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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Followed G2 as was thoroughly disappointed, but didn't give up until it was really cancelled.
Now Bionicle is really over, and it feels sad.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Every Pridak-manual (and back of his canister too) had him with red eyes.

Carapar was also called Karapar in manual and some other promotional material too.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

That was never touched upon again was it? Maybe that line was just referring to the visions they'd seen of him through their masks? In the second GN it seems clear to me that Ekimu didn't know of the Toa very well before donning the Mask of Time and seeing them in his own visions. Beyond having observed their destiny on the wall at the Capital, at least.

I know Greg re-conned the Keetongu mistake into the canon, but still. It would have been so easy just to throw Voporak or a Piraka or some shit on the cover and like... Nidhiki on the back.

Yes. Shapeways only prints Strong & Flexible in white, then dyes it whatever other color it comes in. Black Acrylic however is printed that way, I believe.

Sorry for replying late.

Anyways, that probably wouldn't have worked. The toys and the story need to be at least somewhat connected so people won't get confused when they see unrelated characters on the shelves. But I do agree that the story doesn't need to be hindered by toy designs and vice-versa.

No, I'm talking about the approach. The visionaries behind the core idea of G1 had only loose ties to the toy manufacturing process. Furthermore, there was a philosophy in the early years where they went about design process as if they were marketing a toy line for a hit, already existing IP. They were making the toys FOR the story instead of the other way around.

I think the only thing the Official Guide has that Makuta's doesn't is a brief selection tree-speak translations. Unless that's SUPER important to you, I say toss it. It's not like tree-speak is that hard to decipher anyway.

Not him, but the staff doesn't actually attach. I just perfectly rests between one of the axe blades on his back, the gear, and his collar. It even almost sort of locks in to place when nestled back there, but it doesn't actually attach to anything though. I don't know if it's intentional, but it's kind of genius.

If you have him built just experiment with it having that knowledge in mind. You'll figure it out. Sorry, I can't take a picture myself right now.

it's a fucking mess.

the uniter bit is connected to the previously unused neck joint from the body frame, which uses two rubber connectors to hold the pauldrons in place, while litting them bend slightly upwards to fit around the large tire shoulders. I circled those parts in red to just to help.

the blue circled socket, and everything connected to it isn't actually connected to anything on the model. It actually just nicely sits in there and is secured when you put the chestplate on. It helps a ton to remove gappyness.

the shoulders aren't anything special. just ball bits and a longer axle to connect into the gearbox. it all holds together nicely, and the arms can be easily removed if I want to edit things.

I tried putting this together and I'm worried about the vorox armor. The rounded shoulder pieces fit fine but the vorox armor bends forward when its put in place

does that kind of thing fuck up pieces?

If it bends, eventually the piece would stay bent like that or break depending on the stress put on it.

So, I've been thinking real hard about this for the last few months, even before G2 ended.

I've been playing through MNOG lately, and I've been thinking one of two things: an online game equivalent for Voyage Nui (not what we ended up getting), or an Okoto Online Game (which seems to be a better idea).

What would you guys think if this EVER became a plausible ides, particularly the Okoto Online Game? MNOG was such a crucial part of a lot of fans' interest in Bionicle to begin with, and I can still see some appeal to exploring a vast Island in much the same way. Sadly, I have zero experience in programming such an endeavour.

Just a pipe dream, but if a team of people were interested, with a bit of funding and some more planning, who would want a MNOG equivalent for another part of Bionicle's history?

The Storyline would be so simple, too. You don't have to be on a major island: take part of the Southern Continent because of the diversity of elements beyond the main six.

You get to choose your element and appearance as a Matoran. In the first quest you receive a Toa stone and transform.

Everybody starts the game with a Huna because it's a simple, low level mask power. All the other masks are collectable throughout the game either from enemies or specific quest rewards.

The main story centers around a conflict between the Order of Mata Nui, Brotherhood of Makuta, and the Dark Hunters. You can choose which faction to align yourself with and each of them give you different bonuses (OoMN gives you better elemental abilities/spirituality, BoM gives you Hagah armor and Forok/Rahkshi sidekicks, the DH give you an overall health and strength bonus, but you have to complete bounties to maintain it (maybe under threat of mutation).

Damn it would be so fun.

also they should have just said fuck it to alternate masks and just released mask packs with never before released masks for MOCS

The only Bionicle sets I modified were the Bohrok-va to remove the Krana tray and I removed the gear function from Sidorak's left shoulder and made it identical to his right shoulder so it didn't swing around anymore. I also gave Nuparu the correct arm in the Boxor so that he matched the other Tohunga. Most modifications I do are to System sets which usually involves removing spring loaded and stud shooters.

If I had experience in making an action RPG, this wouldn't be a bad idea. And if I had an experienced and dedicated team to back me up, it could be done.

>>5879042
An MMO wouldn't be a good idea at all realistically. Servers and balancing and what not would be a game developer's nightmare.

So basically, same kind of thing MNOG was, but with G2's setting. I was thinking of something in the same style as the original flash games and animation, but with a dash of the G2 animations. I haven't quite thought it through, but the animations did start out with a very nice style, just poor animation.

For the story, I was thinking of starting shortly before the Toa defeat LoSS or something, and kind of doing the same thing MNOG's plot did, and follow the villagers and elders. I also want to do a little bit after JtO, follow Ekimu a bit. I'm probably going to use Bingzak as the player character, but I feel like that's too cliché.

Again, this is still all in early planning, and no real expertise in programming or art. I can get at least one other guy to help me if I pay him, but I'll need an artist for sure.

wtf are you even on about? Have YOU played DOOM? You can't aim aim up or down (unless you're playing a modern port), there's no aiming reticle because the game automatically hits anything you're shooting in the general direction of, and you need to hunt down keys to progress in each level and have to collect new ones for every level. The similarities end at the camera perspective. In Bionicle Heroes, you actually have to aim to hit enemies, you can look up and down because the environments are actually 3D, and the Toa powers are never required to beat the game except the default character's telekinesis-the-door segments to stop you from skipping enemies and """""secret""""" areas, which the console version has as well, not to mention you only need to collect masks once and they're in plain sight. If anything its like a slower version of Quake, like Metroid Prime:Hunters.

speaking of which, does anyone have a link to that parody of the JJBA opening done with the G2 webisodes?

If lego had hired /biog/ for the bionicle reboot, how much better or worse would it have been?

I'm not saying we would have created perfection but would have handled it with actual respect unlike what Lego did wasting the budget and pulling the plug a year early.

Coordination is still a thing, people can work together. Plus G2 made general basic logic based flaws and screw ups that anyone can see/fix who gives two shits.

This shit doesn't even require new molds or instructions and would have sold easily. 4chan has now done better than Lego.

Difficult to say, probably worse.

>Sets
Would be a bit better, and the Skullfuckers would have been A LOT better I think.

>Story
Had potential but didn't go deeper in the most "visible" parts (I didn't have the chance to read the books) so I'd say better.

>Marketing
Even a disabled chimp could do it better.

The books mainly talked about the Protectors tailing the Toa for the most part and catching up to them and then there's the adventures in skull city where Ekimu cheats in a 1v1 trial by combat.

Though, I will give it this, the books did give us a giant snake rahi that was controlled by a skull spider then teamed up with the Protectors and Harvali, who they randomly bumped into and was lost for a year or something.

... I tried to give her a bit of ass. I'm not totally satisfied with how I did it, but I don't have any Nuva shells or those new CCBS ones (I fucking wish Grievous had a few of those, otherwise I'd have been set).

So yeah. This is Hadi, my first attempt to make a qt bonkle.

I was also thinking of using this piece for a decent rear, but I don't have it in a good color unless I swap out most of her silver for gold, which I don't think will do well with her.

I don't like how visible that ass plate is from the front. It's also way too high up to appear as her actual rear.

Is it just me or is that jet one of the most forgettable sets? I mean, there were plenty of sets that vastly overshadowed it in 2008, but even as its own, it's pretty bland and I always forget that I have it. Vultraz's mask is neat, though.

The mixel joints make for good wrists and other smaller joints. But you really need other parts to connect between CCBS and system.

Also new thread when? We're almost off the 10the page.

It's a pretty streamline jet, the cannon on it's underside is nice big piece.
