Easily, that pic isn't canon.
So lets say you could save CCBS with a brand new theme, what theme would you come up with and why?
Curious to see if anyone have any good ideas that arent just lets try bionicle again.
>>6348224
Well, let's try bionicle again. XD
In all seriousness though, perhaps do something like the lego creator packs do, three build instructions in a box, but you only have enough pieces to do one of them. You could even place branding on it, they already do star wars, and lego certainly has a few of their own original themes to branch into as well. Outside that, general mythological beast, or alien designs would probably work well.
>>6348224
Probably an Exo-Force reboot in the vein of Invasion from Below.

Is there an end of evangelion meme pic with bionicles instead?

No idea why the was the last one was upside down, hopefully this one works.
Last one for now
Anyone recall who designed/built the Kanohi Dragon? It wasn't an official TLG design, right?
>>6348604
It was made as a contest entry, and it's probably safe to assume they didn't save the instructions for it.

Generic, boring, nothing to write home about. It also counterdicts canon since it uses Pohatu's mask, when he was the only owner.

Not to mention that wheels don't exist in MU

I'll believe it when you bring us pictures of that, anon.
>>6350577
Visorak Battle Ram, wheels exist.
>>6350596
But Greg said that wheels aren't canon
>>6350598
Oh shit. Are the Lego sets canon?
>>6350526
I'm terrible at painting things so I rather pay someone competent paint my stuff rather than doing a fuckup job by myself.
Besides, one or more paint jobs I need consist of something a bit more complex than the regular stuff, something closer to Modalt's works.
>>6350634
That's not really that complex.
Sand it, prime it, paint it, drybrush the Nuva symbol, then coat it. About as simple as it goes.
>>6350697
Not so bad, though I'm sure I'd be able to fuck up that as well. But what if I wanted to only partially paint a mask, for instance painting the gold part silver of Gali Uniter's mask like in pic related?

>>6350349

The degeneration of west has become so bad people find the quality of MOCs like rahkshigirls acceptable. What happened? We used to bash these all day long as dA-tier cancer.
>>6351363
There are shit rahkshi girls and there are proper rahkshi ladies. These are the latter and thus in my eyes are welcome.
How OP IS the Kanohi Calix, anyway?
>>6351474
Is that the one that gives Animal Man powers?
>>6351474
That is largely dependent on the person wearing it, but compared to other Kanohi, it's pretty stupidly overpowered. That thing would tear ASS if a Le or Onu-Toa got his hands on it.
Why are Rahkshi heads so nice?

Any tips on "filling out" a moc more? I don't want it to be super thin.
>>6352606
find pieces to put on it? really depends on the design
>>6352620
>find peices to put on it?
Ya don't say? Lol. Can post pics in a little, just started it so its very bare bones but i'm not sure where to go with it
>>6352634
yeah post pics, it's really hard to say without seeing the model.
>>6352652
This is what hes shaping up to look like. Plenty of parts to work with, i got about 4 titans and a few others for 20$ yesterday and just parted them out.
>>6352691
might just be me, but I've never been fond of that particular chest piece, I just have never been able to find much to do with it.
Here's the back of the one I made, not so easy to see what's going on, but I think the idea is there. I'll take more pictures if your interested
>>6352706
Nice build. Yea its beginning to seem like this chest peice is kinda limiting. Is this the one you started on?
>>6352712
Yeah, I like the options it gives. I actually went somewhat along with the Hydraxon instructions to get the basics shape down, then just kinda looked for interesting pieces to stick on wherever I could. A major thing I did was for the femur and humerus, not use the regular pieces, but I built my own.
I used those Bohrok head pieces for the structure, and the Rahkshi heads were on a whim, but I think they look amazing the way they smoothly go into the femur armor plate.
Try and flesh yours out a little, if you can find a set that has a nice structure that you want to base off of, that helps a lot. Otherwise, try and imagine things like how many limbs, proportions, and so on
>>6352725
the extra bit for the thigh was because hte hip joint was super loose, so it'd flop around.
>>6352725
>>6352736
>>6352725
Thanks for the tips! This is really my first time having enough peices to moc (my collection of bionicles are all sets i refuse to part out) so im giving it a shot.
Oh jeez don't even mention Hydraxon, he came in the bin I got yesterday, thought I had a complete titan that I hadn't yet owned and was disappointed when I realized I was missing 53989 the parts that are his fingers. Bummed.
This is what I'm working with now since i switched to that torso. Actaully allows some wiggle room plus i was able to add some abdomen armor without much trouble.
The quailty of mocs and posts sure has gone down this thread.
>>6352778
Post your moc
>>6352747
are his finger parts rare or something? I have tons of them, both his dark gray color, as well as the old Lego robot dudes (Exo Force I think?)
>>6352818
Not that they're rare but I just don't have much lego other than bionicle and in terms of bionicle I don't think that part was used much. Never even got into much other lego so I didn't even realize they were "mechanical arms"
For anyone still interested in the Moc aspect of this thread I'm making decent progress.
Decided he was going to have 4 arms. Also ended up having long neck but I like the way it turned out so far as it gives it a more reptile vibe
>>6352853
His neck has the red armor on it. Swivels side to side as well as the ball joint lets his head move. Just testing weapons for his little arms right now.
For chest armor i just tried filling in with peices to help the overall build
>>6352853
Back. Also way the small arms connect allows good swivel and overall motion
>>6352853
Maybe here on the chest i can add some of those teeth eye things on the sides. I do want to beef it up a little
>>6352863
>>6352864
>>6352867
yeah, the chest is pretty plain right now, and I myself am not overly fond of just showing those gray bits. The neck also seems a little lackluster, but that might just me being used to having both ends on a ball joint with a small leg piece between.
>>6352880
Wow your guy from that angle has a good amount of heft, i like it.
Theme is Red, Black and Silver/Grey so any bit that shows won't bothere too much but I'll try filling in more
As for the neck maybe you're right. It might look a little better longer (snake like) we shall see
>>6352917
longer, maybe, but my main thought is just how far out it goes from his body, and only in a straight line.
And yeah, this guy was just designed to be a pretty hefty dude, I may take a bunch more pictures and try and make a lighter version.
>>6352924
Ok I got home and had a little more time to "fix" some things. This is my first Moc (at least actual attempt) and I gotta say, its a lot of "ok gotta take it back apart and do this and again and again..." it is rewarding however seeing it start to come together.
Had to scrap the second set of arms for now at least, I do still want to incoperate that but its hard to work around them without really knowing what will eventually fit where.
I fixed the neck/head so its not so wimpy and bow has even more movement. I think it looks better and with some added bulk should blend nicely. His back certainly gained some heft with the added peice that the head connects to.
Check it out
>>6353095
>>6353099
digging the new neck.
what kind of build are you going for? bulky? lithe? mixed? that will determine what you do with the arms, I think, and if you want it more bulky, I'd do something more with the neck, though I'll admit I don't have any real ideas.
I like the red/black/gray, may steal that for my next one.
>>6353279
I'm think a little more armor bulk but not to much to compromise mobility.
Found a way to possibly get my four arm idea going that I think will add about as much heft as I need. Legs are gonna be a real challenge though with all the top weight.
Will post pics after work tomorrow when I get some more time to work on him.
I was expecting it to cost arm and a leg, but still. This is way too much

I never realized Umarak's chest decal had gold detailings until I read that in a review. Plus the design looks a lot nicer than I remembered. That does make me want that sticker much more. How visible is the gold in person?

It's pretty nice looking. The gold has a metallic shine to it and catches the light pretty well. You probably wouldn't even notice it if you weren't looking closely though.
All rahkshi girls are beautiful.
>>6357292
Thanks. I always kind of dismissed it as "just some generic rocks with some green stuff leaking", lamenting the fact the Hunter's unique bark motif+chest mouth had been thrown away. But it's actually a lot more refined than that and manages to stand as its own. The G2 decals were all great, except maybe Quake Beast's, though it's probably just its assymetry that bugs me.

What are some good websites, besides Amazon and eBay, to find Bionicle Kits and Pieces? I use to own a bunch of Bionicle stuff dating back to the first line, mostly due to my grandparents getting me Bionicles for my Birthday and Christmas all the way until 2013-ish, when two things happened. I turned 25 and it became harder to find Bionicles or that Hero line they had going for awhile.
In 2015, when I was preparing to move to a new state to start my life over (Had been living as a NEET since 2007), my grandmother helped me run a huge yard sale. I had several boxes of stuff I didn't want anymore and I told her where to get the boxes before I left to go grocery shopping. Came back and the storage container I had for my Bionicles was gone. Apparently grandma sold them all, thinking they were with the stuff I wanted to sale.
Now that I have a proper job, I'm looking to rebuild my collection. Only one of my homebrewed Bionicles survived the move, a mix of Vezok and Toa Inika Hali. Did this by cutting off the plastic spine and arm attachments from Vezok's head, it uses one of Toa Metru Nokama's axes. Use to use both but well...the yard sale happened.. I also managed to keep the mask/face of Toa Hordika Nuju.
TL:DR = My grandma sold 99.9% of my Bionicle stuff two years ago. Finally got a decent job, looking to rebuild collection. Need some good sites besides eBay and Amazon.
>>6358555
Bricklink
>>6358555
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/main.page
I've heard good things about this site, never used it myself though. You could also go around to flea markets and hope you get lucky, that's always fun, and you might find other things you want in the process.
>>6358555
Bricklink is all you need. I've gotten some good deals through Craigslist and secondhand/thrift shops, but Bricklink and Ebay are usually my go-to websites for buying Bionicle. Try to avoid Amazon though, they're usually way overpriced.
>>6359024
Bricklink is THE website for Lego buyers and sellers. You can easily make a wanted list to keep track of the things you need, be they sets or parts, and cross search two or more items to find stores that sell them.
>>6354749

>>6362927
*gasp* anon are you always this straight up?
Has anon made any handy things out of bonkle pieces? For example >>6362727 has a cellphone stand in the background.
>>6363413
Clever. So the torso is articulated in the middle, I'm guessing, since there's a "hand" piece there?
I might have to try that, never thought of an articulated torso for whatever reason.
>>6363866
Well seen, it has the possibility of being articulated for sure. However I put so much armour around that she can only bend like 1 or 2 degrees in either direction. It all depends on how much you slap on afterwards.
>>6363877
does it actually have a ball joint in it? can't see for the little arm things
>>6363899
It has a ball joint with axle hole through it which is connect by 4 long liftarms that connect to the 3 mata hands.
The ball joint connects to the mata hand which is connected to the hips.
any more questions?
>>6363910
Ah, okay, I see now. And I finally figured out the neck too, that's certainly an interesting idea. I like it. Gonna give a shot at building a torso like tha tnow for sure.
>>6363733
Glad you like it anon.
Rebuilt the 2003 Makuta because I was feeling nostalgic.
Then I remembered that the 2003 Makuta sucks. What should I do? Mix up an alternate model with his parts or combine him with, say, Maxilos and/or a Rahkshi or two?
>>6364532
Build Makuta Nui. I don't think I've seen anyone ever build it.
>>6364831
Ugh but then I'd have to make sure I have the required parts from Pewku and Gukko and all for a slightly different model that still has two giant feet and no other articulation below the waist.
>>6364532
Improve it. Use Maxilos parts ( same colour scheme minus the bley) to give him waist and knee articulation.
>>6364532
>Then I remembered that the 2003 Makuta sucks
He actually does. If you have Maxilos, I would advise just taking the figure and tweaking it, since Maxilos is pretty clearly designed to resemble 2003 Makuta. Just remove the Cordak blaster and replace the mask+tube with a Kraahkan. By own experience, Onua Mistika's mask works wonders too.
One somehwat good thing 2003 Makuta did was that it estabilished a general idea of how the character should look. Though, in doing so, it hijacked the (admittely too-weird-to-be-sold) 2001/MNOG Makuta. The 2003 set just makes him look like a generic armoured dude instead of the paragon of corruption and outright weirdness the character initially was. By 2003, Makuta was transitioning from a dark god to Greg's pet supervillain. Whether that's a good thing or not, is up to anyone to decide.
>>6365095
Makes me wonder if the movie had any input on what Makuta would look like. It's much easier to do bulky dude as opposed to eldrich horror.
>>6365095
>paragon of corruption and outright weirdness
To be fair, starting from Time Trap, that's literally what he was for most of the time.
>>6361110
Why not shift the arm joint piece directly under the old hand piece and connect it on both sides using a ++ piece?
>>6361110
>>6365172
or use one of these, it would fill out an elbow
>>6365172
>>6365183
Because the ball that the arm is connected to doesn't have + axle through it at all, in fact it has a 3L lightsaber blade running through it and the old hand, so that the clipping mechanism that keeps the shoulders on works.
It's hard to explain but it's more complex than it looks under there.
>>6364831
I did, years and years ago. Actually a very cool looking model, much more creative than Takutanuva. Big, very creepy, quite different than most Bionicle characters
Story-wise, he was pretty cool too, the idea of Makuta turning into a huge dragon-like beast is such a contrast to the regal-looking standard Makuta set.
>>6365200
I think he meant the forearms.
What do y'all think of my barraki boy
>>6365647
>>6351033
Holy shit, that's awesome.
Love the colors.
>>6365647
Looks nice, think you went a tad overboard on the armaments tho
>>6364532
'03 Makuta (and probably a number of other models from roughly the same time period) is really interesting because the designer behind his design has a very different philosophy/experience compared to models even three years later with Axonn and Brutaka.
Makuta feels like a few certain parts roughly stitched together by technic beams and the like, as if he was designed from scrap and polished afterwards. Axonn and Brutaka, however, feel like cohesive, uniform designs built with a vision from the barest bones. Nearly every piece in Axonn or Brutaka feels like it belongs and was designed to be where it is (even though many pieces obviously weren't) compared to Makuta.
Maybe it's the introduction of the Metru/Vahki hip in 2004 as well as the Piraka/Inika torso in 2006 that paved the way. Hell, the philosophy behind those pieces is still used today- the base Hero Factory torso skeleton is basically an unarmored Inika torso, with ball joints at the most important places- neck, shoulders, and hips.
2003 also had a much smaller parts pool to work with compared to later years and today, but even so the designer's mind was different. It's like how you can tell whether a moc was built by a Japanese or a Western builder by how they use and position their pieces.
>>6365647
>>6365650
There's some really cool ideas in there, but it's pretty rough. Definitely try to trim some of the fluff and reduce unused space. I'm sure there's some better way to do the arms, maybe with this piece.
>>6365873
Im sure the arms could be better too. I've redone them a million times and I can't seem to make anything work

First thing I built back in 2003 when I got my hands on all the needed sets.
>>6366347
If I recall based on the drawings of the dragon, it supposed to be a sort of mane I think.
>>6366058
CCBS is practicslly dead outside of SW. Just give it a rest and move on to other hobbies or focus on buying older sets. That's the only advice I can give you.
>>6365647
His body could use more work. Far too barebones atm.
>>6366613
It used to be a little less bare but then I realized that it was using an illegal connection.

why can't people BUILD THE SETS FUCKING CORRECTLY when putting them on display
everytime there is a display with Bionicle sets, none of them is built the way it should be
it's like people who make those displays are incapable of reading instructions

The balls on the torso used to be connected like this, which gave more + sockets to work with. Only realized it was straining the pieces once one of them broke

Here's a bit of a stupid question.
What sort of connection does Witch Doctor's mask have? Normal axle on top?
>>6369254
two pegs like all the armor add-ons

>faber gave all his concept work he did for bionicle to lego voluntarily for this exhibit instead of sharing it on his blog like he originally planned to
why did he do it? he shouldve known that 99% of the work would be shelved away forever and that nobody outside of the company is ever going to see it now.
My entry for the polybag contest, Korpik The Vulture. It won't beat the other great entries, but he was fun to build nonetheless
>>6348323
Enter the fucking contest
>Bonkle died for this
On different note, any of these three worth 10€?
>>6369403
Maybe that's exactly why. Faber isn't end all boss of everything Bionicle. Lego can and will tell him to not share everything. They're perfectly allowed to do so. Stop being entitled little twat
>>6369906
Depends what you need.
>Muh strong brit womyn has lots of tan, some dark brown and dark tan and a neat cloth piece
>Apocalypse has 6M shells and unprinted (he uses stickers) torso shell in orange, which are unique to the set. Solid orange CCBS in general is pretty rare
>Blacklivesmatter has quite a lot of dark tan and unique (I think) lightsaber handles in chrome silver, not to mention reddish brown hands which could be useful for Stone characters
I own only Rey because I found her on sale at 15 Euro (which was pretty good at its time) but I wish I got BBC at a fair price. Oscar isn't as good as the other two since he doesn't have a gearbox, so no new torso and new gearbox cover+neck, just some old CCBS torso bone.
>>6370037
I got like 10 of those guys on sale for $5. Most Rey with some obi-wan and assorted others
I figure, if I save them, I can probably make a nice chunk of change off of them
>>6369403
It's called being professional
>>6370053
5 dollars, that's crazy. Best deal I can find here (Amazon, Italy) is 12 Euro for Finn. I'm tempted to get him at that price.
You could resell them, sure, but I don't know how many people you will find interested. Maybe in a few years when they're discontinued. Not sure how high the demand is for SW sets but I'm having hell reselling a few sealed HF sets.
>>6370088
yeah I noticed the older star wars sets all went way up in price, and Wal-Mart had all their legos 75-90% off (I assume they were clearing stock) sadly there was much left, but I picked up literally everything they had. These guys, a bunch of Nexo Knight stuff, and a few other bits.
Just figured I'd save them awhile and if the price rises a bunch, I'll sell em off and make a nice profit. Otherwise, I've got a shit ton of new legos for insanely cheap. Win-win situation.
I am growing stronger
>>6370721
Are all of those Kaukau homemade? Because god DAMN.
>>6370737
no, the official colors are the all lego, the purple dark green, light pink, and brown were dyed by me. The bright pink and seafoam green were made by the dude who makes resin masks in this thread.

You can imagine my surprise and amusement when I found out that a couple large store chains are selling SW constration sets 1+1 for free. Sure I knew they were selling bad, but for something so historical as a sale to happen they must have sold beyond abyssmal. Serves them right for charging a ten euro franchise tarif per box. The sets in question are the following.
Death Trooper
K-2SO
Jin Erso
Scariff Stormtrooper
Chirrut Imwe
Baze Malbus
Finn
Darth Vader
First Order Stormtrooper
Kylo Ren
Captain Phasma
If you pick two sets with different prices then they charge you the expensive one. I'm thinking about getting Kylo and the First Order Stormtrooper because I find them appealing as is and as parts for mocs. Who do you guys think I should get?
Is it just me, or does Axonn seem black? Like, I don't know what it is about him, he just seems like a black dude.

What? None of those photos looks like pic related. What is that suppose to be that MOC anyways? I can't tell from the angles....
My entry to the polybag contest. There's one panel in the Art Book that shows Ikir transforming into a sword, so because animals that turn into weapons is some of the tightest shit ever, I decided to try my hand at it.
>>6373851
I also built a Tahu to go with him, although he is only partly inspired by his concept art look.
>>6373851
Sword mode
>>6373606
hydraxon is better than axonn because unlike axonn, he is not shit at his job
>>6373677
Did anyone actually bother building this?
>>6373851
>>6373853
>>6373854
That's one of the best MOCs I've seen in a while. I didn't notice that Ikir turning into a sword bit in the artbook but I'd say your design is brilliant. I would make the head a bit more, well, head-like, but do that only if it doesn't hinder the sword transformation.
Tahu is excellent. I love how you combined both his sets and his concept art look into one figure that flows well. Keep the Kopaka chestplate since it matches Uniter Tahu's azure accents. Is his loincloth a sail from a Pirate set?
If I had to change something, I'd replace the HF 2.0 torso shell with a more detailed Breakout shell. My Master Tahu uses it and he looks a heck of a lot better.
>>6373912
>was so shit at his job he got killed and a Po-Matoran had to have his sentience stripped away to make a replacement
Fuck Hydraxon. Dekar didn't deserve to lose himself for the sake of making a new jailor.
>>6374291
Dekar was always my favorite character. I felt so bad for him.
>>6374213
Thanks. I'm planning to get a Breakout Furno torso in my next BL order.
>I would make the head a bit more, well, head-like, but do that only if it doesn't hinder the sword transformation.
Also something I plan to do. I'll need to remove one of the blue circles on a wing, but I think it's a worthy sacrifice.
> Is his loincloth a sail from a Pirate set?
It's actually a "flag" from the Battle on Takadona set.
>>6374527
>Thanks. I'm planning to get a Breakout Furno torso in my next BL order.

Good, I'm sure that will improve them a lot. Keep up the good work.
>It's actually a "flag" from the Battle on Takadona set.
Neat, I like that can attach via two studs. Good on you for thinking outside the box and using it.
>>6373912
I liked Hydraxonn because he could take on much stronger foes thanks to his skill with blades. I didn't like how dumb he acted and that Denkar was sacrificed.
The Ignika was a right cunt. It fucked people utterly and randomly. It almost makes me think that it was an allegory for real life and that Greg was telling us that life will fuck your shit up.
>>6373700
The big titan set with a calus in the brain and bad attitude who initially hinders the heroes for no reason only to help them later.
>>6374857
