Wassup niggas
Can anyone shed some light on what's happening with Premium DNA?
I collect the Madballs figures and have all set 1 and am currently waiting on the new release which is meant to be this month.
But the fact I can't see anyone reviewing them and they aren't replying to my inquiries gives me cause for concern.
There has also been talk of them going under and there seems to be EWJ figures turning up on AliExpress apparently from disgruntled workers trying to recoup their wages.

fave Terminator toys? I really liked the Salvation line

what's /toy/'s pick for the best overall figure ever made, that everyone on this board should get? best aesthetics, paint, engineering, poseability?

Going to NYC next month; what stores should I check out?

Greetings! I'm Kaworu, the founder of no longer existing (because of trolls) group Bionicle Restoration Front.
Me and rest of the group were trying to ensure the support for every Bionicle project which can lead to the, well... full restoration of Bionicle series in any form which will allow us to demonstrate to LEGO that there's still audience willing to pay for new sets.
Of course, LEGO doesn't care 'bout smaller stuff, so MOCs on Insta doesn't do much.
LEGO Ideas on the other hand can be the most important tool in our hands. And just like we provided support to "Bionicle Legends" and "Mata Nui Rises", we still continue our job, but in smaller, less organized groups. Having two (actually now 3) Ideas projects rejected by the company made some of our members too lazy to just post a link to specific submission on fb groups once per month and click support button. Since Toa Mata head MOC, there wasn't too many MOCs to support, we were voting even for those really bad, but we weren't able to earn even 1k under any.
Now, after long period, when nobody was trying to submit anything new, it seems, there are 4 new builds which I'm gonna link here:

1. Atlantic Ghost Crab & Green Anole
https://ideas.lego.com/s/p:591c4bec323941cdb7c54393b9f3ecab

It's a Rahi-like crab made by Skybird, a very popular new Biotuber. His popularity can be helpful in promoting this one. Definitelly, my favourite.

2. The Beginning of the New Chronicle
https://ideas.lego.com/s/p:9a1e1f2d99e84a5090f3bc12e1e1e330

Rather expensive thing but it has probably the biggest chance for reaching 10k.

3. Ruins of Kini Nui
https://ideas.lego.com/s/p:c1714b248cd846ffb7210011af559da8

Crossover with Space series. Reminds the last Bionicle project which secured 10k.

4. Bionicle: Tahu, Toa of Fire
https://ideas.lego.com/s/p:ee9e8b1d588740c9806ab53dcb010d55

Another Tahu, but at last, one which doesn't use system bricks. I really want to get support for this one, to manifest that we want Technic sets.
