Mystery Piece Has Me Baffled; Barraki Eyes In A New Colour!
BCii posted a blog entry in blogs_blog_153
Technic Liftarm 1 x 16 thin I've never seen this piece myself, and no one seems to know what set(s) it made its appearance in. It seems an oddity, too specialized (and fragile?) to have warranted continued releases, but the photo is obviously real. Anyone have a clue where it's from? Also, Barraki eyes are coming out in at least one new colour this year. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «Colour: trans orange (Jaller Inika) In Sets: 7630 Front-End Loader 8597 (small Power Miners set) <o> <o> -

Went to the WAMALUG meeting on Saturday. Had a good time and, as usual, hung out and talked more than I built. A few members bring cameras so I figure I'll show off some stuff without actually finding the time myself to take pix again! Got some cool things as well: For $32, I got a Blacktron landing pad baseplate and six small Space and Classic Space sets, including two Classic Space figs--my first! Not to mention obtaining an Ice Planet 2002 fig after losing mine oh so long ago. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=3645187 I also put on display my modded Takanuva. Soon after getting him I replaced his right Inika-leg arm for a black one, and then fixed the rest up when I modded him some more. My friend suggested putting the silver Avohkii on him (I don't have a gold one), so I did, but knew I'd have to get rid of the rest of the gunmetal as well, so the chest was replaced, the right arm finished the infection, and put the other various bits of silver here and there. I also bulked up the chest a little since it's lacking in the set. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=3642964 A member had Malum, so I checked him out. Very cool set. He was having trouble posing him (sheesh, "normal" AFOL's...) so I said, "Here, allow me," and posed him quite coolly. Much better justice to a Bionicle set in front of a bunch of AFOL's than he would have done. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=3643004 (Except this pic is really of me trying out the fruit launcher. I think my favorite weapon in a while, since it's not bulky etc etc.) I've also been working on a space MOC, which was originally supposed to be a Vic Viper (search that on Flickr for more details) but my pieces had other plans. Now it's an asymmetrical ship with a big gun (built) on one side, a cockpit which I think is pretty cool in the middle, and I just finished thinking about my idea for the big engines on the other side. Serious ChocolateFrogs iz serious. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=3645218 I was so deep in thought I had no idea Abe was taking these pix of me deep in thought. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=3645219 But seriously, when I find time to finish it (it went untouched between meetings, and you know how school is), it'll be awesome. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=3645221 (You can see in the background the kind of baseplate I got. I realized something like that would be very useful when I put a bunch of Space stuff on display at the local Lego Store this summer. (Now I just have to build a space port/moon base thing.) As usual, I can not stress enough how much you need to search out for your local LUG if you have one. They're great, even for introverts like me. -CF Quote of the Day: Cole's Law: Thinly sliced cabbage.

The Toa Nuva. Onua is the best by far. I still have him together, which is amazing considering that I made the purchase yesterday. Tahu and Gali didn't last an hour before the urge to start cannibalizing them for MOC parts became irresistible. Several of the new parts have found their way into my new, Dark Mirror -inspired inbrickations of Tuyet and Nidhiki. As cool as Onua is, he would have been even cooler with a silver pelvis. (Ten times fast: silver pelvis silver pelvis pilver selvis velver pilvis selver pulvis blub blub blub. . . ) Which is the colour I always thought it was until seeing it in person. But yeah, silver Rahkshi, Piraka, and Inika lower limbs -- spiftastic. As launchers go, the Nynrah Ghost blasters are unremarkable. Their range falls short of the Cordak, at least in my experience, and the munitions are most odd-looking. On the plus side, their MOCability surpasses the Midak cannons and rivals the old Zamor launchers. (And while I'm on the subject of Bionicle launcher gimmicks, I'd like to state for the record that the venerable Rhotuka are still unbeaten for sheer fun factor. I have fond memories of the Rhotuka games my brothers and I challenged each other to back when I was still living at home. *sigh. . .* Only one of them was remotely any kind of a fan of Bionicle, but they all agreed that Rhotuka were awesome.) Tahu's "adapted" Hau Nuva mask is OK, but I think it would look much better without the stabilizer fin sticking out of the top. XP As for Gali's new so-called "Kaukau," I prefer the modification below. Just don't call it a Great Mask of Water Breathing, please -- my credulity only stretches so far. Tanma's mask in blue would have been so perfect. . . Onua's new Pakari Nuva? All kinds of cool; ooh baby you so bad. Add to that the hot-rod red boosters and fins, the new chest armour, the aforementioned silver Rahkshi shins, and the funky black laser doodad pimpin' out his Nynrah, and you've got one mother of a kick-megabloks set. Wow! Yeh. Dunno when those newfangled Glah-tow-reens will be hittin' shelves in Finn-land, but I'm saving for a Rockoh (Sockoh! Whammoh!) first. I seem to have developed a strange liking for lime green that almost certainly didn't exist two years ago. It just defies understanding. -- LEGO LIMEGREEN ADDICTION CONSPIRACY! <o> <o>

Textual Review Of The Crystal Reaper
Bfahome posted a blog entry in You're attacked by a Repair Nektann
This is the review I'm submitting on S@H. -
Just off the top of my head: SW Assassin Droid Battle Pack $10 Power Miner Rethinking my Glatorian buying plan. Instead of getting two Vorox, I'll get one and buy the other pieces I need from a second off you-know-where. I'll still wait for a TRU buy two get one free sale, and get Vorox, Skrall, and Gresh. (Gresh is not for pieces, but he just looks sooooooo cool. Besides, he'll just sit on my dorm room shelf until the summer, so I'll need a cool set if I don't just display MOCs.) I think those are the big kickers for now. -CF Quote of the Day: Blessed are they who Go Around in Circles, for they Shall be Known as Wheels.

So after the demonstration downtown today, I still had 45 min of parking time left. I stowed my sign away in my car (no, I won't say what was on it -- it was a symbol that to describe would probably get me in trouble with the staff) and went shopping. Picked up a picture frame, a pocket calendar, and. . . AGORI. Kudos to Stockmann for stockin' these guys -- the other store I visited earlier today only had Power Miners in their shipment. (I got two copies of 8957 Mine Mech from there -- orange Mahritoran blades and trans-orange Barraki eyes!) My heart leaped as soon I caught sight of the Lego shelf from 20 metres away: Raanu's fiery elemental background stood out clearly as Not Karda Nui. Once I walked over there, it actually took me only a few seconds to make my selection -- I normally spend much longer looking at new sets on the shelf. Berix and Raanu. (Ooh, I just noticed: these are the only Agori whose names start with the same letter as their colour!) Why red and blue? I assure you, it's not just because I favour those two colours. (See? ) It's because of the sheer number of useful new parts in these sets. They both boast recoloured Mata-style feet, which no other Agori do. Raanu has Twin Cutters in red, while Berix has the original flame sword in medium blue. The limbs are all new (I skipped Radiak, so Raanu's legs count) and very welcome. As a bonus, Berix wields two gold Chronicler's Staves. The Av-Matoran torsos are so far largely an untapped resource in my creative Lego endeavours, but perhaps the blue one will spark inspiration. On the new heads: they are awesome in every way. Except for being too small for the old masks, but I can live with that. The new face covers are a bold step forward in design. The new attachment point frees up the mouth à la Hewkii Mahri's Kanohi Garai, one of my all-time favourite masks. The elemental influence, at least with these two characters, is taken to an unprecedented extreme. This is good. The subtle wash from blue to medium blue on Berix is especially tasty. I look forward to making use of these new pieces. Bring on those Glatorian! <o> <o>

(As for the Agori, they’re the same basic thing as last year. New colors are cool, but I’ll stick to the web you-know-where buying for a few of their pieces.) I’ve decided I’m going to wait for TRU to have a buy-two-get-one-free sale, making the Glatorian I buy $10 each (since TRU jacks their prices up, but I think this is the only choice). Favorites, most to least, with praise and cricitism.: Vorox: You should have known this is my first favorite. I’d love to say “BROWN!!1!!” but I shall not, as the only brown on him is the bits on his armor. Rather, I shall say this: TAN!!!!1!!one!!! The tan legs and armor are going to be great pieces to MOC with. While new weapon(s) would have been nice, I still need that staff of Hewkii Mahri’s, personally. The tail, well, we’ll have to see that in action in the storyline before I completely criticize it. I’m getting two of this set for double the Toa Mata feet and Toa Metru chest armor. (I’ll probably place the chest armor around his waist.) The body is a little basic, but we’ve come to expect nothing new. Skrall: While he is a little meh, the pieces are great! I guess I don’t quite need the red joints or black Metru legs, but the armor and weapons (including the two on his shoulders) are awesome! The body is weird, though, and I don’t think that’s very beneficial. However, he still manages to stand up and move, so I think it’ll turn out alright. His color scheme also makes up for any faults, although the red in the black swords might make it a little hard for MOCing. I’m buying him with my two Vorox when the sale comes around. Gresh: The pictures from DV made him look sooo much cooler than I originally anticipated. Granted, the shield turned me on, but the lime turned me off. Then I see DV’s pix, and Gresh looks beautiful (in a masculine, Bionicle-set kind of way). Then I read the comic, and Gresh was so cool! This is the first set in a while I’m considering buying because of the character traits over the pieces, which I don’t need. I don’t know exactly how I’ll buy him, but I will. Strakk: Just barely beats Malum on the list, but I’ve always had a soft spot for the ice guys. (So explain to me why I don’t yet own Kopaka, yet probably all the pieces to build him?) I really do not like the dark blue, because from the pictures I’ve seen it does not seem to help with the color flow, nor has dark blue ever seemed like an ice color. (It’s bad enough Lego is using light blue for the ice guys instead of sand blue like in Matoro.) His body design is also pretty terrible, IMO, as his back juts out. How can he live like that? Not much chest armor either, but because of his body design it’s not like there is anything else to cover. His armor is, like Skrall’s and Malum’s, weird, in that it seems counterproductive to move your shoulder because your armor will hit you in the face. It does, however, seem like something awesome to MOC with, and I’ll want to pick up his armor and his sweet axe on you-know-where. Not a bad face either; really says “don’t mess with me.” Malum: I was not too impressed by the first pix, but the new ones make him look like a VERY strong and not someone to mess with. I already stated my problems with armor like this, and I just realized his armor will be loose, as it is only held on by one blue pin. Swivel=bad. His chest armor is great, it actually covers all his chest, makes him look muscular, and flows. The fire claws are very unique and have great MOCablilty. My biggest turn-off, besides the shoulder armor, is the bley. He would look so much cooler, maybe even worth buying, if the bley was instead keetorange. Tarix: DV said she he wasn’t too great, so what more must I say? Actually, ever since the initial pix I have not been too excited over Tarix. Ok, gold armor will be great, but those things sticking out of it are terrible. And there is barely anything covering the chest, which annoys me greatly. When will we get a full series of characters fully armored? The water axes may be cool, I guess, but the gold might detract from some MOCablilty. And although bright blue (yay!) feet (and hands) may be great, that color only shows up in the rest of the set in the form of pins. I guess the tube is necessary, even though they live in a desert, since he’s a water being. Overall I am less than impressed with this set. It looks like a bad MOC you’d find in the Bionicle.com galleries–everything possible is attached . (Actually, you probably will when the kids decide to upload pix of sets claiming to be their own!) Those are my thoughts. Go ahead and buy your sets based on however you use sets, though I do wish more people would MOC than just “collect.” -CF Quote of the Day: Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.

Well, Tilius beat me to it, but I find a few of the Glatorian quotes funny: I like Strakk's, "Facing me in the arena will make your blood run cold!" But Vorox's, "Beware my stinger tail!" is a little over the top, and Gresh's, "I might be green, but I'm not inexperienced!" makes no sense at all. And Tarix being able to "fight with elegance"? Have you looked at her him? (Which reminds me I need to blog about my likes/dislikes with the sets.) Skrall's and Malum's quotes are cool though, and make sense along with Strakk's. -CF Quote of the Day: Frisbeetarianism: the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck.

In all honesty, I can not complain about the concept. I remember back when the Mask of Light movie came out, and I thought it would be awesome if Lego sold hands (like in mask packs) so I could give Tahu Nuva hands. And back then I just outgrew the target audience. But I can, however, complain about the design of these hands. They are huge, aren’t they?! I don’t have any yet, so I can’t say, but they look longer than I would have designed them and the + hole is placed in the wrong place, based on where a hand, fist, and grasp would be on an old joint. I hope Lego decides to re-examine the hand and redesign it, but that’s probably unlikely to happen. -CF Quote of the Day: When you're in it up to your ears, keep your mouth shut.

...am I an awesome MOCist. Last night I had a dream that I had built this really cool red, white, and silver Toa with wings as his arms and I think he was wearing a red Akaku and I posed him perfectly (took a while for the legs to be just right, as if he was about to jump) and his wings/arms spread about to take flight and they looked like amazing wings, not using weapons but they actually looked like feathers. And then I left it alone for half an hour and somebody took it along with the rest of my pieces as a practical joke. Real anti-climactic, I know, since it was going on display in a Lego Window into the Community in one of the dorms. If the dream continued I know I was having plans of asking for it back, the joke was over. There was a red and white space ship in its place. Hey, maybe that's a sign, as I'll be doing a Window into the Community in the summer and can not decide whether to do a lot of Bionicle MOCs like last time (I do, after all, have a whole Toa Team MOCed, but none of my creations look like Glatorian, which might be best when they'll be almost next to each other), or to put a lot of space and micro-space (but I think I'd have to build a space port as well and things). -CF Quote of the Day: You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive.

This year I want to take more pix of MOCs in a more timely manner. On that note I need to resolve to MOC more. That is all. -CF Quote of the Day: I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.

If you look at it one way, I bought the set. If you look at it another way, it was a Christmas gift bought with Christmas money. Nonetheless, I got Takanuva for $20 at my local Lego Store yesterday and built him promptly upon arriving home. I also bought three Slave I keychains for $2.50 each. All with my 10% discount of course. Sadly I did not feel it would be appropriate to squander more money on the $20 Droid Gunship. (I would have had the return of my Uncle's horrid gift to me resulted in cash, trust me. But now I have a useless $22 gift card to Bloomingdale's.) I've heard this set is something along the lines of the best Bionicle set of 2008? Yeah, that sounds about right. (Hey, Axalara T9 looks awesome, but I don't have it, so I'll stick with Takanuva as the best.) The Build: (Why isn't TAG Let working?!? Ah well, Comic Sans MS it is.) Super. Interesting. The body is simple, as are the arms (but they're better), but the best part is the legs and feet. Great to build, great assortment of pieces (2 white Hordika feet and 8 of those Throwbot things, etc!) and really sturdy. Yep, I like the legs. It took me almost an hour, but I was also watching The Incredible Hulk, so that slowed me down. But I enjoyed the building process. I'd say it'd be a good 20-30 minutes of fun building and "oh look" moments. Pretty good considering the other sets might not take so long, as well as 260-something pieces. The Pieces: As stated, 2 white Hordika feet and 8 of some piece that make up his legs. You know the ones. Others: 6 Hordika knecks 2 gunmetal Takadox heads His mask is cool! 3 white double joints (new, for what it's worth) Probably 14 or more white joints 6 white Mahritoran blades 2 white Makuta Mistika claws 7 special balls (the hollow kind, "new" (from the Inika)) Gunmetal Bitil wing more? The Set: Very cool, very pose-able, withstands the "standing-on-one-foot test," and is going to stay built so my friends can see this week, and I might just keep it built to show off at WAMALUG and maybe even at college, unless I find a need for the pieces, which I just might. I'll probably change his right (or is it left?) arm to black or gunmetal for storyline accuracy, but it's not a factor in set design and would in fact look weird to a little kiddie. This size is great. My biggest set I've ever built, probably. He stands up, looks cool, and is one not to mess with. The Conclusion: I love this set, if my speaking of keeping it built did not give that away. If you have the cash to spare, get it if you like these kinds of things and want MOC pieces. If you are lucky then he'll be on sale right after Christmas at a store or on S@H. But he is one of the best sets I've spent lots of money on is a while. I see many uses for the Takadox head and his mask, to say the lest. -CF Quote of the Day: If you don't care where you are, then you aren't lost.
