Everyone else I like enough to keep it down to small changes, but Tahu needs something not shit.

So any MOCists have any idea what one could use the hyper-specialized torso beam on the Uniters for? I mean it's a cool piece, but the gear on the bottom of it might limit it's use in MOCs I would imagine, unless one could incorporate it as another type of function idk.
>>
>>5298510
This just looks perfect. Love it.

>>5298536
Unfortunate that Pohatu's combination doesn't work quite as well. Would be great if they at least did something with those arms instead of having them just awkwardly sticking out though. Perhaps if posed right it could look like a cape or something.

Overall the new sets look pretty great. Loving all the Technic stuff.
>>
>>5299205
Im personally a little iffy on Lewa's arms despite how cool the rest of him looks, just because the upper arms hinge from the center of the torso, not the outside, which is gonna make some poses impossible or weird looking.
>>
>>5299216
Yeah, I see what you mean. Their arms are also a tad short with the tall new torso builds.
>>
>>5299219
I mean, personally I can get over short arms, especially when G1 suffered from some of the most disgustingly long arms I have ever seen near the end. At least we can cannibalize the master versions of the characters for parts to make some improvements on these guys, I can already think of some ways to improve Lewa without changing his look that involves giving him separate upper arms to his silver vorox armor shoulder things. Kopaka still has the best custom upper arms in my opinion

As much as I think the Vorox armor can make some fairly meaty looking sides, the fact that it is only done on one side and leaves some gaps leaves a bit to be desired, Gali is weird in that she really only looks good as a sharkgirl.

Maybe she looks better in hand who knows, but that one random orange shoulder armor is especially jarring.

You could always move the other Vorox armor onto the shoulder and replace the thigh with another shell+armor addon.

Or just add more orange.

The only problem I have with Umarak's design is one that seems almost too easy to fix to the point that I am a little confused about why it isnt like this to begin with.

Moving the hordika necks his arms attach to up one axle would vastly improve his design in so many ways, and it doesnt look like it would interfere with his shoulder armor due to just how large the gap there is, I just dont understand why they are officially the way they are.

To be fair, there is only one pose presented here where it looks dumb, the other poses have it looking a lot better, I have a feeling it restricted upper arm movement slightly so they had to move it down for better bow aiming poses.

I have a feeling that the 4-long shell would bump up with the beartrap shoulder pads if you moved the hordika necks up. Easily fixed with a 3-long, I suppose.

Onua why, I mean, I get that one arm has to have more stability and one needs to have a bit more range of motion, but still feels like there had to have been a better solution.

Nobody yet has brought this up, and someone has actually posted something showing that they totally missed it, so here's a PSA:

Melum's function swings his arms side to side (or maybe hugs?) Almost like skull basher.

Terak swings up and down (probably alternating, but maybe not) like the 2015 sets or OG onua mata.

Just look at the gears in the new pics, it's pretty obvious.

Getting all Bonkle sets because this wave is literally my idealized perfect wave and I got all the 2015 sets despite several of their faults, not getting SW constraction because all of them except Vader and Grievous sucked major ass and all the new ones suck just as much ass.

In all honesty, probably 360 degrees, unless there was some specific limit put inside the gear piece or something.


Also after looking at lewa a lot more his upper arms have grown on me, I realized that if I change the way I think of them everything makes a lot more sense, the glatorian necks limit how far you can bring the arms down, but the limit happens when the arms are more or less straight vertical, which means it's fine, and otherwise they articulate decently in terms of how much upper arms on humans can articulate. I also felt like his lower arm armor would limit pose-ability a lot as well due to interference with the vorox armor on the upper arm, but thinking about it more I realize it will just basically limit it into only slightly more range of motion than a standard elbow joint, so that's fine too.

His knees are still iffy, but besides that I like him more the more I think about him

This is something that's always pissed me off about Bionicle and Hero factory. A ton of new weapon molds and armor molds per wave, and half of them are never used again. It's such a waste. Take the new axe part for Gali and Lewa for example, or the one used for the skull villains. Versatile pieces, multiple connection points, and there's a good possibility we won't see either ever again.

2016 is certainly shaping up to be a 'fixer upper' wave of sets. They're certainly not bad, but a few simple changes to the sets, mainly to the weapons, are gonna go a long way.
>>
>>5299727
I just think Potato and Gali's chain weapons are logically stupid. If they swing with their blades then the chain weapons would slam into themselves. It's an imaginary world sure, but physics wise it's just not convenient with the lore.

Chain weapons irl always had the chain weapon as the main damaging part if they were not symmetrical like nunchucks or 3 sectioned staffs.
>>
>>5299741
Lewa 2016 is amazing in terms of colour coordination, silhouette and structure. The only complaint I have is that its weapons are not stationary and spin around. I feel like this would have problems staying fixed while playing or the rotational joints on the propeller blades could loosen up. Would have preferred Lewa to have the blades fixed like a punch-dagger.
>>
>>5299741
>Tattoo and Laywa have basically the same weapons
...how?
Tahu's got a switchblade- Bat'leth and Lewa...well...let's just say that>>5299417 is a pretty accurate representation.
>>
>>5299743
Try building a mockup of Lewa's weapons and function.
(the function can be made from a stripped rahkshi with two Glatorian necks in place of the shoulder-ballcups).
Now swing that thing and tell me what happens. I'll wait.
>>
>>5299742
I feel like they're probably intended to spin kind of like Lewa's weapons in theory, but in practice they'll probably just flail about stupidly.
I'm probably just going to use the parts to give Gali a cool staff. I'll probably give Pohatu a new weapon too, but I have to think of something good first.
>>
>>5299747
Your point? I just imagine Lewa's propellers to swing aside if they hit something and end up in an awkward angle, flailing stupidly like >>5299748 said.

The poseability of Lewa is great though.

Protector of Earth is the best of the six IMO. Ekimu's better than all of them, if you want to count him as a protector. The combo models are shit, except the proper ones for Tahu, Kopaka, and Onua (who we don't have instructions for, only screenshots from the app game).

That's because aside from the feet and the new blade piece they're almost entirely different from each other. It literally takes zero effort to tell the two apart from their outlines alone, poses aside.

Sure they've both got swords and wings, but you've got to be a fucking ADD Alzheimer's patient if you see nothing but that one similarity in their silhouettes and can't tell them apart from one another.

Yeah, because I sit around for an hour to formulate retorts to a pointless shitty internet argument. I've got things to do anon, so I'm sorry for keeping you waiting on the edge of your seat while your life wastes away.

Bottom line, if you can't see the differences that's YOUR problem. To me, they're so clearly different that it would be a legitimate chore to make a checklist. Because really, I don't care enough about correcting your blind idiocy to expend that kind of effort. Especially when no matter what I say, it will surely lead to you pretending you're a witty jackass, denying my statements, and attempting to prove me wrong again. Why bother? You're not worth the struggle.

So anyone else not feeling these at all?

I really liked the clean and uniform look of the 2015 sets, while still looking unique.

These look way too similar, even having almost the same weapons and their colour scheme is really tacky filled with silver, gold and trans-colours.

And then there's Ikir. Everyone loves him because muh phoenixes, but he's enduring the bleak fate of being tied to Tahu of all people.

These are the ones I'll order from S@H on Jan 1, as Australia probably won't get these in stores until February as usual.

I doubt I can afford all 6 though, especially with the $35 shipping for $100+ orders. Which ones should I drop? (Other than Pohatu, since the only reason I want him is since I'm a pohatufag).
>>
>>5299377
Onua and Terak as soon as I see them here. Gali and Akida soon after. Everything else depends on how I feel at Lego aisle. Will get all, eventually.

Also I want some Nexo and SW, but that's whole different story
>>
>>5299954

Drop Ketar, he looks kind of weak and and him+Pohatu is the worst Unity form.
>>
Alright niggers, I have $100 (68 Euro and $72 for those countries) to spend on plastic crack. The only three sets that I really want are Nui-Jaga, Muaka and Kane-Ra, and the Manas, plus my little brother wants Skull Warrior and Skull Scorpio. How should I plan this money out? I definitely can't afford all of these since M&KR and the Manas go for like $80-100 each nowadays.

I'll start by assuming you're aussie, given that exchange rate. If you want to get any of the old rahi sets I might sugest parting them out on bricklink and buying parts individually, might be cheaper. Might not work if there are a lot of one off technic recolors in there though. Generally avoid US sellers, shipping is painful (although prices arent really good from anywhere). But really I doubt you'd get much other than the Nui Jaga from your list for the money you have.

As for the skellies, maybe try and grab them on sale, a lot of retail stores are doing sales in the lead up to christmas. There is a pretty good thread in the BST section on the Eurobricks forum that has current Aussie sales in it.

Also sometimes stuff pops up on Gumtree at decent prices. I think I saw a listing with some 01-02 stuff in it a few days ago.
>>
>>5299964
>>5299971
If he put all three rahi in their own wanted list (set inventory > my wanted list > part out), and removed every part that he already had, he could probably get all of them 95% complete for $100.
>>
>>5299964
>M&KR and the Manas go for like $80-100 each nowadays.
They do? Damn I dodged a bullet with those.

Got mostly complete M&K years ago in a huge part lot for 40€, and Manas that were missing few unimportant pieces this year for 50€.

But I'd probably get Nui-Jaga and Warrior. Scorpio only if it's in bargain bin. You could also consider parting out like others said
>>
>>5299971
>>5299974
>>5299981
Yeah, I just parted out the Nui-Jaga and it's only going to cost me $20 plus shipping at this rate. I'll have to skip the M&K and the Manas, their parts are expensive as shit. Parting out M&K is actually more expensive for me than buying the set.
>>
>>5299984
>parting out Manas

Does anyone even sell the electronic shit separately?
>>
The dynamic between Lewa, Uxar, and Umarak's sets seems like serious fun for play, Uxars shadow trap has a chain you can link up with Umarak's shoulder chain, and then you could have so many cool little scenarios like lewa flying around with Uxar and Umarak shooting him out of the sky, or Umarak gets Uxar and you can reenact anons little comic thing. The fact that the three of them are all top tier sets with top tier uniter forms is also a plus. The three of them are definitely a first buy for me.

You don't get it.
Painting parts to make something that doesn't exist is the bad kind of heresy. It's lazy and uncreative, the whole point of Lego is to work around limitations, not plow over them and say "fuck it, I'll just paint it the color I want".
Creating something unique, putting time and effort into it, is the good kind of heresy.
What you posted looks pretty mundane and lazy.
