Pencoin Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Stop by my place if you come -- there'll be brick-shaped muffins and Madu juice for refreshments. -Ikk I doubt they would put a over-sized bazooka in anyway, hopefully a Thornax launcher.
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Well, this year they have at least one solid reason to stay away from big, chunky blasters: the smaller the launcher, the better it'll look in the upcomin' movie. Imagine the Metru carryin' around Cordak blasters all the way through their adventures in LOMN! So I say the Thornax launcher is a pretty good estimate at the size of summer sets' versions. -Ikk
Pencoin Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 To be honest if the right year comes, I will not mind the launchers. It just that a Toa with no expericance of a blaster cna suddenly hold that and a sword is just wrong. If a year comes in futuristic setting with the launcher being the sole weapon of a character then its ok I guess (As long as its just one character).
Holy Diver Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 I don't mind blasters that much, but would perfer that they stop beating around the bush and just call them guns. Like that will never happen.
Bundalings Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Stop by my place if you come -- there'll be brick-shaped muffins and Madu juice for refreshments. -Ikk Explosive juice! ~Bunda
Bfahome Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 I don't mind blasters that much, but would perfer that they stop beating around the bush and just call them guns. Like that will never happen. I think it might have to do with violence levels. If a parent sees "Includes new gun for combat action!", I'm willing to bet that they'd be less likely to buy it for their kid than if it said "Includes new launcher for combat action!" Though it's basically the same idea, saying "gun" makes it seem that much more violent. Explosive juice! ~Bunda IT'S A TRA- *BOOOM*
Bundalings Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Where did this guy's info come from? About there being an RC Mata Nui set. That sounds awful. BTW I want Mata Nui to be green and tan. Seems fitting. ~Bunda
~Wrack'n'Ruin~ Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) >_><_< ~Bunda Oh Wow, Bunda, that was an incredibly epic brainfart, even for you. =3 Edited December 10, 2008 by ~Wrack'n'Ruin~
Brickthing Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 I know it's meant to mean Returning Character, but wouldn't we just hate it if they somehow made Mata Nui remote controlled? (Forgetting the canister price restrictions of course.)
---Vertea--- Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 wow. I think that I can no longer keep up with questions from the OGD. Appearantly, Strakk would gladly help you if you were in trouble-so long as you negotiated pay. Greg phrased it as "Strakk would gladly ride to your aid"
Brickthing Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Ice pony + Ice Maniacal Grin Dude = Lolish 3D animation potential....
Nightmare Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 1) More of a request then anything. Since we have a few facts on Vorox and Skrall now, I was wondering if you could give some sort of fact on Strakk. I ask because the ice characters have always been my favorite. If not that is fine, I just figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.1) If you are in terrible danger, Strakk will gladly ride to your rescue, fight off your enemies, and save your life ... provided you have agreed to payment terms first. If not, he will just as gladly ride right past you. 1) YAY! Taken directly from here
---Vertea--- Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 I like the idea of a Strakk steed. Maybe a member if the ice tribe will be released with an ice-steed in the summer. Or maybe as a store-exclusive.
Nightmare Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Agori Atakus Raanu Tarduk Berix Metus Zesk Glatorian Skrall Malum Gresh Tarix Strakk Vorox The ones from Vertea + the ones from Jetslandingboard over BZP
Zarathos Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 ... sounds like Skrall has quite the ego -Z
Pencoin Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) Wow thanks for finding this! Also sorry to anyone I upset with some of my eariler posts, I asure you it will not happen again. I'll post what I think of the characters when I read everything. Edited December 10, 2008 by Pencoin
Pencoin Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) I don't know Star-Trek but you could be right (About the naming ) The characters sound great. The places sound great as well. I was right about Raanu being the Tribe-Leader and Berix being a Cid with a Brotherhood is great! One thing though... Metus has a sword, not an axe? Edited December 10, 2008 by Pencoin
Brickthing Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Sweet - I think we know some tribe names now! Rock - Roxtus Fire - Volcanus
Pencoin Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) I didn't notice they were elemental. I like the fact that you could guess personalitys from how they look. Also Tuma a evil and powerful leader, as a city on a mountain a 'clone' army and is likely more advanced then the other tribes and Agori having the 'best' life. Sounds very post apoc, I mean a disaster and scavegers and a race turing into beasts and a guy taking advantage of the situation and caravans and all kinds of things make it sound very good. Lets hope Greg can make an incredible story with the backdrop he has made, at least we can make amazing Fan-Fiction with this. Edited December 10, 2008 by Pencoin
JINZONINGEN73 Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Ice pony + Ice Maniacal Grin Dude = Lolish 3D animation potential.... Glad I don't have any 3D programs on this. I still feel dirty after the last Paint project. >__o (I was laughing while doing it though..) Mizzehpost Yesterday, 12:06 PM That's actually what I'm doing once I get a Glatorian and take pictures of it - equip it with a Zamor Launcher. I think the Thornax launchers were just kind of slapped on, whereas the Zamor Launchers looked cooler on them. I've already started sketching out where to put the launchers on the Glatorian. ..Sorry, I just had to get it out that I hate the Thornax Launchers. :P I dunno, I'm diggin' the new ones. Thet're not as big and annoying... strictly a projectile launching device. But they're not... you can actually use them as building parts, way more easily than with Zamor launchers. I think I like these Thornax ones most, with the one Zamor cannon Ignika came with second, for it's (symmetrical) bulkines to use in larger mocs. Wish I had a bunch of those... Beyond that, EVERY OTHER LAUNCHER can burn in hell.
Pencoin Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 The Midak is great on the big sets, just to big for the small ones. If TLC can realse this we could get some great sets.
