOCist, so I'll tell you how great the pieces are. If you're a collector or you play with set, then there are five cool assassin droids and other things to make it fun. Now, pieces, as you can also tell from Peeron: SILVER pieces More guns Those flexy Exo-Force points in bley/light bley. Trans-Purple cones Two of these Plenty of nice extra parts, and I even got an extra #8 rod. Weird. I'd recommend it if it's got what you're looking for. I can also understand how you may not need the set in your piece collection, so go ahead and get whatever can enhance your MOCs. But it's great for collectors and players. -CF Quote of the Day: You call it slacking. I call it “dedicated inactivity.”

Why are there not more of them?

(Making this a new series was understandable, but i still can't understand why Voya Nui needed it too....) That said, GregF also noted that, while the MU Bionicle are about 15% organic and 85% bionic, it is the reverse for the Bara Magna characters, being mostly organic and the rest is armor and implants, I assume like Ed Elric's automail or like Seven of Nine from Star Trek. Or maybe Will Smith in I, Robot. Since they are mostly organic, and Berix wants to one day fight in the Arena, I'm interpreting this a few ways: 1) He (not she *sigh*) just wants to be strong and fight. or, what I first though of: 2) They actually grow up, since they are mostly organic. Perhaps all the Glatorian were at one point a lot like the Agori. Glatorian is just a title, right? And they all have very strong ties to their individual villages, where as Toa just keep to theirs because it's their custom. (OK, maybe not the best point, but I'm trying to figure something out here.) Although we don't know how Agori/Glatorian are made. We didn't know Toa were once Matoran until 2004, growing using a powerful stone. We know very little this far into the story. -CF Quote of the Day: Anyone ever notice that “studying” is “student” and “dying” put together?

Most of it we already knew, some we didn't, and it was all fun to comment on. And if you know me well enough then you should already be able to expect my responses. I'm just glad I can finally say "I told you so" to everyone who I've argued with about the pins for the last few years. Nobody would believe me when I said it was so they wouldn't get lost and kids could distinguish them. I know, right? We've known this since BrickFest '06! LOL. I want brighter colors back too. Why wouldn't those appeal to older kids? And what about lime green and white? And Keetorange? Well, bright green (like Lewa Nuva and Lerahk) would certainly be different now! But this is LEGO!!! The company's core is about building! This makes no sense to me. LEGO should be promoting building and creativity, right? But they're different sizes...no comparison please. A stud in height can make a difference. On weapons: That's right, which is why I don't mind it as much. But Bara Magna weapons still rock. On purple: Wouldn't it be awesome to branch out the elements? We already knew that.... Thanks for the interview, Bink, and answers, designers. -CF We already knew, yes. *sigh* I just realized something else. If the (older) fans like "darker" colors, then why come out with TAN instead of more brown? Hmm? -CF Quote of the Day? Already gave you one!

For a Communications class project, we had to "artistically" show sides of our-SELF. So, since I identify with being an AFOL, I did the rest of the project in LEGO Bricks with 8x8 vignettes, on a rotating base: My Boy Scout Side: (Artillery-chit not included.) (I.e. no gun.) <----clicky This was the first one I made and was really fun to make the forest. I already had the fig made. My Student Side: With computer, which I am always at, and messenger bag, which I like because then I stand out from the normal backpack wearers. It's also a good chance that that type of person is an Otaku, especially if decorated with buttons. My Journalist Side: Town hall was fun to build. And I like the hat. If only I had a press-flag.... My Introvert Side: (While a little more abstract, I like it.) Here the vignette is a simple “me” in a corner, alone, but I like to stand out, and everyone else is off in a big group. (This does not mean, however, that I do not like to hang out.) I like to look out onto life and take it as it comes at me, absorbing everything in first, hence the holes in the walls. Everyone else is off in a group doing their own thing, away from me. Yup! -CF Quote of the Day: "GIR! WHY is there bacon in the soap?" "I MADE IT MYSELF!"

...that they didn't include lime green in Kongu Inika.* -CF *except for those heads. *sigh* Quote of the Day: I’m not random, Chinese toaster glue is orange.

I just finished a MOC that's probably my most artistic to date. It is based on an ancient motif of the Egyptian mythic tradition. I plan to photograph it on Thursday (my day off this week -- weekend is work!) and try to have everything done -- gallery, inscription, and Photoshop art -- by next Wednesday. I don't normally hype my MOCs very much before publication, but I thought I'd announce this one early because of the esoteric significance of it at this juncture in my life. -------------------- Update: What a perfect synchronicity. Seriously, I only read it after posting this.

Maybe it'd be better if they brought back the old colors instead of conforming the masks to the new colors? Plus rods? Meh. The kiddies like them better, I guess, but the studded part is really helpful, and they never annoyingly fell out for me at least. -CF Plenty of quoteabel stuff here. I already gave you one for today.

The other pieces were not easy to find. That is not an actual LEGO Artoo, it's one of the cruddy versions that they stuck onto a pen.

Will likely be getting the Granite Grinder and Thunder Driller.

You'd be insane not to comment in this topic, by GreenBioGuy. -CF Quote of the Day: I love my insanity, it keeps me sane.

But I probably would have bought two of this set. Yes, I'm still complaining about it. What is it with Lego and thinking the US does not want Castle? They did, after all, deny us the Castle Advent Calender (not that I was going to get it, but there were plenty of people that wanted it, and only after some coaxing did they offer a limited number). -CF Quote of the Day: (Stolen from Ca’Gerrin, attributed to Marten Reed): Your problems are utterly alien to me. It's like a bear complaining to a shark that its knees hurt.

From Binky's Blog: Here are pictures of something from last year. There's a few things here if you look. And here is even better! (Including my favorite.) And oh! I just found these prototype Kanohi! Haven't seen this for probably about 5 years! *saves* Finally, these, with Toa Metru Keetongu, which would have been awesome piece-wise. -CF Ah, prototypes. -CF Quote of the Day: Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.

Should i get it?

Got bored so I decided to see what Skrall's body looks like, considering I don't think it's very practical to have your shoulders all the way back like that. You know what? I think Skrall will be a pretty cool set despite that, because it isn't that bad. This is the last time I shall take pix with my phone's camera, I promise. If I was being totally serious about what I was building I would have searched out a friend's camera. What inspired me to fool around with him in the first place was my want to put his armor on his legs, like happened with Nuparu Mahri armor for Toa Ignika. It looks awesome! (Will tilt though, so be sure to fix that before taking pix.) I can't wait to use that style in a MOC, and just might be reason enough for me to get a second Vorox, for more armor. (I also had to then put armor on his legs and started fooling around with the excess tread links.) Pic 1 Pic 2 Pic 3 In other news: -Finally watching the X-Games again after a few years of forgetting they were on! -Figure I might as well do something I've been contemplating and debating, pretty much because my friends want to see "Taken" and I don't. (But now that I read the reviews I might actually enjoy it. Great, now I need to make a decision quick. Nevermind just changed my mind. Not my kind of movie.) -CF Quote of the Day: I think it's a half-gram heavy on the back end. -Riddick

Not to jump ahead or anything, but we can't stay on the surface of a desert world for too long. Granted, going under Mata Nui was totally different than just going into a cave and finding a whole new world, but something will need to happen to put a twist. LOL, "You are not the first GLATORIAN." *shock!* (Like what Vakama said...) -CF Quote of the Day: Worst Vegetable of the Year: the brussle sprout. This is also the worst vegetable of next year.

Just a quick sketch when I got bored at work. Drawn on receipt paper. A space ship for MOCing purposes, which I will try harder to do this semester. In other news my dad gave me a threatening "pep-talk" before leaving for school about my grades. Granted, since before the end of last semester I knew I needed to improve them and have already set out a "game plan," but now it's going to seem like I'm getting better grades for him and not for myself. (Hmm, I guess this is just another consequence of bad grades.) There'll be no end to this. I just can't tell him I am loving my freedom and socializing and everything I never did at home and am so glad to be away from him and that I think that what you learn in college is only a fraction learned in the classroom. I doubt he'll like that idea. But seriously guys, comment on the VV. I have plenty of advice from everyone else on those two long paragraphs. -CF No quote. Working on the home computer (screen resolution of 800x600) and have other things to do.

I'll be playing LEGO Racers. In other words bye.
