So how much longer until Ekimu sacrifices the Toa and protectors to demons during an eclipse so that he can achieve the power of god?
>>
How much are older used bionicles? I have a huge pile of complete kits and have no real need. No idea on pricing or if they are sellable. Stuff from web of shadows back basically.
>>
So I just got Ekimu and Quake Beast from the Lego Store.

why were these sets shat on again? QB just needs a few pieces moved, and Ekimu needs slightly longer arms, but...they're pretty much perfect sets.
>>
>>5713754
Depends on the set, you will get more for stuff like Bohrok or classic Toa than you will from the Hordika or Visorak for example. In general, the cooler a set looks + the more nostalgia people have for the set, the more its worth.

God damn Umarak the Destroyer is awesome in the app. His stylized design is great and he shoots a fucking Godzilla laser from his mouth.

Shame the Beasts and super Ekimu aren't incorporated into the game AT ALL.
>>
>>5713779
What all is new? Are there new maps? Any new story? We need SCREENSHOTS, anon!
>>
>>5713779
I'm guessing it's probably a beta of the summer patch if there aren't any beasts or any of the other three Toa. There's no way the full update won't have the beasts, they're even color coded to match the difficulty of the skull enemies for god's sake.
>>
>>5713781
>>5713785
The other three Toa are in the game now, though. There's 15 new levels, Gali, Onua, and Kopaka, and Umarak the Destroyer as a boss. That's it. There isn't really any new scenery like the apocalyptic hellscape or the volcano either. The majority of the levels still only take place within the Maze.

I haven't played all 15 yet, but so far I've seen a comic where the Toa fight Umarak briefly and then he escapes. I've seen another through where LAST YEARS Ekimu walks up to a defeated Destroyer and pulls off his mask, but I doubt that's canon. It's probably just a ploy for the game so they don't entirely spoil the end of JtO.

Eh, that just seems to be the pattern as far as sets go. People thought the skull villains would be shit, but they're pretty good. People thought the toa would be shit, but they're pretty good.

A previous anon made a how to for a suped up Ekimu (his design on the left aside from the gun arm - that was me being autistic) that I had as my main Ekimu for a bit and now I'm posting this pic because I'm gonna have to take Old Ekimu apart since there's a better one out like it's that good of a set. The transparent blue really grew on me - it makes him look like he's made out of pure godlike energy or some shit.

He has sparkly god-armor. He doesn't really need much in the height department.

Then again, I'd like to see Ekimu in a Toa Mata Nui size set.

He looks just a little shorter than the Toa, not half the height.

But the perspective is a little wonky there

I dunno what it is about CCBS figures (and also mocs) but most of them aren't photogenic and look WAY better in person.
>>
Have a subline of Bionicle that features mainly mixels joints, with maybe a new joint piece for hips.

Then the sets can be cheaper because they're smaller, masks can be minifig scale helmets, detail will be way higher because of various plates/details, they'll be able to wield minifig weapons and combine much easier, functions are still entirely possible (Klinkers Max has a fucking gearbox), and more diverse body styles would be even easier to create, so Ouna can be the bulky hunchback he's supposed to be and Pohatu and Gali can have their thicc hips.
>>
Were the G1 playsets not well liked? I remember seeing them ages ago on the shelf and feeling they weren't good deals, but the psuedo-Giger look was always appealing.

I picked up the Toa Terrain Crawler last year for a decent price and thought it was pretty neat.

Went to the Lego store today after work to see if there were any sightings of the summer wave, no such luck but I did find last summers skull baddies on sale after that location not even having any in stock for weeks, I picked up the Mask Maker vs Skull Grinder set, Skull Warrior and Skull Scorpio sets for 20% off, which was nice.

Personally, I greatly dislike them since they clearly show why you shouldn't mix System with G1 parts.
The style of both clashes horribly and some of the sets look like overly simple System sets that someone randomly slapped some Bionicle weapons and masks on them.

They damn well better have bought this shit with their own hard earned money. If a parent had a hand in purchasing them even half of that collection, they should be locked in a box for spoiling their child. That is, assuming the collector isn't like a 40 years old manchild or some shit.

Unfortunately true. I've got almost the entire G1 line with nowhere to put them, so they're disassembled and bagged/canned up in five storage totes. They're just too large to have out all at once, and even if you have the space they'll aesthetically look like the contents of a Lego bin. There's so much part and color reuse going on between most of them that they have to be spaced out or else they visually run together.

So it's something of a long shot, but here's a thought:

If G2 has always been planned to end next year, is it possible that the gimped Summer Waves and lack of larger sets is to conserve budget for an impressive send-off in 2017?

Lego likes to plan things in advanced, so if the Bionicle was going to get canceled, they would've made the decision at the begging.

I feel conflicted. On one hand, I want to tell you to make it more anthropomorphic with actual thighs and bird ankles where the backwards "knees" are. but, on the other hand, the build is telling me it's following a bird's actual anatomy, even if the pelvis isn't buried within flesh/armor.

Nope, drilldozer is the only set that uses this piece, and the mold was never seen again.

Alright /biog/, when I was younger I had a ton of Bionicles, including some rare ones like Kardas and Takutanuva. Problem is they're in my mom's ex partners loft. I could contact him to get them, but I dunno if it's worth the potential shit storm. Are ~40 Bionicles worth it lads? Inb4 nice blog

Yeah I'm not confident that it would actually work the way anyone would want it to. Considering how the resin mask pegs have nowhere near the friction of lego's ABS parts I'm not sure that I even want to go anywhere near ball socket stuff.

Even if it was an option it'd probably have to be injection molded due to it's shape and size and I dont' have the resources to do that.

Either way, they were too busy hanging out on their shit forum.

That it fucking does. I can't even complain about the colors. I also like how Umarak the Destroyer looks like a Blacktron beast with that black and trans-yellow.

I guess I could channel the Satan-Umarak effort into some more demonic mocs - I've been wanting to incorporate Onua's big chest piece into a Mancubus type moc but they're always too short. Plus Robo-Tupac has most of my black pieces right now.

Small Ekimu could fight at once with a bunch of soldiers that gave the Toa a hard time and took them a team effort to beat. And even if you choose to take that promo video of him as non canon, once he got his Mask back he easily one shot a guy who in turn had previously one shot all six Toa.

Small Ekimu is easily at least as strong as 3-4 Toa put together. Larger Ekimu might be even stronger.
>>
>>5716839
We've had a chance to go back to Glatorian launchers (which were ridiculously overused in HF) or Zamor (the mold still existed few years back), but I can see why Lego keeps pushing the six-shooter.

It's relatively small and simple piece, it shoots stuff that everyone has million off, and it can be integrated into almost every single other theme as well.

And I'd rather shove nails down my dickhole than go back to squid launchers, cordaks, tridax pods or nynrah blasters.

You gotta space them out, give them room to breathe. Once your collection gets large enough though you've got to realise that you can't have all of your bionicles on display at once without it looking like a complete mess.
>>
>>5716930

also a general question - how is BZP's coverage of the lego fan days going or whatever? They learn anything of interest yet?

God, I remember TTV wasn't actually that bad when G2 was just coming to the surface. They were the go-to YouTube channel to get the latest news on leaks and promo images, and whenever they did TTVTalks, It'd be purely G2 discussion and speculation.

Not they've gone all "official" due to their spike in popularity and they don't even do leaks anymore. And like>>5716431
said, all they fucking do is talk about shit that's not even related to Lego, just so they have some kind of traffic on their channel.

I got so hype checking for a new video and seeing that breaking news thumbnail. I haven't watched one of their videos in months now. There's no channels left to talk about Bionicle as a story and line as opposed to simply set reviews. Shit sucks, man.

Yeah, basically this. Its ironic because didnt they leave Bzp because they were sick of their eliteist hugbox bullshit?

That and the fact that their userbase is a bunch of shit flinging, closeted, entitled 12 year olds who did nothing but spread false leaks. Expect them to come crawling back to our generals when more leaks surface, since this is the only site left that'll host them.

Viper is being fired? Well there went my only reason to watch them on Vessel.

In all honesty though, TTV is pretty shit. Before they moved to Vessel, they moaned how we all should watch the ads in front of their videos to help them out for all their "hard work" and now they moan at us constantly that we should subscribe to them on Vessel. Sorry but I ain't paying 2,99 a month.

They even have a fucking animated Vessel ad in front of almost all their videos and it's cringey as fuck and the first 20 minutes of their podcast is always them sucking Vessel's dick pretty much.

Not to mention the horrible release schedules. The winte 2016 just released and their booktalk videos for a book that released beginning this year have only now started to appear. In their podcasts they sometimes ask each other why someone hasn't uploaded a specific video yet and their response is usually along the lines of: "I haven't finished it." or "Didn't feel like it."

How do they expect anyone to give them money every month with that atitude?

Since I've been on a Doom kick lately here's a Revenant and a WIP Spider Mastermind (brain slug is just a placeholder till I can build something better). I tried making the Revenant accurate color wise to the game model, but he currently has the last of my six shooters, meaning the Mastermind goes unarmed for no.

Anon who's been building an Iruini. I need advice. I'm changing all of the shells to Dark green, but the torso, nor Chestplate have that color.

so...I need to get one recasted by the recast anon. should I go Gold torso, Metru Green Chestplate, or the opposite?

also, wings. Yes? no? more? less?

Imagine if Lego Movie 2 starts on a brick-built Mata Nui/Okoto and it gives off this dark and mystical fantasy vibe. The Toa show up to face Makuta at some sort of tribal shrine and right as the tension rises and the forces of light and darkness are about to clash!... Emmet clumsily bursts in with some kind of wacky out of place accident. Like a stampede of bison escape from Old West through into this world and rush by, while he frantically chases after them. The initial tension is completely broken and the Bionicle characters are just left standing there awkwardly before the story moves on to focus on Emmet's hi-jinks.

I think that would be a neat way to give Bionicle a little more limelight in the sequel without it impacting the story too much. But maybe constraction being featured that much in a big budget Lego Movie is just a pipe dream, though.

>>5719516
The black Ruru wasn't a misprint though- it was made first for Tohunga Hafu and then his rebuilt form as well.
>>
>>5719842
The ones in the Hafu sets were intentional. The mask pack Black Rurus were misprints, even though they are identical to the Hafu versions.
>>
>>5719833
Most likely either medium blue or brown with silver forehead.

You know, the ones actually included in the sets.
>>
>>5719852
I was wondering which one of the two it was. I've got more of the 2004 version. Do they normally have a pinkish colour where the colours blend? It looks odd.
>>
>>5719855
As of now, there's 79 medium blue ones and 55+4 ones from Ahkmou.

It really grinds my gears that sellers can't organize masks for shit. The four just means masks that are listed in full brown, not the one catalog entry that's specifically for Ahkmou's.

>sellers can't organize masks for shit
This is my personal hell.

Especially the original golden and silver Kanohi are the worst. It's also partially a blessing. Thanks to mislabeled colors, I've gotten 5 of the golden Kanohi for less than 2€ a pop.
>>
>>5719410
Which is why I said it could possibly be MATA NUI. It's why the brief shot referencing Bionicle in the first one was from 2001; not from the later years and not from Hero Factory: Because the original Bionicle, and especially its early success, is still an important part of Lego's heritage whether it's the current IP or not. Even though it's technically inherantly a you commercial, I've always considered The Lego movie to be more of a celebration of the brand, and tons of retired minifigures showed up whether they were in the forefront or just in the background. It doesn't matter if Bionicle is replaced by the time LM2 comes out, because the theme can still be featured regardless.

I've been trying to find this part, but for the life of me, I can't find it or the set it comes in. when I tried the former, Bricklink only sold it FAR away from the US...and in a smaller quantity than I wanted.

okay? what set does it come in?
a Chima set that Amazon and Ebay are selling for WAY too much...heck. the images I've seen, it doesn't exactly look like the Dark green I'm looking for, rather a Bright green.

anyone know other places to look?

Try Chi Cragger, and I think the green monster from the HF Brain Attack line had it too.

No that's just a comic of a pope I had. There've been worse Popes, like the Assassin's Creed II one. But he's pandering to lefties to get them to come to church, when they are blatantly the types that just hate the church no matter what. And the Pope's apparently the "voice of god", so it seems a little convenient god would be pandering to lefties when lefties are so loud at the moment. He's basically a cuck. I'm not a catholic anyway, so whatever.

Maybe you shouldn't look on eBay then. Any flea markets in the area? Try your luck there. Any shopping apps used in your country? That might work better. I use such shopping apps and usually you get things cheaper there.
