Bfahome Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 I think all the Glatorian heads are orientated the same way. Huh, I guess so. I swear there was a set that had it the other way, though…

InnerRayg Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 (edited) Bzpower is run by a**holes. I send them my interview, after 3 days of no reply, I posted a topic. I asked B6 if he would put it in the news, and he said probably not as I had made a topic. What a group of idots!! Screw you dude, seriously. I know it must break your heart that we can't do everything immediately. I'm terribly sorry you had to wait a few days, it must have been torture. I know Andrew personally as a good friend, and I'm not gonna take you insulting him. He's a great guy, and you have no freaking clue the kind of crap he has to put up with.

Wrinkledlion X Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 For the first time in a million years, MoD's forums produce something decent with a very well-done Strakk review. (Also Skrall and Malum, but we've already seen a lot of them.)

Wrinkledlion X Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Not on the forums in the past year. It's a hellhole over there.
Bundalings Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Yeah, it got scary after the mature RPG crew left. ~Bunda
JINZONINGEN73 Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Bzpower is run by a**holes. I send them my interview, after 3 days of no reply, I posted a topic. I asked B6 if he would put it in the news, and he said probably not as I had made a topic. What a group of idots!!~iVahi Look at it this way... the real big news right now for kids is to see new set reviews. A colorist interview is more of a slow news day thing. Not only that, this is all going on on a weekend. People get busy on their weekends, if there's any response at all. Kinda' like how you need help with something you bought late on a Thursday, don't get around to calling until Friday, then find out they're closed until Monday. Certainly the site has some odd, infuriating, long-term, why-is-this-still-going-on type of issues to validly complain about... but this one is a stretch.

It's a hellhole over there. Call me close-minded, but even though it's my understanding he's been gone a long time, I still hear "Purple Dave" in my ears when I hear "Mask of Destiny". It's that same feeling when your throat constricts at the thought of grabbing some alcohol, with mental flashbacks of the few times you wound up hurling. It probably ain't happenin'. Besides, between Eurobricks, and the monumental Lego community on Flickr... it's just... WHY.
Hydrobius Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Not sure if this is new or not: Hi Greg, hope you're doing well. Got a quick question/suggustion of sorts:You said that, next year, Glatorian ride creatures called Sand Stalkers. You also said that not much description of them has been done, beyond them being four-legged. Well, do you think we may be able to do a contest here to decide on their form, much like you're probably going to do one for Pouk's mask? I don't want to make this seem like I'm bombarding you with suggustions, but... thought it may be worth asking. Thanks, ~Basilisk Hi B, The plan right now is to have a MOC done of one for the March BrickMaster. If that doesn't happen, I may do what you suggest. Changed my name to Basilisk on BZP, so... guess we will see the Sand Stalker after all. =)
Zarkan Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Hey, iVahi, since you seem to have such great relations with the comic book team, could you please tell Ulises to stop the crappy coloring? xD-Ikk Crappy coloring? What the heck? The coloring in the comics is fine, IMO. What exactly is wrong with it, Ikki?

He's a great guy, and you have no freaking clue the kind of crap he has to put up with. I wasn't insulting B6, in the first place, and I realize now I had misdirected anger at the news team. I had thought that you guys replied, so I was thinking that you were being jerks ignoring the email. Plus, I feel like crap right now, having Mono (mononucleosis) If you have ever had it, you will know the pain and fatigue that comes with it. When I'm tired I'm pissy, and Mono is defined by exhaustion. The whole "__hole" comment was made because after I had sent the story I didn't know what to do. So I posted it (thinking you would see it then, in case you didn't read it) Then, I was told I shouldn't have posted it. If I personally offended you in any way, feel free to dock my BZP proto, or ban me. I had no intention on hurting you guys, and you should know I swear a lot even to my friends. Sorry again, ~iLego94

Is Purple Dave good or bad then? He's... eh... well, I'm just saying I hope he's grown up a bit. Also, there's this one guy on MoD who hates me for some reason. He had a game topic where he posted this picture of an anime version of Gali and Pohatu running around carrying a rabbit-furry, and everyone had to add new drawings and continue it as a story, but nobody wanted to draw his furries so he got pissed off and started swearing a whole bunch. Somehow he got around to posting a weird pedophilia-inspired Tren Krom and naturally no one responded, so he PMed me and told me to join in the game, at which point I posted this. Then he, for reasons I can't begin to comprehend, got really pissed off at me and has spammed all my topics ever since. He also PMs me inappropriate pictures such as this one, which I'd recommend you don't look at if you're under fourteen. Just 'cause. ***SEE BELOW*** He kind of reminds me of Rho, actually, if Rho preferred furries over Code Lyoko. So yeah, that's my MoD experience. EDIT: I'm really not much one for censorship. I did send the pic titled "mens.png" a little deeper in. : p So yeah, that's how you can still see it, if you're mature enough to. (And thanks for that gross image by the way... I've actually wondered for YEEEARS where the cutesy blood splotches in this were ripped from): http://www.dwedit.org/flash/jamezbond.php -JINZO PS... OH MY GOD. I clicked the arrow after it was done playing so I could watch it again... but apparently every time you click it, it only brings up one of 3 hidden messages lol.
Voodoo Hand Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Wrong Topic, but these images STILL COOL!! yeah sorry, must have misread it. think it was the time n all posted it around 6am as you might have noticed, didnt sleep yet before that
Pencoin Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 (edited) Whoops double post. Edited December 21, 2008 by Pencoin
Pencoin Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Off topic but did you see the idiotic reviews or Skrall and Klakk on BZP? you can guess there both typical Yanks... EDIT: Meh. Hope that wasn't some bigoted comment or something. Looks like one. I could probably analyze it further, but... meh. Play nice and whatnot. People are people. And every country's got their "embarrassing" people as well. And their young kids on the internet... ...acting like young kids... Hey, wait! I'M a YANK! -JINZO
Wrinkledlion X Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 What does them being "Yanks" have to do with anything?
hewkii9 Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 What does them being "Yanks" have to do with anything? I believe Pencoin's referring to the sets Skrall and Klakk. But he is actually wrong on both counts. Klakk is from Lackawanna County in Pennsylvania, whereas fair miss Skrall is from a little town in Nebraska. And about the MoD stuff, lol. That Tren Krom drawing is just plain weird. Also, please never link to anything like that last image again. Just for the sake of humanity. Please?
---Vertea--- Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 yeah... that was more than a bit too much. That image is gonna haunt me for the rest of today... or less, since my attention span is about... Look! a butterfly! What was I on about, again? Oh, well... I just got Strakk, Vorox, and Skrall. MUCH better in person. tiny masks that can't fit on av-toran heads, but even if they did, it wouldn't look so great. Skrall is a whole lot more substantial in person-the pics make hm WAAAAAAY too skinny. I was surprised at the fact that the red part in the swords is solid plastic and not rubber. Strakk, though, has ubber-to-plastic on his shoulder armour-but not on the mask or axe. The mask has a very nice texture, actually. The blending of colors is very fluid. I also modified Strakk to have white in place of dark blue parts and it looks REALLY REALLY good on him. Vorox and his tan is possibly the best score of them all. The brown-tan armour would make great military or rahi decal. His spindly mask could use a little work on the eyes, but that's about it. The one-color feet are pure WIN. I need to head back to TRU after I get my X-Mas money and pick up some more Glatorian-prolly another Skrall(since I gave mine to my brother as a present as well as Vorox) and Gresh. Or maybe(if I have the cash) Vorox and Tarduk. SIDE NOTE: I've already started on a design for the sand strider contest, I suggest you all do the same while there's still time. The competition for that one will be tough, no doubt. BZPers are gonna be ALL over that.

I've got some spare white limbs and I planned to do the same thing, but I don't have a body and it'd be nice to know it will still look ok. I think it will, but still nice to ask. If you can I suggest modifying Skrall's lifecounter onto his back, I feel it adds a lot. Edited December 22, 2008 by InnerRayg

I had one white Inika torso from Kopaka Phantoka(whole reason I got him was for his parts). He looks smashing with it. WAY more icy, actually because the color scheme is solid throughout and kinda fits together solidly so that he looks more... well, more. Skrall's life counter really doesn't work on his back. Personally, though, I prefer the foot because it gives it a feel that although it fits, it not really ESSENTIAL. Like the launchers. They fit, but you would hardly notice their absence. Hope this helped :)
Chef Hatchet Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Pencoin, that comment wasn't exactly necessary. There are no "typical" americans. We differ by the area of the country. People in, say, New York, are different than in Kentucky. So, anyway.. Do we know yet what the Large Sets will be in the summer? (2008 was the T vehicles, for example.) I'm hoping for some sort of large Dragon or something as the $80 set. That'd be pretty badass.

Chef Hatchet Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 It'll be interesting to see them.. Makes we wonder if they're going to have some of the Glatorian in new forms.. Malum REALLY needs a new form..He's really bad.
