this or break it up into packages of "random" parts based on weight, like 1 or 2 pound boxes. Those sell on ebay, but I don't know how well they do. You may have more luck now than any other time now that the line is ending again.

>>5832959
For me I am less sad about G2 ending than the reminder of G1 ending and the fact that we will never get an experience like that from lego ever again. G2 never quite lived up to G1 in the story department and now never will, and Lego will never bring Bionicle back ever again.

anyone here taking part in the makuta contest?

>>5830209
>>5830232
anyone know where you can buy these sets? I need SOMETHING to fill my 2017 shelf...

>>5832974
I'm going to but I don't know what to make

they have rules up, right?

>>5833011
http://www.lego.com/en-us/rebrick/contest-page/contests/lego-bionicle-contest
>Your creation should primarily consist of LEGO BIONICLE, LEGO Constraction and LEGO Technic bricks, but you are allowed to use up to 10% system bricks
>Your entry must not contain military themes or defamatory or degrading elements
>Your entry must not contain copies of any existing third party work or creation, or infringements of any third party intellectual property right will

Quite simple, really.
At least we don't have to compete again with that BZP clusterfuck that won the gold mask contest.

>I think 2016 gali is the weakest of all 2016 sets

She's probably the one who looks the most "incomplete" without the creature and the way they attached the armor left a lot to be desired.
But when combined and the shells switched around she became one of my favorites along with Pohatu.

Yeah apparently he's not done yet ("I have yet to do the cheeks and the chin spikes.") But as it is, this version is the best one we have so far.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAVTiK4e7v8

Am I the only one shocked at this? The level of unprofessionalism and lack of care is disgusting. "So I'm here walking around outside, figured I'd make a video about BIONICLE ENDING AGAIN?! 2010 all over again, right? Lol, see ya in the next podcast, watch all out other videos, k bye fuck off."

I haven't really watched ttv in like 2 years, but I figured they'd gotten more respectable since then.

>>5833088
>>5833067
I fucking hate how fan masks are almost always too flat. There should be way more depth on that thing.

>>5833116
Not a fanboy but he probably wanted to make a vid as close to discovering the news as he could and wasn't near any of his equipment. At least they were quick to report it and gave their expanded thoughts in the latter video. It's called Breaking News for a reason.

>>5832981

I was told to scroll through Aliexpress until I strike gold, but I don't see anything so far

>>5833116
Kahi (or John as he likes to be called now) has been doing this all the time lately, he has a vision for the podcast that is honestly not a really great one, seeming to make his decisions based on how much money and popularity he will get rather than whats best for their fans or fans of Bionicle in general.

I thought Var was the same as Kahi, but have since changed my mind and he is pretty cool.

I would say He, Venom and Mesonak are some of the better members of the cast in terms of general attitude towards the fanbase and Meso especially seems the least like a lego shill out of the cast.

>>5833163
They make every other news video in a standard way, be it Var, Meso, Eljay, whoever being the one actually giving out the news, but 100% of Kahi's breaking news videos are facecams like this.

>>5832974
I can't MOC for shit, but I'm still going to try since I have a neat concept in mind.

>go to amazon and look up bonkles for the heck of it
>reading reviews
>countless reviews of parents that bought for children who loved it

They did sell, Lego, they did!

It just hurts so bad guys

>>5833379
The people who actually bought sets being happy with them doesn't mean that enough actually sold.
What it does indicate is that the problem was almost certainly related to marketing and not the product itself, but I think we knew that already.

>>5833389
well, no commercials, JTO was only on Netflix, 2016 Summer wasn't even sold at Retailers.

Marketing fucked up.

>>5833452
Even just all the spelling errors and shit on the website was an indicator of how fucked the line was from the start.

>Onya

>>5833203
>Aliexpress
I shall be on the hunt myself.

if ANYONE finds them, hurry up and link em!

>>5833389
To an extent. But marketing alone isn't what makes a product sell. An exceptionally good product can get away with less marketing. If they think they can make a new product with a fresh new theme that will sell better with the same amount of marketing, that's what they're going to do. R&D costs are less than marketing in a way; R&D only happens once, while marketing is a continuous endeavor.

>>5833452
You forget that commercials and TV shows cost millions of dollars and aren't even made for all lego themes. G1 was a lucky fad, and only lasted a few years at that. Lego isn't trying to bet on another fad; they want a predictable and successful product that fills the niche of constraction that can last a few years and be replaced if need be.

Bionicle doesn't need to be (and shouldn't be) forever. If Hero Factory had been the same sets but called 'Bionicle', half of you guys would have eaten it up and half of you would have complained that it's different, just like with G2. It doesn't matter what Lego calls its constraction line. No matter what it's called, it's going to be some hastily written bullshit to market toys to children, and it's going to be plastic pieces designed to make action figures.

It's better that Bionicle is ending, because it was old and played out. CCBS needs some new spice, and all the media surrounding G2 was pure garbage, I don't know why anyone would miss it.

>>5833467

Just scrolled through all 8 pages of their search results for "bionicle" with no luck. Where to boys?

>>5833474
HF even had the TV special to springboard the line. The least LEGO could've done was play the webisodes on CN or Nick, and have JtO on standard television. And another factor is that unlike HF, Bionicle had to compete as the top constraction theme with Star Wars as episode 7 was on the cusp of release, so more people bought those over the Bionicle toys. Sure we had those Superhero ones, but they were so bad it badly did shit to HF.

>>5833489

I have accepted that we are meant to suffer, anon. It gets easier when you move along.

I wonder if you could add a ball joint where the armor connects to make it look like the chest sticks out more...

>>5833541
...what does this mean? West Union? T/T?

After months of procrastinating I final started picking up the summer sets starting with Umarak and Ekimu. And holy shit, who the fuck said these sets were bad?! Sure Umarak's neck can be filled in a bit and Ekimu's shins can be lengthened, but by God these sets are excellent. I can't speak for the Beasts yet, but this wave is a great way to end Bionicle with.

It's a combiner as confirmed by Dorek who met the designers back in June.

-Lord of Skullspiders
-Maskmaker vs Skullgrinder
-Ikir Creature of Fire
-Tahu Uniter of Fire
-Onua Uniter of Earth
-Umarak The Hunter
-Umarak The Destroyer

>>5834864
I know it's a combiner.

But I'd rather buy the parts separately instead of buying dupes of the sets, because that thing clearly won't use single purple or green part from Onua and Umaraks, and there's bunch of other ones as well.

>>5834796
Yeah but then it would be 100% vehicle sets, none of which would look good (probably based around shooting and/or splitting into other vehicles gimmicks), the minifigs would have looked awful since lego puts no effort into those, and the entire story would be so based on these shitty vehicles that it wouldnt even be bionicle anymore.

Come to think of it, I don't remember a single vehicle in all of G2 except for Ekimu's airship in that one comic. It really would have been a completely different story as a System line.

>>5834868
Well assuming that they built the buildings from G2

>>5834887
That's not how modern lego works, you would get maybe like, the tiniest facade of a building, probably just a very scaled down single wall with some action features, and the main focus of the set would be some sort of large vehicle.

>>5834888
Dude I'm just saying the locations of G2 looked good.

>>5834888

I'm more interested in the Shapeways one though.

Who is that Kulta-like guy on the top shelf with Vader and the others? I really like him, I forgot how good bright red and gunmetal look together.

After the initial shock that made me want to ragequit Lego for good, I have a newfound resolve to gather my parts and build new MOCs, and actually think that not having many new parts to deal with next year might help me focus on the old stuff and find uses for it.

Anyone else feel the same?

>>5834894
It's not Ninjago / Nexo Knights shitposting, its the truth. The only way a theme gets actual structures / buildings and not just vehicles is if its REALLY successful.

In a long run, even if Bonkle is dead, it really helped CCBS as a building system.

Even the last wave of Hero Factory (the beasts especially) were pretty plain build-wise. It was just all bones and shells. Just think of all the new things that we got thanks to Bionicle. Even the first wave introduced the gearbox, which was perfected with the new SW torso. It reintroduced bright green to CCBS palette, and added azure and dark orange altogether. The bony-bone, two new armor addons and unity-piece are all great pieces in their own right. Then there was the torso with waist articulation.

I'm not saying that G2 didn't have issues, but on the long run, it had certainly its share of good things as well.

idk anon, shit like pic related ended up looking a lot more bionicle-y than most of G2, hell HF used more Bionicle parts than G2 ever did, things like Piraka / Shadow matoran feet whereas we just get the generic beast feet pieces.

>>5835004
It may look like Bionicley, but that particular one also looks like ass.

>>5834013
HF wasn't that bad, other than the first wave, the smaller fire villains, the 3.0 heroes and a few of the IFB sets. Breakout was the best wave.

>>5834998
Did that today. Also suggested that they could put the MoUP in there and asked them about Journey to One DVDs.

>>5834770
Fans are making 3D models to print anyways. I say there's no harm in trying. Leave a sig anyways to help out.

So wait, I don't get this. Is there a set Makuta model? Was it just not released? I've heard many people mention something like that. Could someone explain this to me? Sorry for being such a newfag

No.
>Was it just not released
No.

It a combination model. Instructions won't be released.

>>5835230
Why not? Is it because of the challenge?

>>5835232
No.

>>5835233
Then why

>>5835224
did you make that? It's pretty rad

>>5835235
Just because.

>>5835232
They built it to be used as Makuta's model in The Journey to One. They're either waiting until after the contest to give us instructions, can't do it because of some legal bullshit with Volta, or are being total assholes about it.

>>5835237
Yeah, I made it a while back

That's a quick MOC of a Cyberdemon. I took more inspiration from the new Doom than the older ones. The guy next to him was a shitty Revenant I did when I didn't have many pieces. I plan to go back to both of these and really do them justice later on.

3/3

>>5835377
Yeah, they did pretty well with their artists for the most part. I'd say the worst it got was with whoever they hired to do 2004/2005.

>>5835378
The same reason that villagers don't seem to turn into Toa, or how Makuta and his brother are actual brothers. They didn't want to stick too close to G1.

>>5835378
Ekimu isn't technically a Toa no, but he fills the roll of the seventh team member.

God im pissed. Well, anyone want a complete collection of the first half of the G2 wave.

>>5835385
If there had been a third year like it was orongsly planned, what do you think wouldve happened? Would the guardians have become toa?

>>5835399
Probably all that would have changed was instead of them BTFOing Makuta before he could arrive, Makuta and the Shadow City would return to Okoto as an evil empire the Toa would have to befall.

We might have gotten Shadow Protectors as the small sets, a new set of Toa imbued with light powers from Agil, and Makuta with the MoUP. And that'd be the final wave.

Would be an extra cherry on top if Tahu came with the Mask of Time.

>>5835399
I think that JtO would have ended differently. Ekimu may have granted the Toa one final set of armor and weapons, to become the Champions of Okoto.

The small sets would be villagers corrupted by shadow. Mostly black with hints of their original village's color, they would come with black/trans-element color masks, and include regular solid colored masks for when the Toa heal them. Give them different professions for weapon variety.

15$ villain set, "Rahkshi the Guardian" protecting the outskirts of the Shadow Realm.

And then a summer wave consisting of a bunch of shadow-villains homaging different G1 species, and a big Makuta the Mask Hoarder with gold MoUP and trans-black/trans-red MoUP.

facepalm

>>5835524
Sure, let's put it on market and ask well over $100 for it, what could possibly go wrong?

>>5835527
bring it down to 50 and we livin

>>5835536
In what world do you think it would be $50?

If it were a combo pack and even if they trimmed out all the pieces it doesn't use, that's nowhere near enough.

Look at Grievous, for example. He's 35 bucks and that Makuta is a lot taller and has easily well over twice as many pieces

>>5835541
those star wars figures are overpriced and only sell at that price because star wars

>>5835545
Okay, let's compare to Dragon Bolt then.

149 pieces, 20 bucks. I'd say Makuta has more pieces than say, three Dragon Bolts.

Well, I did some math.

IF Makuta would use every single piece, he would be sitting at hefty 1031 pieces. MSRP for the sets that make up him is $140.

But we can't count the truly accurate would-be price before we get the part list with the unused parts cut out.

I think the winter wave would've been Titan size Makuta and a few shadow enemies. I don't think the toa would've been upgraded at all.

>>5835757
Is it out already? I saw a bionicle magazine at a store but it just had a lame protector mask

>>5835796
That was one of the books. The magazine that's out now has a small scorpion build included with it.

>>5835821
ahh okay, ill look out for it next time I drop by a store with mags/books. both might be cool but ekimus falcon would be a nice addition to go with my collection

Just sent my completed email to Lego. I used 1999 of the 2000 available characters.

>>5835827
The scorpion is nothing special, but it's good if you want another Protector torso. The falcon is the better set. The scorpions are pretty cheap on eBay if you don't want to spend extra on the magazine itself.

So the corrupted trans green head looks eerie as fuck on a mask pedestal and I couldn't be happier with the results.

Ordering a set of minifig diamonds to decorate the edge in the six elements too. Hence the placeholder studs and the one purple diamond I had on hand.

>>5835365
What happened with the traced super hero art?

>>5836370
That was a different comic, I think it was in Lego Magazine or something.

fuck this company, sell bonkle to mega bloks

>>5836374
Why are companies so shit these days with making customers happy, even 50% of video games is just microtransaction crap now. are there any industries left with little to no BS?

Just...sigh. Obvious issues aside, isn't it illegal to make and sell likenesses of irl people without their consent? Because if it isn't, then we should submit an idea for a Modern Feminism Figureheads set including Anita Sarkeesian, Zoe Quinn and Big Red among the others. The set will aim to educate kids and grownups alike about third way feminism and what kind of people have come to define it.

Or failing that, we should submit an idea for a Milo Yiannopoulos minifig. That'd be fucking awesome.

I think you're in the wrong thread, partner.

>>5836446

Eh. /lg/ doesn't appreciate drama while we're used to sjw bullshit thanks to bzp. Plus now that CCBS is collapsing, we're turning to mixels and other such system stuff.

>>5836456
>we're turning to mixels and other such system stuff.
Are we though? Who the fuck decided that? That was the first explicitly systemfag post I've seen in the entire thread.

>>5836456
CCBS isnt collapsing its thriving in $30 80 piece star wars figures YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

the thing is once ep 7-9 is done their figures wont sell as much then theyll be like oh shit we need bonkle again

>>5836456
We're here to ESCAPE that bullshit though. So fuck off.

>>5836479
>oh shit we need bonkle again
Here's a thought. If they DO bring it back again, what if this time they DON'T treat the audience like degenerate toddlers who can't understand depth on any level?

I'm very sad at the premature death of G2, however, I'm pretty excited to see what could be in store for a new IP taking advantage of ccbs. If it's just superheroes and star wars though, LEGO won't be seeing any of my money.
What would you like to see next?

>>5836495
itll either be nexo knights CCBS or nothing

Pic related is the email I got back. I can't help but find it funny she said Makuta was from 2005 because I'm an asshole.

Also I already signed that petition as soon as it went up, really hope something good happens from it.

uniter lewa would probably be my favourite if it was solid green without the nuva symbol on it

>>5836495
I don't know what I want--I feel like everything's been done already. But I would like to see a standardized zoo-themed line that can maybe used as a educational tool so it has some practical uses like Mind Storm. That way it's less likely to die off in 3 years.

Says you. I'm done giving this shit company my money. Anything Lego I get in the foreseeable future is coming from the flea market or Bricklink.

My autism hasn't given me an urge to check BZP since G2's cancellation. Feels good, man. Finally rid of that shithole.

>>5834848
Please give instructions to put this together

So are these threads gunna be dead/nonexistant in a couple weeks/days?

>>5836658
Nah they'll continue in some form, hopefully with CCBS.

>>5836658
They'll get much slower pretty fast, but I don't think they'll ever disappear completely unless Lego cancels ALL of constraction entirely FOREVER.

>>5835286
I'm half tempted to buy a pair of black Tohunga feet and infected Hau from BL (I have two but god knows where they actually are) and enter with MNOLG Makuta just for fun.

>>5836751
Thought about putting the Mask of Control on Ultimate Dume or some shit just to see if they notice. Kek.
