Oh wait.
At least they didn't think up a guy with no limbs and... haha, it would be ridiculous if he could I don' know, FLY with his hair! LMAO! That would be retarded. Oh oh oh and he should SHOOT HIS FIST at bad guys! BWAHAHAHA! What would suck even more was if they got some largely unknown or uncommon Australian animal and he would have some funny attack, like um... spinning!

Oh, please take a moment.
What about a spiky blue mouse-thingy that can run really fast? Now that would be ludicrous.

Nah, I think the most ridiculous idea would be some earthworm in a space suit with a ray gun! That would freak me out more than the end of the world!

*Bump!*



Oh my, I was able to dig up my old BIONICLE collection. I'm on a nostalgic moment! :D

I think next month I'll try to give a look in BrickLink.com, there's a broken piece in my collection that I would like to replace.

One of the best selling collections of all time from LEGO, in such a way that they were initially from the LEGO Technic branch and they became their own branch. I think the golden era was between Year 1 until 3, after the 4th I started to not like how they were treating the series: it started to lack mystery.

But if I am able to select a fav year, I pick the first one. It is a pity I never saw the original Turaga figures and some Rahi figures. (There were really expensive ones!)

Whoa, where did this... oh well, I might as well tell about my childhood toys. But beware, it was all pink and girly and fucking sugary.
I was crazy about My Little Pony when I was a little twerp. Of course not anymore so bronies be quiet. I had like thirty of 'em, I guess.
And also Barbie and... Bratz... you know, Bratz dolls that I thought were like so OOOHEMGEE whenever I got one. Now that I look at these abominations, I scream in pain. Also, I still have a some kind of DVD movie which makes me wanna pluck my eyeballs out.
And then there were those hyperactive pixie things that whenever you pulled a rope out of their ass and release it, they would fly and crash to the wall. Well, I thought they were cool outside.
And millions of other girly things.

Those LEGO 'bots I made were from Exo-Force parts, a pity they ended up being dismantled, they were rather awesome.

If you talk about broken or missing pieces, there's an awesome website named BrickLink: the eBay of LEGOs. It was thanks to it I managed to buy two pieces to replace two broken ones I had.

Oh... Bionicle.. How I always loved it... And I still love. I'm just really displeased about that when I was kid, I always threw the boxes and cans away without thinking how stupid I was. I wish I would have kept them. :( I also have all of my Bionicle parts in few big boxes, so there is really nothing to take a photo of. :tssk:

Bionicle is one of those things everyone including myself collected in our primary school years when they were first released, and then I lost interest a few years later (maybe 2003?) right when it started getting overly complicated and unnecessary, just like Yu-Gi-Oh after the original series.

Right at the height of our class' fandom, the movie was released. Even us, at 7 to 9 years-old, thought he movie was strangely bad. It was just horrendous.

i think Bionicle got too simple at the end, and the characters did not include enough parts. Like body was only one part as a whole, same with the arms and legs etc. You did not need to spend time building the sets. That's the reason why I lost my interest.
