Did the silver sets ever get fullcombos with their partners or was it only tahu and gold co?
post your planned 2016 purchases
lewa , onua, creature of earth and umarak solely for the mask
probably end up getting kopaka melum set later if it doesn't come with stickers
>>5304905
Multiple Onua, multiple tahu, their creatures, umarak for the MoC, pohatu for mask
just rub the trans red/purple and gold all over me yessss
>>5304905
>tfw most of the skullfuckers were skippable but nothing in this next wave is
>>5304913
Same here, man. Umarak is already aces better than LOSS and Grinder.
>>5304905
everything...
just like last time...
OK /biog/, I've lurked this general since the first rumor of the revival of Bionicle. I haven't purchased a Bionicle since the green, red, and black Gladiator guys, and as a college fresan, was hesitant to spend money on toys, but I just snagged Onua, hid protector, and Skull basher for $36. I'm hype as hell right now, can't wait to build them. Did I get a good deal for these? Both Onua and basher were marked down to 13 and 10 dollars respectively. Other figures from the line didn't seem to be marked down, are the black ones unpopular or something?
>>5304905
Tahu, CoF, Gali and CoW.
>>5304932
>are the black ones unpopular or something?
Well they're just more likely to be killed by cops or incarcerated for misdemeanors.
Seriously though, you got as good a deal on your sets as can be expected. Bionicle G2 is selling like crazy.
>>5304932
Nope, you chose right my friend. Onua and the Protector of Earth are probably two of the better sets of their brethren, and Skull Basher has more delicious purple parts and a unique function.
Plus, Onua for $13 is an incredibly good deal!
>>5304932
>are the black ones unpopular or something?
You got a good deal, that's all that matters
>>5304905
I'll get Lewa, Uxar, and Umarak first then see how I feel afterward.
I'll probably get Pohatu and Ketar after that for the brown shells if nothing else.
>>5304905
Gali and her creature for sharkgirll and Umarak because of the golden mask. Maybe Onua and bash him together with '15 Onua.
>>5304905
Umarak is the only certainty. I don't seem to have a lot of interest in any of the Toa, but the creatures have my attention. I'll probably grab one or two of them.
Why the hell doesn't LEGO release these sets in November before Christmas? Doesn't make sense they'd release it after the fact.
>>5305015
no one would buy all the straggler 2015 stuff if they did
plus lego is supposed to be relatively timeless compared to other toys
>>5305017
Good point. I guess a few stores let loose a few sets early, too
>>5304905
umarak, onua and CoE.
after that maybe the toa I didn't get last wave: tahu, lewa and pohatu
>>5304941
Not in Poland. They canceled the January ones because of poor sales.
>>5305039
>Poland
There's your answer
>>5305047
I haven't made a question. I just wanted to share info.
>>5305039
>canceled new releases
surely this will entice people to buy our stuff rather than just ordering it online!
>>5305039
Source or I'm calling bullshit.
>>5305015
I dont know, but obviosusly it makes some sense since they've been doing it this way for ages and its been highly succesful.
However, apparently theyve been having issues with stock leasing up to Chrisstmas, so you may notice some of the 2016 sets (not bionicle unfortunately) are actually already being released in the US. So maybe we will see it happen for more sets in the future.
>>5305039
>They canceled the January ones
And I thought Australia was bad.
>>5305158
australia may be slow but its consistently slow on time
>>5305160
Well, I wouldnt say on time. We barely ever get a full wave at a time. I remember having to wait half a month between the large and medium bionicle sets this year.
>>5305160
TRU employee here. Our system says the new Bionicle wave is arriving March in Australia...
>>5304941
Are they really selling that well? how does someone know? I've really been wondering how well Bionicle is doing and I hoped that it was selling, but I always see an abundance of sets at the stores so I have no idea, I guess it's a good sign that they keep stocking them and still have the Bionicle display box up at my local Target, though.
>>5305192
>toysrus
why would anyone go there if they can get them $5 cheaper at bigw/kmart?
>>5305246
This. TRU is a ripoff 99% of the time. The only reason to go there is if you want to try and find collectors' items like busts and whatnot.
>>5305192
Wow, thats extra shit. I'll probably do a S@H order come January then. Really us Aussies should all chip in to make a large order and get express shipping, so we can get new bonkles a week into the new year.
Also Im curious, when are we getting other lines? I assume Nexo Knights will be released January, right?
>>5305286
>everyone gives one cunt money
>he orders 50 bionicles
>20 of them get deported for coming by boat
>another 20 are deemed an ecological hazard and incinerated in quarantine
>cunt just keeps the remaining 10 and posts dozens of MoCs taunting us
sounds like a great plan
>>5304905
>Priority tier
Onua and Terak
>Will probably end up getting tier
Lewa and Uxar, Tahu and Ikir, Umarak
>We'll see tier
Gali and Akida, Pohatu and Ketar, Kopaka and Melum
>>5305246
>Kmart
why would anyone go there if they can get the big sets $5 cheaper at Big W?
>>5305316
kmart had the protectors for $10 but yeah bigw has lower overall prices
>>5305319
>protectors for $10
I wish that was my Kmart
>>5305322
no you don't
it was "clearance"
clearance somehow means 4 boxes 3 of which were torn open
still got it price matched elsewhere
>>5305316
>>5305319
Yeah I intend to get them all from Big Dubs when they have them on shelves like 2 weeks before us. Also it'll still be cheaper than with my staffie.
Just hope we don't get that weird situation again where only Tahu, Onua, Kopaka and the protectors were available at the start until the 2nd shipment.
>>5305367
how the hell does toysrus stay in business with such high prices? sometimes above RRP i've seen
>>5305373
Wider range, specialist, etc. Same reason EB games can still stay in business.
>>5305377
EB Games is oddly one of the most reasonable stores around my area. In New Zealand at least, I've found that every other store except The Warehouse will either sell their vidya-related stuff for even higher prices than EB or discount their shit so steeply when they need to get rid of them. Hell, as far as my location goes EB even sells PTCG boosters significantly cheaper than a dedicated toy store that has them way overpriced and I'm kind of pissed that this is even the case.
But yeah, online shops are vastly better in pricing the majority of the time, though I've found Bonkles to be cheaper in physical shops. Huh.
>Onua has trans purple bones in varying lengths
>Umarak has a new length of trans lime green bone
>>5305435
Kopaka and Tahu have 6M bones in their trans colors too, which are all new.
>>5305039
They haven't been cancelled, they're gonna be either Smyk/TRU exclusives or may releases along with Ninjago
>>5305442
The MOC golden age is upon us
>>5305232
It seems to vary from place to place. In the USA they seem to be doing okay, meanwhile the line seems to have flopped in Poland, not sure about the UK or anywhere else in Europe.
>>5305474
Seems to be doing fine over here in the UK, but the pocket money sets (The Protectors) were more popular for obvious reasons
Did anyone even buy that Bionicle activity book? What was the promotional mask inside? I haven't heard a word of it and the book's been out a couple days already.
>>5305510
It was Ekimu's Protector mask, 1:1.
>>5304905
Soon: Onua + buddy , Lewa + buddy
Probably: Kopaka, Uramak (more likely for mask and parts)
Not sure: Tahu + buddy, Gali + buddy, Pohatu + buddy
I also haven't bothered to grab: any Star Wars, Skull Warrior, Lord of Skull Spiders, Skull Basher, and Skull Scorpio in terms of this year's sets. Low $
>>5305474
ASDA (Walmart) stopped selling Bonkles after the first wave. I picked up Lewa on clearance. TRU is still selling both waves and there's at least two stores pretending that the Protectors are still new.
>>5305567
How can I attach armour to the legs? Is LDD just being a pain in the arse again or am I doing something wrong?
/biog/, gimme a hand here? I need help designing a head build for these guys.
>>5305614
Try either rotating the shells into place before attaching them, or sticking the armor onto the bones before putting those on.
>>5305647
Very nice. Are those gearboxes? I'm not great with heads, but the one on the right needs a trans orange visor and an aerial on the right to go with the Ice Planet theme
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPChBbwGhwM
>Back story:he was born with a father but he was a asshole to his son then mantle ran away he was homeless with no family or friends until he was train with the Jedi. But that jedi later turn into a sith his name was darth shadow he train him when he turn evil mantle also turn evil with him 30 years later he killed his master. Then he Heard about crimson now that's his next target.
Where all these nuts come from?
>>5305659
They do have gearboxes, good eye!
But I'm pretty sure the things you're referring to are the "roll cages."
The exposed balljoints on standard CCBS torsos provide very decent hardpoints for attaching things, so I designed a technic assembly that clips on to fill space, add some "industrial" detail, and provide extra surface for greebles and details.
The MTron mech has a gundam-ass "back-shield" to protect its chassis, while the Ice Planet mech has an "ore storage" pod.
Just waiting on an LDD order to come in and I can build these IRL
Lewa, Pohatu, Gali, Basher, Slicer, and Scorpio are on sale for 10.49 in the lego website with free shipping.
>>5305567
Might have just been my town but ASDA didn't carry them at all. Even the first wave.
>>5305691
One of my two local ASDAs only had the Masters while the other had Masters, Protectors and LoSS. I only saw G2 figures in the second one once, so I guess they sold as well as the Ben 10 ultrabuilds where I live. The first store had two Lewas and Pohatu on clearance for about month. I was going to get Pohatu, but he had gone, so I took the last Bonkle in the store.
>>5305523
Fucking seriously? What a rip off. To think they even had the nerve to imply it might have a Gali mask.
>>5305709
>Gali on the cover
>No trans blue G2 Kaukau
I'll skip it then. Did the first book come with a mask?
>>5305717
It's the only one with a mask so far, a "collector's" mask that is in reality just a regular-ass Ekimu protector mask.
>th-th-thanks, lego
Speaking of books, how far in advance did the previews for Island of the Lost Masks come out again? The release date for RoSS and the GN is already next month, so we might be seeing some of that soon.
>>5305723
Why the fuck couldn't we get variations of masks instead? It's as if Lego doesn't want their books to sell.
>go shopping last night bc I'm American scum
>target is video games but I check out the toys for fun, expecting to get a kick out of the devastation
>all the Toa EXCEPT for Tahu and Kopaka are gone
G2 is so backwards man
>>5305736
From what I've observed, most stores seem to stock about twice as many of Tahu and Kopaka as the other toa, presumably because they were the best selling toa last gen.
>>5305754
Curiously, only Toa I seem to able to find are the big 3, and a stash of Lewa. Pohatu and Gali pop up occasionally on smaller stores.
>>5305707
Holy fuck. Lego needs to find some way to turn it around this year. The Journey to One will give it some media presence at least.
>>5305647
Rendered in "instructions-style".
I actually have Mtron Mech 90% built. All it needs is the fluorogreen sword and a decent codpiece to fill the gap in its hips.
What is everyone using to fill the spot for Gali's 3rd mask? Since every toa already has 3 except for her there's just an empty space that needs to be filled. I remember quite a few months ago there was a mask maker anon who claimed to be making his own but after some family drama he disappeared. Did anyone else do it? Has anyone even tried replicating G2 masks successfully yet?
>>5304890
Only the big toa, and Onua doesn't even have an official instruction page about his combo, although it can be seen through the unity game's files. I saw someone post their recreation and copied it and it was pretty good for a combiner.
>>5305820
wait what?
Any ideas for a head?
>>5305846
Drilldozer.
Anyone see any Legos on sale for the "holiday"? Target seems to have a few, but no bionicles.
Walmart I haven't visited today, but the online prices seem to be bugged. One of the skull dudes is 10% off, PoJ is actually 150% above his normal price.
>>5305901
S@H had some black friday-sales
>>5305904
I keep forgetting Lego has an actual store.
>>5305731
To be fair, fhe last activity book that had an exclusive mask was in 2003 with the poisoned Hau Nuva. I remember ine in 07 had just a mantax head.
>meeting BZP staff irl
I'm new to LDD
where the hell is the halved version of the pic related?
>>5306003
Halved? I don't think it exists IRL either. What would it be used for?
>>5306015
halved as in at the waist
that thingy which is used as ankle for G2 Tahu to make him taller
>>5305994
That movie inspired Duke Nukem. So, who did you meet? Greentext your story.
And speaking of Bzp staff, does Andrew strike anyone else as a rather creepy /x/ tier pedo stalker?
Also does anyone have link to good tutorials for LDD?
Give me that and I'll fuck off this general so you guys can go on as usual
>>5306021
You mean friction extenders.
>>5306029
yeah that
>>5306021
Bone pieces, right next to the piece you posted. It's called a friction extender.
>>5306036
Nvm
I was using vanilla LDD
not LDD extended
>>5306023
pretty much all the main ones. They didn't seem to want to talk to people they don't know.
I actually had a pretty good conversation with Andrew about various things, though. He's alright in my book.
>>5306039
I applaud you.
>>5306048
Thanks.
>>5306048
>They didn't seem to want to talk to people they don't know
Well, that should put all doubts to rest that the bzp mods pander to the inner circle no matter what.
WHERE IS FUCKING CCBS PAPYRUS FROM UNDERTALE????
>>5306226
>CCBS sans
>its comes already assembled and glued permanently together
mettaton & papyrus would be the only figures that would work anyway maybe undyne
>>5306048
Seeing how the majority of them conduct themselves in their safespace (where they have power, authority and don't have to look the other person in the eye), I'd say that unless they were tired, weary or suffering from social issues, their reluctance to talk to people they don't know shows they're elitists.
It's funny how brown nosers are assholes themselves.

>>5306257
Why does that robot have a spoiler? /toy/ doesn't have spoilers.
>>5306257
ICE PLANET
Will LDD ever get updated?
>>5306311
Lego doesn't give a shit about LDD and doesn't update it with any regular schedule. IIRC, there was like a two or three year break during the hero factory phase from updating LDD.
>>5306244
Well yeah, but in the 'big picture' sense of things they're just the largest fish in a small pond.
I wouldn't get that worked up about it - maybe that's easy for me to say since I've barely been involved with BZP - but still... it's not like ALL of them are awful.
>>5306275
If this was sold as a standalone figure I'd buy it
What do you think of my Tahu collection /biog/?
>>5305723
That like the mask also has trans gold.
>>5306399

why
>>5306399
>10 tahus
thats a lot of fire swords anon
>>5306399

>>5306416
To be fair, the stars fire sword is pretty cool
>>5306418
There are 11 tahus in that picture.
>>5306440
are you sure i only see 10
>>5306449
Look behind 2001 Tahu
>>5306416

I don't care how much of a disgrace they were, the parts are still useful.

>>5304905
Lewa, Creature of jungle, Potato, Potato creature, umarak. I wanted to get the blue bionicle for once but gali's mask looks freaking weird with those semi circle eye slots.
>>5306399
I can only assume that middle one is a take on the movie version of Tahu Nuva. I need it.
>>5306615
The middle one us just supposed to be a marrige between the best parts of the old system and CCBS.
And the mask is similar enough that I'm using it as a Hau Nuva Adaptive.
>>5306626
>Maxilos' mask as a submarine-environment-adapted Hau Nuva
I can dig it so hard I'm drilling into 2016's setting holy crap
>>5306370
thanks m8. It's not that hard to build, desu. If literally all you have is Kopaka and a handful of other bits you can probably make it with one cheap BL order.
I'm just more set on finishing the M-Tron mech ATM.
>>5306739
>desu
Wow. What's that filtering? "Honestly?"
Nice one mods. I guess that's what's active alongside "kek ( c uck) = kek."
NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY YOU'LL NEVER RECREATE THE DUCKROLL EFFECT, YOU STUPID SHITS.
>>5306311
lol nope. They're all doing the Lego Minecraft cash-in atm.
Expect the next LDD update to drop after the 2016 Summer sets.
Speaking of which, 2016 Summer leaks when?
>>5306370
Here's a full-body shot for you.
The shoulder and knee armor are standins atm.
Shoulder = Orange sports helmets
Knees = Bionicle shells.

LDD's been a thing for at least a decade, yo.
Where've you been? Living in a barn which is also under a rock with no internet access?
>>5306768
I've...wow I've been out of the bionicle game for a long time.
>>5306769
No sweat, man. Just google "LDD" or "Lego Digital Designer" and first result will be the official download.
Play around in vanilla mode for a bit, then hit up "LDD Extended" for every available part.
Word of caution: LDD Extended has parts default to "Bright Red," but you can set the parts to any color. No prints though,
>>5306399

>>5306887
I think he's a solid set. Large black chestpiece is nice. Purple pieces, too.
I think 2016 looks like an improvement overall but the parts that come with 2015 are definitely worth it, especially if you can find him on clearance or something.
But I'm a completionist and had to buy them all anyway so maybe my opinion is skewed. I liked him more than expected and alongside Korgot he's a good set.
>>5306914
already got korgot guess i'll pick up onua if he drops under the $25 bigw currently has them at

Mostly wishful thinking, but I'm hoping they look threatening enough and that Storm has wings because I'm still salty about Battle Bat.
>>5306887
2015 Onua and Kopaka both indeed have stickers, but they're fine.
I wonder how their masks would look on the 2016 ones, I think the JUST masks may be offputting to some
>>5306985
got kopaka but haven't used his stickers yet because i don't want them to peel off
i've seen other people cut the stick in two so each part is on a flat surface rather than hugging the curve, does that really work?

As you say, but learning to draw can be a fun, if frustrating, journey.
>>5307030
I can draw decently, but Bionicle characters are a pain for me. I just can't get them right, so I just sketch my ideas in this quick, scribble-like manner. But I still need to do it because it helps me with MOCing too.
>>5307024
This winged motherfucker who never managed to turn into a real set.
snibbity snab
So, I've finally come up with 'backstory' for my MOCs. I decided to come up with these on the fly after realising I'd created 17 separate MOCS without having to disassemble any, and thought a shared 'canon' would be fun to devise. Apologies for the photographs not being up-to-my-usual-snuff, but the weather is terrible and consequently I can't get my typical good lighting. If you're curious about individual figures, I have solo shots. Anyway; without further ado:
>”Together, we can do anything!”
>Toa Pauzu was split in two during his descent from the heavens; a result of a meteorite colliding with him on his way to Okoto. The result was a fire Master bereft of temper – calm, collected and Zen, much to the befuddlement of his tribe. This did not last long however, as his missing half was quick to find him. Calling itself ‘Kazau’, the villager-sized imp of a Toa is able to bond with his soul brother, causing a dramatic shift in personality as Pauzu becomes pent up with volcanic power!
>”You say jump? I’ll say: How high.”
>Ojiko is a Master of Insects. While his kin playfully chide him for the apparent uselessness of his innate power, this Toa proves their fun and games false on a regular basis. Not only can he bend all the creepy crawlies of Okoto to his whim, he is also possessed of a bug’s strength relative to his size – he can leap tall buildings, carry ten times his own weight and even punch through solid steel. Not bad.
>”The six of us are bound by forces beyond our understanding.”
>The jungles of Okoto were much more volatile in ancient times, if it can be believed. This has given the acid-scarred Pakendi a grim, bony appearance when compared to his fellows; yet his is the heart which beats with the most compassion. The old ‘shaman’ of the group, Pakendi uses his Mask of Visions to guide and to keep safe those who are closest to him – his family. He has a particular rapport with Pauzu… at least, when Kazau isn’t around.
1/2
>”When United, unbreakable; when Dutiful, unstoppable; our Destiny calls!”
>Magnetism is both a marvellous and dangerous thing in a world of the biomechanical. It can be used for great good, or for cataclysmic evil. It was perhaps for this reason that the gods imbued Toa Zehu with this power: a determined yet innocent mind, almost child-like in his world view. Originally, he was the fabled seventh of the group – but since Toa Haruru’s betrayal, he has led the group with a slightly heavier heart than he was born with.
>”Anyone stands in my way? Send ‘em down to the Pit!”
>Bold, brash and cantankerous, Nohewa is notoriously popular with the people of Okoto, despite his skull-like Mask of Tides. He regularly aids the coastal tribes in trawling up fish and unlike his other, more defence-oriented brethren prefers to tackle threats to the island head-on. This has resulted in a loss of his right arm – frozen to a husk by a Northern Sea Drake – but not even this halted the Master of Water. He had the Mask Makers weld a cannon to the stump, and went about as usual the day after.
>”Beneath these skies, my brothers will always be safe.”
>Lauei, Toa of Lightning is the only female member of the group. While her frame is lighter than the others – almost waifish when compared with Zehu or Nohewa – this has seemingly been compensated for. While having the least in terms of physical strength, she is the most powerful in terms of raw, elemental energy. The biological matter beneath her metal exoskeleton crackles with power, and even seems to fluctuate between solid, liquid and gaseous forms. This permits her unique benefits, including (but not limited to) the ability to leave her ‘shell’ and become intangible.
2/2, but more coming.
>”Ook.”
>Gop is an Okoto Mountain Gorilla. Traditionally, these creatures escaped Kejeku’s interest as they were extremely docile despite their immense physical power. Yet one day, he found his yellowfruit shipments raided; utterly destroyed. The perpetrator was Gop, and he has worked for the Beast Lord ever since, doing his bidding in exchange for the pulpy goodness he craves.
>”Surrender, and you will have one less scar this day.”
>Shika Nua is a beast-woman: a rare breed of creature from the long-since disappeared Southern Isles. Specifically, she is a half-snake, and this makes her fighting style unpredictable as it is – to say nothing of her six arms, each as dextrous as its fellow. While the beast tribes are usually fiercely independent and distrustful of the Okotoan people, she was drawn to Kejeku upon learning that they shared a common enemy: Ozar, King of the Bandits. Since meeting him she has served loyally, all in the hopes that one day she will be able to go up against Ozar in the arena, and rid the island of his miserable existence.
>”Come one, come all – to the show of a lifetime!”
>Kejeku is a member of the tribe of stone. Once upon a time, he was a big game hunter who brought many an exotic meal back to his people. Yet, greed got the better of him when he travelled to the City of the Mask Makers as he devised a plan for affluence. He would tame beasts big and small; but all deadly, and pit them against the gladiators of the arena for sport and for profit. He is now wealthy enough to run what amounts to a monopoly on the fights, and is barely shy of being a gangster. When he participates in the arena himself, he does so astride a golden chariot pulled by the most loyal-yet-volatile of Okoto’s monstrous animals: the Giant Fire Ant.

>”Grrrrr…”
>The Energy Hound is quite possibly the most lethal of all wildlife in Okoto (only the best for the Beast Lord). Their innate power is sonic in nature, and permits their vocalizations to vibrate matter. If one were to bark, it could quite feasibly liquefy and opponent from the inside. Naturally, shortly after its first match, the Mask Makers imposed a rule that such creatures should be ‘soundproofed’ if fighting against gladiators.
2/2, but more coming - that is, if this isn't too annoying.
>”Without Unity, Duty, or Destiny, I am at last… free.”
>Haruru was once the Toa of Sonics. He was a strong leader and a fierce friend. However, it would seem that the Toa Masters are not faultless creatures, and even they may falter at times. Seduced by an unknown power, Haruru is now a ‘Shadow Toa’, and uses his powers for personal gain. His Mask of Sonics and his Toa Tool, the Vibrating Axe, give his offensive qualities similar power to energy hounds – yet, this is an intelligent being; one which obeys no law made by society or by nature. He has been known to kill those who stand in his way, and has made an enemy of the forces of good as a result.
>”I have toiled long in the desert sun. Okoto WILL be mine.”
>A beast-man from the Southern Isles, Ozar has used his gods-given physical strength to carve out an identity as the King of Bandits. His followers are typically exiles and misfits; those who want power, wealth and revenge. Ultimately, Ozar cares little for his servants. They are means to an end: complete domination of the island. He has been defeated numerous times by both the Toa and by Ekimu and Makuta… but each defeat only makes him more determined, and more tenacious. Only death will stop Ozar, King of the Bandits.
>”…”
Little is known of the entity which is known amidst whispers and rumour as the ‘Lord of Skull Spiders’. It seems to be little more than a wraith, or a shadow: something yet to come, or something that could possibly be. It haunts the outskirts of the City of the Mask Makers, floating through the night air – watching, silently. Many villagers see it as a bad omen, and attempt to steer clear of it whenever possible.

>“Your face. GIVE IT to me.”
>Dakali’a was the rose of the gladiatorial arena. She was as beautiful as she was unbeatable; yet one day an underhanded attack involving corrosive acid permanently scarred her shapely, metal visage. Gradually, she lost popularity with the audiences, and was driven to madness. Dakali’a now fights with her shame hidden behind a hideous ceremonial mask, and does so for one purpose only: to disfigure as many of her opponents as she can.
2/2. That's all for now. Hope it didn't take up too much of the thread, and hope it was an interesting little read. Sorry I tripped over the last hurdle there by not greentexting one of the entries, too.

Just order a mask

Only mask they had was medium blue Rau.
But I did sperg in, and got my first ever classic spaceman with it. Now I'm just afraid how big the shipping to the Europe will be for the two.
>>5306770
You can get printed parts if you use the bucket tool.
>>5307131

aren't those expensive?
>>5307212
This one was $7, with apparently slightly faded logo.
Which is kinda much, but what ever.

I didn't get to say it in the previous thread, but that centaur one is freaking cool. I plan on making Umarak a centaur and that moc gave me the idea, keep up the good work.
>>5306887
Yes, get him. I think his 2015 set is great, and looks more solid than his 2016 version. He looks more stury and has no clear gaps, and generally just...feels right.
>>5304905
Lewa, Umarak, Kopaka+other thing, possibly Akida too.
>>5307047
Not bad as backstories go.
Mostly though you're making me want to revamp my old Toa of Magnetism

Just take your time and don't hamhand it and they'll go on a treat.

And use some kind of clean tool to apply them, like tweezers or a knife. It keeps oils and skin cells off the adhesive.
G2 Toa Metru when?

this anon (>>5304932) here. Yesterday I went back and ordered Pohatu and protector of stone, and now I'm looking at getting skull warrior since his weapons and color scheme look cool. How do you guys resist the urge to just buy the whole wave when it releases?
Some one made this awsome drawing of a moc of mine. Wanted to share it here as well
>>5308253
By having a shred of self control and financial responsibility.
>>5308253
>How do you guys resist the urge to just buy the whole wave when it releases?
I pace it out to one set every week/2 weeks. Also gives me time to enjoy them.
I'll admit I bought three Skull Warriors on their week of my timeframe because he's an army builder.
>>5308253
I don't.
>>5308253
Because I buy them instore, with cash.
>>5308262
it's not like I'm going to rack up credit card debt buying bonkles, but this is the first time I've bought legos since I was a kid, I'm excited man
>>5308263
>he's an army builder.
why'd you have to tell me that man? now I have to get at least 3 of him next time I get around to having cash to buy sets
>>5308263

At least now you won't grab every set in one go.

But I was kinda tired of the whole "two-color-bootleg-weapon" thing, so...
>>5308528
...I decided to give him a musical career.
>>5308531
He's pretty good.
His axe is standard stuff, no teslashit whatsoever. He's not even using his elemental powers.
That just /happens/
>>5308536
Day or night, he rocks alright.

why don't you try coming up with something? It's kind of difficult to write Bionicle fanfiction without sounding stupid on some level
>>5307985
I looked at as many pics of the 3d model from the mobile as were available online as I have the game on android and his model is unlocked on the ios version. I had to figure it out from that and I think mines around 90-95% accurate.

>>5308253
I have several months notice of when a new wave is incoming and I'm an adult with a career.
Bionicle is actually a very affordable Lego line. The entire 2016 Winter wave is like $50 cheaper than 1 fucking Simpsons set.
Welp it's confirmed the activity book mask is 100% the same as Ekimu's protector mask. Glad I held off on pre-ordering
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ihV_y9Tr5Q
do 2015 pohatu, lewa & protectors of fire, water, jungle, ice have any good parts or should i just save my dollary doos and wait for 2016 sets?
>>5308864
Dang, from some pictures it looked like a clear mask that turned to blue at the ends.
>>5308879
Why do you have to ask?
You can see their parts from the pictures.
>>5308879
Pohatu has a cool mask, and the most unique weapons: his stormerangs. He's also has an assymetrical build.
Overall I love the combinations of Pohatu in 2015 and 2016, very combat orientated.
>>5308891
i'm asking for opinions not facts
>>5308900
Every set has good parts, just look for the ones you need the most.
>>5308542
I vote this for next OP pic

CCBS Doof Warrior when?
>>5308942
I agree
dem green flames just takes the cake
>>5307639

The Gathering of the Tor error actually makes sense now.
Is there some muh lore in it?
>>5309054
My guess is that the Protectors are going to be called Tor from now on. It's quicker to say than 'Matoran'.
>>5308942
>blurry as shit

>>5308783

So what's the release date on these guys? January?
>>5309146
Officially January, but it's possible stores will put them out in December when they get the shipment. If I recall, the first g2 wave didn't have a hard release date beyond "when they arrive."
>>5304913
of course there skipable, Bionicle is but a shadow of its former self
>>5309163
Last time I checked a human had a larger shadow than dog shit.
>>5309165
what
>>5309163
so you actually bought all of the entire waves of "same body with different mask and weapon" of G1?
There's more variety this time around, if that comes at the cost of story, I don't care.
>>5309180
You gotta' admit though, it is a shame that the Skullies didn't have their own, individual masks. Heck, even a unique colour for Slicer and Basher's would have made me happy.
>>5309201
Yeah, Skull dudes aside from Warrior and Grinder were kinda disappointing.
Ekimu is based as fuck, though.
>>5309201
There's only so many different skulls that you can make. More colours would have been nice though. Silver Master masks when?
>>5309205
>Yeah, Skull dudes aside from Warrior and Grinder were kinda disappointing.
>Implying that Skull Slicer wasn't the best Skull character.
>>5309205
>Basher
>disappointing
>>5309227
>>Implying that Skull Slicer wasn't the best Skull character
>character
I think he's a great character, too, but, set-wise, he's number 3 in my opinion because he uses a Skull Spider mask.
If it matters to you, I think he's a better set than Basher and Scorpio.
>>5309234
That's just, like, your opinion, mang.
>>5309234
Scorpio is better than Basher.
>>5309238
I dig the skull spider. Lorewise it's cool because he's basically a corpse being puppeteered by whoever has the Mask of Skull Spiders, and setwise I appreciate that we got two villains with skull masks, two villains with bull skull masks, and two sets with spider masks. That being said, I would have liked it if his skull spider mask had a unique color.
>>5309238
uh, so a set is good because it uses a new mask mold ? also, this is the first set to use the skull spider mask as default mask, and it's clearly better than at least skull grinder, and IMO warrior too.
>>5309256
>uh, so a set is good because it uses a new mask mold?
Yes, that's why the 2015 winter wave is better than the 2015 summer wave.
>also, this is the first set to use the skull spider mask as default mask
Winter wave included Skull Spiders as separate entities with every set, so those were already default.
>clearly better than at least skull grinder
Free enemy for Ekimu.
>IMO warrior too
Picking on the little guy, now?
>>5309262
>Picking on the little guy, now?
What ? I have my opinion and for me, skull warrior isn't very good, deal with it.
>>5309262
Shit taste, shit taste everywhere
>>5309267
>he thinks the summer wave is as good as, or even better, than the winter wave
Only Ekimu lives up to the hype.
>>5309268
>He's literally Skull Slicer after trading out his extra arms for a bow.
No ? maybe from a build viewpoint, but clearly not as a final render, the armors and such make them look very different, maybe they share the most similarities between skulls for you (and I would argue that skull grinder is more similar to warrior) but they clearly don't look like each other.
>>5309270
He thinks six sets with the same action features, six sets with lolguns, and lord of shit spiders is better than the summer wave
>>5309268
You're an idiot.
