Now I only ewanted one mistika this year. Well, today I was at TRU and saw this Wonderful set! I had to dig into the back to get one as Gorast was covering him like mad. Set name: Bitil Number: 8696 Pieces: 54 Price: $12.99 Colors: Mata Yellow, Trans Orange, Black, Silver, Mata Red, gray. Allegiance: Makuta Series: Mistika Box Now the Mistika's cans are completely different from the Phantoka's, so i shall detail this section heavily. Anywho, Bitil's canister is a real canister now, like the Inika's. The lid is a kanohi Ignika. The villans canisters have the can lid turned to the eaten-half, whereas the Toa have a perfect ignika half as the main part. The Image of bitil is very clear, and quite stunning. The back of the canister details the warnings, the nyranh ghost blaster, Bitil's combo with gavla, and the other Mistika's head shots. Pretty Nice, average for a bionicle. One interesting thing I found was that the side of the canister shows a small image of Karda Nui. Sorry for the blurry pic. The lid is VERY hard to remove, but it is worth it. Here is a pic of the Ignika, with it's two halves. Parts: First, the instruction manual. The image is very nice, and the instructions are clear. Random Manual Image: The parts: Here are the new Pieces. These include the mask, which is awesome. The weapons, which are huge! The Blaster, wings, abnd claws. These are the interesting parts. I thought the vahki head was nice, and the mtoran body is interesting. Build: So first we build the torso. This is quite small, thanks to the matoran body. BUT, it is a nice change from the usual inika or piraka torso. And there is a technic beam on the back, which was pretty neat, IMO. Next we add the legs. The claws are added later. The Mata yellow is a great change from the norm. Orange was a fire color, and the Keet-orange was kinda old. The feet are a nice change, and are great for Mocs. Coming up next are the arms. These are generally good, but the spikes are knida flimsy, especialy the one in the gray pin. They turna round to much. Here we come to the head. It utilizes the Vahki head in a clever way. For once, it has an even mixture of black and Yellow. And added to the body: Now, the front, back, and action poses: Bitil is an amzin set, and truley gives a sense of pride. The Ghost blaster works surprisingly well, and his mask design is great. His wings are actualy better than they look, and I like them. Parts: 9/10(average for a toa nowadays.) Price per part: 8/10(average for bionicle) Playability: 9/10(action figure) Color: 9/10(Pretty good.) Overall: 87.5% 35/40 This set is Highley recommended to bionicle fans.

Okay guys, I have built the set! So let's review! Set Name: 7649 MT-201 Ultra Drill Walker Price: $69.99 Pieces: 759 Bought from: Tor R Us in Michigan, US. The Box: First we have the front. It shows the Set, it's functuns, and the Limited edition sign. The box is huge, about the size of the Dino Attack chopper set or the Mars Mission Base. Nowadays, most set that are $50.00 or more have a flap displaying the sets functions. Opening theflap on this box Reveals a GIGANTIC picture of the set. And the back. The bags, numbered: Next, the manuals. They have piece call outs, page numbers, etc. There are 2 manuals with this set. Sticker Sheets: They actually aren't all that bad. Random Manual image: Build: First, we open bag 1. This will build the Alien Craft and the minifigures. Now here we have some interesting parts. A green spine from Exo-force, and a black rim for the set Container Stacker. Next we start the build on the alien craft. It is pretty sturbdy, but has no cockpit for the alien. The alien stickers are really cool. They are rainbow-ish, and has a silver back. Next come the build on the wings: And the finished craft. It is pretty good, and has a nice sleek design. However, I think I will use the large ship for the commander out this year to fight the driller instead. Next is bag 2, which builds the rover and Astro Ship. First is the Ship. It starts off with Doctor Inferno's colors. It builds up very nice, and the detail is absolutley amazing. Next the roof is built. It has some speed racer slopes. The hinge piee now has a hole through it. Sorry for the blurry pic: More is added: Then comes the bottom piece. The detail is very nice, and the hinge piece has a use later on. Then you build the crates. Each one holds two crystals. Added to the ship, also a pic of the finished ship. Here we start the rover. It sports anice detail- The orange studs get coveded by the grill to look more like an engine. The detail in this thing is pretty good. It has a gun and shovel. Here is how it fits into the ship: It slides in... And is secured thanks to the hinge. Okay, so next we open the number 3 bag, which builds the body. Here are some interesting pieces: Then we start the build. It begins nice and study: I just love these stickers with the bulldogs on them: More of the build, with the stickers added: Next we add in the front part. The detail is again, outstanding. With the turntable added. It can move down as well. The next step is to build the water tank. It utilizes the bionicle boosters(big white things) And added to the walker: Then we build that drill. It uses a lot of rims and such. With the gears added: The front part uses a lot of those new droideka 3-prong things. And bionicle eyes. The drill can spin thanks to the gears. And added to the vehical: Next is the cockpit. It has a nice space for the Astro's bckpack. Added: The final stage is the legs. Thank god they aren't like Striking venoms. They are all the same, however. See those two rubber parts? Those keep it in place when on surfaces like glass. Next come the large part of the legs. These are similar to the Assault Tiger's legs. The final result is very sturdy, thanks too... Notice the amazing classic space sticker? So we finally come down to this: The final result is amazing. It is sturdy, and has great detail. It is very realistic. And, when the ship is removed, the drill goes down, and the turret is aimed up... Hope you all enjoyed the review!

Hello folks, and welcome to yet another b ionicle review! Today I shall be reviewing chirox, in all of his bat-like glory. And hopefully tommorow I will review Bitil. Set name: Chirox Number: 8693 Pieces: 49 Price: Was $9.99, now $12.99 Colors: Black Silver, Red, Trans orange, trans green, gray. Allegiance: Makuta Series: Phantoka Box: The same as Lewa and Antroz, see their reviews for details. Parts: Manual: Random manual image: Parts: New parts: This includes the torso parts, mask, wings, and weapons. The weapons are big, and the wings are much better than the wings like in batman. The mask is awesome, and very sinister looking. Interesting parts: I like how the hordika legs were brought back. A nice chhange. Build: First, we have the torso and legs. The torso is the same as antroz and vamprah, but has a metru torso chest plate. The legs are nice, and the 2-clawed feet are really nice, a very nice change from the piraka feet. The arm design. Very cool. Some people don't like how it poses, but I think it rocks. The finished product. And an action pose: ------------------------------------- Chirox is an awesome set, ans sports a great difference from the other cansiter sets. I love his arms, and he is truley an Evil Makuta. Parts: 7/10(a little below average for a toa nowadays.) Price per part: 6/10(average for bionicle) Playability: 9/10(action figure) Color: 9/10(Pretty good.) Overall: 78% 31/40

Well I made this MOC a while ago. It's my first all technic set. Overall View This front part has the most system in it. The wheels were those from heavy hauler, but I had these laying around at the time, so I stuck with them. This is the mid-section. it comprises of the cockpit. The steering wheel unfortuanatly doesn't turn, but that's okay. The cockpit is rounded thanks to the two curved bricks. Next is the engine. The engine can't be removed, as it was built on the dragster. It comprises of gears, pipes, and more. also here is the gear box. more on that later. Back View. The silver part on top adjusts the spoiler. Now, we have the bottom view. See the gear box? When the back wheels turn, it turns the drive shaft that goes all the way up the middle of the dragster. it works very well.

Bionicle 2001 and beyond: An essay of personal thoughts.
VBBN replied to VBBN's topic in LEGO Action Figures
Va a failure? Not at all. They sold just as well as matoran. Agreed on the Kal. Now, what is this story fails? The movie was the story, and that seemed to do quite well. What is this? The Movie set up the mask of time, a vital part of the nuva storyline, trying to prevent the bohrok kal from freeing the barahg. Now, the mini-fig bionicles didn't fail. Or else TLC wouldn't have continued them for two more years. The one thig I disagree with here is the comics. The first few were okay, however, the artist was making them look strange and quite frankly toothpicks. I don't see what you mean by the Barraki. They did fine for the year. And the playsets did fine. .Agreed. -
Wow, this is a great MOC! The interior and greebles are probably the best parts. So much detail... I hope this finishes looking great!

Well, I made this for my army. A TT(Troop transport) and a MOD to the T1-Typhoon, now named ThunderHawk. So here we go! First, the TT. Overall View: Back: Cockpit: Now the Thunder Hawk. Overall View: Front View: Now, the front 1st cockpit and front hatch opened. I gutted the hatch and put in 5 weapons, two air tanks, a jackhammer, and a backpack with suplies in it. Here is the second cockpit. I only added a gauge on the cotrol panel for something more exciting. Now, for the interior, I did a big job. First, I gutted the inside, and removed the main pole that held the propeller up. I made it thinner for more space. Then I added in two seats, and a small shelving unit on the other side of the radar moniter. Then I added a weapons rack. Now there is lot's more room. With Figs Without figs Other Side Shelving unit: Now, I removed the back cockpit that held the guns, gutted it, and removed the turntable and smooth tiles. The I added this, a computer with a seat and filled the gap on the sides. Then I made this turret, with a turntable for 360 dgree turns, and the guns an go up and down much farther. I changed the light from a stud to a flat tile here. Now for the bottom. First, I coverd up this useless axle. Then I added in this plate, that can be removed to drop a Bomb. Now, here we have a nother plate near the middle. However, when it is pulled down... ...It reveals the cargo hold! And in the front, I removed the blunt shooter and added in a hatchthat drops a missle. The figs: From left to right- Two soldiers, Hunter, Specs, Digger, and Shadow. An their tools. Thanks for reading!

That's strange. I saw about 20 of them in my TRU. Anyways, nice review. I thought this set was great for armies.
-
Well if she's so smart maybe you should tell her to stop spending her money on Barbie, Polly Poket, and My little ponies. I feel sad for you. Parents shouldn't control your lives. Only if your a 3-year-old. Have you told here anything about how you feel about her taking away your money?

Great review! I too liked the old police car better than today's. There have many police stations over the years, and I still think that this one is good enough to compete with todays gigantic new police station.

What should there be in the next Agents theme?
VBBN replied to Batbrick's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
I've always wanted to sea an awesome huge helicopter like Dino Attack for the bad guys. Maybe a Ice base for the Agents. A desert would be nice too. Or an undetground Theme!
