Thanks man, that was fun.

Future of constraction anyone?
Ideas? Reboots? Something new?
What would you like to see?

>>6167024
CCBS should stay. G2 and the Star Wars builds have it pretty good in terms of the CCBS-to-Technic ratio.

I just think we need a new theme to do what Hero Factory was doing and experiment further

>>6167024
CCBS needs a revamp, shit takes up too much space.

A smaller system catered custom limb building is better.

>>6167012
>>6167016
>8 kills
Metru Nui was hell

>>6167024
I want them to expand on the idea they started with the Nexo battle suits. A Mixel joint system theme of robots duking it out would be cool. Cheap too.

>>6167024
CCBS CREATOR SETS

>>6167024
Ideally:
>Hero Factory returns, and tries to do what it was originally going to be like.
>Exo-Force reboot in the vein of Invasion from Below.
>Generally, anything that gives Lego an in-house CCBS theme works.

Funny, I was thinking of doing another Hunger Games soon, myself.

I guess I don't have to.

>>6167024
The future? I honestly can't tell at this point.
I have a few ideas but I'm still working on them, whatever comes next I just hope it's something new and not a reboot.
I'd like to see CCBS evolve in the future. I think Lego has the right basic idea, but the system needs to both develop its strengths while eliminating it's weaknesses.

A lot has been said about the good of CCBS. Its balljoint based construction allows for tons of flexibility. It's a lot easier to get the right armor angles compared to the old system, and the modularity is crazy enough for you to easily add extra limbs or anything else imaginable. The system stays true enough to its mission that the parts are timeless and extremely versatile. This is even more impressive when recolors come into play. Consider the following; if just ONE shell of a rare color was made, you could use it all over a MOC with no trouble.

And of course there are its problems. Detail is a big issue. The addons are a half-solution that works, but it makes bulking up a necessity. There is currently no way to attach detail directly to the frame. In addition to detail, CCBS has by large used the same shapes since its inception. We need some more shell shapes as well as detailed shells. Part versatility is a double-edged sword that gives us pieces that can be used again and again at the cost of having less variety (See; Hand, Feet, Bones).

(1/2)

175KB, 800x1370px

>>6167135
Cost may not be inherently the system’s fault, but is a product of the fucked up size scale Lego keeps doing. When you make the main sets too large, everything falls apart. It becomes a challenge to make the enemies large enough to be imposing to the heroes or vehicles without destroying the budget. CCBS had a pretty good scale up until Bio G2.
Lastly there's something I don't often hear much talk about. CCBS is a system that relies on its frame and connections, and both are in dire need of an upgrade. The bones are bland, boring, limit the shell placement (height), and don't offer any connection points to axles, addons, etc. There aren't even any versions where the pin holes face parallel to the socket, or any that have more than two ball connections. For some cases you could use a custom limb, but some things like having a ball directly below the socket of long bone are impossible to achieve. The shells and addons are guilty of a lack of connection points too. It would be much better if Lego released CCBS parts that you could attach multiple shells to, or pieces that allow system or mixel compatibility.

The frame is perhaps the most important thing in a build and it annoys me to no end that most set frames are ugly, simple, and limited. By just diversifying the way the frame is built you could change the entire look of the figure. Heck, if you split the way the torso is built into two main pieces instead of one you could even get torso articulation. The new Star Wars torso is already allows some custom frames, so use that shit.


TD;LR
-Keep CCBS
-Use its strengths: Flexibility, Versatility, and Modularity.
-Add more Detail, Connection points, and Variety to the Bones, Shells, and Addons.
-Have the scale small enough so that making larger sets won’t be such a problem.
-Make the frames more interesting and functional.

Pic related; Is it really too much to ask for bones that actually have detail and look good?

Wrong frame pic.

>>6167137
Frame weaknesses were on the way to being eliminated with 2016, as the Toa and Umarak had technic construction make up their upper torso as opposed to a CCBS frame.

I maintain that CCBS doesn't need more development of the frames, that's when you build a technic bone and attach it instead.

>>6167024
Love to see them take a stab at Mechs again. Seem like the perfect hybridization of traditional Lego with CCBS.

>>6167153
>Frame weaknesses were on the way to being eliminated with 2016, as the Toa and Umarak had technic construction make up their upper torso as opposed to a CCBS frame.

>I maintain that CCBS doesn't need more development of the frames, that's when you build a technic bone and attach it instead.

I do appreciate the way the Uniters did their torso frame, even if the neck joint somewhat limited it.

Custom limbs are an attractive solution but I feel they are an incomplete one. While they open the the door to total creative freedom, they don't inherently fix the detail, sometimes cause stability issues, inflate the parts count (and cost), and there are some structures custom limbs can't achieve on such a small scale.

Custom limbs are something I like to see but I don't think it could be a long term solution.

>>6167024
I just posted this in the last thread in response to someone else, but I'll repost it here because it's it's kinda relavent to what you're asking.

>>6166650
They should integrate Bionicle/ccbs/Technic into Dimensions.

My idea for it would be that they add a Bionicle level, and you could either play as a Bionicle character, or you go there as a minifig from some other theme, and gain a ccbs power up. They could also do ccbs levels for other themes like Star Wars, that feature massive Technic vehicles and buildings.

>>6167573
Dimensions is dying, and CCBS is almost dead. There's pretty much negative percent chance that will happen.

>>6167634
>CCBS is almost dead
Thanks to Star Wars, that's the opposite of true.

>>6168252
Wrong. CCBS will not get a new IP until early 2019. Lego is taking their time to develop a line of organic looking robots who are themed after their unique abalities and powers rather than different elements. I know this because I invented the CCBS.

I remember around christmas 2014 I went to my local Lego Store to ask if they already had the new Bionicle sets and on my way in I saw that set. I thought it looked pretty cool and was considering picking it up. When I asked about the Bionicle sets the lady at the store said "Yeah we have them here and I already had a good look at them, but I can't sell them to you."
So I thought "Oh well at least I can get that Chima CCBS set" as I saw someone else take the last one they had in stock.

> Kopaka sword in medium orange (Gukko's beak), a rare shade that was never used in constraction ever again and was discontinued in 2012
> All the bi-color parts from 2006-2008, especially the shit from some of the Barraki, which used obscure colors and combinations that were never used in Bionicle again
> Zaktan's sand green joints (again, obscure color for constraction, only a Ben 10 set used it after that)
> less crazy, but dark bley CCBS hands (mostly for the type of set they're exclusive to, a freaking Modular Building)

Introducing awards for the Dark Hunter Contest!

The top three choices will win some very special unique masks. These masks are the "Bubble casts", made with the transparent resin that swelled up my face horrifically that one time. They are my first real successes in casting and I owe it to /biog/ for being the place that got me interested in starting to learn how to mold and cast parts.

Fun fact: the purple mask of water is dyed with oil paint. It's the only color additive that gives me those speckled patterns.

Winners will be expected to provide address information, of course. You'll be able to contact us securely in Discord (or from discord, to email if you prefer) for security.

This was no doubt a cool scene many fans like to remember. I wonder about its purpose in the plot, though. I always thought that a direct confrontation with the main villain (in which he is actually overpowered, too!) felt too early. Did they put that scene there because they didn't know if Bionicle would be successful enough to continue after the first year?

>>6172143
Most likely.

But you have to keep in mind that original run was supposed to end in 2003, which was also topped with Makuta defeated, however not in the way they planned.

It could just be the MNOLG devs wanting a satisfying ending to it. It took like a year for the thing to come out fully

Didn't Greg say in some interview or wherever that Lego also planned to end it in 2001 at first?

But aside from that, most likely the Makuta scene only made it into MNOG because it was supposed to be the ending to the PC game.

>>6172356
i thought there was a few pages of it that were put up on the lego website years ago

must be mistaken then.

>>6172502
You know, I really wish some of that was made public. I realize it would be pointless for Lego, maybe even against their rules, and I don't know whether they still have the notes.

But Faber, Swinnerton, Greg and Templar have shared a whole lot of intriguing background info, and there was some in the style guide too, so finding out what kind of other crazy shit they had in mind for the line would be pretty neat. Greg has said that the early lore in particular was really weird.

>>6172558
Given the old AFTERMAN concepts I'm imagining that early Bionicle was some sort of strange posthuman narrative

Remember that the theme of the heroes being a medicine to fight a cancer in a giant body system is still heavily present

You definitely have much to improve, but I can see potential in this design for a great beast-looking thing. Keep on building, anon! I'm sure you can improve leaps and bounds.

Someone pretends on Lego general that lego plans to pck the pacific rim license.
"Good news for you.
My insider source told me that Lego plans to pick the Pacific Rim license for CCBS sets. They are still planning,it could be possible that Mattel would get the license for Mega Construx like they did years ago for Despicable Me.But Lego has big chances because of their WB partnership.We have just to wait and hope for the best."

It would be cool to get Pacific Rim CCBS sets but let's face it,HF IfB was our PR.
Pacific Rim 2 Uprising comes in 2018,february.

I try to say this with the least possible offence, but are you an actual child?

While you don't seem to have much to work with, do you genuinely look at that MOC and think "yup, this is something that an adult would make, no improvements needed before I post this"?

I understand that not everyone's a wiz, and that some people are beginners, but you've got to look at what you're making with some sense of reflexivity, bro

>>6176023
Needs quite alot more work my friend.

Do you happen to not have alot of pieces to moc with?

I actually posted it as is hoping for some tips, I'm fully aware it's not the best thing ever, but I do want to improve. Only way to do so is listen to criticism and advice.

So, fill in gaps, more armor, work on the neck. I might see about getting a bin of spare parts or something so I have more parts to work with. Anything else?

Im very new to bionicle thread. Been in lego thread all the time.
But i decided to go full bionicle after obtaning this guy i wanted for so long.
PS:
Also im a slowpoke and just found that...well...seems like Bionicle was cancelled again.
PPS:
Also i ordered Umarak the Hunter and waiting it to upgrade Sir Fangar.
I really heate seeing Bionicle closing just when i finally decided to fully enjoy this whole theme.

Looks like all i will be doing is upgrading/modding Sir Fangar with sets i have.
PPPS:
I already got Chima Vulture and 2 sets of Skull scorpions i got for parts (they have those super neat skeletal boney limbs/other bionicle parts i really want)

Absolutely.
It went for like three times as much initially and has some unique parts to it.
Hell, IIRC the armor add-ons on his shoulders alone already go for like 30 bucks a piece on Bricklink ever since the instructions of that exclusive Bat Pod surfaced that had six of them on it.

Ive been looking for him for months but no results on Ebay or Bricklink (ebay has one lot from China with no photos)

Was he an exclusive? Or sold in limited number? Why there is literally nothing of him?

I got him from one parent that was getting rid of some bionicle stuff but still...if i wouldnt find him it could be a mysterious disaster to me.
Why is he so rare?

I'm dead serious, outside of Bionicle, Lego is trash, it's good for kids to play with, but for collectors it's terrible. The minifigures are shit in comparison to Mega Bloks.

>>6180147
I sure love the building toys that have highly specialized pieces that can't be used for anything outside the set it came from.

And I honestly can't name single original Mega IP.

Ah, I'm not really into just playing building blocks, well, other than bonkle, I sculpt, or draw, or 3D model when I want to create something, I like Mega Bloks models and detailed minifigures.

>And I honestly can't name single original Mega IP.
Pyrates, Dragons... But honestly they're better at licensed IPs like Halo.
I can't name one good original Lego IP.

I'm obviously talking about the building blocks, and other than Bionicle, hell, Bionicle 2015 was even awful.
I think you just can't come up with a valid argument

Wow.
If Greg had it in his head that the Great Beings were actually Glatorians i would have preferred that their species had been kept a mystery.

>>6180166
It feels like you don't want to admit you collect toys.

The thing I like about Lego is that once all is said and done, it still looks like a Lego-set, and not just a model kit, like most of MB

>>6180181
>>6180181
>It feels like you don't want to admit you collect toys.
No, I'm fine with that, lego is just toys for playing with though, you can't set up cool intricate battle scenes with
Lego Star Wars as opposed to Mega Bloks Halo without it just looking like toys standing around; it's not visually appealing.

>>6180181
MB sets just look like somebody painted over a Lego set in gritty colors and then threw in some mini GI Joes in to make it "kewl". I honestly don't see how MB is any less for kids when all their liscenced sets are subpar action games that edgy teens play all night after coming home from school. The MB figures are impressive, and I guess it is totally subjective whether you prefer the hyper detailed figures or the minimalist approach Lego minifigures use, but don't sit here and act like you're more mature than everyone here when your collection most likely consists of Call of Duty, Halo, Assassin's Creed, and WoW.


Oh, and btw

Already thrice the good original IPs you provided for MB. And I grew up and loved Dragons, so I know what I'm saying. People will look at your collection as they would mine and see the same shit. Plastic toys on a shelf. And they'll think the same thing. "You collect toys? What a fag." Go back to the pbbg and fuck off if you're just going to have nothing but a pissing contest with people, m8.

On retrospective, these look evil as fuck. I guess I'll reuse them on villains.

>>6180271
They're cool parts on their own, shame the Hordika were so crappy.

>>6180278
On an unrelated note it'd be cool if the people working on the Legend of the Toa mod for Skyrim used Hordika as the werewolf transformation.

>>6180278
>shame the Hordika were so crappy.
Looking back, 2005 was probably the weakest year of G1, excluding maybe Stars.

Gear functions were being phased out in favor of shooters, all but one set had Rhotuka launcher, Visorak were literally one huge piece each, Hordika were lackluster and didn't even look all that beast like except the masks, playsets were introduced AND the story was completely pointless. We knew the Hordika would succeed, we knew Vakama wouldn't stay evil, we knew how it all would end.

Only saving grace are maybe the titans, and even then Keetongu was really weak. Then even the big flagship combiner set, Voporak sucked too.

Okay, I can give Time Trap some credit, but overall 2005 sucked

>>6180332
I was so excited for the Visorak because they looked like they had nice designs. I had no idea they were just a set of legs with a flopping shell of plastic draped over them. I should really try to make something resembling my initial expectations of the visorak.

>>6180332
>Hordika were lackluster and didn't even look all that beast like except the masks,
It's pretty funny that they then aced the "mutated to look like Rahi"-thing few years later with Barraki.

>>6180136
Lego has less poops, better organized color pallets and uniform, glossy contruction bricks.
I have a few recent MB sets from grabbing them for the mini figures (something that I LOVE Mega Bloks for) and once I've had my fun with the intended build for the set, I usually just toss what's left of the building bricks into their own tub. I've occasionally tried to go back and make some builds with those parts, since it seems like a waste to just bury them, but the strange swirling plastic patters, random tints of similar colors and countless large pieces that really just represent one thing makes it really hard to do any creative building with Mega Bloks alone.
The funny thing is, despite it being some sort of cardinal sin according to many Lego builders, using occasional bricks and small interesting pieces to supplement Lego builds is probably the most effective way to use Mega Bloks creatively.

>>6180278

Yeah. I'm doing a part selection to add some stuff to my Bricklink store which I'll open soon. And I can say that there are a lot of cool parts that were trapped inside shitty sets.
Some of them were used once or twice, which is likewise quite tragic. Remember pic here >>6168531 for example? Those never got a recolor and they're stuck in that overly specific color combination. I would've loved them in silver or gunmetal.

Even though Bionicle's revival was cut tragically short, it has given me a huge motivation to pick the cooler parts and find a way to reuse them. I know there's a lot of untapped potential there.

>>6180332
>>6180345
>>6180351
I agree with all these, the titans and the Hagah were the only redeeming quality of that line. Well, and the golden Kraahkan was nice, but I didn't get that playset.

Both story and set-wise, 2005 was a bunch of decent ideas wasted on shitty execution. I liked the wrecked city setting, but the Hordika transformation was pointless bullshit and done real badly, the focus on animals was hardly an afterthought, and what the fuck was even up with Vakama's turn?

Bionicle almost lost me at that point too, because that was the first time I didn't find collecting the canister sets fun, and I had no clue about the details of the story until much later.

>>6180401
>my Bricklink store which I'll open soon
People very rarely buy G1 parts and when they do, you won't be getting rich with them. Just a heads up.

I'm also BL seller, but I don't have any G1 parts, outside of few Kanohi, and a handful of CCBS. Constraction just isn't what moves there

>>6180332
>Weakest year of G1
>not the Night of Glass Joints

2007 sucked and no amount of Jaller's pet crab or Maxilos waist articulation will save it

>>6180411
2007 was the year we finally got non-clone sets, the Matoran build was substantial for the first time since 2003, and the story was satisfying.

Now, I agree on the joints being crap, but I still rank it higher than 2005.

>>6180409

Eh, not looking to get a huge revenue. Just want to get rid of my old stuff that just takes up space and make some money in the process. I have inventoried my extra CCBS so far because making an inventory of G1 parts would be a nightmare so not doing that for now. I have those and some masks I want to add, including a few rare ones.

>>6180401
>>6180409
Kanohi are where you make any real money, any of the more collectible shit, Sealed or used but near mint sets are worth good shit too. Post your store sometime and I'll check it out.

>>6180418
I've posted this couple of times before this too.

Just a heads up if you plan on ordering. I won't be back home before Thursday, so it won't be packed before that.

I'll throw in a small discount too, if you say you're from /biog/, because I'm nice that way

>>6180418

Yeah, that's why I'm adding the masks to the inventories even it's a bit of an hassle to do so. That's what people are gonna get after all. I'm opening it once I finish the masks inventory. Bioniworld is the working store name for now. I-I don't have good ideas.

I'm not >>6180424 btw

>>6178643
Eh I'm looking for a more streamlined head, I am debating making one from scratch. The hard bit for heads is they need to be a certain size so you need to start small and plan ahead (haha) for the design if doing it the hard way.

>>6178656
I saw him at a discount shop for about $13 not to long ago... did not know he was that hard to find. Wonder if its still there, ill head over and check later today.

Nah. It's either 09 or 05. As has been said, the bulk of 05 sets were pretty shoddy sans exclusives and titans. I personally thought the playsets were cool though.

09 on the other hand, while the vehicles were boss, also suffered from the shitty joints implemented in 08. 07 had shitty lime but I don't own a single Glatorian joint that isn't busted.

At least in defense of 07 and 08 the villains were cool, the vehicles in 08 are still imo the best ones to date, and the Toa, both Mahri and Nuva, were a hell of a lot more interesting characters than all the 09 guys, who didn't see much development in their 1 year lifespan. And overall, the story for 07 and 08 were ten times that of 09. So even with the shattering joints, 08 still bests 09.

>tldr; 05 had the better materials than 08 but was a shittier year with the set designs and story. 08 Had the same issues as 09 but it had a better story and 05 imo was better than 09 both for being sturdier and idk, I just hated the half-assed reboot with the same Toa builds for non Toa characters.
