1: The Stolen Mask, Part:1

Berix ran as fast as he could. He was running so fast that he didn't look were he was going and ran into Ackar.
"Berix!" Ackar said, slightly annoyed. "What are you doing?"
"The Mask!" Berix stuttered. "The mask of Life's been stolen."
"Impossible!" Ackar said. "The shrine is armed by our best Glatorian. No one can get through."
"Well someone has." Berix explained. "I went to the shrine and found the Glatorian dead."
"Call a meeting with the elders." Ackar said. "We need to do something about this."

Raanu was surprised to hear that the mask had been stolen. He and Mata Nui weren't the best of friends but he respected him for all that he gave them. He, Vakama and Nokama lead the council of the elders. The meeting took place in the New Atero Arena since the old on was destroyed. Several chroniclers were present including Berix and Raanu's Matoran friend: Karni.
"Let the meting of the elders begin." Vakama said.
"The mask of life has been stolen and we must find it." Gresh said, "Not just for Mata Nui but because in the wrong hands it can cause dangerous destruction, enough to rip the planet apart again!"
"May I suggest sending a group of Toa and Glatorian to find the mask." Raanu said.
"A chronicler can join them to record the density of these heroes." Karni said.
"I suppose you mean you, don't you Karni." Nokama said.
"Yes, Turaga." Karni replied.
"Very well then." Nokama said. "And what of the Toa and Glatorian."
"I shall go!" Gresh said. "I'm not going to let this planet die again!"
"I will go as well!" Kiina said. "I Mata Nui ever returns he will need that mask to do so."
"Your not going without me." Tahu said. "Unity is the first of the three virtuals.
"And Duty is the second." Ackar said. "That is why I wish to remain here to defend the villagers. I promised Mata Nui that I would protect us all, and I will do this by remaining here to defend everyone."
"I have no obligations." Vakama said. "Tahu, Gresh and Kiina will find the mask of life and Karni will be there chronicler."
The team left the village and began their quest to find the Mask of Life...

Bionicle Classic Reviews: Toa Marhi Jaller

Hi,
This is the first of the Bionicle Classic Reviews and I am starting with Jaller. He is a awesome set and has some good features. I really liked 2007 because it was a great year for Bionicle. I think it was a really good idea to do a year of Bionicle underwater. Anyway, 2007 has been and gone and we all know what happened. But that's one reason why I'm doing this review, to bring us back to the amazing world of Bionicle. O.K. enough of that, lets get on with the review.


The build was amazing. It was very unique and I have no complaints at all. I'm giving it a 10/10

The pieces in this set are amazing. And if your wondering why its just the 'Pieces' instead of the 'New Pieces', its because the pieces aren't new any more, back in 2007 they were awesome and new, now they are just awesome. It will be like this for all the Bionicle Classic Reviews but it is only a minor change. Anyway, the mask is awesome and really gives him a underwater feel, it attaches to the tube pieces which then attach onto the chest. The chest armour is awesome and is exclusive to this set. It comes with 2 chest pieces: One on the chest and one used as the body of the crab. Also, their is a Cordak Blaster which attaches onto the Crab and shoots really well but it is easy to lose them. Unfortunately, it doesn't come with the Glatorian hand pieces but those pieces weren't made yet and its only a minor con. I'm giving the pieces a 9/10

The playability is quite good but you will eventually get board. To make it so that you won't get board you will need to get some of the other Toa Marhi and Barraki. I'm giving the playability a 6/10

Overall, I think this Toa Marhi is great. As you know I always like the red ones because they are all so awesome. It was a cool idea to have a crab with come with this set. Overall, I'll give him a 9/10


I hope you enjoyed this review, next will probably be Toa Mahri Kongu. Please share your thoughts,

Bionicle Stars: Skrall Reveiw

Hi,
This set is my brothers and he got it when I got Gresh. The Bionicle Classic Review's are going to be starting soon but I had to get Gresh and Skrall reviewed first. Anyway, Skrall is a awesome set and has a cool new black and green colour scheme. Now for the Build...


... it was different. Instead of attaching the head to the body piece it attach's to leg piece which is connected to the body. I like the build and am going to give it a 6/10

Their are no new pieces but their are a few re-colours. Most notably the black Kopaka sword. I'll give the new piece's a 6/10

Playability, not good on its own but with some other Bionicle Stars (I would recommend Gresh) you'll have loads of fun. I'm giving the playability a 5/10

Overall I do like this set because it has a cool colour scheme and he just looks awesome. I would recommend to buy him and Gresh together because they a both from Bara Magna and you can make your own battles with them. For those reasons I'm giving him a 8/10


Next will be the Bionicle Classic Reviews. Please share your thoughts,

Bionicle Stars: Gresh Reveiw

Hi,
Sorry for the delay on the Bionicle Classic Reviews but I've got two more Bionicle Stars to review. I got Gresh and my brother got Skrall. I still haven't got the Rahkshi so don't expect a review of that for a while. Anyway, lets talk about Gresh.


The build was O.K. but its no better than Takanuva and Tahu. I giving it a 5/10

Their are a good amount of new pieces. You get Gresh's weapons in a solid silver colour which is cool but they are to big for him. The mask is re-coloured into a light green colour which is nice. The feet are the same as Tahu and Takanuva's except they are in light green. I really like the body/shoulder armour pieces, they have more of a Jungle/Vine feel. I'll give the new pieces a 9/10

Playability, Blah Blah Blah, I'm giving it a 5/10

Overall I think Gresh is awesome. The new piece's are good and their are a few re-colours. Their is no question that overall he's worth a 9/10


Next review will be Skrall and then (Unless I get the Rahkshi) I will Start Bionicle Classic Reviews. Please share your thoughts,

Bionicle Stars: Piraka Reveiw

Hi,
This set is my brothers and he got it the same time I got Tahu. This will be the last Bionicle Stars review for a while but their will be Bionicle Classic reviews of sets from 2007 coming soon. He has 15 pieces which is less than the others but I don't mind. In the story he is Nektann but the product is called Piraka, probably because he looks a lot like a Piraka but he is cool because we've never seen a Skakdi figure before. I think the thing that makes a Piraka a Piraka is the awesome white teeth which this one is missing but he still has all the other features of a Piraka.


The build was not as good as the other Bionicle Stars. I'm giving the Build a 4/10

Their is 1 new piece and 4 re-colours. The new piece is the head/spine and it is awesome, it connects in a cool way. The re-colours are the arms and legs. I would give the New Pieces (or New Piece in this case) a low score but because it is so cool I'll give it a 8/10

And now for playability, not good on its own but together with the other Bionicle Stars its great. I'll give the playability a 5/10

Overall, I like this set. He may not have that many New Pieces or a very simple build but he looks awesome. Worth the price you pay and Overall he gets a 7/10


Next will be the Classic reviews, then the rest of the Bionicle Stars. Please share your thoughts,

Blast from the Past!!!

Hi,
Soon I will be reviewing some of the Bionicle sets from 2007. Although I have been collecting since 2005, 2007 was the year I became a serous collector. I will start these review's with the Toa Marhi then move onto the Baraki and so on. Please note that I will not be reviewing all the sets from 2007 because their are 2 or 3 that I haven't got. Please share your thoughts,

Bionicle Stars: Tahu Reveiw

Hi,
I got Tahu on while he was on sale and he is awesome. My favourite Bionicle Star. I've always liked Tahu. The Mistika version was, and still is, one of my favourite Bionicle's ever. I all like the red ones and just have to buy them. I'm not sure what it is but something makes all those red Bionicle's cool.


The Build, same as Takanuva's, was simple. I'm giving the build a 5/10

Their are a lot of new pieces, most are re-colours though. I think this set is great for new pieces and If you make a lot of MoC's then this is a must have. I'm giving the new pieces a 9/10

Playability, I think you all know by now, is not good on its own, but together with some other sets the playability is great. I'm giving the playability a 5/10

Overall, Tahu is a great set and I would recommend getting him first. Because I am a huge Tahu fan, and because its the end of Bionicle, I'll give him a 10/10


Thanks for reading this review. Expect a review of the Piraka soon. Please share your thoughts,

Bionicle Stars: Takanuva Reveiw

Hi,
My Brother has had this set for a while and now I am going to review him. Takanuva is cool but he's not my favourite Bionicle Star (My favourite is Tahu). Anyway, he is basically the same size as Will Furno but Takanuva has more pieces. Now for the build...


...it is very simple. Same as a Matoran really. I wish for the end of Bionicle they would make at least make some Glatorian size characters. Anyway, for the same reasons as Will Furno, I will give the build a 5/10

The aren't as many as many new pieces in Takanuva as their were in Will Furno but I still think their are some cool pieces. The body armour is new and so are his feet. The arm/leg pieces are a new colour but not a new piece. The golden armour is the same as the body armour, it can also be used as shoulder armour. I'll give it a 8/10

Same as Will Furno, the playability is not so good on its own, but together with some of the other Bionicle Stars it would be very fun so I'll give a 5/10

Over all he is cool but, as I said before, I would like him better if he was Glatorian size. I don't see why he has two Light Staffs but they do make him look cooler. I like the white and silver colour scheme but I wish they would stick to the original white and gold. Also, the head looks a bit hunched over because of the transparent-yellow piece. I think it is worth the price so I'll give it a 8/10


Thanks for reading this review. I will probably get the other Bionicle Stars and review them.
