IDs for the new metalized / chrome LEGO colors! 486 is gold, found in set 43020 released in March. 487 is the equivalent silver color, found in 77260 released this month. No official names for these yet. Supposedly they are using a new manufacturing process. Hope to see them appearing in more sets!

The full interview, from the August 2000 issue of Animerica. Featuring a rare, cowboy hat-less headshot of McNeil.

"I think Witch Hat Atelier is better than Frieren"... is what I want to say, but they're not even remotely trying to do the same thing. I prefer the far less-derivative fantasy of Witch Hat Atelier, and of course I love serialized mysteries.

Bionicle is back baby

It's pronounced 'data', btw

Getting some 3D views would probably be beneficial for this but, eh.

At this point, Brand New Day might be the last Marbel movie I watch.

Watching someone play FRLG and seeing how slow the HP bar moves ... The most agonizing thing for me about SV is that the battle screens take too long (for some reason slower than prior games), I'm not sure I can handle Gen III.

People buying farmable super credits in Helldivers 2 is basically like crowdfunding for everyone to get free updates.

Me: Factual statement, with a source to back it up. Reddit users: Well you're wrong because that's not my opinion (also I didn't actually read what you said). It's just like how X is like Y. (X is not like Y.)

Google, Meta, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft. None of them should be allowed to continue to exist in their current forms. It's been ridiculous growing up and seeing people be bootlickers to Apple or MS or giving their all to Google or Meta.

And thank god because the original releases were impossible to get your hands on.

Surfing Pikachu aren't in the games because Cramorant hunted them to extinction.

@docwyattbeyond.bsky.social Tormak and Ras are both tigers from the Wyldness, but they look pretty different. Are they descended from the same Tiger Tribe, or were there multiple, separate Tiger Tribes?

It's perfect.

Out of nearly 100 qrts, there was EXACTLY one that rightfully called out this article as clickbait and provided a contextual screenshot of what they actually meant This isn't Gen AI, nor is it a misinformed executive. It's the same team that weathered the CGI boom saying they're ready for round two

Now that this set is definitely not coming out, this is the parts list for 71501 Game Island Tower from LEGO DREAMZzz. This inventory was only accessible on the ICT for a brief period. Actually big enough that I need to split this in two. Wonder how much BSKY will compromise these. :)

Since the cat has been out of the bag now for a while, many of the inventories I have posted have been from the inventory comparison tool on BrickLink: www.bricklink.com/v3/inventory...

People really like calling things "leaked" when it's just taken from publically accessible records. Does the word "leak" generate more clicks? Has the word "leak" lost its meaning too? Probably.

Marshadow is a guide/watcher for Ho-Oh's "champion". Zarude is born from an egg brought from the future by Celebi. Zeraora... exists in the same movie as Lugia. There's certainly ideas in Zeraora but how does it relate to Lugia? I know that it should because that's the gimmick of this mythical trio.

Because I haven't seen anyone say this yet, the last figure that people can't seem to pinpoint I am convinced is Young Master Chen. If you look at the rest of the selection and compare the hairline with the graphic novels. Chen is a crucial character to the Serpentine War story. :)

Okabe Rintaro is indirectly a Char clone.

Zamor news! 6027619 / 54821 / BALL Ø16,5 / Color 181 (12.mult) uses colors 126 Tr. Bright Bluish Violet and 268 Medium Lilac. It appears in prototypes for Galaxy Squad sets 70702 and 70703, which would eventually use 6030826, which is purely color 126.

Not going to comment on Kamala Harris, but... do people not know what pronouns are? "We" is a pronoun. "It" is also a pronoun. They, them, he, him, she, her, us, you. All of those are pronouns.

I can pretty much never bring myself to hate art. I don't hate any BIONICLE set, I don't hate any Pokémon design, I don't hate any Minecraft block, I don't hate any Gundam protag. I appreciate some more than others, and for those I don't it usually just means I haven't spent enough time with them.

People keep complaining about some damn windows in Z-A and I never noticed them in the 4ish days I isolated myself from the internet to play without spoilers. Instead I was completely immersed in the game.

Before I played Halo Wars, where there is a vehicle unit named the Wolverine, it never occured to me that there is a species of animals called wolverine, I thought the Marvel character was just called that just because it sounds cool I guess.

New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings “Big tech has made their choice” www.404media.co/google-has-c...

A Star Wars news outlet saying the Star Wars manga is one of the best manga... Surely no bias to see here. Curious what manga is being used as a frame of reference, though.

One month after the fragile ceasefire in Gaza, the Israeli army continues to breach it, launching attacks on Palestinians, killing civilians, detonating residential buildings inside the “yellow line,” and restricting agreed-upon humanitarian aid deliveries.

Cancel culture is too woke, it won't cancel me 😔

Wow Microsoft is evil?! Who would have thought...

While hating on CC, I think I forgot just exactly how bad ZZ is, omg.

FYI, the norm on Swedish sub-reddits seems to be fascism denial. Just sayin'

I didn't know since I didn't have this piece, but the Pirakha eye piece has the Three Virtues symbol! It's really cool #bionicle

@joemerrick.bsky.social www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

How could I even begin to like a technology when the people pushing it are performing DDoS attacks on the websites I frequent?

I cannot overstate just how awful this stupid fucking bill proposal is - adding backdoors into encryption on OS level - "sniff" every single message before it gets encrypted AND SAVE IT CENTRALLY - let a goddamn hallucinating "AI" mark people as criminals it needs to be stopped, post haste

@iwritewrongs.bsky.social Final guesses for the elements:

So, I think copper golems have a pretty strong north-west biased. :/

Superman/DCU thoughts: It's not a bad movie, but by no means am I amazed either. It's more like a return to kinda good superhero movies. The greatest thing it does is comment on our contemporary world.

As an update on this - Things are pointing towards these two sets having been part of a second wave for 2012, not retailer exclusives.

Updated theory on the cancelled Breakout sets. If the last two sets are 6226 and 6294, then it also becomes possible for all of the sets to be lined up in orderly Hero-Villain parts.

A couple of unreleased Alien Conquest (2011) sets: 9351 and 9352! :) (It's the two sets to the left, 9351 being the blue jet-copter and 9352 the alien crawler.) Since these are in a different product number range, I would guess these were intended as retailer exclusives, but that's speculation.

@docwyattbeyond.bsky.social 1) Is the element of Balance a "misnomer" like Lloyd's (Life) Energy, or does it have the same relation to the SD of Balance that Lloyd's power has to the SD of Life? 2) Any chance you can reveal what kind of animal Zarkt is?

Been struggling for the past year to get into anime I haven't already seen. Maybe I have hit the bottom for things that interest me lol. idk. There is a handful of exceptions, but with some shows it feels like I'm forcing myself, and that's not counting ones I dropped on Ep 1.

TBH I think Minecraft is the only game I've played with a "creative mode" without asanine flight mechanics. Like, why is Halo's forge mode made to be such an intolorable experience?

40169 looks to be a 2016 BIONICLE set. Cancelled polybag? A weapon with a gear function, maybe? 43990 and 43991 are also EVO and TOXIC REAPA from Breakout, respectively. Not sure why those are duplicated, but they're the exact same as the regular sets.
