Ikki o' Moopyville Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I think that's a very likely supposition, and it makes me wonder what's beyond the Black Spike Mountains now! Also, come to think of it, we still do not know why or how the Bara Magnans are biomechanical... maybe the effects of EP? -Ikk
Wrinkledlion X Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 They never called it a moon in the story- Wouldn't a desert planet resemble a barren moon somewhat from far away? It's possible that the EO Planet was a moon of Bara Magna.

Well, if Bara Magna is a normal terrestial planet, that's one ducked-up orbit it has.
Brickthing Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Well, if Bara Magna is a normal terrestial planet, that's one ducked-up orbit it has. From the perspective of the Matoran on Mata Nui, I'm sure they could've got it wrong, as they had no experience tracking nearby space objects while in Metru Nui. Besides, that moon of the EO isn't Bara Magna, because the Red Star orbits the EO, but can only be seen faintly from Bara Magna, so the planets are a way away. However, it's still possible for the EO to be Bara Magna's moon, because Bara Magna appears to be waay bigger than the EO if you compare the sizes of Mata Nui and the broken GS to the planets.
~Wrack'n'Ruin~ Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 God, normal cosmology fails at this. EO planet is ball of water with rocky core and ocean floor with biomass. In normal cosmology, that would mean it wouldn't be an especially large planet and most likely in a good orbit with a star. Red Star is a glowing object that orbits the EO planet. for it to be small enough to orbit without causing gravitational problems, it would be orbiting very close. However, the Red Star is apparently bright enough to be seen from Bara Magna, which is also a planet. That would mean Bara Magna is close to the EO planet, like, in the same solar system, in normal cosmology. However, this would imply that they can see the EO planet too. So we'd know if the EO planet was huge and that the Bara Magna planet orbits it because there would be a giant blue ball in the sky. However, it does not and there isn't, so therefore EO is normal-sized. So if they can see the EO, then perhaps it is one of Bara Magna's moons. We haven't seen them yet. There's also the matter of EO planet's moon, which could be the other moon of Bara Magna. Or they're a binary planet system. The only sky we've seen is the one around Mata Nui, so who knows what's on the far side. Or it's something totally different.
Bfahome Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 … I'm perfectly comfortable with waiting until it's revealed to find out. :/ Also, I fixed Zesk so he could look up. No sawing needed.
Bundalings Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Strakk and Zesk finally came. :3 Mini reviews here. <3 Strakk. ~Bunda
Pencoin Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Why must you all tormet me?!?!?! I just hope they get here soon.
VBBN Posted January 10, 2009 Author Posted January 10, 2009 vehicles are listed in the action figure game pdf
Pencoin Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 VBBN, I said that ages ago. We know at least one is going to be a vehicle. Don't forget, Skirmix is listed as a vehicle on brickset, but Vehicles/Creatures are the same.

Pencoin Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I've brought Berix from S@H. I have enough for Gresh, but stinking Post and Packaging means I could't get him...
Brickthing Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I've brought Berix from S@H. I have enough for Gresh, but stinking Post and Packaging means I could't get him... Don't get me started on S@H shipping to New Zealand. I annoyingly just noticed that Tarduk's front and back images have different builds.
Wrinkledlion X Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 This is crazy, guys. I'm posting here on a phone. My mind is blown. And the keys are really tiny. And I'm aware that this is off-topic.
VBBN Posted January 10, 2009 Author Posted January 10, 2009 Skrall has black hands on the latest commercial in the movies section on Bionicle.com.
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I reward you the internet for being awesome. So you won't have to use the phone. Apparently, Danish toy stores now have Agori! =D I could not resist getting Tarduk despite the impending arrival of Vorox and Berix from S@H. Even though I'd been wanting to build Berix first as a homage to my first Bionicle set ever, Gali, Tarduk with his unique junglish vibe and tasty mask tempted me beyond restraint. And here he is, completely apelike and very spiky. I reversed his arms so that his elbows are facing backwards while still keeping the posture. I love him. <3 -Ikk

And the keys are really tiny.And I'm aware that this is off-topic. Okay. =) BTW, I just noticed that the ball on Strakk's ax wrist is... mangled. Not beyond use, but the angle of the ball makes it so he can't hold it loosely, with the hand drooping. He can, however, hold the ax straighter... up... so I guess there's some sort of silver lining. =/ ~Bunda Edit: And no, I have done nothing to cause this defect. So it must have happened while it was being packaged. Edited January 11, 2009 by Bundalings

Pro about the reuse of Av-canisters; 12 different Av-boxes stacked in 4x3 or 6x2 look awesome. (Sadly though, the BIONICLE on the sides of the boxes go different ways on the 08/09 versions. )
Lepaka Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Hey guys. I got Metus... And Raanu, and Zesk, and Atakus, and Berix and Tarduk I got a late christmas present from my mum. They are all awesome, but I think Berix is my fave.
Brickthing Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Blarg, my topic finally about Mata Nui on the map finally got closed. It had a good run though.

VBBN Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 That’s a...big...reveal (maybe you’ll catch the drift, maybe you won’t)
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Here's a thought -- what if the retailers who listed Mata Nui as a yellow set was referring to the gold? Eyes unfamiliar with the shades of Bionicle looking at sets like Brutaka and Tarix could easily mistake that for yellow. He may be tan and gold after all. =D -Ikk
