One question: Is pohuatu's orange different than Photoks?

[Makuta'sdarkslave]

What do you mean "are their oranges the same"? That confuses me.

I really like these new canister sets. But in truth, the only one that looks like a "good guy" to me, is the blue and gold one. Well, in the case of the big sets. The small ones, blue, white and maybe black or red look good. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

....Aw man, I was gonna say something else, but I forgot... OH YEAH! Now I remember. The white canister set, it's head looks almost exactly like one of the monsters in that Tim Burton movie, The Nightmare Before Christmas (I watched that movie for the first time in a long time yesterday, not half bad). Which, to me, seems kind of strange. Also, I was looking at the small brown (YES, BROWN IS BACK!) set, and noticed it's similarity to the lion thingy that attacked Padme in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones which also seems a little fishy.

I have to admit, I like the hands. They look pretty cool, and I guess they work some more. You just can't use the joints (used for hands) for any other purpose now is all. They seem pretty cool, as I said before.

I especially like the new Titans. The green one looks like he's wearing the Mask of Shadows, but you never know.

One more thing, and someone else probably already knows this, but I was thinking, the fourth Bionicle movie WON'T be taking place in the Bionicle Universe. I look at it another way, after my research on BS01, and think "The Red Star". It's not in the Bionicle Universe, and apparently some "strange beings" live inside of it. Put 2 and 2 together, and I think the Glatorians are the things living inside the Red Star, and that's where the next movie will take place.

Few things.

1) I meant, is Photoks shade of orange different than Pohuatus. I heard this from somewhere, and I want to clarify it.

2) Please put all comments on 2009 sets in the 2009 thread. This thread is for the Mistika and Phantoka.

Greg says the Red Star is visible from the 2009 location, but it won't play a significant role for a long time.

Universe. I look at it another way, after my research on BS01, and think "The Red Star". It's not in the Bionicle Universe, and apparently some "strange beings" live inside of it.

Nope - that theory has been disproved long ago, as Greg gave confirmination that the Red Star is NOT the 2009 location.

Anyway, something really came on my mind the last few days. I know how a lot of people are really upset about the current storyline - and I can understand that somewhat. However, I don't see why people call it absolutely AWFUL, because IMO, it's far better than the current storyline in some modern comics. I mean, just imagine if Bionicle was written by the guys who are doing the current Batman crapics:

Onua: Woah, wasn't that awesome Tahu? I just blew the head off that Makuta!

Tahu: Who the h**l do you think I am? I'm the G*d-d**m Tahu!

Gali: Um, what exactly am I wearing? I didn't know bionicles needed underwear...

*Bitil crushes Gali under his foot*

Bitil: Hahahah! Whoops, looks like I got some Toa guts on my foot.

Onua: NO! Gali!

Tahu: Ah, go eat some stone rats, Onua.

Okay, exaggeration, but you get my drift.

There's a 2009 thread?? I guess I missed the memo. Sorry 'bout that.

Man, I guess you guys shot me down. But you didn't just shoot me down, you shot down my entire squadron, sunk my entire fleet, and blew up my entire platoon, that's what you guys did right there, I'll tell you what.

Sorry.

It's not.

[BrotherDog]

I've noticed that in some brickshelf galleries Krika has yellow instead of red marbled in. Is this just because of the

camera flash, or is there actually a chance of getting these better looking sets?

[Wrinkledlion X]

Picture, please?

[VBBN]

It's apparently also avaible in blue an- Oh wait, I did that with Irfanview.

And with the orange thing, thanks shine.

[Dino_Bot]

This boy is the pure incarnation of evil, the reason we get crappier sets every year .

As Always the prototypes are better then the finished product.

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!! That's f'ing hilarious.

Anyways, I've seen no prototypes for next year, except for that dude wit the ugly face.

Anyways. I was sorta hoping this would be the final year. I'm not impressed with neither the Mistika or the Phantoka. Or their respective Makutas. I'm now starting to buy the Mahri, and I liked the Mahri more than the current Toa.

They're just not Toa-licious anymore :(

I guess it's a good thing we have awesome looking gladiators next year instead of toa.

[Kynok]

Anyone know the name and set number of the BIONICLE Brickmaster exclusive?

Thanks. :-)

[Ikki o' Moopyville]

I know the name is Klakk, no idea about the set number.

-Ikk

[maiq the liar]

I just bought the Rockoh T3, and found the set to be a very satisfying build. oh, and it's very swooooooooosh-able!

[The Dor]

Don't know the full official name, but like Ikky said, it's called a Klakk. The set number is 20005 I think.

No words of ours can capture the enormity of this battle, so we won't even try.

FAIL.

Not fail. It's epic phail.

[Ikki o' Moopyville]

My bad.

It doesn't even look 'enormous'... this Gallagher guy makes it devastatingly bland to look at. Compare these --
