To the anon that shared this image or anyone who's built ultimate makuta, what's the weight (or parts too) ratio of Makuta to leftover parts?

>>5869947
>tfw gf enjoys your kid hobby as well and likes to build bionicles too

>>5869958
you could build at least 2 and 1/2 decent figures with the parts left over.

>>5869959
>I'm never meeting a girl whom I can share my hobby with

>>5869981

Not with that attitude you're not

>>5869977
Is that like Lego Decent, basic MOC decent, or awesome decent?

>>5869983
Sorry, sometimes my loneliness acts up.

>>5869984
depends on your level of creativity.
you can still get some good usage out of the parts.

>>5869987

It's okay anon, everything works out eventually. Be patient my friend.

If i was to go out and get the MOUP, what material would you all suggest, and how would I go about making it black?

They should be accurate according to the poster.

Wait, then how did they attach the rear skirt? I thought the gold foot clipped on the mid-ball, with the Ikir head clipping on the end? A black one, or did one of us fuck up the build?

>tfw your bionicle package doesnt come even though it shouldve arrived

If you buy the remote controls and motors for the manas from two different bricklink sellers, will they work together?

>>5870085
I'm fairly sure that they do. Both of them have two or three different frequences.

You could control both Manas with one remote if you just set the frequences right.

>>5870085
They'll work. I had to replace a body a few years ago and the frequencies still match.

it's not awful or rancid or anything but whenever i get close to him the smell is slightly off putting

>>5870155

How much did you pay?

Because you really shouldn't order out of print Lego from Amazon because 99% of the sellers charge ridiculous amounts for it.

>>5870159
it was only like 15 dollars

>>5870164
Eh, still more expensive than on Bricklink.

>>5870167
Oh woops, i'll admit it's my first time actually ordering anything online

>>5870041
not only that, it's ugly as fuck

Does Nocturne have any sockets or shit that breaks easy? I never got him when I was younger but I kind of don't want to bother if hes gonna break

>>5870197
It's the gunmetal colour. There's not a lot of pieces that are that colour so you end up with a mask that doesn't fit with the rest of the body
And it's really fucking big. Seriously

>>5870199
Nah, he is safe from breaking as best as I know.

>>5870199
His lime parts are balls, not sockets, so they're more durable. He's got a lot of transparent joints, though, but I don't think mine has any breaks. At least it's not those shitty '08-style joints.

>>5870155

This post has me curious, how many of you guys actually phased out of bionicle at some point, and why? When did you pick it back up?

>>5870275
I personally followed it as best as I could. I still need to get most of the fucking vehicle sets and the bigger Rahi sets from the first year.

>>5870275
Glatoran, since I was too poor and found it dumb, got all the stars though, for better or worse. Mostly worse

>>5869937
Here's the Discord https://discord.gg/PefNWRJ

>>5870275

Phased out just out of disinterest after I got a couple Mahri sets. Go back into it by complete accident with Glatorian.

>be in Walmart in July 2009, know absolutely nothing about bonkle lore after 2007
>see Glatorian, what the hell are these guys
>see Mata Nui and say to myself "oh so he was a gladiator before he was a robot god, cool" (thought it might've been prequel stuff idk I didn't know what was happening)
>Vastus catches my eye and I just fell in love

Apparently he's not a crowd favorite because of hordika legs but I love him so

>>5870275
Roughly started phasing it out during the Glatorian arc. I don't even know what the whole All Star arc was. I thought it was just LEGO's quick cash grab since Bionicle was announced that it was cancelled at that time. Little did I know it was actually a part of the story
Never paid attention to G2. At all

>>5870275
I phased out vaguely in the beginning of 03; Kal bored me, and I didn't feel like the collectible hunt. Aside from that, nope, all the way.

>>5870275
Started in 2005 with the Toa Hagah (because they're awful), but I really lost interest with the Inika (because they were also awful). Pretty much only bought titans from 05-07 and not a single set after that until the Stars.

>>5870275
Was active with Bionicle from 2001-2005. Phased out of it after seeing the hordika and such and didn't have any interest in the story as much with metru nui. Metru nui just didn't have the mystery for me as much as the mata nui saga did. I don't have anything against the later years of bionicle, it just wasn't interesting for me.

I picked Bionicle back up with the leaked info of G2 and seeing the designs being a nod to the toa mata.

So what is the better material for JTO Makuta shapeways mask?
Black Strong & Flexible or Black Acrylic?

>>5870322
Black Acrylic will be smoother, I think. But it's a fairly new process, so there's probably a better chance for imperfection. I've never ordered the material myself though.

>>5870328
Don't. If he asks when there will be more sets coming out, just tell him they're not making them anymore, but that he can still make his own creations and tell his own stories.

>>5870332
You're a little late for the mask finding contest there, buddy.

>>5870327
Worst part is that I have to wait till tomorrow to pick it up.

>>5870328
Just stock pile a few bigger sets now for him and then get him ccbs from other themes. The bigger variety of themed pieces means he'll have more fun trying out different combinations.

>>5870336
At least it's safe at the post office for x time (a week in my country)

>>5870275
I was there since 2001 but I wasn't that into the line until the first movie came out, so much of 2002 and the Kal saga was a blind spot for me.

Then in 2005, I almost dropped out because I had no idea what the story was. Weirdly enough, it may have been BZP that helped me through, because that was when I discovered it and reading discussions kept me around.

I gave up on G2 at the beginning of this year.

>>5870307

I seem to be the only one that loved the Inika. Masks were weird, builds were too samey, but I just loved the size of the sets and the story behind them and zamor launches actually had a punch to them.

Also MOVE ALONG MOVE ALONG

>>5870380
I'm sure my brother didn't appreciate the fact the launchers were stronger :^)

>>5870275
around glaitorian I stopped caring because of the inika build

>>5870380
I personally loved the Inika. Sure, they basically caused all sets from then on to have the same chest build, but the whole Voya Nui/Mahri Nui arc was one of the best arcs in the series
Plus it had a great game
Sucks that it was the one arc I didn't get a lot of sets from. I only got Jaller and two Pirahka out of that line.

Speaking of MOVE ALONG MOVE ALONG, what's /biog/'s favourite Biocicle song?

>>5870423
Hero.

>>5870275
Started from the beginning, dropped in early 2004. Back then at the ripe old age of 10, I hadn't followed much of the lore and just loved the sets, so when suddenly the Toa were replaced by the Toa Metru, I had no idea who they were and my reaction was "what fresh bullshit is this? Where's Tahu? Where's Gali? Where are the other ones who I care about less because red and blue are the best? Vakawhothefuckareyou? What kind of weapon is a disk shooter? Do they all have this instead of a real weapon? Lame."

A year later I saw the Visorak on shelves and was like "Spiders? I'll pick this one up but the toa are fighting spiders? What happened to the bohrok and the wah wah wah. I only got 2 sets in 2004 and 2005, being Vakama and one of the Visorak.

Then in 2006 I saw more of them in stores and my reaction was roughly "Woah, what the fuck is up with these toa? The Toa Piraka? They've got kickass teeth and their weapons and wait what the fuck is an Inika? Vezon and Fen... Good god, titans are cool as hell!" Then stuck with it from there all the way through to now.

All those god damn sets I passed up because I was a god damn idiot and picked favourite colour over fucking everything

>>5870275
I held off on the Hordika because I didn't care for the build and thought spiders were a dumb enemy. (Ironically I really love the 2005 story now)

Then these weird "Toa Piraka" show up and I grabbed Hakann out of interest but thought they were weirdly edgy. Was real excited about the matoran becoming toa, but I got Jaller and the organic masks were one weird design choice too many over the past two years.

Got back with the reboot and discovered how much I'd missed out on. My bank account hasn't been the same since.

Obviously shinier, but I think fairly close in shade to Lego's current gold color.

I agree!

>>5870494

Yeah, matte gold is definitely the better option, I think.

>>5870490
>>5870491
Very nice. Do I want to know how much it was?

>>5870466
Actually, back then, Green was my favorite color. I just had first set bias thanks to Gali and I always thought Tahu was the coolest because "I'm seven/eight years old and fire is the coolest shit". But hell if I didn't miss out on some awesome sets because of other childhood biases.

Is there enough left over to rebuild Ekimu? It would be neat to have the swole Makuta face off against the smallest version of his brother.

(Obviously he can't have his shield.)

>>5870624
Almost, only two ball joints are missing for the gearbox

>>5870380
It's mostly the masks that make me hate them. The builds are fine, they're not my favorite ever, but they're not Av-Matoran tier either. The masks were just so creepy and they looked completely out of place. I kept wondering how we had fallen so far from the previous Toa.

>>5870328
You don't have to. If he enjoys the sets more than the story, you should do fine occasionally gifting him other G2 sets until the next original CCBs line rolls around.

Or give him Star Wars sets to transition him into the lone survivor in the current world of Lego Constraction.

>>5870624
You need a couple parts, mostly just the technic balls.

>>5870466
At least sticking to a color means that you have a healthy supply of parts to use. Your color schemes will be repetitive, but you can't beat that part variety.

>>5870632
Need I remind you the previous Toa were the Hordika? What are you smoking, sir?

>>5870275
I was really die-hard into Bionicle from mid-2001 to sometime in 2005. I was transitioning into Transformers around then, and the clone sets were doing less and less for me compared to getting a unique transforming robot. The loss of proper accessory packs also killed some of my interest, since that was a real highlight of my childhood.

What I used to justify it, though, was 2006.
>the tribal fantasy world I grew up with was now about ghetto gangstas with guns
>Axonn and Brutaka had lazy names, which I took as a sign of things to come
>the Toa Nuva being written out after anxiously awaiting a return after two years
>those ugly fucking Inika masks and plate-heads on Jaller & Co.

I'm over most of that now, and in retrospect I'm really glad I got off BZPower when I did. I didn't come back until I stumbled across Stars Tahu and Takanuva at Toys R Us in winter 2009, which was probably the best time to come back to the series since I got the ending as it happened without sitting through the Phantoka/Mistika/Glatorian low points. Of course the ending was literally a dropped rock, so meh.

>>5870675
>>the tribal fantasy world I grew up with was now about ghetto gangstas with guns
>>the Toa Nuva being written out after anxiously awaiting a return after two years
Neither of those things were true at all. Did you even read any of the story material, or did you just pay attention to the terrible marketing?

>>5870683
The terrible marketing made me not want to bother with the story, since that's what 13-year-old me assumed it was like. Since I wasn't bothering with the story at that point, I didn't think the Nuva were doing anything after I heard they got their asses kicked and later chained up.

Like I said, those weren't the actual reasons I fell away from Bionicle, but those were what I used to justify it back then.

Someone please tell cyberhand on TTV to keep the steel option up. I'd be putting the mask on a pedestal and I'd but be using a technic connection but I REALLY want it in gold steel. Just tell him to put a warning in the product description.

>>5870674
I was more so referring to the Mata, Nuva and Metru Toa. But yeah, I wasn't a big fan of the Hordika either, but to me, they at least looked like they belonged in universe. The Inika did not.

>>5870207
>tfw you have all of Takanuva's form's masks and can see the evolution of their designs.

>>5870970
There's three, right? Excluding Makuta's there's the OG, Phantoka's, and All Star's?
Isn't All Star's just a recolour of OG?

>>5870970
> all forms

Weren't there just two? Or are you including Stars?

>>5870974
It is, a slightly different shade of silver.

>>5870984
But
But the OG one is gold

>>5870986
But it's not really a third step in terms of evolution of design; since it's the first design recycled.

>>5870986
I know, the colors changed from gold-white to silver white for some reason.

>>5870989
Then really the All Star mask doesn't count in terms of evolution considering it's a recolour
Kind of blows if you didn't get the OG Takanuva. Kind of like the Ignika since it also came in gold and silver

>>5870994
My guess is they wanted Tahu's gold armor to be special during Stars, but by giving Takanuva two gold Nuva shoulders and a gold mask it would defeat the purpose of "Build the golden Toa" since you could just buy the already entirely gold one.

>>5871011
They also probably wanted to just stick to the "hey look at all these colors it's just like when you got those other sets of 6 guys right because they're all the different 6 colors"

>>5870275
I phased out of Bionicle in mid 2009 because my parents got divorced and made me unhappy forever hahaha

>>5871050
>>5871052
Might get a 2nd claw, guys on the Discord also reccomended it. His design is too fucking solid.

>>5870994
In-story it was because Takanuva could use his light powers to change his own appearance. I'm sure the single Toa of Light was somehow a threat to Makuta during the Reign of Shadows, so Takanuva hid himself in a color scheme slightly more subtle than gleaming gold, I guess.

Takadox, Ehlek and Carapar are the best of the Barraki, in that order. Pridak is cool, Kalmah is okay, and Mantax is very very meh.

>>5871036
Gold Steel is pretty heavy for a Bionicle figure, and Cyber-hand is considering taking the option to get one off of shapeways, and I don't blame him.

Has anyone ordered a black acrylic MoUP yet? I wanna know how that turns out.

>>5871119
How does shapeways work like that? Does he get paid less money for having more options or something?
>>5871124
I want to see how it compares to strong and flexible black. I'm probably going to get the latter since I'm too poor to afford any of the metal ones but if the quality/lego look is significantly better on acrylic I might try that.

>>5871042

>>5871126
>How does shapeways work like that?
It doesn't. He just personally doesn't want anyone to damage their Bionicle heads because the mask is too tight on the metal prints.

Here are some minifigure hats printed in the material. You be the judge.

Seems to work best on REALLY small shit, which is why I'd like to see how well it works for something larger like the Titan Scale MoUP first. I don't want to order it if it turns out to be a mess.

>>5871143
Oh that's pretty kind of him then. Maybe he can try making a metal friendly model?
>>5871146
I think the texture actually looks way better than the flexible black, I hope someone buys it so we can compare.

It really seems to vary. Could be the diverse lighting situations though.

>>5871148
I'm hoping there is a comparison too. It's so hard holding off on the mask just waiting for others to buy it first.

>>5871157
I'm justifying it by the knowledge that they will be available forever and even if I waited 5 years for it would probably be able to get the same mask.

who was the best?

IMO Takadox

>>5871117
Takadox and Ehlek were literally a liftarm. Carapar and Kalmah were Piraka-build. Pridak was a mess. Mantax was good.

>>5871311
takadox

>>5871311
I really like Pridak. The shark details really stand out and create a uniform appearance. Mantax is my second choice.

>>5871311
Ehlek is my fav barraki. The color and design was appealing to kid me, along with his claw blades and his electric spines. Still have him front row of my collection shelf. Unfortunately, since him and hahli share Lego osteo perosis from the cursed lime parts, I've been having to replace their pieces :'(

I doubt he'd bother making a metal friendly model but I'd assume all that'd have to be done is increase the Titan mask's size by micrometers and then decrease the size of the attachment points, again by micrometers.

But really though, if he doesn't bother, I wanted a steel MoUP for mask pedestal, and I doubt it'd get permanently fixed to some technic bits.

I have good memories of Ehlek. My family was pretty poor, so when my dad actually got a good job, he saved up, and took us to Disney World for vacation (this was around 5th grade). We stopped at lego world and I bought both Ehlek and Dekar with my saved up birthday money. All his lime pieces are busted now and I'm pretty sure my dog shredded his spike things, but he was awesome while he lasted

>>5871812
Not that guy but Nocturn was my favorite titan from 2007. Hydraxon just felt like a beefed up Toa and Maxilos was too gappy for my taste. I understand his build was super intricate and he even had torso articulation, but Nocturn was a pretty fun build himself. Not to mention his colors were super vibrant and his silhouette was the most unique of the three.

>tfw made a wanted list on BL with Makuta-parts with the help of images from the earlier in the thread
>super paranoid that I made a mistake that I'll order wrong amount of parts or something thanks to it

At least my own BL store already has a good portion of the parts, so it's all good for now.

Now if only I could be bothered to actually remove them from there, but it's such a hassle that I'll do it later.

>>5871812
You wanna name someone better and more unique?

Hydraxon was pretty much a standard set but bigger
Maxilos and spinax were very cool, so i'll give them that, but neither had 4 fucking arms.
Lesovik was a toa set with a vehicle
Gadunka was a fucking mess
Kazharnia was a really big set with 2 matoran and that trap thing, so it cant really be compared to one figure. besides, he was really weird looking and I'm sure everyone would have preferred his non mutant form.

Am I missing something?

>>5871672
That's silly.
Hydraxon is the most solid titan after Brutaka.

>>5871225
I always interpreted it as meaning his duty is to the Brotherhood of Makuta's goals; the Mask of Shadows is their emblem (the acting leader gets to wear it). Of course even that is a lie given he betrayed them all in the end, but he had to keep the act up so they'd serve his own schemes

FACT: G2 should've been a one year run, collectors oriented line and nothing more.

>>5871855
so they made it a 2 year collectors oriented line instead?

Not him, but yeah, being a standard humanoid made Hydraxon pretty boring in the design department. Not to mention he was just black and silver.

>>5871866

Yes, because G2 specifically catered to their early-mid 20s collector demographic.

More detailed reinditions of the Toa, homages to old villains, and a darker story. Hell, no story would've been acceptable to me in this case. If Lego would've been like "here are amped up versions of 2001 Toa as a final thank you and goodbye" just as a tribute type of thing I would've been cool with it. They should've made it SPECIFICALLY for older fans, because while it was clearly kid oriented, advertising was horrid. It may as well have been aimed at only us because we're the only ones who knew about it it seems.

>>5871849
Wasn't the line a reference to his supposed original characterization (not truly evil just misguided, possibly corrupted by his mask) that was scrapped during the movie's production?

>>5871908
How else was anybody but collectors supposed to know about it, when the didn't advertise anything?

G2 was mostly done for the sake of the sets, not the story, and mostly only fell onto the radar of those old enough to remember G1. That's sounds pretty collector oriented to me... intentionally or not.

>>5871915
>Putting Toa Mata Nui on a list that is meant to represent quality.
Opinion disregarded.

>>5871936
The sets weren't collectible enough. The CCBS system left all the Toa as clones, the mask molds weren't different enough, and all of the villains were boring as hell. It may have been intended as a collectors line, but it certainly didn't turn out like one.

>>5871946
>The CCBS system left all the Toa as clones, the mask molds weren't different enough
Confirmed retardation. You can stop trying to force this special brand of autism on the rest of us now.

>Not even putting based Brutaka on the list

>>5871955
>Reusing shells from Hero Factory
>New pieces are gaudy and almost unusable on MOCs
>Out of box models look badly proportioned
>Dual injected masks screwing up the colors

If it wanted to be a collectors line, it would have been it's own thing, not Hero Factory with a loose Bionicle theme.

Hell, the skullytons only used 3 masks between 5 of them, and one of them was the cannon fodder villain from the tiny sets.

Stop pretending like this line was a collectors line. It was made without a clear intended target audience.

>>5871936

They should've went full force collectors oriented if they were gonna half ass it like they did. Instead we got something that was clearly for kids but was generally only bought by older fans because the marketing was shit.

If it was marketed to us and for us, wholly and fully, it would've been much better. If they were going to market it to children, then they needed to advertise it as such. I cannot recall the first commercial since G2 came about of G2 itself. Netflix exclusive series that was 8 episodes long didn't help.

Bottom line is Lego didn't give a damn about either demographic for whatever reason.

>>5871311
Mantax was my favorite and Ehlek was my brothers.

>>5871311
Ehlek by far

>>5871969
>Hero Factory with a loose Bionicle theme.
Jesus christ, it's been two years. When will this meme die?

>>5871311
I liked Takadox a lot personally, the creepy glowy look was very accurate to deep sea life, behind that were Kalmah and Carapar at a tie.

Also did anyone ever have a misprinted instruction booklet? I had my Pridak with red eyes on the booklet cover for some reason.

>>5871970
I could understand them not giving a damn about us if their main interactions with the community involve circlejerks like BZP

>>5871979
As long as autism speaks.

>>5871979
>Same shells
>Same torsos for wave 1
>4 new pieces (Head, Eyestalk, Masks, The piston add-on)
> Most things considered "new" were recolors or prints

When Bionicle was first launched, the Toa were mostly new pieces. When HF first launched, they pioneered CCBS. Hell, even the Star Wars CCBS sets had more new elements than Bionicle2.

Stop calling things you don't agree with memes.

>>5871970
>Instead we got something that was clearly for kids but was generally only bought by older fans because the marketing was shit.
This is my entire point. Just because something ends up oriented one way, does not mean it was designed to be that way from the start.

>>5871987
Yeah. Because it's the same fucking system. That's like saying,

>Bionicle in 2001 wasn't its own theme because it uses old specialized Technic parts! REEEEE!
or
>Ninjago isn't it's own theme because it uses fucking 2x4 Lego Bricks! REEEEEEEE!

You're a god damn idiot.

>>5871958

After staying up from 4am to 7:30am I finally got this fucker built.

He's big and sturdy, overall well designed and doesn't use a single extra piece IIRC.

Nope. He requires a single extra ball joint that's not provided in the seven sets.

>>5871946

Aren't Toa in general kinda cloney? Toa seem to usually be similar in build. I dunno if you can introduce much variation with "must look like a good guy humanoid" and parts count constraints, CCBS or not.

>>5871714
Kek

Not too hard since all the cool kids are getting them for Makooti.

Nice Jala, BTW

>>5871824
All the Inika Masks looked extremely off.

They looked great on their own, but just didn't fit the rest of the series.

tfw most of the sets to make makooti are sold out on LEGO shop now...

>>5871946
They were less-so clones than Toa of the past, for the most part. CCBS offers more potential for variation, if anything.

>>5872469
I think Lego's desire to not create so many molds restricts how unique CCBS can be, and it turn, amplifies how cloney the Toa end up. In theory, CCBS should be infinitely more customizable than what was used in G1 since all it would take is making a new mold and you could attach it anywhere you want. However, Lego sticks to using the same old shells in the same place, and the result is that you have painfully obvious clones. I appreciate that the Uniters attempted to be different, but look at the legs of the Uniters and especially the Masters. They're almost identical, even compared with Hero Factory. At least Lego added the Crystal armor shells to the Uniters to attempt to make them different.

>>5871714

Naw. It has nothing to do with which masks are chained. I just think it really throws his silhouette. It adds too much awkward bulk in his midsection and makes him feel less lean.

>>5872876
Let me tell how I've had done it.

Scrapped the crystal piece and used the mold to make a ccbs version of the av-matoran arm instead. Essentially an angled bone piece with addon ports and no extra balljoints and used that on the legs instead of the ugly technic mess that's filled with red axles.

For head I would had gone with more streamlined look that hides the jaw of the head underneath and made it so that the top of the mask is hollow enough so that you can snap the jaw by pushing the eyestalk but the mask doesn't pop off.

This whole configuration would use less parts so the remaining bits would had been used on fixing the other flaws of the sets.

I don't think they work of parts limit as much as they work on a mass limit, and I'm actually pretty fine with the crystal armor pieces as I like their look more than the stone armor add-ons from previous sets. I will say, though, that the beast masks really only look good on sets larger than the ones they're sold in, and due to the trans green on 2/3 of them, it's harder to build things with unique color schemes with them.

>>5873073
Put more links on it

>>5873166
Well there might not be enough plastic to fix the rest of the set but certainly that type of bone piece wouldn't use more plastic than the mess they already have.

Also I can't really see them using the crystal pieces on many system sets nor Star Wars constraction.

An angled bone for sure would had been used multiple times on more alien figs.

>>5873073
You might've used too few chain links. I think I recall one of those unofficial building guides leaving a link out and connecting the masks on too low as a result.

After 2005. I don't remember taking a disliking to it, though. It's like I just forgot about it. I started feeling nostalgic last year after learning about the reboot.

>>5873419
When will this "Core Hunter is good" meme end?

>>5873743
Never because your opinion is wrong.
Also, shoutout to Toxic Reapa.

>>5873771
He's so fucking normie though. Just the same old dull Hero Factory, cookie cutter bullshit. He looks alright, but his build is just boring as fuck. That's like 50% of the appeal of a set for me, and Core Hunter doesn't accomplish anything special. His looks aren't enough to make up for that either.

Yeah, his build is simple, but so was every other hf build. What makes core hunter so neat is that he's simple, and looks amazing

can someone post the MOC template of putting CCBS limbs on a Mata torso? I saw an anon do it for Tahu a few threads ago and it looked really good

>>5874217
You literally just use ball joints to connect the limbs

>>5874180
That color scheme is so easy mode, though. It's REALLY fucking hard to make something dressed in close to nothing but black and red look terrible.

You know, it may be just me, but I think it's one of the comfiest feelings to know that there's a place on the internet where my favourite toy of all times (Brutaka) still gets mentioned ten years later it came out.
Just wanted to share this.

>>5874269
Where the fuck are his leg pistons.

Did someone photoshop his pistons out?

WAKE UP SHEEPLE. It's a government conspiracy.

>>5874269
Shit. You just made me realize Brutaka is over 10 years old...

I'm gonna order one wave of g1 all at once off of bricklink. Which one should it be?

>>5874400
Either 2001 or 2003. If you don't want copy/paste villains, 2001.

Or you could roll an 8-sided die and go with that specific year. If it magically lands on an edge, you have to buy both '09 and '10.

>>5874409
He said wave, not year.

I need a Toa Metru Whenua Mini-CD for completion reasons, I'm willing to pay 100 dollars for one, anyone interested?

>>5874447
So 2001.

Jesus fucking Christ, BZP finally rolled out their shitty interview. Anyone wanna get to know the rag-tag group of idiots who killed this line upon arrival?

Any decent info come out of this?

>>5874500
Still listening to it. So far, no.

>>5874500
It's only 23 minutes but I'll report when I finish watching.

>>5874497
>>5874500
Nothing really, they mostly talk about the process for set design and stuff. A lot of "oh yeah we listen to criticism" and "It's a back and forth with the higher ups." One of the guys fiddles with Umarak and it looks kinda funny.

>>5874500
Nope, nothing particularly of interest. Basically just the same old shit we've heard before. They did mention how the core story team basically existed within the design team as well. Has me wondering if that's why this whole fucking thing failed. Had the story visionaries been more separated from the toy design aspect of the line, maybe it would have been fleshed out more organically.

Due to the lego general having regular challenges, I think it would be healthy for the bionicle general to also have its own challenges.

Allow me to introduce the Skull Spider challenge. Using peices from your collection, and all the creativity that you dare to let free, I challenge biog to create their own infected bionicle. A being consumed and controlled by the will of whomever holds the golden mask of the skull spiders. Whether it be a simple villager, a once docile rahi, or a long dead warrior, brought back from the grave by the new host that now inhabits it's body.

I highly urge you to do whatever you please for this challenge, with the only rule being that the model must include one skull spider mask.

Happy building, Biog. I wish you all luck if you choose to take part in this. For there will be a winner. And there will be a prize.

Don't even need a prize, yo. Just the challenge itself is enough.

Too many feels. Wishing we had movies like this again, it almost makes me miss the mistika Toa sets.

>>5874893
That narrator gave me goosebumps with his voice. What happened to this guy anyways? Why wasn't he in G2?

>>5874911
because G2 was a massive fuckup

Remember that interview BZP did? They FINALLY uploaded it.

Feels bad

>>5875033
The plot twist is that it ended before 3 years.

>>5874629
Would a Bonkles plastic deteriorate over time being exposed to water with little to no chlorine, such as tap water?

>>5875048
ABS is fairly durable plastic.

But then again 2007-plastic was not Lego's finest hour, so I don't really know.

>>5873030
on what moc is it based?
details?

Anyone have any beast modifications?

>>5874629
Wait, what's up with that squid launcher? A prototype?

it was also used in their profile animations
I can't find screens about them but I'm sure they used prototypes there, it's also on the main menu of the Barraki platformer.

Shouda couda wouda

>>5875031
Old news. Was posted way earlier.

>>5875043
I think the "plot twist" was supposed to be that the destiny of the Toa from start to finish was literally written in stone.

>>5875275
Oh it was? My bad.

>>5875276

>tfw it wasn't that G2 took place in a parallel universe after Tahu summoned G1 Toa with the mask of time to vanquish Makuta once and for all
>or that the G2 Toa are actually the G1 Toa in the time during their training before they were placed in canisters, which is why they looked much more mechanical in 2016 (2017 would've very closely resembled 01 Mata

>>5874497
these guys suck

I wish lego would release the CCBS bucket so I can make my own year 3 toa

>>5873641
I actually like this. Almost reminds me of the design from the original Bionicle Movies, (Mask of Light, and Legends of Metru Nui.)

So I got my Cyberhand Titan sized MoUP in the mail today. I went for the black flexible, and there is plenty to say about it.

I'm giving a review on this thing to try and help with anyone on the fence.

So when it comes to the material, first thing to note is that while it's rough to the touch, the graininess of the plastic isn't as bad as I thought it'd be. You can definitely feel it, and if your looking for it, it's there. But from a distance it just looks like smooth matte black. Not bad.

I also have to not that the edges are actually all rounded too, sans the ones bordering the mask's backside. Cyberhand really stepped up his game on this.

However, trying to fit it onto my pedestal was not happening. So I made a solution that'll ensure you're not scraping anything, and if you're getting it in metal, that it won't be permanently fixed to any of your Lego pieces. It's as simple as this build, and pinching the top in to let the mask slide on. Then just use your fingers to push the technic arms back out so they're flush with the mask and presto.

IMO this thing is worth the money. I'll be putting this copy on my Makuta and whenever I get to it, a gold steel one with my pedestal. If MoUP anon pulls through soon though, I will buy his in flexible plastic as well to do a comparison before I jump the gun for the steel one. And no, if you ask me the titan size is not too big. This is the MoUP we're talking about, man.

>>5875516
Isn't the gold steel option stupidly expensive though?

do you guys mod your sets or usually keep them just how they are?

>>5875519
I've got money to spend and I personally would rather a metal mask than a plastic, painted one. It'd just feel like more of a treasure I guess. -shrug- Not to mention I'm waning off toy collecting now that Bonkle is kill and CCBS doesn't even have an interesting substitute on the horizon.

>>5875523
Only if I really think it benefits the overall look, which happend to a lot of my G2 Toa sets.

>>5875523
I take em apart because lack of space.
