Ah, how could I miss this. This should be fun.

Hello and welcome! What's your second favorite theme? And if you have any questions, please be sure and ask! *y*

Sergeant VBBN to Imperial goggleson: "Check the Navigator. We should probably go left here." To Volito: "We've landed. We are going on a trek. Goggleson says it's about 20m. What's you status?"

Ditto, Grevious. Anyway, I saw pohuatu at Target today. I didn't get him though. What's he compare to other sets? I was to tempted by that ETX alien strike.

A must buy!! :-P I wouldn't buy that though. Kids might.

O. M. G. I MUST HAVE THAT SET!! :'-) *y* *wub* I remember you telling me that you were going to do a review of this set, and I was so anxious! I love these reviews! Thanks so much! Great pictures. *wub* *y* *y* This will dent my wallet. 8-| I am so envious!

Ah, congrats! I have that set, and I think it's wondeful! Definatly get Antroz and Lewa. *y* Today I continued my Lego spree with ETX alien strike from Target! I have taken pictures of it, and plan to figure out how to transfer them. It's a new camera. Review on!

Jeez, what a revive. :-| Well, since it has been revived, I shall comment. A nice set, but I just don't think that It is in my tastes. The clone wars oneis fine for me! :-) Oh, and nice review *vader* *y*

Part 3: Collectables and Quality. Ahh, two very interesting subjects. So, let's start with collectables, shall we? From 2001 until 2003, we were given mask packs. Excellent or Mocers. I remember how I would go out to Meijer, and just buy them whenever I had spare cash. Plus it was fun to see what was inside. 2004 was a change. We were given something called a konoka disk. While fun, they resembled the throwing disks of their small counterparts, Slizers and Throwbots. Later, we were given packs with two or three, I can't remember, disks, and a colored launcher. Those were nice. We were still given mask packs. They were those packs that included two of each metru mask for your backpacks. They were in original colors though. 2005? We had rotuhkas. Starting on the rahaga, then Hordika, an basicly every set had them. 50 m was a stretch, but after ou had a few ripcords, they got anoying to store. Rohtuka packs came out with colored spinners in them. No launcing mechanism like the Kanoka. 2006 was zamor year. Theyshot far and hard, but fell out og the launchers. We were given packsof 10 zamors in assorted colors. No launcher. Nuff said. 2007 Was "squid ammo." Blue and green jellies as projectiles, which didn't shoo very well for many people. Were they good? Alright considering the theme. But when cordahks came, no packs came. And they were huge gatling guns. They weighed down the toa. 2008 Was huge cannons, and exploding chests. Shame their are no Battle Packs with these in them. The jellies I mean. In assorted colors. 8-

*Yesterday I earned $20.00 from some Ebay sales, and considered putting toward my most recent buy, my grandma said she would pay for it. What a deal. So my heavy hauler, catapult, etc. was free, and I put my $20.00 towards a.... B-Wing! Only $25.00!

Seregant VBBN to imperial goggleson: "Well, I've found us a craft. It's a civilian main vehical. Change into something more blending." Sergeant VBBN: "All systems check. Looks like we are ready to go."

Now my comments: Windows: Ugh, their so big! Probably will only buy 1 of these for the doors. Tires- Yes, but why yellow? Roof- Wish it was black, but still nice.

*y* *wub* Wow, what a nice MOC! Can we see an underside view? I love this design so much. It looks great!

Actually, I don't have that problem. I have MORE than enough space. :-)

They will with me. I am low on tires. 5 packs for me, 5 for David...

-Heavy Hauler -2 Droid Battlepacks -2 Clone Battlepacks -Catapult Defense Total: $89.99

YES!!!!!!!!!!! I will buy 5 of each! Can't wait to see the prices! *wub* *wub* :-) *y* 8-

Great! And this MOC really appeals to me. Some ppeople like Exo-Builder, like post-apoc MOCs(BTW, I like those who do them), and some people like me enjoy modular concepts. In the next few weeks, I am planning to start revealing some of my MOCs, which you will find are Modular, as my Tabletown is actually Module City. So nice job on that MOC! Is their an interior?

An EF contest where you need to combline robot and human technology to create a new battle machine!

Visorahk-Kal: I agree with you. Thanks everyone for reading! I think that you are right: We split after 06, as that seems to be the base of the present day sets. Part 2: Playsets and Clones- Hello again, and now, the second part to my thoughts. In 2005, we had some thing completely new. Playsets. System was introduced into the BIONICLE universe. Was this a good thing? In many ways, yes. Some fans of LEGO, don't like BIONICLE, because it isn't very compatible with system, unless you have the newer exo-force sets, and is something different. When Bionicle introduced system sets, it brought more people into the habit of BIONICLE, raising profits. So what was bad? Well, not much really. The giant masks and new "minifigs" were nice, as was the exclusive visorahk gate set. 2006 brought the trend in for the second time. This time, it wasn't buildings and a ram, but instead towers, gates, and a large fortress. The parts were nice, and the figs were sweet, but they had a little bit more glitches that 2005. The zamors were huge. Things were outsized. And parts were all dark blue and grey... Not as various as I would have hoped. I like the two vehicals though. Nce features, and again, nice builds. Bionicle seemed to be doing well. 2007 was IMO, not as good. The vehicals seemed to have no taste for me. A fortress with rooms? Maybe. But a giant slug like rahi with a middle section, cockpit, and greebles everywhere? Not my kind of style. And all of the 07 plasets had something in common. Legs, huge cockpits. The figs were copies of eactother. What had happened to sales? 2008 replaced them with giant technic vehicals. Now, Clones. From 01 to 06, we had canister sets that resembled eachother perfectly. Well, not that perfect. Some were shorter, diff weapons an masks, colors, etc. Did they sell well? Yes. And lego made lots of new parts for them, because they would only have to make one mold, and recolor it six times. Each line had at leasst 6 new parts. The inika had a lot. Then, in 07, that changed. Canister sets were unique, with some similarites. For example, all the barraki had the similar face builds, jaws, etc. The only problem? Lego had to cut back a bit on the new parts, because they would make them look clonish again, if they didn't. Whjat did I prefer? Its a hard choice. Fo clones, if you had one you had them all, and for non clones, new parts were cut back. Thanks again for reading, and thanks to all who commented!

Ditto on that one, Exo. Hello, giorgio! I am into city myself. Do you have a tabletop city/town? And may I suggest these topics: -What did you Buy Today? -What in a name??? -What are you listening to? -What's your 2008 wish list sum?

Oops, my bad. :-$ I am listening to It's not over by Chris Daughtry. *y*

Hey guys, something else: Michigan TRUs are excellent sources for old sets. Same with meijer.

Sergeant VBBN to General casewindu: "Ah thank you sir. May I ask who this new recruit is?"
