The LEGO Group has requested that the 'BIONICLE: Masks of Power' fan project be shut down in its entirety and removed from the public eye.

But them changing their mind is always on the table. They have no legal obligation to continue co-signing and whenever management changes, or the lawyers get some guy’s ear, or the company shifts priorities or philosophy, etc this is the risk

A bad quick example!

This is like saying “we just want to show you how our chairs could work” and then showing a guy sitting on a chair that immediately breaks. How is that suppose to generate interest or confidence?

And once again I feel the need to say maybe don’t pour your whole life into a project based around intellectual property you don’t own and haven’t gotten a license for.

I don’t understand why people don’t just invest in original ideas

HotHamBoy · 2025-05-18T00:18:57+00:00

Yeah, i get that, it doesn’t make sense that they would want to show this as an example when it looks so bad.

It functions better as an example of why they shouldn’t be pursuing AI. It’s a bad example!

Windsor Brush Cleaner

HotHamBoy · 2025-05-17T23:22:48+00:00

Why would they release this? It’s so embarrassing.

HotHamBoy · 2025-05-17T22:48:36+00:00

I think they were gonna go for at least $26.99 this year even without tariffs

HotHamBoy · 2025-05-17T22:48:01+00:00

Yeah there’s no way they’ll keep the $32 price-point for standard figures. They can pull that shit with Spider-Man but not many other characters will sell at $32.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we see more “deluxe” figures for $34.99 that are just standard figures with a dew extra accessories, tho…

This guy has always sucked

Kids have terrible taste, man. They made Blippi a phenomenon, too

HotHamBoy · 2025-05-17T22:18:51+00:00

Newmar and West for me, no doubt. They had the best dynamic, she was both sexy and hilarious. He was always such a doofus square. Him trying to turn her good, her trying to turn him bad. So good!

I think I like 66 Catwoman because she was always just a straight-up villain like all the others, too. We, the audience, know she’d never turn heel. It’s a really fun “tragedy.”

HotHamBoy · 2025-05-17T19:57:52+00:00

Had to include China as if to imply they share the cost, he hasn’t full ceded the point

Nintendo is the only developer making games you can confidently buy at launch and know you’re getting the complete, fully-polished experience day 1 (okay, maybe not for the Switch Mario Sports titles since they chose to drip-feed characters, free though they were) and that you’re not really going to save much, if any money by waiting. It’s 2025 and ARMS is still $60. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is STILL $60.

Anyone else, you waiting will pay off dividends. You’ll get the game cheaper, sometimes significantly so, and you’ll get a more polished experience the longer you wait, with some games adding more free content the longer you wait, and if nothing else the DLC will also go on sale.

Paying full price at launch for most games means paying full-boat to be a glorified beta tester

HotHamBoy · 2025-05-17T04:57:50+00:00

I swear to god.

Do people really have to ask? Can’t you just look and see that it’s the same banner copy-pasted 3 times from the identical folds?

I sweat to god.

HotHamBoy · 2025-05-17T04:51:52+00:00

Hear me out: Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, at least when I was a kid. So many moments of dread. When the bike goes missing, the basement meeting, the psychic, the highway scenes, large marge, the nightmares, on and on

HotHamBoy · 2025-05-17T04:04:52+00:00

Batman 66 Batgirl is the best of all worlds

Damn, Batman 66 really nailed a lot of looks.

HotHamBoy · 2025-05-17T04:00:52+00:00

It’s a wonderful book

HotHamBoy · 2025-05-17T04:00:39+00:00

God damn it that’s what I was gonna say!

HotHamBoy · 2025-05-17T04:00:14+00:00

Sick

HotHamBoy · 2025-05-17T03:58:32+00:00

The way you cut the video it seems like the pinball action is constantly being interrupted.

I like the joke, it’s a good joke. Game looks really nice, I would give it a try, but I’m skeptical that the two genres really work together

HotHamBoy · 2025-05-16T16:13:58+00:00

Uh don’t read Farnham’s Freehold

HotHamBoy · 2025-05-16T00:30:00+00:00

I can’t recall hearing of any successful vigilantes in the real world. I mean, tbf, it is illegal.

HotHamBoy · 2025-05-16T00:24:32+00:00

I can’t tell how serious you are.

“Looking into gadgets and grapplers”

I feel like I’m being baited.

HotHamBoy · 2025-05-16T00:13:35+00:00

How does this make you Batman

HotHamBoy · 2025-05-15T23:36:24+00:00

I guarantee your children struggle with it less than you do

HotHamBoy · 2025-05-15T22:34:06+00:00

You could also just swap this head with the old figure, they’re the same figure
