Am on Legends #7 now.

4 days until graduation! Nothing totally noteworthy right now, I'm watching Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. So I thought I'd say that I posted the Tiny Wasps. Hmm, maybe I'll talk about my amazing day, having this new free time and such: -Got up at 10:00. -After breakfast I sorted some miscellaneous System pieces (by color, my collection is small enough), then sorted the black ones by big and small. I still have more sorting to do. -Took a 12 mile bike ride. I'll post the Black Fantasy tomorrow, when the folder is public. (I uploaded 1 more photo.) -CF Quote of the Day: What I need is a list of specific unknown problems we will encounter.

I wonder what I'd do when the world runs out of oil... No more plastic... No more LEGO... How depressing.

8 days until graduation! Go to you know where to watch videos and search "Giant LEGO Boulder" You know you want to. You won't regret it. -CF Quote of the Day: I have a catapult. Give me all the money, or I will fling an enormous rock at your head.

As mentioned a few times previously, outside of Bionicle, I also make train MOCs. A while ago, I exhibited at a model train show, as I do two or three times a year. Gallery. I pretty much change the whole lot every year. This year, it was all based on the work of cartoonist Rowland Emett, who was famous a long time ago for his fantastically weird designs. Basically, all this trains this year were designed to be impossibly silly. It was fun. Next year...I might go back to normal trains. The more observant of you will notice that the scale I used this year was Miniland scale, which required so much work it was ridiculous, but it was also a lot more fun building all the little (large?) details. Next year I'll probably do Minifig scale again, which will mean starting from scratch. But that's the fun of it all.

10 days until graduation! Seeing the front page news reminded me to write this. This isn't about how TRU is increasing the prices on their Phantoka early, but more so how they increase all their Lego prices no matter what. It sickens me. I went there a few weeks ago to get some Lego for my sister's birthday, and everything except the Mahri were increased by a dollar, or two. I think some of the $15 Exo-Force sets were $20. What really sickened me was seeing the Avi-toran at $7 each. I was talking with a friend about this, and she totally agreed with me, having noticed the same thing. That makes two, anyone else realize this? Unless they're having a buy-two get-three free sale or something, I'm not even considering looking for Lego at TRU anymore. I ended up going to Target for my sister, where not only were the prices normal, but the sets were arranged nicely and organized. -CF PS, On the note of the news article, I'll have to make it a point to get Chirox next Monday at the Lego store after I see Indy, assuming I have $10 left over, and it's open after 9 o'clock on Memorial Day. PPS, I won't be on as much as I'd like to in the next few days. I have exams to study for. Quote of the Day: Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.

First, I'm not feeling too good, mostly due to pollen allergies attacking my nose and body. Yesterday at school was bad, because I had to go through classes with a runny nose and using tons of tissue. Today is just as bad, because here I am at home, but I don't want to lie down and feel sorry for myself, but it's not good to be sitting up doing homework (or blogging or playing the Flash Portal game). So pretty much I can't do anything, because I can't/don't want to. But here I am blogging, and I'm about to lie (sorta) on the couch to read The Hound of the Baskervilles (probably the one required reading book I don't mind reading. Sherlock Holmes FTW). ------------------- Anyway, I mentioned a sale in the entry title. Yessiree, I am having a sale on my Zamor Balls. While you can go to the topic, just post here and PM me and we'll get down to business. (More details about the authenticity and rarity of these and their size in the topic.) The old price was $3 a ball plus whatever I decided for shipping. The new price is still $3 a ball, plus free shipping on orders of three balls or more! (If you only order 2 balls, shipping will be $2, totaling to $8) I only ship to the 50 states in the US. You send cash first. I'd rather not send first, even for staffies or TT's, but if you insist, I will, but it's more so a money issue. Once we arrange a deal through email or PM, I'll give you my address in which to send money to. Shipping will take 3-4 days, once I send it. This won't be until I receive your payment and I have time to get to the post office. If you already arranged an order with me but no money has been sent yet, these new sale prices do change for your order! Post here and PM me for more info, if you have questions. ------------------- -CF Quote of the Day: Diplomacy is the art of saying “nice doggy” until you can find a rock.

13 days until graduation! I need some testimonials, please, before I can nominate myself for a BZP Lego Ambassador. Is anyone willing? Arpy already said he'd write one for me, and I have full confidence he'll bring the best of me out. If anyone else knows me well, please PM me a testimonial and we'll see where this takes me! I'm ready. Let me refresh your memory: Perhaps you know me than just another BZP member. Maybe we've met, chatted thoroughly, or share other websites in common. For the Lego community, I've supported it with not only purchases (preferably at a local Lego store to support them) but with my enthusiasm. I am a member of WAMALUG, a Lego User's Group. I've displayed my MOCs at the Lego store for a month, as well as at various events with WAMALUG. I've been to BrickFest 06, visited BF04, and highly support BrickFair 08. The Lego community includes sites like BZP (in which I am a premier member) and the extensive Lego section of Flickr. I also frequent a particular blog that features outstanding MOCs every day. A member of LUGNET, I care about the Lego community and, were anything to happen, work to rebuild it. (Like LEGOfan.org, as quoted above.) I'll probably join that certain Lego Space forum out there, and maybe MOCpages, time permitting. But the Lego community is the real people too in real life outside the internet. Not only did I keep a high school freshman from entering his "dark ages," I've recruited several members to WAMALUG, and hope to get another friend to join soon. I met two Lego fans in just the past week and hope that we, together, can grow in our Lego experience. My personality? That's for you to decide. You've read my blog, perhaps talked with me, and although that is just text, things can be seen about a person. Personally, I believe myself to be dedicated to a task, especially one I have a passion for like Lego, a leader, open to discussion and ideas, respectful, creative, and willing to try new things. Keep in mind I'm the Piraka Fusionist, if that makes a difference. I love to MOC, so I can see what kind of pieces Lego should make and what works. I observe everyone's opinions on the new sets and current pieces, and I won't let my personal feelings about, say, lime and bley, overpower what I know is best for the community. Bunda said he wanted purple, and right now I think is a great idea. We'll see what comes up. Hope that gives you stuff to work on. I'm sure you'll do a great job writing a testimonial for me. I don't care if I get PMed more than 3, we'll work it out. Thank you! -CF Quote of the Day: Bob was as perplexed as a hacker who means to access T:flw.quid55328.com\aaakk/ch@ung but gets T:\flw.quidaaakk/ch@ung by mistake.

14 days until graduation! Remember this? Took out the dark flesh (Metru brown), built the arms, and switched some things. Looks better. Notice the armor on the rahkshi feet. His right leg is what I'm going to use, and if I can get some tan balls then I'll put those inside. The left leg was a test to see how'd that work, and it didn't on this MOC. Originally that joint (see right leg) was brown, but he needed a tad black on his leg. (I need to replace the visorak feet on the swords with black ones, but those are in use on my Eva MOC right now.) Remember this? Changed the mask, neck, and back armor. (If you notice, he has a small sword attached to his back in emergencies.) I also was experimenting with weapons, seeing as how he makes them out of fire. My friend made the fire sword (see first pic) thicker, and it looks amazing. But I got the idea for this bow and arrow so I thought it was cool, if not unconventional for someone who can do anything with fire and wouldn't need a bow and arrow out of fire. Cool, no? PS, feel like supporting me in becoming a Lego Ambassador? -CF Quote of the Day: Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.

I have a custom fire sword for my Ta-Toa. I'm looking for a red (++) piece, and refuse to wait a month to get a dark orange one, but I'm thinking that, if this is the base of his sword, white wouldn't be bad. After all, white is extremely hot, right? (Or is it the coolest? I forget) But if it's the only white piece on the entire MOC, then it's bad, I guess. Plus, I'd have to explain it. *goes back to looking for a red technic piece* -CF I was going to show you my current wallpaper, as I do occasionally, considering it changes every week, but it didn't save properly. I got if off Maj, so I'll just tell you it's this (not my pic) instead!

22 days until graduation! Who: Any local, Washington DC Lego fans What: WAMALUG: The Washington DC Metropolitan Area Lego User’s Group Where: Dolley Madison Library When: Sunday, May 11 (sadly, Mother’s Day) Why: Because we all like to get together to build and chat about Lego! More info here. I know it's on Mother's Day, but my mom said she'd let me go anyway. We'll do something with her later at night anyway. I'll be there, in my light blue BZPower T-shirt. I won't be there for the whole thing, but I'll be there for some time in the middle. Be sure to bring pieces or a set to build, and your creativity and openness to Lego discussion with a bunch of AFOLs! (Note on the AFOL-ness. Pretty much, if you can drive yourself there, you're welcome. I think at least in high school. If you're mature and don't fool with other's MOCs you're welcome to come and hang!) -CF Quote of the Day: Wish -- To end all the killing in the world Hobbies -- Hunting and fishing

If you haven't heard, Cave Racing is becoming a popular sport among AFOL's on Flickr. See? Those are Cave Racers. They race in caves. What more do I need to say? I myself have jumped on the bandwagon right before if left town. My Cave Racer (I brightened the photo) (Or view it on Brickshelf) (Gallery when public) In case you're wondering about a few things, there are rules. Now, if you didn't feel like clicking that link, I'll tell you what they are before you start bashing some of the elements I included. 1) Spear (Or other pointy object) and wrench (or similar tool) make it fly. 2) The trans-orange studs are its power. 3) The cheese wedges are ribbed for pleasure. 4) Handlebars are needed for steering (duh) It's also good to get a pic of the pilot next to his vehicle. Yep, that's it. I'd like to make some more, like themed for Insectoids and Exploriens, but by the time I get around to it this fad may have already died. I'm surprised I got to this before Arpy. I suspect he's taking his time with a Frog Cave Racer! -CF PS, I wouldn't mind some comments. Not that I care. (I guess I really don't.)

It's good to have AFOL friends. Free Bionicle pieces! (Those are from a 2006 Playset) Also, this past WAMALUG meeting, I finally got my hands on the 2007 City Advent calender. Pretty much for the pieces that come with it. Half off, too, for $12.50. Figs Models Highlights include: About 22 1x1 tiles (!)

First, go forth and post/review, please. Second, I've been thinking about my name. No, I'm not changing my BZP name, I'm talking about the name I'd go buy on those other forums out there I may one day join. Y'see, CF is a little outdated. I chose it back in 4th grade for the Lego web club because I wanted something Harry Potter-ish. Granted, many of you have said you never made the connection until I mentioned it, but I want something for my current obsessions. So, if I go with a Lego themed name, as I'd be joining Lego boards possibly, I'm thinking: -Fikou (Sticking to Bionicle roots. The Fikou is a favorite of mine.) -ChocolateFikou (probably not. It's just weird.) -Tonaku (based of a personal MOC, a favorite, but it's just a random name.) -Exploriens (my favorite space theme. But it's not much of a name.) I'd probably be inclined to go with an anime name, perhaps: -Chronos XIII (Black Cat's designation and number.) -Train (as in Train Heartnet, the Black Cat, my cosplay) -Matarael (An Evangelion Angel. I've MOCed him, so he's one of my favorites. The only problem is he's the weakest Angel. But he has a cool name.) -Ramiel (Another Angel I've MOCed, but his name's not as cool as Matarael's.) I think I'd go with Matarael, because he's cool and has a unique name. I did join a forum and go with "Pohatu," but with this I'll be going to other AFOL places that don't appreciate Bionicle as much, y'know? I'd like your thoughts on this matter. Please just don't post a name and leave. You can tell me what you like about each one. Please keep in mind that I was not totally serious about some of these. -CF Quote of the Day: I used up all my sick days so I am calling in dead.

Apparently they are at some Lego stores. They are also $100 each. But they seem worth it! I want Star Justice, like that'll ever happen. But the Skulls (aka 3vil) is awesome too.

First, I think you'll really enjoy the character I'm making for the Toa of Fire. Think the powers of The Human Torch with the cool, relaxed, and can-do personality, with leadership traits that a Toa of Fire should have, instead of Vakama's lack of confidence of Tahu's attitude problem. This is almost the final MOC of Kapira, the Toa Miru of Fire. Here (Remember this?) He can pretty much do anything with fire, including making a sword for himself. He's just awesome. He can fly around as a being of fire and his entrance into the story is pretty cool. I wish I could give you more but I need to write to be able to develop his character.... But suggestions on the WIP are fine. I think I should add some silver to his vahki legged arms, but I can't use Bohrok eyes as that would require black pins, which I'm out of right now. My brother noted that his name sounds like "pyro." Also, does the "a" at the end sound feminine? Should I make is a "u" so it's "Kapiru"? But I think I'm overusing that oo sound on my MOC names. Here is a WIP picture of the Toa of Stone, weapons pending. Remember this hideous Toa/Hordika hybrid/mutant? That idea's gone, now he's just a bulked up Stone Toa! The Air Toa is made, I need to take pix. The Earth Toa is made and pix are taken, but I need to make him a name. The Ice Toa...well, you've seen half of him. The Water Toa is only a figment of my imagination for now. I need to order a replacement blue double joint, seven stud length. Maybe soon you'll get a "back of the book" (shall we say?) description of my epic and plot. Toa Velox liked it, if that means anything to you. -CF Quote of the Day: It’s my cat’s world, I just open the cans.

A rant on bley. *fears the evil eye from Aanchir* First, IMO. Please keep that statement in mind and remember that this is a blog based on opinions. There will be a rift and void between our ideas, but I think I can back up my opinion and I hope we can all remain friends and enjoy Lego together. Now, as some of you know, I have a certain thing about the Bionicle piece color known as "Bley" or "bluish grey." The color that was introduced with the Metruan arms/joints and the Toa Metru joints. I feel that, frankly from those two character groups, bley came in and took out the other potential color possibilities. Which I why I am saying that bley is an absence of color. In the Toa Metru, Turaga Vakama and Co. had two colors, and then their Toa forms are made and they only have one color. Their other color is bley, being used in their hands and legs, well I'm sure you know. The Metruan also had bley, and I could tell this wasn't the dark grey of Onua and the Rahkshi from before, and I thought it was ugly. So, I didn't like bley because it took up the other color potentials. I mentioned two things: Rahkshi and other color potentials. From other color potentials I mean that there should be more color in Lego sets. Lego is a colorful group, and I don't feel the attraction when there is little color. (Take Kongu Inika for example. I didn't quite like his full dark build. (Save the small bits of silver.)) I wish Vakama had orange joints, Matau had lime, etc. As for the rahkshi, I do remember thinking "why didn't they have orange legs and arms, etc. But I think their dark nature made the dark grey (not ugly dark bley), and the coolness of finally having knees, made up for it. So the Metru, Vahki, and Hordika had bley. I lived with it. I was so happy to see some color in the Visorak! Now, Reidak and Nocturn had bley, but they were black so it was their color (and by then I had realized that Lego had a color change and we weren't getting the old grey back.). So I am fine with Onua Newva probably being black and bley. On Kongu Mahri, I bring back my absence of color. He had bley body parts when he could have had bright green (or something else, but I like bright green). On Maxilos, he has bley vahki legs, which could have been (bright) red instead. More color. Or gunmetal, because that's what he also has and Lego has that color in Vahki legs. So that is why I don't like the Toa Newva's legs and arms, because Lewa should have another color of green (his color), Kopaka should have light bley (because he's had the light grey), and no comment on Pohatu because Lego is changing their Po sets. I don't think the bley helps the Newva at all be colorful and look like good guys. (I really don't like the bley on Lewa. He's a fun, colorful (as in mood) kind of guy and the bley just dampens that. Heck, even gunmetal is shiny, and I though his Inika armor was that at first) As for light bley, it isn't as ugly as dark bley because having light helps bring out color, or at least isn't dark. (Remember, I want more color) I think I can stand bley in most MOCs, for MOCs aren't official Lego stuff and are really creative. Bundaling's Pohatu MOC really proves that. It's inspired me to use bley with other color and make something awesome. If the other colors are used properly. I've seen some good bley things. That's why I don't enjoy bley. In sets. Can't Lego use more color?!?! I'm liking the black on the Phantuka because they are bad guys and black is definitely their color (but I wish Antroz had red legs, because of color) -CF Quote of the Day: Knowledge is power.

Calmly and with detail and points to back yourself up (not "BECAUSE THEY FAIL!") please tell me why people do not like the Toa Nuva's (2002) Kanohi Nuva? I've seen these posts in the past and I want to know what's wrong with them? I like them. Or rather I did, because that was back then. But I still like them today. I guess people don't like them because they're bigger, and have more "detail" or grooves on them. But they certainly give a different personality and more options when MOCing. Spam-ish entries that don't feel like actually discussing this will be deleted/edited. -CF Quote of the Day: If you make a cow laugh does milk come out her nose?

In writing the first chapter of my Epic, I need to figure out some names. (see more epic here) First, I'll deal with character names based on Maori things and whatever pops in my head. Right now I'm using Star Wars characters as placeholders, similar to how GregF used Muppet names at one point. Second, I'd like your opinion on island names. I'd like to have it Mito Nui. This is based of the Mata and Metru names. M for those, I because A and E were used (so it's continuation), T for those islands, and O because E and I didn't work. So I'd like to know if you like that kind of thinking or should I stray from the M's and think up something new and different? (I think I already know the answer.) Third, I'm struggling with village names. I can't use "Le-Koro" or "Ko-Wahi." I looked towards current names for guidance, such as the first two letters from Visorak or Vahki, like Su for Suukorak for the ice terrain or Za for Zadakh for the stone terrain. (But Su is a Krana name and Za is both Krana and Kraata names.) I think I'll go with either the Inika or Toa Metru names. Then I can put a storyline reason behind this. Remember when Matau speculated if the different Metru were named after Vakama and Co.? He said, "Ma-Metru." So why not Ma-Koro for the Air village? Or I could name them after the Inika. The storyline reason would be slightly easier, as legends travel, and no doubt that by this timeframe word would have traveled of the Inika/Mahri's deeds in saving Mata Nui. It could start with wanting to honor the late Matoro, with (coincidentally) Ma-Koro, for the Ice village. Here: Fire___Vakama___Va (But there are the Bohrok-Va) Earth__Whenua___We Ice____Nuju______Ju (not Nu, because Nokama will be...) Water__Nokama___No (don't want to have two "N's," and Ka and Ma don't work. Maybe Ka) Stone__Onewa____Ona (Because One is 1, and On doesn't work) Air____Matau_____Ma or: Fire___Jaller____Ja Earth__Nuparu__Nu Ice___Matoro___Ma Water_Hahli____Ha (Or I could go with Li, so I could use Hew with Hewkii) Stone_Hewkii___Kii (Because Hahli uses the H, and Kii is cool) Air___Kongu___Gu (Because K is taken by Hewkii, and Ko is the term for ice, already used. Other ideas?) Any other ideas? -CF Quote of the Day: All I ask is a chance to prove that money can’t make me happy.

I have succumbed to making yet another page on the Lego.com Club pages. I was around when I had a simple eXtreme Team background and Jet (yellow Slizer) as my main image, with a Technic control panel. That was...8+ years ago! I have no idea what I'm doing here. No, not as in "I'm 18 what am I doing here?" but I don't know what to do. I tried clicking around on people's things, but I wasn't allowed to. A pop up showed a picture and then a "+1" like I needed to spend something to help out somebody else by clicking on their thing. IMO it doesn't make much sense. At least the last one explained things.... Help! If I had you as a friend last time, come find me, because I only remember finding Electric Turahk's page. Maybe xccj, unless I'm mistaken in thinking he had a page. -CF Quote of the Day: If annoyed any further I shall spork your eyes out.

Epic preview! (So...Future) This is not the opening scene, but a flashback for character development that will come a little later. (So...Past) Here is a WIP. Should I keep the Kakama's? The Rahkshi legs, mask and feet are staying. I really want to use the Pridak foot as chest armor. Now then, epic! -CF Over 1000 Years Ago... Toa Koji emerged from the hut of the Ko-Matoran seer. If what the seer had told him, he would have very little time to prepare, but prepare he must. He wasn’t even allowed to tell his Turaga; this was something that was coming and his Turaga was not a part of its plans. The worst part was that it was all a part of destiny, something that can never be changed, Koji knew. Although he couldn’t tell his Turaga the whole story, he could confide in him his deepest feelings and let the Turaga piece the rest together, at least allowing for a little more time. His Turaga would certainly have some words of wisdom. He started to walk over the ice bridge connecting half of his Koro to the outskirts of his Wahi. Koji had already decided he would forget the name of this place, it was no longer important. Ko-Matoran scuffled past him, a look of fear on their faces. So it must have already begun. Koji stopped in the middle of the bridge to look around; a Matoran bumped into his leg then kept on hurrying towards the village. Koji looked up to the top of the iceberg his land rested on. The observatory was being evacuated. Those Matoran must have first seen the oncoming danger. Now the scientists were warning the Matoran to flee from the unescapable. This iceberg was only a portion of the entire island his Toa team protected, it having rubbed against the shore of the Ga-Matoran’s village and stuck there, and the bridge connected it to a desert of ice. They had been a good Toa team for the past millennia or so, protecting their Wahi’s separately from small skirmishes against Rahi and protecting their island together from more sentient, evil beings. Yes, thought Koji, they certainly exemplified the virtues of Duty and Unity. And now it is time for Destiny. As he kept walking over the bridge, a Matoran slipped and lost his footing. The next thing Koji knew, the Matoran was falling over the edge and towards the icy cold river that ran from a Ga-Matoran lake. Without hesitating, Koji jumped off the bridge and took out his ice sword. With a swift, fluid movement, he commanded ice to rise from below to grow and embrace the Matoran. Another swift movement and the Matoran was sliding into Koji’s arms. He activated his Kanohi Miru, the Mask of Levitation, and the two of them traveled back up to the bridge together. As he set the Matoran down, he gave him a look that told him to be more careful. The Matoran ran off after a moment of recovering from the shock, barely having said “thank you” to Koji. Koji made it to the other side of the bridge with no problem. He could see Turaga Otom leading the remaining Matoran towards the bridge. Otom realized Koji was near and beckoned for him to come to his Amaja Circle. “Turaga,” Koji started to say, but Otom held up a hand for silence. “Place the crystal next to the grey stones,” Otom said. He could not do this himself, being blind. When there were not others around to help him, he relied his movement on the very disciplined practice of using his Kanohi Akaku, the Noble Masks of Vision. Koji did as instructed. “You see how there are more foes approaching and surrounding the island?” Otom asked. “Yes,” was Koji’s reply. Otom swung his staff at the Amaja Circle, knocking over the crystal. “That is what will become of this island.” Koji said nothing, thinking to himself. “I know the legends; don’t think I’m a fool. Today is this island’s last day of life. What is coming is nothing anyone expected except the star readers.” “Turaga, isn’t there something I can do?” Otom nodded his head. “Yes, you must fight the on comers. Your fellow Toa have assembled in the Ga-Matoran village. The Matoran will fight, but the only ones that will survive are the ones that follow the Turaga’s orders to follow them to safety, if that is even a possibility. Goodbye, Koji, Toa of Ice.” Otom held up a fist, and Koji bumped it. The Turaga stood up straight and began walking towards the ice bridge. Once Koji could no longer see him, he took the sapphire rock from the side of the Amaja Circle and stuck it inside with the others, dispersing the grey ones. “I will not become a legend today.” "But today I will not be the one falling, even if my island does." Koji stood up. The snow that always seemed to be falling had stopped. He looked out over his Wahi, a dark cloud seemingly on the horizon. Less than a day away. He started running the way he had come. Not out of fear, but to gather speed. He then threw his shield on the ground and jumped on it, sliding over the snow and ice towards the bridge. Right at the base, he turned slightly to jump off. This sent him over the edge and down a snowy bank. Using his sword, he created an ice path as he traveled. He didn’t slow down until he saw his fellow Toa ahead, waiting. The Toa of Fire looked at him. Koji nodded. “Let’s do this.” They traveled and met up with their attackers before sundown. It was on the desert side of the island, a plain with nowhere to hide and duck for cover, but Toa didn’t do that anyway. What was ahead of them was the weirdest thing they had ever seen in their time together. A swarm of Bohrok and zyglak. As the zyglak had a deep loathing to the Bohrok, what the two were doing together was beyond anyone’s wildest thoughts. But these zyglak seemed to not be spreading their toxic, organic tissue-eating plague with them, or the Bohrok would have been dead some time ago, and the mist would have already reached the Toa. The Toa drew their weapons and took a battle stance. On came their attackers. It was a Bohrok who attacked first, a Lehvak firing acid from its shield. This just scraped the Toa of Stone’s armor, but he was tough enough to not show any pain he was experiencing. With that, he picked up a stone and kicked it right into the middle of the army, toppling quite a few foes. The zyglak just made a scream and jumped at the Toa. Immediately the Toa of Fire was taken down. Not good, for seeing their leader fall distracted the Toa for just a moment, enough time for a few Bohrok to rain down. A Pahrak jammed his shield into the Po-Toa’s waist, then snapped its head forward, breaking the Toa’s neck. Koji was, of course, not watching all this. He was doing a pretty good job at warding off some zyglak and Tahnok with his ice, cooling the Bohrok of Fire off and shattering frozen zyglak. So far he wasn’t even breaking a sweat. The Toa of Water had already fallen, her water and Toa tools no match for a combination of Lehvak acid and specially hardened Nuhvok earth. To finish her off, the Nuhvok’s shields punched right through her while the zyglak clawed off her mask. To make matters worse, the army was moving around the Toa, starting to make their way forward again. The Toa of Earth saw this and tunneled underground some. He emerged and triggered his Kanohi Huna, turning invisible infront of the zyglak and Bohrok, but they just trampled right over him despite his fight. Koji was back to back with his Le-Toa brother. “How you coming along?” asked Koji? “These Skakdi-brains aren’t so tough-strong,” was the reply, as he swung his forestaff around to knock a few more Bohrok out of the way. Upon doing so, a zyglak grabbed the end and pulled him into a circle of Bohrok. Koji could only watch. Koji eyed the remaining zyglak and Bohrok stare Koji, slowly approaching their last target. Koji would not lose to the likes of some simple minded creatures that felt like outnumbering a team of Toa. He jumped and triggered his Kanohi, hovering over the swarm. He was about to try something he had only heard the Ta-Turaga speak of. He had called it a Nova Blast. Koji focused all his power into his element. Calling upon all the chill around him, he could feel the power of Ice being drawn into his body. He looked down, his attackers had long since stopped staring at him and were now worried about themselves, for the temperature all around must have been raised up some thousand degrees, growing hotter as the cold was drawn out of it and into Koji’s body. The zyglak were going mad and the Krana could do nothing to stop their Bohrok shells from cringing and almost melting at the heat. Until he could no longer take it, the cold seeped into Koji’s body. Now it was time to end this battle that had taken his brothers and sister away from him. Almost without thinking, he released Ice. It went everywhere. He could feel it coming from his body, out in every direction. He focused it at the Bohrok and zyglak, though they were already frozen, and wiped them out. If there was anything left of them by the time the island thawed, no one would know what the remains were. It was over. The Nova Blast had done its job. The Bohrok and zyglak were mere ice cubes now, and the entire island was now a chunk of ice. As for Koji, he had been wrapped up in an ice cocoon and had passed out. He dropped onto the island and slid off towards the coast, making a splash in the water before the waves led him to a new destiny.

I built this after being inspired by Eric Sophie's ZRX2. It's not my best work, so I'm not posting it, but it was fun to make. Plus, it barely stands up. I bought 20+ technic/Bionicle balls just for this. I also made this in LDD. It requires forty 1x3 curved slopes in black. That'll cost me about $10 from you-know-where (once I add in shipping and other random pieces.) But I'm pretty much out of money, so I won't get to make this in time for a display in April. Maybe I'll come back to it during the summer. -CF Quote of the Day: "Why girls are better than boys: Our friends don’t say hello to us by punching us in the arm." Disclaimer: I find my quotes randomly where I can. I'm a boy. This quote is funny though. Plus, personally, I don't like hitting my friends in the arm. Do people even do that anymore, or is this quote outdated?

Indeed yes. I've been planning a MOC project for a while, inpired by goodness knows what about...um...5 months ago? Anyway, it's a team of Toa...but hopefully, they'll be very different to the Toa we all know and love hate. Because these are Toa from the far future. Or something like that, anyway. So far, I've built two of them. They're not crazy awesome, by any means. Not 120% custom, because I'm trying to create a Toa team that has a generally cool look, as opposed to the most technically advanced MOCs ever. I think. I'm not showing them until they're all finished, but I'll tease bore you with a piece of amazing useless information: one of them has a gun. In a nice way. Possibly. Perhaps. Maybe not... -Seran
