this is OFFICIALLY CREEPY...


I was just thinking about legos when I saw you posted this......

Anyways, I used to be big into the Technic stuff, its still fun to dig out the bin of pieces every once in a while.

Why? can u please explain, rather than giving these vague statements. GEEZ man! I mean come on!!

Did they turn more hazardous? Did it become more obscene? WAs it being sexually offensive? Was LEGO having deragatory pieces being created? So what is this direction ur talkng  about...

Please post fully rather than giving statements like that!!! Thankyou... the board appreciates.

I have no idea what he was referring to, but I don't like Bionacle at all. But then when Lego does make a regular set, there are far too many super-specialized pieces. I miss the old-school castles and space sets.

that is exactly what I mean.  Instead of selling LEGO bricks you can use your imagination with, they sell sets that are not compatible with each other, the sets are worldly, and they are EXPENSIVE.  That is my problem.

By giving "statements like that" as you say, I can see if you are interested before spending an hour smashing my hands into the keyboard.

Cam. . .that really isn't an excuse.  If they ARE interested, then you do have to explain anyways, meaning another un-needed post.  Thats kinda how the boards get littered.  And I don't understand why you just disagree with everything, or say "I don't care" when you don't need to.  If you don't care, please don't post.  It starts arguments.


I don't mean to be kicking you, but I think you should think before you post, and I KNOW I do too, cause alot of my posts are unneccesary as well.  I'll work on my post's if you work on yours :P

Yeah I used to like lego... it's fun just to build random stuff. But I agree, I don't like the direction lego has taken. They hardly have anything available anymore, what they do have is really expensive, and they don't have just the random fun castle, underwater, pirates etc. sets that they used to. I think I still have a pirate ship, a ton of the original star wars ship versions, and a bunch of other old sets in those boxes... I should pull em out sometime and see what I have.
Title: Re: LEGOS!!!
Post by: D-man on December 07, 2007, 03:55:50 PM
Yeah, every time they make another 10 inch, 5 piece set, I get kind of annoyed.

In other words, I don't like all these big, wierd-shaped pieces.

The older sets were definately nicer, and more worth their money.

Dude, have you actually  bought/built any of those sets? They are so tight! I've been collecting since the first came out, and if you don't like the sets at least give the second storyline a look at. It's totally Christian. The Island Mata-nui (earth) is being plagued by the darkness of a once thought to be defeated foe, Makuta,(Satan figure) and unless the 7th Toa, the toa of light, (Jesus figure) is found the whole island will turn evil. They find the seventh toa and he defeats Makuta, and in the end they find out that Mata-nui is not their real home, Metru-nui is, the perfect city.(Heaven)

Yes Lego wanted to expand the whole tecnic universe,they were trying to make a separate system of more human like figures. More recently they have been actually mixing the two to gether so they are starting to merge.

How are they more worldly than any other Lego series.
And dude the sets are only expensive when they first come out. Just wait a couple of months and you can buy them for like $6.50, unless your looking for bigger sets then you can get them on sale for $12.00.

Hey Daniel, pretty cool designs.

I like to build things out of them; I once made a turn based war game and made all the units out of basic bricks.  They had speed(in), along with range, damage, health, and a point cost.

Unfortunatly, they all broke and I don't remember how to put the hero units back together.

+1 to both of you.  Legos were my life until high school.  I loved castle sets and pirate sets.  Then the Johnny Thunder sets were awesome because you could make sweet adventures with them.  Also I enjoyed the first few years of Star Wars legos alot.

All sin is the same in God's eyes.  If you murder someone, it's the same as lying.  You don't get a "Bigger Penalty" for one sin than the other.  All sin can be repented of just as easily as the next.

Post by: BubbleBoy on February 24, 2010, 12:39:00 AM
and as far as bionicle goes... i like those, i tihnk they're cool. but they've just gotten stupid. i mean, the sets befor the under water theme, those where the good ones. i mean, i hope they dont stop making bionicle cause i always enjoy seeing what they make next, but if they keep going in the dirrection their going, they'll eventualy go bankrupt.
I was a die-hard BIONICLE fan for many years. Personally, I thought the underwater theme represented the golden year of BIONICLE, since the way I judge themes usually is by how original each set is. For the first few years, each of the units really had the same basic skeleton, just with different colors, weapons, and masks, and it was really bad until 2007, when they made the Barraki. The following winter 2008 sets were also very well-designed and original, as were all the susequent sets, but that's when they raised their prices from $10 to $13 and I stopped buying them (since I started saving my money for Redemption purposes). Now they are releasing a special set of 6 redesigned versions of the most popular sets from BIONICLE history, and then they are going to be done. However, I hear the storyline will continue.

i think it is already out, but i'm pretty sure you can go to www.legos.com (http://www.legos.com) and find it their. no, i am sure cause i've seen it their.
             



No, its not already out yet, because its rating is pending, and I can't even enter their website, it just redirects me to the same page.  But I think that it will crash and burn.  HARD!  Especially if it comes out at the same time as The Old Republic. :)
