I don't know why, but I feel a sudden urge to buy my favorite character off eBay for some reason...

Keetongu...

I remember that before SZ left for a while, he was bored with his MOCing style. Now he infected me.... I feel like I want to forget everything I learned and start over.... But at the same time, I don't..... Why did you do this to me, SZ? Actually, it hasn't been SZ's fault. I guess it's been coming from a lot of places. Shine and DV to name two. *Asplodes* -K-

Working with Keet orange is very difficult for the lack of pieces, but I have finaly pulled off something very impressive with it. It pays having two Keetongu. The pieces really came in handy when making the leags and arms. I must say, I think I have pulled off a more beast like side of him. After all, he is supposed to be a rahi. You know the hardest thing was the head. I really wanted to stick with the original head plate. I guess luck was on my side because the design worked perfectly! Anyway, only one more week of being a freshman!

I want more MOCs like this & this. All this smooth, flowing jazz just ain't doing it for me. Yes, I do MOC like that. Yes, I wish I didn't. There's just something more appealing to me in MOCs like The Godfather's. I still like the works of DV and Seran, don't get me wrong, but it isn't really my preferred look (It's almost impossible not to like their MOCs either way, though). I guess I like more boxy MOCs. -K-

I don't remember exactly what I said about him at first – the earliest pictures did make him look rather bad – but that did change slowly to moderate indifference. However, forget all of that. Now that I actually have him in hand, I can say without hesitation that Jaller Mahri is the best-designed Toa in years. Every single thing in his design works together. (Well, not the blue pin in his neck. But we'll skim over that.) His mask, both pieces of his chest armor, and his sword were all designed to work together – note the rectangular holes along the edges of the first three, and on the "hilt" of his sword. And then those even work with the rest of his design stylistically, thanks to the dot pattern on his mask, matching that in his body and legs. And even better, his color scheme is perfectly balanced. Red over most of him, but the orange isn't smothered thanks to his mask and... stomach plate, for lack of a better term, and the black works well as an accent by being present in the hips and neck, not just in his extremities. The green eyes aren't bad, either – contrast without being glaring. The breathing tubes. They completely make his set. It wouldn't be half as good without them, because they just look completely cool looped through his chest armor... plus they provide balance for his sword's silver. That sword is quite a cool one, by the way. Huge, but long and smooth and elegant... It really looks like it was designed to be used underwater, lightweight as it is and with the hole down the center. The Hahnah crab is cool in several ways as well – she both looks good to begin with (wonderful dual use for the armor), is the first familiar a canister set has ever had, and means Jaller isn't carrying a Cordak blaster. Which is absolutely glorious, because they're hideously huge on everyone but Maxilos. The only place Jaller is not great is in the area of recolored pieces, as he has none unless one counts Matoro's shoulder pads in orange. The fact that he shares so many pieces with his Inika design is normally a double-edged sword, but it's actually convenient for me because I never got Jaller Inika. Eheh. Still, more orange double-sockets are nice, since again I don't have Vohtarak, either... So all in all he's really well-balanced all around. Excellent color scheme, old pieces tied into a complete design by his armor, and even a balance between the techy-looking sword and tubes and pistons with the more bestial feet, mask, and of course Hahnah crab. And his proportions, though not perfect, are much closer than anyone else's, thanks to the actual depth his chest has and how his torso is a stud longer than the Inika's. And of course... Don't they look great together? ~ ToM

Just a few things I dreamed up, which are of no particular importance or relevance, least of all to each other... Maxilos's mask looks like the Hau; he's a servant of the Order of Mata Nui, and Mata Nui's symbol is the Hau, but he's possessed by Makuta, whose trademark is the infected Hau. So it works both ways, when possessed and when normal. Phantoka means "spirits of the air"; if the ka at the end is the same one that usually means energy or power, it could be something like saying "the powers that be" or "the powers above" in English, essentially a form of synechdoche where "powers" is used to refer to the gods – hence, spirits. Mistika, likewise, has interesting sounds to it. The "mist" part is far too obvious for me, but it doesn't sound bad. Also, as someone pointed out somewhere, it sounds vaguely like "mystical" (albeit with different stress), which works nicely. But on the first, I sort of wish it had been given a different meaning than "spirits of the mist," so there's at least a hint of a different language than just directly derived from English. (Phantom to air-spirit is more oblique, but for Matoràu purposes I've decided to make the word Fantoka.) Finally, I like the shapes the Makuta Mistika have (scrawny though they look), but it would have been rather interesting if Bitil and Gorast had come from "bite" and "gore"... Eh. Just random thoughts. ~ ToM

Thanks for the blog help! This is sort of interesting: Here I wonder if it will ever be used? Also something like these in MOC form would be so cool to do sometime as a group project: Here Here

Avotoran life before the Brotherhood attacked was like Victorian Society. Really, after they cleaned up everything after the Great Cataclysm, they had about a thousand years with absolutely nothing to do. (Not that time seems to pass quite as slowly or years be as long in the Bionicle universe, but that's beside the point.) Naturally, they would turn to forms of cultural sophistication and artistic expression. Architecture, for instance. There must have been loads of interesting buildings, and with that much time with nothing to do you can be sure they lived in something more extravagant than huts. And then they probably had sculptures and such things everywhere... maybe of Takanuva... And oh my goodness, they had hanging gardens. Lots of them. Seriously hanging, given that they lived on top of fallen stalactites and had all that open air all around them. And then the bridges between villages would probably be all decked with vines and flowers and whatnot... But back to Victorian England rather than ancient Babylon, there must have been opera. Oh yes. In elegant theaters. Or, if the weather was good, the best singers who could project their voices the most probably sang in the open air so that the residents of other villages could hear them and their voices would echo throughout all of Karda Nui. It would have been amazing to hear. Some form of sport would have been developed, most likely, to make use of all the open air. Maybe an imported form of Akilini, or for all we know it was something entirely different. And of course they would have gone exploring, once they devised an adequate means of flight, so by the time they were attacked they'd have known everything about Karda Nui and its geography and the cave walls and what sort of plants are found on which ledges and which Rahi lived in the swamp down below. Then some of them probably vanished, never to be seen again, while exploring the caverns leading off from the main cave... and legends developed about them at the same time as Solek and others like her recorded and translated and such the old legends about the Toa, which were read aloud (because all legends are written in metered verse, and thereby pleasant to the ear) alongside epic poems and the like... Oh, and they definitely developed all sorts of aesthetic things to do with light, given their innate light powers. Art nouveau, things that looked like Lothlórien, etherial glows at night, decorative borders... extrapolations of lightstones... fireworks, maybe... There might even have been sky pirates, but that's just getting excessive. ~ ToM

Have you ever had it where your building one thing and it turns into something else? So a few days ago, I was sitting down working on Umbra when a had a strange spark to do something else. I began to switch the colors... and then I saw something. I saw the yellow beast Keetongu. So, I dropped Umbra and started Keetongu who I must say looks so much better. It gave me one of those chills. The kind you get when you know you have a good MOC. Anyway, I need some stuff to spice up the blog. It seems boring to me. Any suggestions?

Enter the Powerpoint Face Contest by May 15! Today the Bones Blog brings you a short interview with Greg Farshtey on the subject of focus groups, an often-misunderstood concept lately. What are the facts? Bold is for important points. Blue is me, black is Greg. The Q&A bonesiii: I've noticed lately that one of the cookie-cutter arguments complainers are using has been the anti-focus groups one. [someone] just claimed in a topic for example that focus groups just like whatever LEGO throws at them in thanks for being chosen. He also said younger fans buy "anything". GregF: That is a very common misconception of people who have never attended a focus group. Trust me -- I attended the initial groups we did for Dino Attack when the theme was just going to be hunting and trapping dinos -- beautiful sets, and the kids hated every one of them. They wanted the heroes to be attacking the dinos, so they got redone as more aggressive sets and sold great. Same with BIONICLE -- the kids are forced to make choices in these groups, of which sets of the group they like best and why. These are professionally run groups, managed by market research professionals outside of LEGO Company, so a kid who just says, "I like everything!" won't be allowed to get away with that answer. bonesiii: Why are focus groups important? GregF: Focus groups are important because, with any product, you need to gauge reactions from your primary audience. This is why movie studios do previews and have people fill out comment cards .... this is why TV producers have people watch their shows and turn a dial up or down when they like something or they don't. Every manufactuer just about uses some form of focus group or focus testing, whether they do it themselves or they hire an outside firm to do it. And all those BIONICLE sets everyone on here loved in 2001 and 2002 all came out of focus groups too. bonesiii: What's the basic process of choosing focus group members? GregF: LEGO contacts our market research firm, tells them what we want to test, how many sessions we want, how many kids in what age range, and what level of enthusiasm we want them to have for the line (heavy users, medium users, light users, and sometimes even rejecters, though not often). They then recruit the kids, so we have nothing to do with the selections directly. They also conduct the groups and present a debrief when they're done, we just observe from another room. bonesiii: How important are their reactions to the final product compared to other things like past sales or just set designer's instincts or whatnot? GregF: Designer instincts and past sales tend to go into the initial design phase. And they do play a part in that you don't automatically change everything you hear a criticism about -- some things have to stay the same for manufacturing reasons, etc. Also, you pay more attention to comments you hear from multiple groups, not just comments from one or two. If you have, say, 8 or 12 sessions over three days (which is common) with different groups of kids each time, and they all pick the same option or they all hate the same thing, you have to pay attention to that. bonesiii: Do they like "anything"? It would be pointless to bother with them if they just liked everything, right? GregF: You're right, it would be pointless. But that's not the case. It's pretty easy to spot kids who aren't really into it or aren't thinking about their feedback, and less weight is given to their comments. Most of these kids take their job very seriously and they get pressed to defend their comments. If they like something, or they dislike something, they have to say why. If they think something could be better, they have to say how it could be better. The difference between a focus group and an online forum is that focus groups are pushed to be as constructive as possible in their comments, where online posters can just say, "That stinks!" and no more. Because of that, we get a lot more valuable feedback from the groups. I would also add that focus groups are not just used for sets -- they are also used for TV ads, magazine redesigns, online and offline game testing, etc. Are focus groups infallible? No, they're not. But what I see when I see people screaming about them is that they are basically saying, "They should listen to me and not them" -- in other words, the complainers don't object to focus groups, they just want to BE the focus group. My Thoughts In my observation, this is more of a "grasping at straws" tactic that some complainers have started using. Some of it might be taste discrimination; implying that the focus groups and thus the tastes of most fans are somehow inferior to the complainer in question, or it might simply be an assumption that the focus groups aren't accurate. If it's taste discrimination, I've already addressed this fallacious, but somewhat understandable mistake here: Taste Discrimination Fallacy, Equality of Taste. If it's a question of accuracy, there's some huge problems with that. 1) Complainers don't have magical access to what the majority wants anymore than anybody else. Just because we might wish we were the focus group doesn't mean our tastes would be more accurate to the majority. In fact the opposite is often true; online fans are often very different from most fans, in any franchise. 2) Random sampling is a proven technique for accurate polling in all areas, including political polling and in fact any kind you can think of. Naturally, the majority will most often be the ones picked. 3) Many of the trends in focus group opinions were represented vocally on BZPower before several problems were fixed. Gear unpopularity, and more "violence/darkness" come to mind. The latter fits Greg's example from Dino Attack too -- so before the problem was fixed, the "complainers" basically were the same taste-group as the focus groups. 4) LEGO uses an independant firm, and the system inherently requires intelligent responses. It's not the simplistic "LEGO shows a few kids the prototypes and they all say 'I likey!'" that complainers seem to have in mind. 5) Most importantly, as LEGO has improved sets more and more, listening to focus groups included, sales have gone up. Either way, I've seen the argument come up seemingly because almost all other illogical complaints have been so thoroughly debunked, while this one hasn't. Those using it display an almost shocking ignorance of what focus groups are exactly and how they work -- ignorance is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but if you're going to propose that something is a problem, you should be familiar with its details. Yet those using it seemingly have made no effort to find out, so it seems more like a convenient excuse to keep complaining. Hopefully, this entry will help clear up such confusion. Ultimately, the important lesson is that NO illogical argument should be used to say "I don't like this; LEGO shouldn't have done it." We're all free to dislike sets, but that's a matter of taste, not a matter of what LEGO actually should do. Just because you don't enjoy something doesn't mean it's a "problem" -- because you're not the only fan. Instead, we should seperate our personal tastes from our opinions about what LEGO should do. So if focus groups' tastes tend to be different from yours, you should be mature enough to say "I wish focus groups and most fans shared my tastes, but this is reality and I can deal with it. I agree LEGO should pay attention to focus group results." Now, if you can show some problem with focus groups that none of us have thought of, by all means, let's hear it. Otherwise, that argument ain't gonna fly no mo'. Calling all artists! Enter by May 15th!

Well in light of the underwhelming response to recent entries which falls completely in line with my expectations, here's another one! This time, reviewing Bionicle Legends 9! Yes, I know. The book came out months ago. I only got it today, right? So shush. "Experience has taught him it was better to have a plan...Life, unfortunately, wasn't going to stop while you did that...sometimes it dropped you right into the midsts of an all-out-war without so much as a "guess where you're going?"" All-out-war. That is basically what this book is. A war between light and shadow, good and evil. A war between the Toa Nuva and the remaining Matoran of Light desperately fighting for their survival and the Makuta; powerful beings of shadow out to control and corrupt everything they touch. Although they do not have an army, they soon create one using their shadow leeches - not that they need one. It is evident from the start that the Makuta have no problem single-handedly destroying a few villages in spite of resistance. Far more than 2007 where each Barraki had his own army, this book gives me a much stronger feel of war. The Matoran of Light really are desperate, with their friends and allies turned against them, facing uncountable odds. By the time the Nuva arrive they have all but lost, and not just the battle. They really have lost everything. It truly feels like there's something worth protecting here. The fate of the universe is at stake, but so is the fate of these Matoran. This, for me, is what makes the book. The fact that it shows this and gives me something real and non-abstract to care about. With Matoran given far more prominent roles in the story, suddenly their lives start to matter. This, for me, is a good thing. The past couple of years especially I've had very little interest in the fate of the Matoran, because they simply haven't mattered. Only six Matoran were free in 2006, and they played the hero part so much by themselves I wasn't concerned about them being protected or rescued. Nor did I care for the other Matoran, for they were just a nameless horde. Last year the Matoran got almost no screentime. Almost nothing about their village was revealed, and there were painfully few Matoran with which I could connect or emphasize. This year the Matoran are genuinely interesting characters who, while able to fight their own battles, really do need saving. A definite thumbs-up here. All through the book there is atmosphere, there is action, there is humour and there is a feeling of grandness and scale that has really escaped the last couple of years. So far so good. "Tahu, Kopaka...they would be out there fighting. Not sitting here, hiding and waiting." Now here we get onto something very important: the characters. Fans of the Nuva rejoice! They have returned! While their sets may bear little resemblance to their 2002 counterparts, Greg has revived their characters flawlessly. Each one is true to form, although as expected the Mistika get little more than mentions. Kopaka is ice-cold and calculating to the last, yet has obviously learnt from his time on Mata Nui and at last understands the value of teamwork. Lewa is as likeable as ever, always carrying a joke or two to lighten the tone. And Pohatu? Aaaaaahh. Good, dependable Pohatu. Noble, strong and a friend to all, the Toa of Stone never changes. In a way, I am relieved. As an old fan, I am delighted to see that Greg has managed to retain their unique personalities that meld so perfectly with the elements they represent. Each one is a true avatar of their element which is why, for me, they will always be The Toa and more than just another team. But the Nuva are not the whole story. We have Matoran and we have Makuta. First I'm going to talk about the Matoran. You know, those small dudes that the Toa are here to protect. Not so weak anymore, the Matoran fight their own battles. Each has a strong and unique personality and add a whole new dimension which would be lacking if it were just Toa vs Makuta. The fact that Karda Nui has inhabitants turns it into more than just another battleground. While we may not get to know much about the Matoran's way of life, we do get to know them. Solek I particularly like. He's very much the Matoran who, so like his 2001 counterparts, looks to the Toa for protection and idolises them in every way. Now, the Makuta! I've deliberately left these guys till last, partly because I wanted to test my own patience. I've been itching to write about them. The Makuta really are Makuta in every way. Powerful, confident and nasty, these are not beings you want to be on the wrong side of. Infact, given their disregard for all other lifeforms and their feeling of complete superiority, I'm not sure I'd want to be on any side of them at all! Even when blind, they carry themselves with all the strength and confidence expected of a Makuta. Furthermore, they're not backstabbing traiterous gits like EVERY villain of the last two years! Sure they may not have any great love of each other, but even the vilest of beings can have respect for another. Makuta may not like each other, but they have enough respect and sense to recognise the foolishness of trying to continually undermine and eliminate each other. For that simple fact, I love reading any scene with these guys in. Oh I could go on for ages about the Makuta, but there are other things to discuss! I might just make a quick mention of Toa Ignika. He's a really great character. He has no real understanding of what it is to be a Toa, or even to be alive. This causes him to do some very...questionable things, which makes it all the more interesting. No one really has a clue who or what he is either, which is good fun. So, onwards! There wasn't much there, but what there was told a clear story Greg has an interesting style. He always finds time to slip in the tiniest hints of irony and some unusual phrasings. I must confess, I adore this sort of thing. I enjoy writing myself, and having studied English (for good or for worse) I do enjoy these small oddities. I'm not going to bore you too much with a stylistic analysis of the book though. I suspect that may not be the most riveting of reads. Instead I'll talk about how he tells the story. The story is extremely linear, which each event picking up right where the last one left. Reading it does give the feeling of a complete story, which is great! Especially when this book is one of three this year. As always, Greg's book follows the characters rather than a pre-planned developing plot. I like both approaches to stories, but given the circumstances and the length I'd say this approach works very well. There certainly is plot development, that much is certain, but a lot of the book is about what happens to the characters and how they deal with the situations they find themselves in. This allows the characters to be explored nicely, and you really do get to know them as the book goes on. Something I've sidestepped until now is the action. There's a lot of this in the book. The Makuta seem to rely far too much on their shadow powers, ignoring for the most part their incredible range of other abilities. I tried writing a Makuta vs Toa fight once, and the Toa got completely slaughtered within half a page. I just couldn't see how to avoid it. When you're armed with powers like gravity, magnetism, weather control, teleportation, sonics, accuracy, sleep and all those other abilities, how can you lose? Yet somehow the Toa manage to put up a much better fight against three such opponents than I feel can rightly be expected of them. Nevermind. The fights were enjoyable nonetheless, and didn't detract significantly from the story. Well, I suppose when there's a war on that's hard to do, isn't it? Antroz perched on a high ledge and looked down over Karda Nui. His searching gaze took in the Matoran villages, built atop fallen stalactites, and the great swamp far below. I must confess, I don't believe setting to be Greg's strongest point. Maybe it's because I'm used to the days of the MNOLG and the Webisodes, but I never find the books give an entirely satisfactory picture of the surrounding environment. It's actually a failing I (believe I) share when writing, so I'm not going to criticise too much. I do like to be able to picture a scene or a place in my head and, while I can usually do this, there often seems to be a lack of detail. I dunno, maybe I should read it again. I tend not to spend time over the books, given their size. Only an hour or two, really. Actually, their size could be a reason for this. Description of place can take up a lot of space in a book and, as nice as it is, tends not to be essential to the story itself. In almost any circumstance I'd say 'don't leave it! Put it in!' but when writing to a word limit like Greg, sometimes there are more important things. He does manage to create atmosphere throughout the book, so it can't be all bad. Infact, it's a long way from it. Karda Nui has a bit more personality than previous settings. Voya Nui and Mahri Nui, for all their potential, just didn't do it for me. They turned into nothing more than battlegrounds for the Toa and whatever enemy they happened to be fighting. This is still somewhat true, and Karda Nui (given its size) can be seen as something as a letdown. The entire place is a huge swamp with a few isolated villages atop some stalactites. Anything else? Any features of interest? No? Ok then. What a thrilling location. I remember Greg once described the Universe Core as being 'almost a universe in itself'. This really excited me. Then we got this. Still, the inclusion of village settings and research labs does add some flavour to the place. Karda Nui, while not what I had hoped or expected, does manage to be an interesting location to visit if not explore. "There's no getting around it - darkness is going to win here." So how does the book shape up overall? Well in my opinion, quite well. Like many I am thrilled to see the original heroes back in the main story. They remain as awesome as ever and true Toa to the last. All the characters have personalities which are explored throughout the book - an impressive feat, given the sixteen or so characters all competing for the main spotlight. What happens in the book seems to occur naturally, and not as a convenient plot device like in some books. Another definite plus. The book provides an excellent start to the year. It sets the scene nicely and introduces many of the characters and problems to be faced by the heroes. Considering the Toa Nuva are in Karda Nui to awaken Mata Nui, there seems to be very little mention of that. Given that there's a war on, perhaps this is unsurprising. Wars to tend to disrupt even the best laid plans. Settings are an improvement on past years, but still lacking in my eyes. If there's anything I'd like to see improved, it's this. I like a bit of description now and then, although too much tends to get in the way of a story. So, yes! I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in following the Bionicle story. I think fans of the earlier years will like this more than the books of previous years. It features the original heroes, multiple Makuta who are all fantastic characters in themselves, a return to a more traditional Toa-defend-village approach and, of course, the first steps to awakening Mata Nui! It's been a long road, but the end is in sight! I am now eagerly awaiting the next installment not because there was a shocking cliffhanger of an ending (I believe I stated the story is quite nicely self-contained), but because I'm genuinely interested in what's going to happen. I don't think this is Greg's best book, but it's certainly one of the better ones. Let's hope future books keep to the same standard! Now, sleep. I no longer even have the energy to read through this. If my non-existant readers spot any mistakes, errors or general bad stuff, I hope they let me know.

It's been years since I last took to the BZP writing field. Can't remember which of the things listed to the right I wrote last. One of them, anyway. This was originally written for a short story contest on an unmentionable site due to advertising rules ( ), however I sliiiiightly overran the deadline. By at least a month. See? I can stick to deadlines! Honest! My intention was to write a story showing a Makuta in full force, using their incredible range of abilities in ways only a Makuta can. Unfortunately, I failed miserably as there is no incredible Makuta power usage in this story. It's not even the story I'd originally planned to write - not at all - but it's still good. Well, in my opinion. But I would say that, wouldn't I? Oh, it's also very long. Could have been much longer too, if I hadn't decided to cut it short and turn the rest into a second story. What can I say? I enjoy writing. If there's even a single soul reading this, look out for the story very soon! Still a few things I want to go through and smooth out, but it's just about presentable. Infact, because I'm feeling nice, I'll give you the story's name and a short, action-packed extract that gives absolutely no plot away. Just how extracts should be, hey? Kora Nui: The Break In "...the wall on the far side of the room exploded. The two Toa jumped and stared in horror as a horde of Visorak scurried into the room, pincers snapping in anticipation of a new meal. Loral leapt to her feet, desperately trying to formulate a strategy to defeat such large numbers. There were options, but nothing that wouldn’t totally exhaust her came to mind. Then, as she was reminded by a Rhotuka flying past, came the problem of surviving. Feryan was bringing all his experience into play. Of all the Toa, he was the most comfortable against larger numbers. He was highly skilled in wide-ranging elemental effects, as he demonstrated now. From a high vantage point he drew all the air away from a particularly large group, sending them into utter panic as they found themselves unable to breathe. Narrowly dodging a hail of Rhotuka from his right he targeted the attacking group and unleashed all the air he had taken in a massive concussion blast. Those Visorak that weren’t crushed were sent spiralling across the room, causing general chaos amidst the horde. Loral found herself in an uncomfortable position. Having at first succeeded in driving back the spiders with waves of water, she had suddenly found herself surrounded. It seemed some of the spiders had scaled the walls and dropped down from the ceiling behind her. Every time she tried to make an opening more spiders appeared, and she was finding it harder to dodge and block so many Rhotuka. Her mask of intangibility was proving useful, but such frequent use only drained her further. The spiders were coming closer. She unleashed a torrent of water, trying again to make her escape, only to be rewarded by a Rhotuka in the back..." But what happens next!? Yes, I know it's a very short extract, but I don't want to give too much away now do I?

I went to the Lego Store yesterday, and I picked up the Toa Terrain Crawler for $35. It's a pretty sweet set. I'm glad I got it. It has some interesting pieces that I might use. I really like the minifigs, though. I don't know why, but I do. Now I just need to get the Arachnoid Stalker, and I'll be set (Haha... punz....) until summer. Check out my contest below. -K-

*Hey Contest winners from the Mini Moc Contest! I need to know what you want in your content blocks* *Also winners of the first contest, I need another description of your self-MOC* *Winners of my Epic contest, your MOCs are not forgotten* * I still will reply in BBCC topics* Experimentation on new MOC designs have begun. Expect less humanoids, and more animalistic MOCs. I'm actually quite pleased with some of them. It has been fun to work with new pieces, and more vibrant colors at that. If you haven't noticed... I use mainly black pieces. Also, I have found that a certain canceled toyline has a wonderfull assortment of fun names for MOCs. Of course, there changed slightly for ™ purposes. Dune Scourage will probably be my first non-humanoid MOC.

First, I was like what in the world is he talking about. Then, I thought he may have been talking about this link Zyrox gave me after I posted my entry: Here. I actually had never seen his MOC untill he showed me. After looking at the his actuall brickhelf, I found this: Here I guess he thinks I copied it from him, even though I didn't. Even at that, his has some eye thing on the bottom. But still, it doesn't feel good being called a copier. This is the first time I have ever been really upset over something on BZP. And I'm not a kid either.... On second note, I can't wait for the polls!

I want the 2007 playsets really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really badly! Unfortunatly, the TTT costs 700 DKK, the TUA 400 DKK and the BDP 250. I have 121 DKK. Should I just save a little and get the BDP, or should I wait almost 3 months with hard work and to get enough money for all of them?

I notice that he seems to have some sort of affinity with falling rocks...
