I'm cleaning my room, and I was picking all the Lego sets and MOCs out of the pieces that litter my floor, and I put Strakk, Gelu, and Kopaka Phantoka next to each other on my night stand, just until I can get to the shelf where I display my sets. Kopaka Phantoka makes my eyes hurt when standing next to the other two. So Gelu isn't that bad, I guess. Still bland, but not actively hideous. >_> ~Bunda

Also my mom is currently singing "Getting to Know You" in the kitchen. Oh yeah, and Stronius to. Quick facts! Gelu: Blah. The only reason I got him was 'cause there was a fluke at Wal Mart and all the Legends were 11.50 instead of 14.90 something, like they usually are, and like the other Glatorian were. Mask is nice. Snowflakes are k. Recolored chest is pretty. I finally have some white toed-Inika feet. The blades are larger and cooler than expected. But overall? Pretty blah. He's a basic Inika build, but doesn't do it so elegantly as Ackar. Oh, his mask is really cool too. The main draw of this set is the beautiful new pieces, but the overwhelming ehhhhh of the rest of the set kind of cancels the coolness out. Get Ackar if you want a nice Inika, and Strakk if you want a cool ice dude. Stronius: Similar to Strakk, actually. Whereas Strakk is a lithe ice troll, Stonius is a hulking stone troll. With a club. B) There isn't anything stupendously wrong with Stronius (assuming you moved his armor up one stud), so I'll nitpick. Feet could be better. I think Mantax's would have been nice, though they might not have had that spikey look, so maybe these are the best after all. Upper arms need -something-. A Metru leg armor piece would do the job nicely. Unlike Strakk, Stronius doesn't look good with his neck extended, but that's a matter of posing, nothing wrong with the set there. So yeah. Stronius is cool. Gelu is a bit blah. And before you ask, no, I am not getting Vastus. I refuse. Oh yeah update on the MOC front (no, I am not MOCing Front). Bink is moving along, got the body done, and the legs need just a bit of tweaking. I foresee a painful build on the arms and head, though. I still need to find the Puffin Chunks™. ~Bunda EDIT: I forgot to mention that Stronius has a hideous gap in his torso. From the front, it's invisible, but from the side... it's pretty huge. Much worse than Mata Nui's tiny one that everyone complains about. Maybe the same as Gresh, but I don't have him so I can't compare. It doesn't ruin the set by any means, but it doesn't help, either.

I like all the purple, but otherwise, meh. ~Bunda

Just got it for 35 bucks. That's about $18 off it's usual price, here. I was gonna get Stronius too, but eh. I'll just get him next time I got to Wal Mart. I'm gonna go take a shower then build it. OH YEAH and I'm still looking for the following Ditto. If you have one, I'll trade you any level 1 non-legendary. Hasty Naive Quirky Rash And I'm getting an event Regigigas (cloned, legit) tonight... for an Azumarill! Seriously, this guy has some weird obsession with Azumarill. I already got an event Shaymin from him for one. O_o ~Bunda

Over THAR etc etc. Also Tarix sucks. BtB

Seriously. Also: Ooooooooh noooooooo why didn't anyone tell me Takanuva was on sale? I've been waiting for a Taka sale since he came out and now it's sold out. ;_; Ohwait nvm he's on sale at WalMart.com. I must get him along with those Glatorian I don't have... BtB

But not really. I really enjoyed reading Raid on Vulcanus. One of the better Bionicle books. If the movie is as good as the preview chapter in the back, it'll be great. BtB

I just ordered it, along with the 624 page guide to Pokemon Platinum. BtB

>_> I actually kind of want to see the movie after that preview. BtB

Why is Vorox marked NEW? BtB

I just got an orange Komau, gold Kaukau, silver Akaku, and the Ultimate Dume Helmet in the mail. Problem is, I didn't realize I'd finalized the trade, so I haven't sent off my orange Vahi yet... I hope he isn't upset... UDH is awesome. BtB

Vastus' hand is backwards. BtB

I just learned that cordite is a kind of explosive (on Freerice), so I guess that's where the name Cordak came from. Has this been realized yet? Is it even worth realizing? BtB

So Lego won't make Lord of the Rings or Halo sets due to violence and scariness, but they'll make Indiana Jones, SW ep III, and Harry Potter sets? Ehhhhh? One of the sets is about a scene in which Indy cold-bloodedly murders someone, and another is about a burn victim who's missing half his face, being reassembled. LOVELY BTW is this builder on BZP? I was salivating over his stuff earlier. BtB

I got him a couple days ago. He's kk. The mask had to grow on me, and the prongs on the sides still kinda bother me, but... meh. He's just alright for me. I prefer Strakk. Ohyeah, today I went on a free homeschoolers whale watching boat thing. No one saw any whales, but we saw a couple dolphins. For like... five seconds. It was still fun to be tossed around on the boat; it was rough today. Well, I'm off to the chinchilla protest! play Mass Effect! BtB

Today I got a few pieces of big black paper. I wanted to test them out, so... yeah, I need to find some better settings. >_> Still, it'll help with taking pics of brightly colored MOCs. Looks better than the white paper, anyway. Vorox and Zesk Strakk BtB

Lego's trying to steal my money this year. Sets that are must-get include: Gresh, Vorox, Tarduk, Ackar, Stronius, Gelu, Mata Nui, and Home One. When I saw pics of Home One I was like "It's a trap!" and it succeeded. I was trapped by the pics and now I must buy that set. BtB

Last night I has a bizarre thought out of the blue: What if someone told the saga of Bionicle in the form of humoros anime? I lol'd so hard at some of the thoughts I just had to go write them down. XD In the form of doodles. >_> Which you will never see. Also: Master Chief's butt is on all wrong! Pics later I promise. Blarhg. BtB

First off... purple? O_o And some quick first thoughts, spoiler'd in case. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «Mata Nui: Preety. Basically all that bothers me is the super short upper legs. Ackar: So much my favorite. Pretty much all that I don't like is the bley and the silver hilt. Either make the hilt all silver or make it all some other color. I'll be ordering this one and Mata Nui ASAP. Stronius: Mask is awesome. Cool and bulky and the club is awesome. Much better than the first Skrall, IMO. I'll get him at some point. Vastus: I LOVE the mask, and the arms, but the body and legs fail hard. I may get him only for the mask. A revamp is in order. Gelu: Decent. Some nice recolors and such, and I never got those feet. Generic, but doesn't pull it off as well as Ackar. Kiina: I'm glad Lego tried to make a custom torso in a canister, but... well... it didn't work well IMO. Limbs are cool, mask is... I need more pics. Body is gross but at least it's shoulders aren't so wide. I hope the final version is better. Some good recolors. Currently at the bottom of my list, next to Vastus. The big sets hardly warrant a review. Thornatus looks the best now, but that mask is so butt ugly. It nearly ruins it. I'll be buying the canister sets first, anyway. BtB

Someone just offered me $300 for my BBC prize. >_< BtB

Icarax doesn't deserve a place in the title. Zesk: I opened Zesk first and built him in approximately a minute. He's fun and cute, but if you're an MOCer you may want to pass him up. He has hardly any useful parts. Strakk: I like him. He looks very Fantasy, and Bionicle is a Fantasy story, is it not? The goblin-ish face, the elemental feel and the giant ax combine to make an interesting set. His body leaves a little something to be desired. His pelvic thrust (O_o) and crooked back make posing awkward. Couple that with the icy shoulders and he's quite hard to pose. The shoulders don't really inhibit movement, rather, they allow too much. There's more space between them and the arms than is needed and it makes him look weird. All the same I like him. The Thornax is nice and unobtrusive, and, IMO, he looks better for a launcher than worse. Icarax: sux. Nice pieces though. BtB Edit: BTW new plastic in joints seems a bit better, even though as soon as I built Strakk his legs were loose. =/ At least you can't literally see through the joints like on Ignika...
