Allow me to express my complete ignorance as to the actual nature of this band that seems to be latching onto Bionicle. Free the band! They're being held prisoner in an underwater jail system run by sea cucumbers! What, you don't believe me?

Considering people's initial reactions to the Inika, they're selling amazingly well ... I was at Target yesterday, and all they had were three Kongu, two Hahli, Jaller, and a couple Matoro. And when I left, they were down to only one Hahli. :: Toa Hahli :: :: Gallery :: Although I've had her since yesterday afternoon, I refrained from building her until this morning to wait for full light to properly admire her. She looks best in direct sunlight, which causes her blue to light up and become much brighter than normal, in which instance it looks totally awesome with her white. Otherwise her whole body looks dark, and the white stands out, but she still looks great. The blended white-dark blue pieces look fantastic – and I was lucky enough to get a set where almost all six blends were very neat, fading from one to the other without being swirled all over. This combination also evokes poetic descriptions, like an arctic ocean or a white-capped wave, or perhaps the blue ocean against white sands, all of which suit Hahli very well. I have only a few gripes with Hahli, and these are because of who she is, not her set. Firstly, the extremely broad shoulders of the Inika don't work at all on Hahli, as females generally have narrower shoulders. Secondly, her armor color. Iron grey is a great color, but it's the most bellicose of the standard three metallic colors, and it brings out the darkness of Hahli's primary color. Silver would have been more peaceful and more fitting for Hahli. Thirdly, that harpoon of hers looks deadly, again much more warlike than the peaceful, shy Hahli we know and love (Mask of Light excluded.) But these elements all come together for a very powerful, intimidating design, looking about ready to take on and defeat the Piraka singlehandedly. But even with this image, you can still find feminine elements from the right angle – the narrow waist, slim upper arms (from the front, at least), and proper posing can bring out her hips. The Kanohi Elda, however, is somewhere in between. It looks different from each angle, with thin, round cheeks, but then it has a prominent jaw and chin. The breathing tubes don't look anything like a mustache in person, and they further emphasize that this is a Toa of Water. The mouth looks surprisingly natural despite its high placement on the mask (which results in it being pale green rather than pure white), and I personally think it looks good despite my initial aversion to it. Hahli does look awesome, and even more so with a blue light-up blade and Zamor. Why Lego chose green is beyond me – blue is the obvious color for a water elemental, and combined with silver armor it would look even more like Hahli. But we can always switch the colors – I've rather fallen in love with the green light-up in Kongu's energy crossbow. I also like the pale green of Hahli's Zamor, but the pictures slightly alter the light-up color: it's more of a yellowy green in real life, but the pictures make it look bluer. She looks even better with the blue, though. :: :: – ToM (Hahli fanboy)

My Sidorak set officially died yesterday. The obituary will probably print that it was of a long illness. Roodaka will doubtlessly claim credit and dramatically announce that she murdered him. In truth, however, he was sacrificed to the gods of MOCing, in the tradition of which various nonvital portions of his anatomy (and his nose) were cast into the swirling vortex of pieces over the past year. If you need someone to blame, it's probably Vakama. He will be buried amid the pieces strewn about my bedroom floor.

Conspiracy theory #204: the Brotherhood of Makuta is actually good. And no, I don't have the slightest shred of evidence to support this. But I can explain everything! Really! (Well, almost. Not Mata Nui. Help?) ——— • The Order of Mata Nui and Brotherhood of Makuta are secretly allies. • Their common enemy is the Dark Hunters. • In order to conceal the identity of the destined Toa Metru, Mata Nui changed the stars to show that Nuhrii & Co. would become Toa. The Order then planted evidence to support this, and Makuta revealed the identity of the true Toa (Vakama & Co.) to Lhikan in a dream, so that they would be safe until they became Toa. • Makuta, knowing of the Dark Hunters' desire to capture the strategically-located city of Metru Nui, takes the place of Turaga Dume to maintain a watch on the city. • Makuta summons Nidhiki and Krekka to Metru Nui to capture Lhikan, thus turning the new Toa Metru adamantly against the Dark Hunters. • By killing Nidhiki and Krekka, Makuta not only increases his own power but causes the Shadowed One and Sentrakh to come to Metru Nui. When Makuta fought them and revealed that he had killed the two Dark Hunters, he singlehandedly instigated the Brotherhood-Dark Hunter war. • This war distracted the Dark Hunters while the Matoran (whom Makuta had put into the spheres for their protection) relocated to Mata Nui. • When the Piraka set out to find the Mask of Life, the Order rearranged the stars to tell of Mata Nui's imminent death and the Ignika, causing Dume to send the Toa Nuva to find the mask, keep it from the Piraka, and eventually bring it to Mata Nui to guard it. • Around the time of the Toa-Dark Hunter war, the Brotherhood pretended to turn to evil. By acting as having the same motives and desires as the Dark Hunters, they gained greater power and influence over them and could buy such services as eliminating enemies of the Matoran, perceived as rivals of the Brotherhood. • This act caused such servants of the Brotherhood as the Toa Hagah to rebell. The Brotherhood let them steal the Avohkii to be eventually placed in a safer spot on Metru Nui, where it would be better hidden. At the same time, the Brotherhood sent truly evil servants of theirs such as Roodaka to mutate the Toa Hagah, both turning them against Roodaka and the Visorak and inspiring them to search for Keetongu. If the Rahaga found Keetongu, they would be better armed against the Visorak, who were in the control of Sidorak, who actually was evil. • Although the Visorak takeover of Metru Nui was against the actual plan of the Brotherhood's, the Rahaga's presense there helped the Toa Hordika against them. Similarly, Roodaka's devotion to Makuta resulted in him being freed when she was attacked by the Hordika. • Throughout all this, the Order remained secret and unknown to the general universe. Because the Brotherhood was perceived as being evil, it gave the two greater cover to do good in secret, and thus without being attacked, as nobody knew there was such an organization to try and stop. IT'S A CONSPIRACY. (And for Mata Nui's sake, don't take any of this too seriously.) – ToM

Well, I have my new epic posted now, you shoud read it cause it's awesome. Metroid: The Bionicle Mission - Review Topic However my canister count has started to rise... yes I have two of the Inika, Matoro and Hahli. Let's just say they are awesome. Hahli looks like shes from the 70's with that color effect on her pieces. Anywho, I'm happy. Huzzah for 103 canister sets! Kohaku, that dude who has just about every Bionicle set...

I'm sure that you now notice that I have a blog. This is because today is BZP's 5th anniversary! YAY! This means I get Premier Member abilities for as long as the anniversary lasts. However, the anniversary lasts for a week, so I can only use these abilities for a limited amount of time....unless I re-new my Premier Membership, which I am un-able to do at the moment. Anyways, enough about that. Time for what happened so far today. Today, I got Toa Hewkii in the mail! This isn't the first Inika I bought, because last week I bought Toa Jaller. Toa Hewkii is absolutly awesome. It took me a while to figure out how to put together the chain links, but the chain give Hewkii some originality, which is good. I tried to combine both Inika together, but with fruitless results. I need one more Inika in order to make a working Kaita Inika. I'm gonna try and get Toa Nuparu tomorrow, when I have enough money. I only need $1.08 to get him offline. Fortunatly, I'm gonna get a paycheck for last week today at my job. More on that next time. Well, that's all for now. I have to get back to schoolwork soon. See ya later. Mecha-Tahu Inika Leet removed. See here. Be warned-- nearly a proto violation.

Well, after seeing the Inika up-close (thanks to Darnz and ToM! ), I've decided that they really don't look all that bad. They're just another set of Bionicle sets. And I only have one problem with them -- the head. Light-up or not, those things are neon-green blobs. And they used those same neon-green blobs for all of the Inika. Those neon-green blobs do not fit in with the rest of their color schemes. They look awful, IMO. That is all. Oh wait -- in other news, I have a lot to update the Spam Museum with, so if you don't see your contribution there yet, don't worry -- it'll be up in time. - Onuki

Well, I did some shopping with my mom today. Still no Toa Inika by me yet... There is a reason I'm not a big fan of Wal-Mart. It takes them a month to two months to get new Bionicle sets. I never did get me a golden Piraka spine. It would be great for mocing. Speaking of mocing, I'm thinking of entering the new BBC #37. I've all ready got an Idea. Think Space Pirate. If anyone can guess what game that Idea is from, they get a cookie. Kohaku

I finally got Bionicle Legends#1 and Bionicle Legends#2. And I must admit, they were some of the best out of the bionicle series I have ever read. I must admit, that Greg wrote them well. I don't know of anyone who could have done better. I have also created a few theories about the Piraka and Makuta... As well as out friend the Karzahni and a possible Bionicle storyline in the future that is hinted to. Or so I think, In the realm of Bionicle anything is possible. Sadly, I'm too tired to type it all up now. So, I will tomorrow, and when I do I'll post a link to the topic here because you never know... I might be on to something. Kohaku

Well, today is the day that I will hopefully get the Bionicle Legends books. I have all of the Bionicle Adventures and Chronicles so I'm excited about this. I might also get one of the guide books but I forgot which ones have come out in the last few months. Which guide book is the best of the more recent ones? Also, before I forget the Metroid epic is being delayed by one day, I'm not satisfied having the chapter end where it is, I need more of a cliffhanger. Well, I'm off to my Animal Crossing town to go online via the Nintendo Wifi Connection. I'll post what books I get later. Kohaku

I was just noticing today how much I miss the old Bionicle. Maybe its just because I've been around since it started and still long for the adventures of the original Toa, or maybe I've lost interest in the story since it became too complex, it could even be that I've gone crazy, but I still like the old mysteries of Bionicle, many of which were never answered. Hopefully the new story line will bring back some of the mystique that the story has been lacking since the deluge into Metru Nui history. I think that the biggest reason that I didn't care for Metru Nui was that the whole story had happened a thousand years ago, none of it made any impact on the characters that we had all come to love. It seemed especially meaningless that the Turaga could have summed up the whole story in one sitting, but instead wasted countless meetings telling the Toa stories of their glory days. While this was an obvious ploy by LEGO to drag out the story and sell more sets it would have been nice to have some story justification other than there was nothing better for the Toa to do while on break from building boats then to listen to the Turaga tell them a bunch of useless information. The biggest slap in the face though was when LEGO ditched the old Toa that many of us old fans had been eagrly waiting to see return in favor of a totally new team of Toa. I wouldn't mind if LEGO just dumped the original Toa for new ones, but when they pretend that they're appeasing fans of the classic Toa by sticking them on the same island where the big events of this year are going on and having them do nothing it just bothers me. Either dump them or give them bigger roles. Seeing the old Toa get creamed by the Piraka is another thing that really, really bugs me. It doesn't seem right that they should get beat so bad after all their experience fighting countless enemies on Mata Nui. Them getting beat also causes the Metru Nui saga to lose even more merit. All the lessons the Turaga taught them while telling them about Metru Nui's past didn't help them one bit against the Piraka. The feeling is akin to seeing your childhood superheros getting beat up by some ridiculously pumped up baddie, only to have some new guys that you've never heard of show up and rescue them, destroying the baddie with the ease that you feel the original team should have had. Anyway thanks for listing to my rant guys. With any luck I won't have another for a while. Dulon

Recognize that console? I'm sure if you haven't figured it out before you now know I'm a huge fan of Lost... well, I'm not one of those people that decodes every little hint and writes tons and tons of detail on what it could all mean -- I save that for Bionicle. But the show is just awesome. That season finale, man, that rocked! What I love about Lost is the mystery of it (as well as the coolness...). Sometimes I wonder if they borrowed half their ideas from Bionicle -- the idea of a mysterious island with this mechanical-sounding monster... that ends up looking like an arm of black smoke... Makuta anyone? Not to mention the Hatch that contains civilization... underground. Plus Cathy Hapka is writing a Lost book. Of course, this is all coincidence -- these are really things that tie in with mystery itself. The concept of the Hatch (what is in it?), the concept of the button (what happens if it isn't pressed every 108 minutes?), the concept of the monster (what is it?), and the Others (who are they exactly?) -- all major themes of Lost. We know a lot more about some of them now, especially the first and second, but still, mystery is involved. Mystery is one of my favorite elements of a story. It's what keeps S&T thriving with theories about Bionicle, it's what enabled Bionicle to open up a whole new world of coolness with Metru Nui, it was the theme I asked about in one of my favorite topics (The Mysterious Feel -- What Creates it? -- Don't post there. He's dead, Jim.), and it's the number one thing I try hard to make my fanfics about. The Bionicle Paracosmos was originally just my random roleplaying with sets back in 2001. The whole story of The Sword Is But The Focus was largely invented that long ago, played with my very first Bionicle set, Kopaka. That was back before I'd even heard of BZP, and back when I assumed I would never participate in those weird online forum thingies. When I discovered BZP I always tossed around the idea of doing my own fanfics based on my original imagined stories--I consider myself first and foremost a writer. I've always hoped that someday I might get published, and I've even got an entire world and series planned out that I want to do that with eventually. So I wanted to treat these fanfics very seriously; as practice for the "real thing." But I came to beleive I could not do it unless I had some deep, core mystery to base it all around... and then build more and more layers of mystery on that. Somehow I seized on the concept of an alternate timeline story, that tries to be literally an alternate timeline, the Paracosmos. One of only two "real" timelines, and this one should not exist. It only exists because of "The Event," and somehow, it mirrors the official timeline, yet builds on it, deviates in places. And I've got the entire backstory, the big secrets, and the general story arc planned out now. My main goal with these stories is to keep a level of mystery throughout the series, up until the spectacular end. Along the way the Toa and Matoran discover the mysteries along with the reader -- even the Turaga are clueless about the deep secrets. Levels upon levels of mystery. That's that goal. It's easier said than done though. I know all the answers to my story; I cannot read my story the way readers do, seeing something as a mystery to myself rather than a clue I'm planting, and being able to revel in its mysteriousness. For that I absolutely depend on my readers -- you guys say when you think a chapter is mysterious, and so far it seems I've kept that up well, slowly revealing the answers while opening up new ones, all the while with rocking action and the best characterization I know how to do. The story I'm in the middle of posting now, Agents of Surrender, is one of my favorites, and it is very mysterious because you guys don't know what the hidden enemy is -- by the end of it you will know at least part of it. Currently I'm putting off work on the RPG a bit so I can write the next epic, which delves in more deeply into this enemy, the history of an important one, and Kopaka's struggle to deal with the enemy's attacks. The action, to me at least, is exhilerating. But this is a story where for the first time I'm attempting what Bionicle did with Metru Nui -- I first begin to explain some of the background and details about one of my big mysteries. It's uncharted territory for me as a writer, and it's a constant struggle to avoid giving away too much too fast, yet not confuse the reader. There are mysteries, that's for sure. For one, Bhukasa, the non-Matoran guy you met in the bonus episode, shows up for the first time chronologically, and beleive me, I'm not telling you guys a thing about his past yet. There are deeper levels to the plans of the hidden enemy that are not revealed. But how to emphasize the mystery of all this and make that enjoyable in and of itself? Tough thing to do, especially since as the one who knows the answers I'm "writing blind." Which is why I am so thankful for stories like Lost and Bionicle. They allow me as a writer to see through the eyes of readers in a way. I know as little about the deep secrets behind them as yall know about the Paracosmos. It's an invaluable resource. I'm not active in the Lost community, but I obviously am in the Bionicle one. That topic I made about the Myterious Feel shows that a lot of people have big disagreements over what is mysterious and what is not. I and many others found Metru Nui very mysterious, because even as old, lingering questions were answered, about ten more popped up alongside it. Others found the fact that anything was answered at all ruined mystery for them. This year of course, we've got probably the most mysterious island in Bionicle yet, other than the fact that Mata Nui being the first made it seem more mysterious than it was, and yet some complaints have already been put forth that it's not mysterious enough. Mystery seems a very hard fish to catch and keep caught. It's slippery because by its very nature we don't understand it. The best we can do is try, and learn from other stories... I hope that as you Paracosmos fans are led deeper into the "Classified Information" you enjoy my attempt!

Bionicle Collecting Has Slowed For Me, But...
Kopaka Nuva Toa of Ice posted a blog entry in blogs_blog_40
My bionicle collecting has slowed down, I got a piraka, but thats it till the Inika. Guess what, remember my mention of Misprints last entry? well I got them all on ebay, they are yet to arive, but I can't wait. -
At this very Moment (2:38 to be exact) my Mom placed a (surprisingly) small parcel from Israel into my hand, I immediatly (though it was hard going) ripped it apart and admired the $150 worth of rare bionicle masks that were in a medium zip lock bag (and are now siting in the bag which might not ever open due to rareness on my computer desk) and I now think of how fortunate I am to own these, I am sure that no more than 100 people own a full set, prove me wrong, and another thing is that I am not even that much of a collector, so this is special.

Glow, Light Up, Light... What Will They Think Of.
Kopaka Nuva Toa of Ice posted a blog entry in blogs_blog_40
Well, as you know, Lego has made Glow in the dark peices, light up lightsabers, Memory card, hard drives, programable Flash drive, and now I saw an exoforce set with lights, what will they think of next to go in a brick? A power generator (or is that with lego trains ). What do you think? -
Now you can win some misprints, that person I bought them from has put up even more, See them Here for the auction before it's to late!! KToI

Power Play, Inika Release Dates, And Bionicle.com
Sidorak the Feared posted a blog entry in blogs_blog_47
Okay, let's start with topic #1: Power Play and it's release. Okay, to start things off, I'm eagerly awaiting the release of BIONICLE Legends #3: Power Play, though I still think it's released to early. The last book, Dark Destiny, was released but a month ago. The book-stores selling it should have waited a little bit longer. At this rate, we'll know the end of the year by October or November! The spoilers so far are were interesting, yet we aren't aloud to discuss them. If you happened to see them, you know what I'm talking about. Some of them were. . . odd. But most were cool. (This topic was majorly shortened by the fact that I removed the spoilers, as they were aloud before the "I have Power Play!" topic was aloud. . . this was a draft before it was closed) Okay, second topic: Inika release dates. So we are so far leading into June with nothing, I mean NOTHING about the end of the year! Wow, this is the year that we are actually going to be surprised on it's ending! But, once again, the set's are going to be released two months before release date. . . again. "We will put the Inika on shelves June 6th" Says many TRU managers. Also, there's talk of the Inika being at either S@H or LEGOLand June 18th, but I don't believe that. Though, if the Inika are being sold early elsewhere, wouldn't you think it'd be better for sales to release them at the same time on S@H? I won't get them from TRU early, though. Since I won the Piraka Fusion Contest, I've got $100 dollars worth of LEGO. The Inika and the Titans add up perfectly to $93.94! Woot! And the third and final topic: BIONICLE.com and it's updates. For an "official website", BIONICLE.com doesn't update to much . The first update in like a month was the Titan ads. Hopefully this means they'll be on LEGOshop.com pretty soon too! The Inika Online Game (IOLG) looks promissing. I hope they really do release it this summer, not prevent it even longer! It'll be cool to play as each Toa Inika, though it doesn't look like it's in the same format as MNOLG or MNOLG II. What's with the little spots everywhere for LEGO bricks I donno; possibly just to make it look more "LEGO-ish". Also, the "Matoran Escape" game looks cool. Hopefully it'll have the same controls as Piraka Attack, since that was easy to play. And that concludes the third installment to BLOGGED. StF, signing out Oh, BTW, congrats Teox and Seranikai for being the monthly winners! -
