Galidor Galidor is a theme introduced in 2002 . It was based on Galidor , a CG - intensive , science - fiction television series broadcast on Fox Kids and later on ABC Family . Production of the show was partially funded by LEGO , which produced a line of sets to go along with it , all based on a simplified action - figure structure vaguely similar to BIONICLE , which had been introduced the previous year . Background . " Galidor - Defenders of the Outer Dimension " followed the adventures of Nicholas Bluetooth and his friend Allegra Zane , two teenagers who find themselves warped to Galidor , a world in the Outer Dimension which is being threatened by the evil Gorm . Nick and Allegra were brought there by the robot Jens , who sent a transdimensional pod to Earth to retrieve the prince of Galidor , hidden away from Gorm until he would be old enough to fight him . Once on Galidor , Nick discovers that he has the power to " glinch " - alter his limbs to copy those of anybody he meets , gaining any special abilities they have in the process , such as extendable claws or a powerful jump . Plot . Nicholas Bluetooth , an American teenager , is suffering from peculiar dreams , in which he sees fantastical creatures on an alien landscape , and a strange man . < br > One night , he is awoken from a dream , and discovers a strange object floating by his bed . It is a large metal ring , which creates a 3D projection of a map . Nicholas ' s friend , Allegra Zane , deciphers the map . It leads them to a sewer chamber , where they find a mysterious large vehicle . Nick goes in to investigate , Allegra following , and the craft takes off . < br > It lands in the strange landscape from Nick ' s dream , where they encounter a robot , Jens . Jens tells them that he sent the craft to find a great warrior , and accuses Nick of stealing it . While he repairs the ship , which suffered some damage upon landing , Nick and Allegra sleep . Nick dreams of a mysterious woman , who tells him to " follow his heart " to " defeat Gorm " . He is then awakened by Allegra ; a mysterious storm is blowing towards them . Jens states the the storm is actually Gorm . A giant projection of Gorm ' s head tries to capture Allegra , but she is saved by Nick , who somehow switches arms with Jens , allowing him to reach out and pull her inside the vehicle . Jens tells Nick that he has " glinched " : Switched limbs with another entity . This means that Nick " is " the warrior Jens sought . They then proceed to fly off in the craft , to find Euripides , the former arch - philosopher of the royal court of Galidor ; only he can lead them to Galidor . < br > While in - flight , Allegra tries to find out how to control the vehicle , to use it to return home . However , she almost kills Nick by opening an airlock , and crash - lands them . Fortunately , they had already reached their destination . The group leaves the vehicle , and Jens wonders where Euripides is . He determines that he must have gone to the top of a large rock formation , so the group sets off that way . While Allegra and Jens climb the formation , Nick is forced to return to the vehicle ( which he dubs " The Egg " ) , to recover the Map . He is then accosted and dragged underground by an Aquart . Features . It was the " glinching " limb - switching ability that formed the core mechanic of the Galidor sets . Each set contained an action figure composed of about a dozen parts , connected by standard pins , typically at the neck , shoulders , elbows , hips and knees . Despite being one of the poorest - performing lines ever produced by LEGO , this concept would later be adapted for reuse with the Ben 10 license , which also performed poorly .
