OUTTA MY WAY, SKULL-SPIDER FUKKEN SHITS!

>>4592266

>>4592271
Awh thats ok nostalgia-kun, I greatly enjoy how this reboot is nothing more than a reskin of the glorious system used from hero factory :^)

Who else tries to include weapon gimmicks into mocs?
I'm building a rhotuka launcher on my latest toa

>>4592281
Not sure if it counts, but my latest incarnation of Big Boris has a Hero Factory zamor/thornax launcher in his right arm

>>4592273
Exactly: don't fix what isn't broken. (unlike lime-green Bonkle-sockets)

I just hope some larger titans bring along some good technic heavy builds. Ccbs is alright, but it works best with technic,not devoid of it.

Also, why are Kopaka and Tahu 20$ each? Onua I get with 108 pieces, but Tahu has 89, only two more than Gali.

And the protectors have about 70 pieces each... so 10$ feels right.
it seems they're charging a few dollars more than they normally would here, but I didn't buy more than two hero factory sets
Is this pricing model normal?

>>4592296
>Is this pricing model normal?

I'll get my charts...

>>4592296
are you poor?

>>4592296
>>4592302

>>4588830

>>4592305
No, it just perplexes me that LoSS is a set with 145 pieces for 15$, when Pohatu has 66 pieces for the same price. One of these sets is clearly a better deal in terms of how much plastic you get.

I'm curious as to their rarionale -- are they charging more for Kopaka, Tahu, and Onua just because they were popular in G1 and in group testing? It doesn't seem to be based on piece count at all.

I'd rather the 10 cents a piece pricing they usually do for brick sets, but I understand ccbs and technic parts are generally larger and cost more to make, but LoSS follows the 10c/part pricing closely, where Pohatu is ~22 cents per piece.

That one is (a) incomplete, and (b) not adjusted for inflation

>>4592318
I have an idea anon. Get a job and save up enough pocket money, its your favorite franchise being rebooted, do you not care enough to disregard pricing and happily pay whatever the cost?

>>4592318
LOSS uses a lot of tiny, cheap technic pieces, whereas Tahu uses a lot of huge, expensive CCBS plates. While he does have only two more pieces than Gali does, the average size and cost of his pieces is a bit higher than hers.

>>4592318
Loss isn't very well designed though. It only has one point of articulation per leg, which is kinda laughable really. Especially for a creepy crawly spider.

I have a job, anon, and I'm not concerned about being able to afford them. It was the apparent price-to-piece discrepancy that had me curious as to whether this was normal or not since I didn't buy into HF, as I said before.

>>4592324
Good point, those swords look freakin huge.

And thanks for the charts, fellas. It's weird how the smaller sets are a better deal, but I always found little incentive to buying the small sets, outside of the Voya Nui matoran -- all those Hordika necks -- but now I'm definitely gonna pick up a couple of them.

Dead thread, let's liven it up with some discussion.

Do you guys think they're going to do a revised Bohrok/Nuva story line?

HF had the same characters over and over again, so there's G1 and HF precedent for it.

How many versions of the Okoto 6 are we gonna get?They already look like they hybridized the best of their Mata/Nuva forms. If there are Nuva (or a renamed equivalent), how much silver will there be?

>>4592456
nuva is a term that was thrown out, its just gonna be masters from here on out

>>4592456
I think we're going to see a more well thought out version of the story up to 03

>Bohrok/Bohrok Kal combined with rubber mask return
>Maybe not Rahkshi, but some villains that are unique instead of a swarm
>No Nuva I dont think but some kind of upgrade.
>Takanuva possible returns
>Uses Vahi instead of Avohkii but Vahi is a modified version to be more of a full mask with Avohkii throwbacks
>Gunmetal, white, gold (no silver) and a very large set. Lots of features to fully distinguish from Kopaka

I also think Bionicle will develop more of it's own identity the further it evolves from Hero Factory. Just like HF did from Bionicle and Bionicle did from Slizer

>>4592456
>The Okoto 6

Sounds like a band

>>4592456
>Do you guys think they're going to do a revised Bohrok/Nuva story line?
I fucking hope so. An official, revamped CCBS Bohrok equivalent would be fucking tops.
Shit, they could do like they are with the Toa and make one a unique variant on a central theme

>How many versions of the Okoto 6 are we gonna get?
Well, judging by pic related, I predict at least six more waves, one for each planet and a new form for each Toa per planet.

> If there are Nuva (or a renamed equivalent), how much silver will there be?
If it's close to the above, I doubt that there will be very much. TLG used up most of their silver budget in 2008.

>>4592465
>Gunmetal, white, gold
>Gunmetal
Fucking THIS.
MORE TITANIUM METALLIC
I want an Onua/Earth Toa set that is 40% black, 30% purple, and 10% Gunmetal.
Just grimdark brooding completely thrown on its ass by transparent lilac

>>4592472
just buy some hero factory sets and moc. lego won't do everything for you

>>4592456
If they introduce three more skull spider variants (like the red ones from the comics) to cover the rest of the G1 mask powers, I could imagine an upgrade where Ekimu or some other mask maker fuses the Toa's masks with the spiders to grant them some abilities beyond basic elemental stuff. It would cater to nostalgia and open up some interesting design opportunites.

>>4592472
Gunmetal Takanuva titan is probably one of the sexiest sets. And now, the gunmetal on Lewa are incredible. They really need that instead of just silver and gold everywhere

Also, an addendum, I think we'll see like a Hordika variant but with the Okoto Toa. Beefed up hulking monsters that have to overcome their montrous urges. Not shitty sets like the original Hordika were

>>4592477
This
which backfires and leads to this: >>4592479

>>4592479
I don't think hordika will happen, maybe beast themed masks like hero factory savage planet was.

>>4592482
I don't think it would back fire when Chima was very successful with monstrous designs and some of the most creative ccbs usage that even hero factory failed to live up to.

>>4592490
That doesn't sound very profitable if they all take on the same insect theme and not vary it up with various incests and recycle some past set parts to save on making new molds cost.

Really, Bohrok seem to be the most profitable and interesting decision. Swarm opportunity and lots of neat ideas they could incorporate

>>4592497
I'd argue something like brain attack is what would happen, which some villagers getting infected with a new type of spider that attaches on the top of the head and becoming monsters.

but yeah, again, that's what I meant.
Instead of morphing into fish-and-parrot monsters, each Toa gains attributes and weaknesses based on a particular arthropod/invert

>Copac = frosty beetle
>Potato = Scorpion (ROCK you like a HURRICANE!)

a bunch of parts i bought from BL have just arrived, so i took some time to fashion myself a new MOC. the waist articulates on a single forward-backward axis, with a little room to rock left-right. the ribbed hose flexes as the torso articulates.

TL;DR i feel like a pro. rate my torso build, /biog/

So let's discuss the inevitable Bohrok reboot eh?

>No longer small, almost as large as the Toa
>Giant hand shields
>Kal powers
>Still have krana
>Each one built differently to determine their traits
>Can talk out loud
>Maintains neck mechanism using new gear function

>>4592536
>>Still have krana

>>4592541

Just using rubber masks similar to krana concept

>>4592544
Spidermasks was the correct answer.

>>4592536
Better yet:
>Each has one of two different functions
>A head-smash, or a rubberband-facilitated arm-grab
>These are two "castes" within each breed
>Each figure has alternate instructions to build each caste
>Bohrok Kaita are now canon, have both head-ram and grab features
>rather than being facehuggers, Krana are now "core-infestors," latching on to the chests of their victims
>This allows for multiple levels of parasitic control with the Skull spiders
>Each subsequent wave will introduce a new parasite/symbiote that attaches to a different body part
>Full parasite armor
>FULL
>PARASITE
>ARMOR

>>4592534

>Bionicle has always been handled by DC

not during 2011 - 2014

>>4592554
yes and no.

I wanted Bionicle to come back
I wanted a nice integration of CCBS and Technic for both playability and without alienating any HF fans as well as Bionicle fans
I also wanted the story to change to keep its level of mystery without the bullshit.

So yes, with the exception of a few minor things, I am incredibly excited for its return

>>4592561
>sometimes people just wanna talk about bionicle/ccbs

>>4592534
Good, I presume you're going to make your MOC on the skinnier side.

I was going to add something like that to the torso of my MOC but ended up scrapping it as I feared it was going to get a little floppy with the extra bulk of the torso/arms.

>>4592534
Mind of I borrow that torso design? I have something I'm working on that it'd b perfect for.

A lot of the CCBS hate in these threads is actually just some fag(s) baiting, and sadly people keep falling for it.

>all those protectors having way more parts per dollar

This is good news for me, because I like the protector designs more.

Though I can't help that this is -largely- due to the fact that the protectors have stud launcher guns, and the masters have simple single piece weapons.

>>4592517
Lobsters and crabs don't have those mate.

>>4593103
I know Lego has always done this with Bionicle, but it seems really odd they wouldn't get these out in time for the holidays more widely. I've never really understood why. Even if Lego is a Denmark company, the holiday market in the US is ridiculous.

I know some people who get money from relatives and will purchase after the holidays, but they only need to release 2 weeks earlier to get the gift-sales.

Anyone here have experience with how insurance works on Bricklink?
I ordered some parts and one is missing from the package, but there are no signs of damage or tampering. This would suggest that the seller forgot to put it in there.
On their store page, they mention that "If you don't choose insurance, you do so at your own risk and may not make a claim through Paypal." I did not choose insurance.
My question is, does insurance explicitly cover broken items/damaged packages, or could I demand a refund since the seller forgot to put the item in the package?

Is it okay to /r/ Bulky Technic/CCBS MOCs? Whatever I build with CCBS always seems empty and hollow but when you guys post them they look sturdy and full and lively and awesome. I do okay with regular Lego bricks though,

The HF Mechs are shitty out of the bag, especially the white one but I've seen good MOCs with them. Can anyone help me out? Which sets should I buy, Technic or CCBS that have lots of such pieces? A friend bought be the Chi Raven thing because I like Lego but I'm not sure what to do with it honestly.

>>4593892
Technic because CCBS is shité

I don't understand this meme

I'm buying the Protector sets when they debut and probably just Lewa ot of the Toa, because he was my favorite, but I want recommendations for other sets. I don't really care if they're HF or Chima or Technic, I just what to know what other people have bought that they have found useful for MOCing mecha suits.

>>4593905
Only buy bonkle. They are good and untainted unlike hero poop. Chima is just straight up heresy for being animals.

Besides a few promotional polybags (that are hard to get a hold of in countries that don't have LEGO Brand Stores), the cheapest HF sets go for $10.

44023 Rocka Crawler and 44024 Tunneler Beast contain good parts for the summer HF sets.

However, 44015 Evo Walker from the first wave also contains some really good parts.

Rocka Crawler and Evo Walker both contain good mech parts, but Rocka Crawler contains fewer bone pieces. It instead has the fun kaiju egg and the very versatile small torso piece, also used in next year's Protectors.

Evo Walker includes some useful bone pieces, including the double-socket and the 1x3 Technic beam w/ ball. No torso, but it comes with two more jumper beasts than Rocka.

It's confirmed you guys. The reason Lewa isn't a Toa of Air anymore is because LOSS squeezed it out of him. Also confirms that Lewa gets BTFO by the villains, again.

Huh. Neat.

Dinoman wins simply for the parts usage.
Snake Makuta has a great shape and color.
I can see what the Samurai one is trying to do but I feel it didn't turn out as well as it could.
The other three are just big with varying degrees of clusterfuck.

Anyone know how to make Mata feet more stable?

Aww come on. The Toys R Us near me has tons of the Breez figures, but none of this beauty. And this is the one I'd want. Small, concise and with a reasonable number of trans pieces. It's not fair that I can't have it.

Speaking of the Toys R Us, each time I've asked at the customer service they've told me they won't get any Bionicle in until after Christmas. I'm starting to think they're telling the truth.

>Technically speaking, she also "cheated", since she had access to 15 parts that were not available to the public yet.

I never understood why the BZP admins who got a hold of the new sets can use those parts and not be disqualified. That's some grade A bullshit right there.

Yeah I agree. So what if females can build 'decent' mocs? If SJWs want equal standing shouldnt that already go without saying? Why must the writer give females special treatment when SJWs cry over the fact that women parkings exist?
