Phantoka_Chirox Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 (edited) Ill join you VBBN but Ill join tommorow since its 12 AM here and Im tired =P can you give me a link of the 2009 BIONICLE descussion on your website? EDIT: my name is Imawesomerthanyou Edited January 17, 2009 by Phantoka_Chirox
Bfahome Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 I think he means another set for a team staff review. Main problem with Cendox and team reviews is that you can't justify throwing Cendox down the hallway. I know. That's what I meant. Thornatus: Again, awesome design. It's a dune buggy... except it has a large Hailfire Droid wheel in the back. That's what I thought a first, but if you look closely it's actually one of those wheels used on that giant Exo-Force robot vehicle thing (Mobile Devastator?).
JINZONINGEN73 Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 I loved the original Bionicles, but with each "generation" they just seem to recycle old ideas and make heaps of new pieces long the way. I wouldn't mind it if they halted production of new pieces one year so they could catch up releasing ALL these newer pieces we've been hit with in WAY more colors. They can't do it too long, for part of the excitement that comes with each wave for most people is "What new parts are there?" Why can't they just leave the Bionicles on a high point and move onto something else, like with the old Roboriders? Money. LOTS OF IT. Also, needless to say, it looks like silver is back in full, guys. :( Yeah, that's pretty depressing actually. Cute how they faked us out into thinking they might have gotten smart and gone back to colors. Colors = mocs = people buying more sets. They're thinking too small.

I doubt they still have the mold for the Hailfire wheels. ~Bunda Edit: You can't see the images in my sig or avatar, can you? I should have hosted them on my Photobucket instead of being evil and direct linking from Bulbapedia. Now the site asploded. >_<

Anywho, I'm happy that Kaxium has two white firgures. I want more white figures, and more trans-blue heads.

hewkii9 Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 And I shall be adding in a BST and MOC section later on. While you're at that, why is 2001-2004 labeled the Mata Nui saga? Shouln't that be 01'03?

Matsuoka Nui Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) Sweet!!!! Is it ready for the public???? I'll join if it's ready!!!!! Edit: Get ready because I'm coming!!! I will call myself Toa Mata Nui 2!!! Toa Mata Nui Edited January 18, 2009 by Toa Mata Nui
The Alchemyst Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Right, that's what I meant BFA, thanks for the correction. Anyway, originality is great. And I'm loving Cendox the most. I love those speeders. [-The Alchemyst-]
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) The Thornatus is growing on me... as someone else pointed out, it looks like it's slapped together from whatever the builders could find and is ready to fall apart any minute. As long as it doesn't actually do that in set form, I think it fits Bara Magna excellently. =D My only gripe is the abundance of silver weapons... but again, adds to the slapped-together look. -Ikk Edited January 18, 2009 by Ikki o' Moopyville
Klonoa Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Overall, I'm not incredibly impressed by these, but time will tell. Something strange: Besides masks, do you see any new pieces? I'd actually be glad if we get a break from new molds to get more recolors.
The Alchemyst Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 New pieces? On the sets? Lots of the weapons and armor for the summer sets. We have that Silver Kanohi Crast. Which means we'll actually be getting a recolor of a mask. Except the mask isn't a traditional mask. D: Looks like I'll be getting Cendox at least, it's the cheapest, and has some good parts. And please let that mask be like the Halo Helmet. Really want Toyfair pics soon. The blurb that is Stronius [And basically every other Glatorian] needs to be clearer. Saw Gresh and Skrall in a Display case in Target. I have to say, I like Skrall more. Maybe it was the posing, but Gresh looked plain. Love his weapons though. [-The Alchemyst-]

It's the fact that it (looks like) a Jetrax mod that bothers me. Hopefully it's more unique and the pic is just bad. ~Bunda
---Vertea--- Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 I WANT TOY FAIR!!!!!I also want Gelu's weapons. I want the same thing! Gelu is the coolest white set so far! I will definitely get her, the motorcycle dudes, and Cendox! And Mats, too since he's just that bad-megablocks. Tho, who knows, we might change opinions after Toyfair. C'mon January! Leave already! Except that I'mpsyched 'cause we get the new season of House on Monday, Fringe on Tuesday, and LOST on wednsday! PLUS the new season of Primeval starts soon!

And please let that mask be like the Halo Helmet. I think it looks more like a Samus helmet. i think lol ALSO: some of the vehicles have Midak launchers. Skopio has two Midaks and a Thornax on its tail. :/ Edited January 18, 2009 by Bfahome

Konnor Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 I think it looks more like a Samus helmet.i think lol Well, they finally had that baby, then.
Can Calyx Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 I have money for Strakk, Skrall, or Vorox. Which should I blow $13 on?
The Alchemyst Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Vorox or Skrall But it depends on what you're looking for. MOCing parts, new pieces or just looking cool. From what I heard, Vorox and Strakk have small heads, and Skrall has some articulation problems. [-The Alchemyst-]

From what I heard, Vorox and Strakk have small heads, and Skrall has some articulation problems. [-The Alchemyst-] Strakk's head isn't too small, but Vorox's was somewhat of a surprise. (don't has Skrall) I recommend Strakk.
