Why does Bionicle have their own general?

Lego has lots of continued and discontinued themes so out of the hundreds of individual properties why is Bionicle the one that is no longer discussed in /lg/?

>>6439658
because bonklefags are the undesirable caste of lego

>>6439658
Bonklefags hate System and Systemfags hate Bonkle.

>>6439658
bonkle and system are different enough.

If there were more than 1-2 occasional technicfags they'd get their own thread too.

None because a lot of my sets are still in their respective boxes with only a few medium sized used sets which are displayed.

This is the pain of being an early adult who lives in a house with pets and not alone. Just isn't feasible to setup my sets and have them clean with plenty of room for display. It wouldn't do justice unboxing them.

Put together the Scarif and Carbon Freezing Chamber sets over the last week.

Just as a set, I really like Scarif! It's immediately recognizable as a scene from Rogue One and while it's just a platform and a door, they look great! I also love getting another orange container for the hovertank and the Shoretrooper minifigs are awesome.

That being said, the amount time/parts it took to put together just this door and platform was pretty disproportionate to the end result. There's definitely a "that's it?" feeling once you finish. I wish they'd put parts towards making some kind of room after the doorway instead of all the parts that went into making the gimmicks.

A nice set and I'm very happy with it for what I paid ($20), but definitely a set to pick up on sale.

>>6439699
Would be awful nice if there was an updated OT TIE Fighter among those Han Solo movie sets.

>>6439843
Cool anon. Gonna ask,which one is better? Imperial hovertank or clone hovertank? Both are 24$ at my local store.

Carbon freezing party!

This set I straight up love, and unlike the Scarif set I felt very satisfied with the substance of the end result. I was a bit surprised at some of the number of large pre-formed pieces (such as the stairs), but that's mainly because I'd never seen those parts before. Some fun gimmicks and sweet minifigs, it's the bounty hunters' new hang out!

>>6439848
Can't say! I'm trying to keep my Lego Star Wars to Imperial era stuff, so I haven't picked up the clone hovertank (though it's sooo tempting, the minifigs alone look great and I've already planned what Clone Wars sets I'd buy next to go with it, haha). The clone hovertank seems a bit undersized though, while I feel the Imperial hovertank is just the right size relative to minifigs.

>>6439861

Haha, i have this all the time. But i just really like highly detailed and dense things. This moc is basically just a fancy small wall with vertical sliding door, but it took me a good two full days to get things working and uses a bajillion pieces for snotting and covering up all those snotting to smooth it out on all sides.

Might be me you're referring too. Been at a standstill for too long, honestly. At least I recently got a lot of actual bricks to put together and hopefully I'll get some results soon.

I really wanna build something that could work as hangar/mech bay on the inside but looks like a warehousefrom the outside. This way I have place I have something for starwars/ scifi stuff but doesn't clash with my city display. Any sets that would have good peices for this? battle of scariff?

That sounds like an alright place to start. Just plaster the outside in these https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=59349 and make a new roof, maybe. Maybe mock something up in LDD first?

>>6440002
No matter what, it'll be huge, so you're gonna need a large quantity of pieces. I wouldn't recommend the Scarif set much due to its price and small volume.

>>6440002
Not sure how big you want to go.
But for large amounts of just regular gray pieces and panels i'd suggest getting into bricklink.
Low prices per part, you can choose what you want without the stuff you don't need and very large quantities very easily.

>>6440001

I realize bricklink would be cheapest, but I just dunno what parts i'll need and I'm at a weird point where I'm definitely out of my dark ages and can't justify bricklink because it's not as fun as a full set? does that make sense?

>>6440033
Ah that's the other one i meant.
I remember recommending you these pieces:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3003px6#T=C

>>6440057
I see what you're getting at.
I'd recommend starting of with smaller sets and one medium or bigger structure then. You'll get a feel for what pieces are around.
In the meanwhile i'd suggest making a bricklink account just for the wantedlists. Whenever you see a part you might want to use for your hangar, look it up to learn the admittedly confusing website layout and add it to a wantedlist.
Maybe follow some reviews of sets coming out to see what parts are out there. Like Jangbricks, new elementary or whatever.
Again add whatever parts you might want to a wantedlist. This way if you at one point decide to use bricklink, it isn't such a huge ordeal to get into.

There aren't that much sets out there that quickly get you a large detailed hangar for cheap. Most playsets are more modestly sized and bump up price with figures, Modulars have loads of pieces for buildings but are more colourful and very very large.

>>6440057
Walmart has a bunch of sets on clearance now, so you could try buying a set or two to experiment with, then buying more once you have a better idea of what you want to build

The lore is just way too complicated for casuals, so it usually scares folks off. The lore is actually pretty good, though some minor stuff is better off ignored.
The comics are actually pretty good. As a comicfag, that's what got me into Bionicle.

Basically, Bionicle fans are a product of the time, and it's pretty obvious because most of us are around 20 in age.

I just realized that my earlier piece count estimate was based on the sets that were visible in the seller's pictures, but now that I've spent six hours or so disassembling sets, I'm realizing that it's a bit more than that. Adding up all the part counts of the instruction books (which all seem to have complete sets) gives a total of 6,727.

For perspective, this is what I've got disassembled so far, and it's about 8 inches deep.

How do you guys sort your parts? I'm in the process of sorting mine out into some parts boxes I got from Home Depot, but it's really really tedious.

>>6440950
>Bring friends.
>Sort when you are building.

HOW you sort the pieces is all about you - it depends how you build.

>>6440593
Star Wnrs

>>6440950
I sort by part type and function, then color.

For example i have boxes of decorative things, building stuff, vehicle stuff etc. In those there are ziplockbags of like tires, car bases, wings, mudguards whatever.

Simpler things like slopes live like that too, but seperated into colorbags instead, and printed stuff have another bag. If my box gets full, I'll seperate them to inverse and normal slopes in the same way (I removed wedge like stuff recently for example).

>>6441007
Also, don't stack extensively to save space (limited use is ok). Once you go stack, you can never go back.

Stacks obscure each other when you put them in a box, so you still can't immediately find what you look for. Also when you remove a stack from a tightly packed box, you end up rearranging entire thing again, losing even more time. It only saves a bit of space, and nothing else reall. Bad idea.

>>6440180
Like, that represent best value for money for your own collection?

Or that represent actual long term appreciation potential?

Star Wars UCS
Modular buildings
Trains from the "creator" line not the crappy city sets
Large sets that aren't remade every few years, think Medieval Market Village, not the current police station.

MISB is best. It does require space to store, but if you want to maximise return, buy those big price tag sets on sale, and wait.

I've at least doubled my outlay on modulars, the monster hunters haunted mansion etc, but also remember to have fun. Maersk diesel train, Imperial flagship, MMV, are all worth substantially more now, but I'd never part with them. I only hold and sell to finance further Lego. One day I'll have that Emerald Night.

How long will the Classic Batman Batcave going to be available for? Its been on retiring soon for about a month now. I'm not sure if i wanna wait for a bit or buy right now.

>>6441219
Buy it now if you want to guarantee you'll get it and you can afford it. How is this hard?

>>6441242
I have limited money on lego and I dont want to blow off so much. Pay day is next week and theres some discounts on lego sets this week. Im stuck if i should wait next week to get the batcave or get it now.

So here is my Sushibar/Karaoke
It's called Karaika ( Ika is a squid). It's run by two Muziki sisters - Older is a Sushimitress while her sister deals with sweet tunes.
Their names? Sushee i Sashee. SImple.

It's 100% better than Rebels,a great cartoon,great characters and the animation aged pretty good.

Man,I miss all the funny moments,flirts and sexual tension,on screen deaths.
I hope we get more TCW sets.

>>6441318
how can you possibly be a fan of Ninjago sets and yet not think a single one of the movie sets is good? I'm probably asking too much here but can you articulate why you think the other sets are good and these aren't?

>>6441323
>What year do you think was the best for SW?
1998 because they didn't exist back then

>>6441349
You know what is my favorite year of Lego? 2015,2016,2017 because there are no more original space themes! Star Wars saved this company!
2019-20 years since Lego Star Wars exists.

>>6441356
I wouldn't really care if the sets weren't so overpriced. I don't have a problem with themes that don't interest me because sets can make good parts packs.

But not only is Star Wars uninteresting to me, it's too expensive.

>>6441318

>>6441874
It's a one-off by the sounds of it

No, but consider the D2C temple set and the overall popularity of Ninjago, as long as it stays popular I think it's safe to say we may get more sets of this size every couple years

>>6442051
Yeah, I'm torn on epaulettes or scarf myself. Probably build another pilot and use the scarf there.

>>6442010
Controversial opinion: sorting by color really isn't that bad for small collections. Just sort by type on top of that, starting with whatever pieces you use most often. You'll be naturally sorting anyway whenever you build.

>>6441998
Oh yeah we got those at the Ninjago movie panel as SDCC. I completely forgot about that.

>>6442010
>>6442023
>>6442041
never really understood the idea that sorting by color is terrible, but it may be to do with the way I moc. I start with a colourscheme in mind, so I know I can only work with the pieces I have in Dark Red and Lime, for example

>>6442044
sheeeeit that does look good. Now I need another Jay.

>>6442071
>>6442010
seconding this
If you have very little of a certain colour, but too much to remember all the pieces you have in that colour. Keeping them together is easier for projects where want to use as much of them as you can.

By piece is definately the easiest to find stuff, being sure you don't have something if it isn't in the tray it's supposed to be. But combining systems that work best for you and your collection is fine.

>>6442097
thirding this I guess

I've got a few colors separated out, like purple and sand blue.

just a week ago I bought nearly 30 pounds of lego in bulk. I'm still not quite done sorting everything yet, but there's already been plenty of weird stuff popping up, like missing pieces and minifigs where they probably shouldn't be missing.

for instance in pic related, there is a batman and batgirl torso, but no cowl for either, wildstyle's pants but not the rest of wildstyle. a skeleton with no arms but an extra 3 legs, a torsoless patrick, a headless minecraft zombie

I'm pretty sure this is fairly common, despite this being my first time buying this much lego

>>6443170
Obviously owned by children, I guess you'll have to expecta degree of breakage and lost pieces.

Can you put these bulk packs through a dishwasher first?

>>6443170
People often buy, take parts they need, mix with what they dont need and sell it away.

>>6443199

you're right, it was once owned by kids who are brothers and sisters, so I've got some friends and elves sets mixed in it

Don't worry, before he dies he'll say something along the lines of:
"Well Rey, it was a nice run but in the end you're a way better buddy than Han Solo. You're just so interesting and talented."

I would like a minifig Nick and Allegra, they look so much better now.

TLG prices sets based on weight, not part count.

If the set uses lots of small pieces, instead of fewer big ones, it will cost less.

So I built this entirely from scratch (no source material or sketches, just building as I go), and I really like how the design of it came out.
I was thinking about rebuilding it but making it about 2.5x bigger, and adding in more features (like two gunner-style sliding doors, and making the side wings able to move upwards so it can land) and fixing some of the stuff that I'm not happy with. Would it be worth it?

(2/2)
My main focus is definitely making the side wings go upwards when landing, and making enough room for a co-pilot since there are currently 2 (soon to be 4) crew members.

>>6444223

I didn't know we had star wars concept artists posting here

Holy crap. That is a fantastic build to do from scratch. Color me impressed, anon.

Just remember, when you double the scale, you increase the volume by 8. It might become an expensive endeavor VERY quickly.

Also, to distill the salt out of what >>6444236 said, it could use a bit more colored accents. It's a bit bland right now.

>>6444236
I definitely drew inspiration from Star Wars.
>>6444243
Thanks, anon. Yeah, doubling may be a bit much, but I'll see where I go. I'm pretty much stuck with only using pieces I have, which all come from a bucket of mixed up, completely unorganized lego.
I'm definitely gonna add color if I rebuild it.

>>6444223
I really like this. It looks like a decent little ship as it is, not sure about making a bigger one.

I might just redesign the wings so that they can go up so the ship can actually land.

I suppose it's probably not a hint, but it's a Lego space set that they could potentially try to reboot.

Where did you even get that Nora.

>>6444359
Looks like the Elsa Schneider minifig from the Indiana Jones sets, with a different head. Not sure where that head is from.

>>6444373

The head's from that one really rare Harry Potter set where Hermione and Ron have sleepin' faces I think.

the boat is actually from 7018, which came with the bulk purchase. looking at the set inventory on BL it doesn't come with the bigfig, but everything in that pic did come from the bulk bag. As usual, the sail for the viking longship is conspiciously missing

I'm a /toy/ casual but I was a lego fanatic when I was younger. My favorite thing to do was always building moving parts like hidden trap doors, odd contraptions, etc. into my sets. One example I vividly remember is from set 6755 (pic related) where the villain would shove a 1x2 flat tile dynamite into a hole in the jail cell which had an exposed spring, causing the spring to pop up and the jail wall to be blown open. You guys have any cool things like that, either from official instructions or things you came up with yourself?

>>6444288
>>6444233
>>6444223
Gorgeous/10.

Love the design, totally unique, fits your minifigs but looks appropriate to the fig size at the same time. Well done anon!

>>6444588
Aye i had that set as a kid. Loved that as well.

Hidden trapdoors and blowup/destruction parts are now at an all time high man. Many of the latest city police sets had exploding jailcells, hidden latches with crowbars, staches of hidden loot. Superhero sets have lots of breaking out walls, bending cars and ripping out atms machines. The latest city jungle sets have lots of heavy trucks ripping artifacts out of ancient ruins with chains and shit.

Can't think of that many specific sets, but these are relatively recent ones.

nice dude! I may want to bricklink the missing pieces for the viking longship so I can finally have the set I've wanted since it came out

>>6444373
>>6444427
Welp
that sounds expensive

>>6444222
That's not even true. TLG's marketing department determines shelf space at an average retailer, they provide piece budgets to the set designers with designs and ideas from the artists who think up the more general ideas. There's back and forth between the several parties and iterations of the sets until they've managed to produce a number of sets they can mass manufacture.

Price per piece and price per weight is a fiction created by AFOLs so that they can try to understand pricing. The thing is, pricing has to do with TLG trying to make its profit goals and not to do with how many chunks of plastic are in the box.

>>6444848
Look up industrial design, you fool.

>>6444588
I built a wizard tower that, when a few pins were removed, would collapse in on itself. It also has a trapdoor that leads into the sewers, because why not?

>>6444848
I have seen an interview where the set designer was talking about being told the size of the box in advance.
Whenever you wonder why certain sets seem to be inflated or why they're so expensive, it's because a designer is told "we need an x set in this size a box, it will cost $y and needs to have under $z in parts.
Later AFOLs will marvel at why a set only cost $30. It's because they needed a $30 set at that box size and that's what fit the bill.

>>6444848
>piece budgets
>>6444875
>$z in parts

But that value is determined by a combination of the amount of plastic used, the cost to create new molds, and where the factories that produce those specific pieces are located.

Why does the Waiter figure from Series 9 cost so much (around $20) these days?
I want to get him for the Parisian Restaurant, also any figure/decor ideas for that set?

Are there any operator minifigs out now? Something akin to the dino tracker torsos?

>>6444971
Check out the Shark Army figs

Everyone wants it for the exclusive parts (torso and wine bottle).

Same with the Bee Girl.

Well we haven't really seen much of the Knights of Ren and it looks like the Praetorian Guards are going to be the more prominent "elites" so maby we'll get Chewie going ape shit and actually ripping arms out of sockets, instead of just threatening it.

Twin Peaks is a pretty fun series, just note that there's a big drop in quality right after episode 9 of season 2 for like 7 episodes.
Also the new series is way different from the original 2 seasons, still great though.

That's like saying the value of a pair of shoes are based on the manufacturing costs.
It's a factor in determining that value, and an important one (sets the bottom limit for profits), but only one factor.
TLG charges what they think people will pay. They think people will pay $30 for the Water Strider, so that's why they charge $30. Price per individual part only factors into the very least amount they need to charge while still making a profit.

>>6445418
Well, yeah we won't see limbs being torn from bodies, but I'll guess during this rumored attack of the Ren, we'll at least get Chewie raging like a mother fucker on the Knights, even if it is just him throwing them around and backhanding them off a cliff or something.

>>6445120
>Why do adult fans collect the "friends" theme.
Because when you want a bunch of transparent, white, and pastel pieces and you get the chance to buy 7,000 of them for $75 you suddenly have a Friends collection.
