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

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?

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

To start things off yesterday I counted my Bionicle Canisters... the number is 101. That is a lot of Bionicle canister sets! It does help that I have 20 Rahkshi. How many do you guys have? Well, today I've had a rather insane day. Let's see my brother came over and he has four sons... all of which wanted to play my GameCube... not to mention they were amazed by the amount of Bionicle sets I have. As well as the canisters... And then there is the fact that my room was kind of destroyed... good thing I didn't have my unfinished Ninjo moc for the BBC in it. That would have been a disaster. I'm hoping to finish it tonight. Also, I'm planning to add stuff to my blog... just what, well... you'll have to wait and see. Kohaku

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

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! -
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.

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. -
Some stuff that might intrest readers: Questions regular. Answers bold. Comments italicized. Here they are. -Canama

I hope that the Turaga Lhikan set, Munchkin Piraka ( ) set, and bug set are avalible in the U.S. . I really want the sets and peices. If they're not sets or not avalable in the U.S. ( ), I'll be upset. I hope they come out in the U.S.! 4.5 YEAR LATER EDIT: Waaaaaaaat 4.5 YEAR LATER EDIT AGAIN: Also I can't count -Canama

New! Important points are in bold for the casual readers!!! Okay, so i was looking at BZPower's hot topics just now, and I find this one: Click here, i'm making this link really long so that you can definately see it. Now i didn't want to post this there, because, well, i wanted to blog =P here we go: ----I remember a time when i would force my mom to run out to the store whenever a new bionicle came out. I don't really seem to do that anymore. It's not that I'm losing interest in bionicle (built a sniper Piraka today), it's just that as I'm getting older (okay, closer to 18, so what) i'm realizing that life just goes by too fast. Some things are just worth the wait. Now don't get me wrong, I am gonna be first in the line in front of Best Buy when the Wii (still hate that name) comes out. But like lego, i'm not worrying about nintendo running out of stock before i get there. It's not that they're not super-cool, it's that, well, honestly, I don't live in a city with many LEGO or Nintendo fanboys/fangirls. Honestly, i can't think of a single person at my school who owns a GameCube. But back on point: -------------Life goes by too fast to need instant gratification. Sometimes the waiting is the best part ;-) Thoughts? opinions? all welcome!!! ~Giganuva Upsilon <-- not bolded, not important. (me: Wait, what?!) Oh!!! How do you guys like that shield up there? pretty tight, huh? i'm thinking of multiple uses for those all-purpose boxes (heh heh heh....)
