M-minus fire plane

The M-minus fire plane is used mostly for low altitude sweeps of an area. The twin nozzles not only deliver massive amounts of water, but can swivel around 180 degrees!

LEGO has just announced that 2010 will be the last year for new Bionicle sets; starting summer 2010 a new line of similar buildable figures will be released. This will mark the end of nine years since the arrival of the first Toa in 2001. Below is the official announcement from LEGO:

Dear BIONICLE Fans,

In reviewing the business across all of its play patterns and properties, the LEGO Group faced a tough question: should we take on a new creative challenge in the world of buildable figures that we pioneered in 2001?

BIONICLE re-invented the way consumers think of and play with the LEGO system. Through many chapters of compelling story and innovative product development, BIONICLE became a very strong property and an important part of The LEGO Group’s business. We think there is a significant opportunity to grow the buildable figure category, but it will take a more flexible platform that appeals to a wider range of ages through a variety of different entry points than BIONICLE has proven to deliver.

The easy decision would be to stick with a known entity in BIONICLE; but as history has proven, The LEGO Group achieves its greatest success by embracing the uncertainty that innovation brings. After all, BIONICLE almost never launched because it was such a big risk to the company’s way of doing business.

Because you have been such an important part of building the BIONICLE franchise and have been among its most valued fans, we are writing to tell you that the six BIONICLE Stars launching in January will be the last BIONICLE sets for the foreseeable future. Beginning in summer 2010, The LEGO Group will debut a new, more flexible buildable figure property created by the same people who brought you BIONICLE. At the same time, we are also expanding the category to appeal to a younger audience through an established third-party property, starting in January.

Since its beginning, BIONICLE has reflected the union of great product and a compelling story. Although there presently are no plans for more sets, the BIONICLE story is not ending. BIONICLEstory.com will remain an active site, with new story content updated by long-time BIONICLE writer Greg Farshtey. In addition, LEGO Group hopes to work with you, the fans, to continue to grow and expand the BIONICLE story universe.

This was an extremely difficult decision for all involved. But as seen in the tales of the Toa, striving for success in any mission requires imagination, new ways of thinking, and the willingness to take risks. We hope you will share the same level of enthusiasm we have for our plans for the buildable figure category.

We invite you to remain a part of the BIONICLE universe—a universe you have helped to build, and that we are confident that you will continue to build—in the future. Thank you for your continued support and dedication to the BIONICLE and LEGO brands.

With our very best regards,
Jan Faltum, Global BIONICLE Director
Lincoln Armstrong, Senior Brand Manager, BIONICLE Team Member since 2002

Hmm

Contemplation today makes me feel like building a walker, so stay tuned

Novvember update

Hi guys

If anyone at all cares, my next moc, a huge, 6-wheeled mammoth truck, will be out tomorrow, so stay posted!

Yeah

No school Thurs+Fri FTW!

Revolver

Ryan Romal (the One And Only Mr.R) came over today with his ODST WIP, including a sawed up harpoon gun. I took another harpoon, and now I know that:

harpoon+hammer+knife+nail-file=revolver

And yes, it still needs some sanding

Also I am in the process of building my biggest project ever, and molding custom pieces, so yeah...

AP-7 Shadow

My brother collected all of my black cheese and slope pieces, and I built something with them. The nose goes up and down, and the cockpit is easy to remove. Built in less than one hour!  

backstory  

Built for quickly dodging oncoming fighters in a dog fight, AP-7 are quick and stealthy. Equipped with all terrain landing gear, they just fly over to the nearest planet, and they can land! When Moderated

Spirit

This is not a Ghost ghost FYI if you still think its a ghost look at the link, ghosts are more bulbous, and blocky. The side jets and guns cannot be found on a ghost, and there is no weird blue tube on the hood. Also wings face other the way on a ghost.  

After the Covenent was defeated, they started working on ProjectS, creating a super vehicle, the Spirit. Capable of taking out all vehicles such as mongooses and warthogs, with ground to air homing missiles that can destroy air combat vehicles with ease. With 4 frontal lasers and homing rocket-launcher, these will pose a large threat to the UNSC!

UNSC vehicle coming soon, I hope!

Yes I know, there is already a spirit, oh well

Bullet Bike, My Latest Creation

I was playing Mario Kart wii, on the mach bike, and decided to build a "mach bike" type motorcycle. I took a skull twin helmet and fiddled around for a while until I had a good "bike" shape. I than added on and on, put a fig on, and photographed it!

I am trying some new photo-editing methods, and I think this turned out well!
