-- Okay, Matoran are always cool.
-- YAHOO!
-- So, is it better computer effects? No offense, but the first two movies... Well, the effects could have been better. Not as much the third one, but there's always room for improvement.
Also, can you please give us a hint?
-- I've gotta get to New York.
-- Can you post it here, you know, for the members that aren't Brickmasters?
-- I'VE GOTTA GET TO NEW YORK.
I hope the new movies are better, and get better actors, they sounded horrible.
And could you describe the functional weapons? Do they even have any?
I am excited about the 2008 villain sets and movie news, too.
---Good.
---So does that minimize the chance of book loss?
---Discussing the bionicle movie already? Well, at least it will have a great script.
---I better re-subcribe to Brickmaster before then.
Now that is just cool.
More substantial Matoran? does that mean that they are bigger?
2) Well, when I see a set I'll rate It
3) Let's hope they go even better
4) And so... Do you think in 2009 It will be finished?
6) OMG! This looks great! Let's hope you can share us!
7) Please come up with that plan! (It's not far game that Just Zaktan knew about this)

If Greg's buying them, they have to be sweet! No offence, I just got the idea that you don't buy many sets anymore.

Hmm, interesting.

That's great news!

That's got to be super fun

I hope you can too

Better sign up

That means we'll hear about them, sweet!

2008 sounds cool. I can't wait to see the new sets (I expect we'll get real images by December, right?
--BufFooN
That's good to hear, hope the 2009 schedule is at least on par with 2008.
I just got back from that marketing meeting, it was two very long days of hard work and discussion that came to a set of surprising (but in the end very good) conclusions. I've got whiplash from shifting paradigms without using the clutch. But I think everybody walked away (more or less) satisfied. I did.
I'd love to go to the focus group testing but I don't think I'll be able to swing it this time.

Makuta wasn't that bad and In my opinion the guy who played Takua/Takanuva wasn't half bad the others were so-so.
1)Creepy you say?I wonder if this will affect the other sets
2)Finally it's time matoran got some of the Toa's spotlight again
3)So if things go alright we might get atleast one extra book?
4)Who's doing the script can you give us a hint atleast.
5)Will these changes mean more pages and possible retail outside lego magazine?
6)Alright now all I need to do is either find someway to get it off someone who has Brickmaster or get Brickmaster myself
7)Hope it gores well
*Yami*
But he does want more pages in the comics, the're trying to do it next year. That's the last I heard.
