/biog/ - Bionicle and CCBS General: Always a Bigger Fish Edition

I dislike that the design carries absolutely nothing from his protector form.

A new building contest all about our favorite mask hoarder.

Build the "evilest" Makuta ever, and stand a chance at winning the entire BIONICLE reboot range, from the first wave of 2015 to the second wave of 2016. The grand winner also gets a limited edition BIONICLE art book.

But ALSO, another art book will be given away to a random participant, so even if you think your building skills are shit, you still have a chance at getting stuff.

Full contest details will be up on Rebrick.com. Keep refreshing!

Remember the days before the ball-and-socket system?

>>5810094
Good tim...
nope.

In your opinion what are the odds for

-at least one of those titan Makuta forms to be an actual set
-the black Tahu mask to be officially released
-the Makuta Mask Maker form to be released

>>5810097
>at least one of those titan Makuta forms to be an actual set
I'm not sure. You figure they would have told you if any of them were gonna be sets, but then again you wouldn't want that official word to limit the way you think about your contest entry.

>the black Tahu mask to be officially released
Very high. It might be in a 2-in-1 set like SG vs MM or the Kopaka Unity Set. It might also be a polybag, with the new black Mask of Fire as the incentive.

>the Makuta Mask Maker form to be released
Zilch. They didn't even give new parts to the model that was in the contest video.

>>5810094
>Remember the days before the ball-and-socket system?
>he says, posting sets that came out after Slizers and Roboriders in the same year as Bionicle, with C-3PO and the Stormtrooper having ball and sockets in the shoulders, Pit Droid having ball and socket shoulders and elbows, and Jango Fett having ball and socket wrists

>>5810156
>what are the odds

>>5810097
>at least one of those titan Makuta forms to be an actual set
The middle one already has gimmicks built in, so we could get that. I hope we do, at least. I will flip my shit if we get the purple one with the Hulk chest.

>>5810168
Shit, forgot the rest.
>the black Tahu mask to be officially released.
Only in Russia.
>the Makuta Mask Maker form to be released
Probably in the winter wave paired with a small version of whatever the villains are going to be this time around.

>>5810157
when was anything said about a black tahu mask though

>>5810130
>>5810093
why bother, some chump like roa with all the special parts is just going to toss together a pay-to-win clusterfuck

>>5810130
I wonder if that artbook will also see a normal release.

>>5810182
There's a figure with a black Tahu mask in the video.

>>5810188
Not in the UK. I still haven't seen any of the books in shops here.

>>5810117
But that was before it became the norm and when most Lego action figures had technic functions like gears and rubber bands in place of articulation. I should say "when ball-and-socket was in its infancy".

UK eBay has a complete Muaka and Kane-Ra for sale at about £4 if anyone hasn't got them yet.

>>5810188
The artbook prizes are just the book signed, so probably.

>>5810153

Fun fact. That Stormtrooper was only non-Bonkle set ever that used Mata-torso.

The purple and gold Makuta has got to be the official one. The outright state the other designs were made by them and an intern and I you look, they are all comprised of pre-existing pieces sans the Emperor's cloth pieces. But we're obviously not getting that one because the bone chair and he's just wearing the MoCo.

The purple hulk-chest one has the most official looking construction. He has new stickers on his staff and thighs while neither of the red ones do. He possesses what look to be new skirt armor in warm gold on his hips. And again, the new purple cloth pieces. Maybe it won't be as big but it's obvious that the real set will take from the purple and gold one's design heavily. Saying it'll be either of the red ones is retarded. Also, his Mask Maker form is clearly just a fanbuild, he even has studs instead of the actual sixshooter ffs.

instructions on them heels please, senpai

(Reposting from the old thread)

You know, comparing Overlord Makuta to the Tohunga, he doesn't look that tall after all. Sure, he's a big guy, but try imagining there's a Toa next to him. He's definitely taller than Umarak the Destroyer, but I don't think he's as tall as Grievous. Which is only a good thing, as it increases the chances of him being able to be sold as an official set.

>>5810285
It's not only about the height. The most important factor is the mass + this guy has vings.

>>5810303
Get rid of the wings and change the chest of the middle one and I might like it. Otherwise, I would rather have the left version since the JtO Makuta is based on it and it has better weapons.

>>5810303
I like the "brawler" model that one guy was talking about. I'd kill to see Makuta and Ekimu go full fisticuffs against one another.

>>5810303
Overall, I like "Overlord" Makuta the most, fallowed by the middle transition on the left. He's the most unique color scheme and weapon out of the three, plus a bit better build.

>>5810303
wait, are we going to have 2 cloth pieces next year?
Because the shape of the cloth on the weapon doesn't look the same as the one on his crotch.

>>5810345
>>5810244
Don't forget the stickers and the hip skirt. I also think the two large gold bent horn pieces on the top of his staff are new but I can't say.

I dunno. This all feels as if: "we got cancelled, but want something to show for our work on Makuta's design if we can't release it."

I sure as hell hope I'm wrong.

Shit, son! It says "Captial" behind Makuta. I think when Ekimu knocked the MoUP off of Makuta, it transported the entire city into like... a pocket dimension; the Shadow Realm.

I really really wanna know who built that Tohunga. (I'm guessing it's the BZP guy who got a job in the City theme; Corvin)

>>5810353
Lego sets are in development around a year and a half before release, usually more when it's an in-house theme. If Makuta of Ultimate Power was to be released in 2017, they wouldn't hold a contest half a year before release because they got cancelled.

>>5810417

>the shadow horde is all made out of the villagers that couldn't manage to escape the Great Cataclysm

What this line has been lacking is simplicity and good proportions.

oh yeah I've seen that faggot, embarrassing.
By the way his MOCs are shit.

Can we all agree that the three Makuta sets we've been shown are a clear demonstration the line DID NOT do well? Literally no new pieces bar the clothing and the mask. No weapons, no armors, nothing.

What a shame.

>>5810864
They're not sets though, you fucking clod.

>>5810864
The jto wasn't finished recently according to Volta. It's been done for about two months now.
And they couldn't be able to even produce the model in the show before these existed. If they decided to cancel Bionicle' next year the decision would had come somewhere around May if not earlier so they wouldn't even had any molds to show really.

>>5810864
Did your mom choke you with her dick or something when you were born?

>Instead of regular horde villains we get 5 different forms of Makuta

>>5810864
That's literally like saying "your MOC doesn't have any new molds in it, so it's shit!"

I hope people will go all out with ultimate (lifeform) power Makuta

>>5810188
I kinda doubt it. Don't think an art book for a theme as niche as Bionicle would have much of an audience. But then again they said "limited edition" in the video and not "exclusive to the contest", so who knows?

>>5811081
Here's hoping there's a digital release at least.

>>5810774
this fucking guy. his custom masks are utter shit but people still bought them like crazy.

>>5810567
They're actually Pegasus wings from the Elves line.

>>5811136
If any of us end up getting an art book, you'd better fucking scan it and put it in a Dropbox somewhere to share with us all.

>>5810303
>shows off giant makuta figures
>we're never going to get a set of any of these
Fuck. I hope they at least release instructions at some point.

>>5810303
I just noticed that Kopaka, Tahu, Lewa, Pohatu, and Onua's mask are all on the staff of the center one... but Gali's is missing. Gali 1v1s Makuta CONFIRMED.

>>5810303
The one on the left (the JTO model) looks like it could be a combiner between a bunch of different things.

I think it exclusively takes bits and pieces from LoSS, Uniter Tahu, Creature of Fire (plus the trap), Uniter Onua, Mask Maker vs. Skull Grinder, Umarak the Hunter, and Umarak the Destroyer.

Someone should test this theory, disassemble those sets, and see if they can make this.

>>5811190

anyone from australia managed to find the new sets yet? i don't want to leave my house to check

>>5810591
>be in store of some kind, seems like a gift shop for some place

apparently I dream of bootlegs and real sets in the same place, a highly ornate store made to look like a carpeted cave and everyone is speaking german or something

>>5812700
just call some stores

So is anyone gonna actually enter the contest here? I might take apart all my G2 sets and make something from that, but I really don't want to rebuild 'em.

>>5812715
I'm considering it but you know they're just going to give it to the biggest model.

>>5812715
Is the contest even on rebrick yet?

I was gonna build something in advance but I don't know if they're accepting applicants with G1 parts.

I figure they would, but it would be a bit unfair to all the people who got into it after G1.

Also, color schemes? I don't want to make a generic edgy makuta. Maybe purple, black, and green?

someone should submit the original makuta set to the contest

Good lord TTV is so retarded. Half the posts in the thread are about how people who don't have the disposable income (read: mommy's money) to build gigantic meme MOCs just "aren't devoted enough" and don't deserve to win the contest. It must be nice being able to spend that kind of money at a whim.

Holy shit this is disgusting. Remember when kids were the primary contenders in Lego competitions? Now they've all grown into fiscally irresponsible AFOL's that spend all their excess income on more and more sets to bulk up their collection and it's those fuckers that ALWAYS win these fucking contests. If Lego doesn't have a parts limit they sure as fuck need an age limit for their contests. I'm not entering but I'm fucking appalled by all these manchildren who think they're more deserving of winning this thing even though they're clearly not even the fucking target demographic. Like, you're telling me "Fuck Timmy, he's only 11 but if he really wanted to win he'd max out his mother's credit card to get more parts" is a totally justifiable argument? The playing field NEEDS to be leveled so these fuckers are weeded out. Anyone can stack parts on top of one another over and over and blur out the gaps and shit to make a moc vaguely in the shape of something. Moccists with talent can fill in those gaps and use parts uniquely to make a sleek, sexy design that actually looks complete and clean. Roa's a fucking hack and her Bayformer Makuta was a disgrace. Fuck elitist AFOL's who think they're more deserving of this competition than the kids the line is geared toward, and fuck Eljay especially.

This, this, this. Can these people not understand that this new Bionicle is made for kids, and not the hardcore fans who never grew out of it?

I thought Bionicle returning would be awesome, but it seems all its done is piss off the old fanbase and bring out the worst in people. Personally I wouldn't mind if it ended next year, so long as they give it a proper ending this time around.

>>5814174
actually, youre right. looking at it again the moup graphic in the banner definitely seems to be new.

>>5814254
while i agree with what you said you should also consider the fact that the rebrick contests are mostly aimed at tfols and young afols rather than children.

>>5810303
>one in the middle has a printed piece with the elements on it

I'm guessing that rather than be the top of his staff it will be a shield for a Destroyer-size Makuta in 2017

>>5814406
I'm guessing the same, and that he'll also come with those purple cloth pieces as well.

>>5814348
Still, their mentality is fucking ridiculous and I'd rather Lego held this contest on their own site and only kids could enter. What AFOL needs all the sets? They've all clearly gotten them all by now.

>>5814493
Should've had two divisions. A kids contest where you can win all the sets, and an AFOL contest where you can win the artbook.

>>5814520
That would actually make a lot of sense, but knowing people they'd bitch about it.

>>5814493
i dont really think lego is at fault here, its just that the bionicle community for the most part is an elitist circlejerk full of retards

>>5814560
Which is why I'm glad this ride is only 3 years long. It was fun to have a nostalgic high from G2 but everything else like the fan base and shit are aspects I'm glad to see fade back into obscurity. I miss the days when I was just a dumb kid excited about Bionicle and I was completely oblivious to all the cunts that comprised the fandom. Ignorance was truly bliss back then.

>>5814572
Yea...Good old days when it was fresh and every corner had a new adventure

>>5814254
This. What killed BIONICLE was the community, those who managed it, not the fans.

>>5813999
>novità

oh cristo santo dove come quando perché

>>5814572
Yeah, fandom was always terrible and we knew this, G2 has basically just shown us that it wasn't just BZP that was cancer.

At least we got some baller sets.

>>5814620
Agreed. And when it comes to elements like the Legendary Masks, I think Lego did a stellar job with their designs. They look like they'd totally fit with the old line. MoUP especially. I can't wait to get my hands on it next year.

Also, props for posting a reply on YouTube instead of just ignoring me or anonymously posting on here yourself.

Swedish guy? I'm just some Burgerland 20 yr old who wishes Lego would stop letting it's child fans grow up to think they are the only ones that deserve everything. I'm just annoyed that Eljay keeps arguing the line of reasoning that more money=more dedication as if everyone in existence gets the same amount of disposable income and only the true fans spend that money on Leo. It doesn't hit him that some people just don't make enough. Or that some people are still kids and don't have jobs. Or that some AFOL's aren't in their teens and twenties and they just may have families and shit so they can't spend half their check on Lego every week. And I bet you if he didn't make good money and his collection was piss poor he wouldn't be making this argument. He's basically just defending his gluttony and the only others who side with his argument are also guilty of blowing wads on Lego or they're just fans of TTV itself and they'll agree to anything their idols say.

>>5814914
And they'd the problem. You know Eljay made a YouTube video so he could police the comments section to erase any arguments that blast holes into his opinions. He may as well post a rant onto his Tumblr.

Cute!

Ok I get what both sides are saying but....

If Lego wants to run their contests in a certain way, then they can

I'm sure that Lego is aware that adults enter their contests, they aren't stupid. If Lego had a problem with it then they would make some sort of rule to stop them or at least mention it. As such I don't see why we are discussing this. Lego's gonna do what they want.

I guess some people are trying to say its morally wrong for adults to enter into a contest that is open for everyone? Or that there should be contest just for kids? If you want that tell Lego.

>>5814951
Eljay being the most vocal and acting the most faggot out of the staff doesn't mean all of the rest are.

TTV boards are going to die next year anyways.
BZP with it's userbase couldn't make it trough the change, even less likely a smaller board like TTV is going to do it. If the next theme isn't generic robotmans electric boogaloo 7.0 it's fanbase will be on Eurobricks.

>>5814962
Used to be. Sorry. Eating pizza.

>>5814961
This really isn't so much about Lego's decisions, or the morality behind them choosing a larger MOC to win.

It's about Eljay being a colossal fucking faggot.

[spoiler]Also, fuck off Eljay.[/spoiler]

I'm not Eljay or any of them. I'm not trying to support him. I just don't get why everyone is mad about about the way the contests are being run. But it is true that they should have a younger devision for kids.

>>5814977
Again. That's not really the issue here. Maybe like one or two of us even care about that.

Hypothetically, if I was a higher-up at a business like LEGO, I'd be more inclined to reward the fans that spend tons of money so I can make a profit, rather than some youngkids who might get their feelings hurt if they don't win.

>>5814977
I'm just sick of entitled faggots. Period.

Oh you guys aren't fighting about the contest stuff? I'm sorry then I thought that that was what you guys were fighting about. Carry on then.

>>5814961
You are missing the point entirely. The beef is with Eljay's attitude on the matter. It's not a big secret that with no restrictions on size and an unlimited amount of pieces, you can create whatever vague shape you want. It takes no skill, only a massive investment of time and money, which only rabid fans like Roa are willing to commit. Adding to this, entries like those often overshadow smaller MoCs that don't use half of the existing parts library and have a more centralized focus than "add as many parts until it looks like something"

I am truly sorry if I upset you guys. My apologies.

LJ poked the rabid dog that is this site.

>>5814921
THANK YOU

>>5814989
And this is why I have more faith on people like Djokson (his moc there) to take the prize. Roa can't create smooth organic shapes like masks as good as this guy.

Fun fact, this thread is blocked on the Disney World wifi.

I liked LJ better when he was a French chef

>>5814989
This was the core of my issue on the matter. It's not how Lego does their contests, just that some people in this fandom are selfish fucks and think money is equated to dedication, and more dedication equates to more entitlement. So basically a bunch of Lego shills who think they're the bestest fans ever keep mucking up the fan base and I personally hate it.

Large MOCs are fine. It's just that larger and more pieces does not always equal better builds.

Hey Ausfags (and Kiwis), if any of you were optimistic about getting the sets, might want to consider their not in our catalog for June-December. Skull Fuckers were in the catalog last year, so we might not be getting this wave. Skull fuckers were also not out until August though so maybe hold off on doom and gloom for a couple of days.

And to international fags, this wouldn't reflect on your home markets because constraction has had a week presence here since the start of Hero Factory. Bionicle's done a lot better than that did in its last couple of years. If it's doing well where you are, it's fine, don't worry about it.

>>5815230
Mixels aren't in the German catalog and not available anymore outside of Lego stores afaik, even though they often sold out instantly.

No idea what's going on at Lego anymore.

So, taking a bit of a breath from all this contest stuff...

Wouldn't it be cool as shit if we got an alt-color MOCo with the supposed Makuta set next year? Like a trans-purple mask or something.

>>5815271
I'm hoping we get a mask similar to Umarak's blend with black and trans-purp or maybe black and trans "brown" for Winter and solid gold one for summer. I'm absolutely certain we'll get two, since we've had two Mask of Creation and two Masks of Control.

So, do you guys think we should have monthly challenges like they do on /lg/? Might help with getting people to post MOCs on here.

>>5815341
Yeah sure

>>5814762
Is anyone really surprised? This is the same guy that just had to dedicate a whole video on why red and blue pins are OBJECTIVELY bad - end of discussion, period. The autism never ends.

>>5815147
This is still pretty neat. The tail is really cool, and the head is okay. It's really the legs that the MOC starts to look terrible.

It's like how the Bayformers Transformers can look too busy, and it becomes a walk pile of shards instead of a cohesive build.

>>5815188
It can vary based on personal taste. But adding too much can certainly distract from the character.

Not be a shill, but Play Strippling's 30 minute MOC videos are pretty good in 'getting' how to make a good MOC, IMO.

>>5815341
If we do I kinda want to do "tiny moc "for the first challenge, just to spite giant moc makers.

Must be able to fit in a 5inx5inx5in box to be able to count.

>>5815230
Me and another person I know (we met on bzp ironically) worked this out already and got them shipped

>>5815364
To be honest when I make a moc I have an idea of its character + the real life.

EG heaps of pieces would suit a strong dumb character however a smarter character would suit a more sleek design.

However theres an upper limit when it comes to looking realistic.

>>5815436
>heaps of pieces would suit a strong dumb character however a smarter character would suit a more sleek design.

This kind of thing is exactly why the bionicle community is the laughingstock of the lego community.

Listen to how he talks, the tone of his voice. Managing to be self righteous about a single imageboard post involving fucking CHILDREN'S TOYS.

>>5815386
What about a part limit challenge? I feel that Lego should have part limits in their competitions to prevent clusterfucks constantly winning.

>>5815819
You heard Eljay "If you put restrictions you won't last long" I'd love to prove him wrong.

>>5815819
It's possible that TLG doesn't enforce part limits in official competitions because it would be very hard for kids to keep track of the numbers.

Maybe an actual size restriction would be better. Make sure your figure is no taller than X inches. Provide an image of the MOC next to a ruler to verify.

>>5815626
>>5815147
The difference with the blue MOC is that I can see the basic details of the creature. Most fuckhuge MOCs like the red one just look like a mess of colours. I shouldn't have to consciously work out where the legs or head are.

>>5815819
It'd probably be best if they had more refined criteria for the judges, and included 'economy' as one of them.

To give an example of how that could work, a big parts monster could gain major points in the visual appeal category for looking impressive, but then suffer a significant drop in the economy category for not making efficient use of parts and straying too far from what an 'official' build might look like.

Sort of like how in academic work you'd get marks for having a good argument, but then lose marks for being too wordy and pointlessly overshooting your limits.

I think the mask contest was a good example of a well done contest. Sure the winner would still be someone who has a lot of parts, but the disparity wasn't nearly as big as the winner of the Villain contest's entry. The people who won the Mask contest were the people who used those parts to make coherent designs, designs with a recognizable look / silhouette that you could likely draw from memory if need be.

has there ever been categories like that in any of these kinds of contests? I always hate how it almost always turns into a popularity thing when it's voting based.

Capital.

>>5816219
Capital. The Capital City was transported to the shadow realm with all the islanders that were present when Makuta revealed the MoUP. All thanks to that shockwave that happened when Ekimu whacked his brother.

>>5816230
Is this official? What does the shockwave have to do with the transportation of the Capital City?

>>5816235
It's not yet totally official but considering Makuta is giving a speech to a bunch of shadow villagers, and all that was left after the shockwave was a gigantic crater where the capital used to be, I think it's safe to assume that is was transported to a pocket dimension.

Again, it's been established that the city that the great crater used to be was the island's capital. And now Makooti is looming over a balcony with the word "Capital" carved into the building. Just putting the pieces together.

>>5816261
>>5816235
And I should note, the shockBLAST is more of what I'm referring to. The explosion that took place upon Makuta getting hit that formed the crater. Not the tremors that followed resulting in the island's terrain getting fucked.

I'll definitely add it in the next thread if no one else makes a new thread by the time this one hits the middle of page 9.

If you want to actually portray your point then the best course of action is not to be rude about it while complaining on a thread on another website.

People have already mentioned to Eljay that they disagree with him and they've done it a lot more sensibly than calling everyone autistic or insulting people. It just makes you seem immature when you do this.

Also, why is everyone so concerned over the opinions of a single person enough to derail a hype thread about Bionicle? We have JTO incoming in four days time and instead everyone here is whining about Eljay ¬.¬

You could always bring up a more suitable topic for discussion instead of just complaining about other people complaining.
Says the guy who is currently complaining about someone complaining about other people complaining.

>>5816527
>>5816528
It takes a fourth level of complaining before people start to wonder why people complaining exists.

Personally, I'm entertained by all this and it makes me want to see Lego can this theme in 2017 even more.

>>5816527
I'm not supporting either side of this nonsense. Its quite clear that people are bringing it up here because they are afraid of reprisal if they were to bring it up on the main sites. They can do it if they choose, just we could be chatting about more interesting stuff (E.g. the stuff we're here for... Bionicle)

>>5816482
He'll just walk around your words and go off on tangents about the non-issues and in refuting those and ignoring the main argument, he'll say he'll win.

Similar to how he went on about "why doesn't Timmy just stack parts over and over", ignoring that the point of that statement was the stacking over and over only occurs with people who have said gigantic collections that a child would not have. Or how he basically states "no kid will be skilled enough to make a nice sleek compact Moc because they're too unskilled" basically just making generalizations to back up his shitty position. The whole point isn't simply about kids. It's that good Mocs like >>5814989 that are actually being smart with their parts are almost always beaten by Mocs like >>5815147 because of the fact that the size itself is apparently impressive to the judges of these competitions and it's clearly a flaw since anybody could do the bigger Moc with enough money, but only the truly talented individuals would be able to produce a Moc like the former. And having the most money shouldn't be what gets you to the finals. Also, I love how he again dances over the fact that the competition is too easily exploited by people with money, and goes to say shit like "oh because ur da pinnacle of Moc criticism", basically just trying to devalue Anon's stance because he's not a licensed judge. Ya know. Instead of actually showing us the true benefits to this busted system aside from favoring rich AFOLs. Seriously, it'd be more engaging and fun if there were some border to let everyone have some semblance of a chance. But of course, he's probably one of those who wishes to/or does make big Mocs and he genuinely thinks they're the best a Moccist can produce; because he sure as shit can't make anything small and decent looking. He probably has a hate-boner for people who make Mocs like what DeeVee makes. (Not that DV himself is great but he makes some good shit)

>>5816524

Yea, I can see your point

>>5816559
He just rambled about the usual "everyone else is just jealous and talentless" garbage. You didn't miss much trust me, but I think it killed some of my braincells.

>>5816556
All the discussion for that ate up the last thread. Don't act like nobody discussed any of this and we all just instantly hopped on the complaint train. We can talk about whatever.

Although, MoUP is my fave Legendary for G2 for sure and I love the new Makooti skull faction symbol.

>>5816542
I can't say this for everyone (although I know other anons that have done the same), but I've already had two accounts on TTV's boards banned because I've called out Eljay on his shit, both recent. I doubt any of my posts here, however reasonable, would make him think otherwise.

Good on your part on not taking part in this, but if you want to derail the circlejerk, you're better off not complaining about it and actually doing something like encouraging discussion about the new reveals that isn't already covered by the last thread, and using original content images to attract attention to that post.

[nospoilers]Are you the guy complaining about the laziness of the previous OPs about how they kept a stupid rumor video for the last couple of weeks?[/ontoy]

>>5816566
I hope the ones they showed in the video were prototypes, because they have waaaaay too much "crest" space and not enough "face" space

>>5816584
It looks like a cyclops with a quick glance.

>>5816584
They look just like the JtO version so I'd assume they're the final version. The detailing seems to be muddled because they're either 3D printed or hand painted tho. So hopefully we'll see runes added and more definition on things like the divides in the ring-crest on his forehead.

>>5816588
It makes me think of the scene in Osmosis Jones where Bill Murray has a giant zit on his forehead

>>5816566

I love that, like with the Toa, they're referencing G1 a lot, like the black protector with the black Mask of Fire, Makuta being able to shapeshift, him being called a Shadow Titan, the wings, etc, while adding new staff like the MoUP symbol (reminds me of the symbols Makuta and Takanuva got during 2003) and the purple and gold.

I just like that Makuta has proper followers with a war faction symbol. Kulta just had puppets and Umarak just unleashes an ancient evil. Like, I'm looking forward to mooks that are dedicated to their dark master.

>>5816661
Speaking of mooks: If the theory that Makuta's followers are actually the inhabitants of the capital that were sent to the shadow realm with him is correct, we might actually be getting villains for the next wave's small sets. Also something to potentially be excited for.

>>5816709
Shadow Protectors would be interesting to see. Would that mean we'd get gunmetal dual injected with element colors for those guys or some other colorscheme?

>>5816725
>>5816709
It would probably mean there would be significantly less off those small sets as the shadow/evil theme makes it harder to make them different enough from eachother

Please let the last wave be villians.
No more toa.

Too bad they just look like not-purple earth villagers.
The rotten sickly effect they did for infected masks, tohunga, and makuta was really cool.

>>5816747
I'm hoping for this too.
What's the point of them being upgraded again?

>>5816754
There's literally no reason.
But hey, JtO has them in their uniter form. so there's hope.

>>5816766
No way they'd get an upgrade if immediately following JtO is Makuta's arrival. There'd be no time. Similar to the coming of the Rahkshi after the Nuva defeated the Kal.

I originally thought that Ekimu was going to give the Toa new mask powers for their 2016 forms, and that they would play a more prominent role in helping defeat Makuta. This was supported by the official website saying that some skull spiders have special powers like X-ray vision, super speed, and enhanced strength. They could possibly still go this route, since we see skull spiders in JtO, but it's most likely not gonna happen.

>>5810084

Doesn't the Mask of Ultimate Power actually look like a demonic Avokhii? It did in the silouhette, and it even does now that the whole design's been revealed.

>>5816935
Maybe it's a pseudo reference towards the shadowleech infected version? Or maybe reference towards the 03 Makuta set that had 2 silver ones as hands.

I don't get it either. The Skull Villains were what got Me into Bonkle. Hell, the only hero I have is Ekimu.

What was it like to discover the ten years of Bonkle prior?

Kids like heroes. It's that simple.

>>5817039
Bohrok and Rahkshi were huge cashmachines.
I could swear the public liked more of the piraka and barraki as well than the toa of that year.

>>5817044
Good point, but things change. It's a different market with different influences and a different audience.

>>5817025
G1 never did anything for Me. I gave them a shot back in 2008 or 2009 with Skrall and Tuma, and wasn't all that impressed. I was always more of microfig fan, anyway.

I picked up Skull Basher on a whim since he was marked down 50%, and he just clicked. Skull Warriors are awesome as giant fantasy terminators, and the giant devil terminator of Skull Grinder was something I never knew I needed until I got him. Ekimu was a pleasent surprise, being a smaller but awesome little guy. I'm tempted to go back and get some of the other protectors. I'm in love with Kulta, even if both Umaraks are better builds. I even had to get a gold skull mask for Kulta.

The Toa don't do anything for Me, though.

I'm all for experiencing the best of G1. What do you recommend?

>>5817059

2002 is my favorite, though (The Bohrok, the Bahrag Queens, the Exo Toa, and the Boxor). A lot of the titans from 2005-2007 are top notch as well.

t. Makooti

Implying the Toa have a higher form. We're getting more Toa.

>>5816814
They'll probably reach their final form when defeating Umarak, or at some point in early 2017

>>5817087
I think he just might be referring to the Toa refusing to combine their powers together with darkness like the MoUP. Ekimu keeps saying "United but not one" is the path to victory, but Makuta likely believes that the heroes are squandering the true potential they have by not embracing the power of becoming "one."

All of which may or may not have something to do with the title.

>>5814254
I'm in agreement about an age limit since these contests should be aimed at kids, not a 30 year old AFOL.

I mean it comes down to who needs the prize more? A Kid who was only able to get a few from each line or the AFOL who had 4+ copies of each set to bulk up his collection?

>>5817123
there is an age limit it's 13 and above.

2001-2003 are considered "the golden years" and it really shows, especially in the departments of creativity and having a unique tribal atmosphere, among other really nice things (mostly courtesy of the mata nui online game). The figures really don't have any posability in these years, like, at all. Instead, the focus is put on function.
I wasn't really there to experience the golden years in full, but I do think they are the best years.
After the golden years, stuff gets really complicated plot and lore-wise. The figures continue to retain function, but completely lose any gear related functions in 2006 (so glad G2 brought them back).
I don't blame you for disliking 2008 and 2009; not many people really liked those years anyway.
G1 was always a lot more mature and developed than G2 has been (and probably will continue to be).
If you only really care about sets, might as well stick with G2, but if you have some extra cash then just get a bohrok. Everyone loves the bohrok.

>>5815626
who created that? Wanna look at their MOCing catalog since to me that's literally a 10/10

>>5817160
This, just don't take a liking to the Rahi sets, you won't find them for cheap. Also I'd recommend OG Makuta as well just because it's fucking Makuta and he's easy to find and quite cheap for a titan

I was lucky enough to find the tarakava, makuta, and the barahg for a total of around $25 on kijiji. The tarakava were missing their jaws, but I was still really grateful, and I bought some other stuff from the same guy later.
Basically, if you have kijiji in your country, check it. That wasn't the only time I found a good deal.

>>5817160
2001-2003 are good really only for the story. Sets are average by today's standards, even counting their functions. On the other hand since 2004 we got a shitload of great sets, from canisters to titans, that hold up pretty well.

>>5817329
by the way 2008 had shit sets but 2009 was just as awesome as ever, the tribal feel was executed very well imho.

>>5817333
Honestly no. Every figure from 2008-2010 is garbage due to the breaking parts, at least vehicles stay together.

>>5817351
Oh god...the vehicle sets...I only managed to get the Cendox V1 and Mazeka with the turret from that era.

>>5817333
Despite the fragile pieces, I really liked 2008 actually. The final battle story and "apocalypse countdown" were pretty tense and I really think people give the Phantoka/Mistika a harder time than they deserve JUST because of their ill resemble to the Nuva. A few of the Makuta are really great and inspired designs as well, and the Axalara, Jetrax, and Swamp Strider are especially impressive vehicles.

welp, apparently the video was taken down, the page still exists, but the video doesn't show and it's not in the list of videos from the theme.

>>5817481
In terms of sets? A single, expensive set of a combiner Makuta a la Ultimate Dume. Make it exclusive to a certain store (or Lego.com).

>>5817379
2008 had some pretty solid mask designs. Antroz's remains one of my favourites to this day

>>5817481
As long as Ekimu doesn't swoop in to save the day and do the final blow like last year and most likely this year.

>>5817509
I really hope for this as well, as going by the trailer for JTO episode four, ekimu swoops in and saves the day just like last year

>>5817481
I want the final piece of media to end with "new legends awake, but old lessons must be remembered... this is the way of the Bionicle."

Honestly the one of the only positive outcomes of Bionicle's possible cancellation again is what might happen to TTV/BZP. I can see TTV devolving into just random podcasts about RL junk, and their message boards losing users until irrelevancy(that's assuming a new constraction IP they don't latch onto doesn't come around). BZP on the other hand I can totally see becoming a mini Eurobricks by expanding their system forums, and dropping the Bionicle theme completely.

Just some random thoughts.

>>5817487
I was wondering why they didn't wait the few days until after the JtO episodes they used footage from were actually out, but I guess this confirms that it was just another leak.
