G2 a Shit.
>>5408755
At least it's not black/red
>>5408780
Nothing doesn't confirm it's trans-yellow either.
>>5408788
Double negative means trans-yellow is real
Here is the prototype of Gali, not 100% satisfied but it looks okay I think. I had difficulties trying to get an asymetrical skirt look with the vorox armor, but apart from the T-bars colour, it works perfectly and don't hinder articulation or the waist gimmick.
>>5408823
Where's her tits?
Am I the only one here that likes what UtD and Ekimu have to offer so far?
>>5408845
Yeah, their both pretty solid. Umarak needs a new set of horns and maybe different claws, and Ekimu needs some gold on his mask/chest.
>>5408845
Yeah, you are apparently. What's it like having shit taste?
>>5408845
You're not alone.
I wish the beasts had a less humanoid look to them, though.
>>5408850
They're*
>>5408755
I think what the idea was for UtD was to make him an even more recognizable, hunched over wendigo like in pic related, but he looks like, well, shit.
Well, Ekimu looks like a fucking iceberg and seems like the worst of the summer wave
Umarak looks okayish, i guess...
And the beasts, well at first I was pretty disappointed. I really wished for some four-leged wolf-like monsters, but tbqh. their style works
>>5408895
Not while im eating, senpai.
Does anyone know when the new sets get released in sweden?
>>5408941
http://www.lego.com/sv-se/products/brandcatalog
>>5408856
yeah
>>5408211
>Robot dinosaurs were planned for G1
>they didn't make the beast for this summer wave robo dinos
The one fucking chance to actually use robo dinos, and they still don't.
>>5408895
I say he looks like a Deathclaw.
>>5408941
You Swedish nerd.
>>5408959
Too Transformers-y
>>5408973
Transformers neither invented, nor has a monopoly on, robot dinosaurs.
Why do they have to use those hollow tail pieces as horns instead of the existing horn pieces?
They did the same thing to the one skeleton.
Last thread with bump limit. So gotta repost criticism request for skull rider. I'll work on the vehicle on Monday. Sorry I don't got the Skelton head in the backgrounds.
>>5409087
Does he ride the ceiling?
>>5409087
I flipped the device and it still has taken it upside down. Sorry for broken necks
>>5409094
Aye my nigga hold it horizontal
Hopefully fixed edition with better angle >>5409087
What Bonkles are you guys waiting on? Pic related was just delivered today.
>>5409105
How much do these even go for? I saw some for like 9 bucks at a lego store, might've even been cheaper.
>>5409100
It was taken horizontal. The new one was vertical. 4chan just hates my device.
>>5409102
>Inb4 tripfag plz shoe back to reddit
Here's a moc to hopefully distract everyone from the shittiness of UTD.
>While referred to by many names, he is only known across the galaxy by one - The Operative. A mercenary hired by whoever can afford him, usually the governments of far off lands, the Operative is a highly skilled, efficient, and deadly killer. Not much is known about this individuals past - not even Hero Factory coukd find information about hi. When hey hired him. What they do know is this - he's of an unknown species, wearing an incredibly bulky suit of armor that hides his true appearance. Given his current contract with Hero Factory to apprehend three dangerous fugitives, he was provided with a specialized chest plate, so that other heroes can identify him in combat. Of special note is his helmet - when asked, the Operative stated that a mission of his went off course to an uncharted system, where he found carvings and statues of the mask design in several temples. He snapped photographs and later integrated the design into his helmet. Despite his reputation as a violent killer, he has shown respect and even compassion towards other heroes - you would never guess what a violent killer he is.
The head really needs work - currently the mask is attached to a Mata head attached to a Mata hand, but that makes the neck too long. I can't find a smaller alternative that allows the MoL to attach.
>>5409143
'Nother pic. He's also got Rey's pistol and a red knife holstered on his sides.
>>5409153
Honestly I'm more proud of the weapon than anything, even though I'll probably mod it in the future to have a fore grip handle or some ther Tacticool shit like that.
>The Operatives has a XV-29 Modular Weapons System rifle which he has named "Fannie", after an ex-girlfriend. In his words, "That bitch was bad, but she was also crazy as hell. Felt fitting." Fannie could not be reached for comment. She is presumed dead. His current load out for the weapon features a Farshety Systems Reflex sight, Ion Castor plasma rounds, an extended stock, and a select fire switch.
>>5409093
I'm almost 100% certain this version of Ekimu is 100% preliminary in terms of color and design. His new mask would probably be unity compatible, and more than likely a blend of trans blue and gold
Just going to repost these for convenience's sake.
>>5409208
>>5409204
It probably is, yeah. And while a full trans-blue mask makes me happy, this would be far and beyond the better choice.
>>5409208

>>5409212
This is the only one of the beasts that legitimately pisses me off. It's legs are retarded, its arms are gonna be stubby again, its head is basic af, its weapons are useless and it doesn't appear to have a shadow trap, unlike the others. Fuck this thing
This is one sick motormount. Whoever made this should be proud.

>>5409244
>>5409221
The 'traps' are actually part of the creatures. Storm Beast's is the end of the tail, Quake's is on the shoulder, and while obscured a bit, you can see the hinges of a trap on the back of Lava Beast's head.
>>5409261
Oh god that's even worse... This thing is going straight to the workshop as soon as I buy it.
>>5409271
Shhhh
Don't think about these. Not until toy fair
Enjoy your winter sets for right n-
Oh wait, no, you can't even do that seeing how shit this entire wave is. Hell this entire reboot is god awful (besides umarak... love you bb)
>>5409279
The first round of toa were good, the protectors are nice small sets, and the skeletals were fun in their own way.
>>5409279
Welp, time to close /biog/.
It's probably just me but PoJ's mask reminds me of Xan's head in UT2k4's concept art.
>>5409255
Implying your neglected cock wouldn't twitch with joy if Hugebricks made a monstrous rule 63 Umarak chick.
>>5409288
The first toa were ok, I can't say too much about them besides that they didn't use enough new armor pieces, but they had nice proportions. The new toa have the armor, but the proportions are out of whack again. What's worse is just how easy it is to fix most of their problems, yet lego refuses to add in the few new parts we'd need to make these things perfect. The skeletons, like the beasts, are incredibly underwhelming sets and both offer seemingly nothing new to the table. And it's the same problem again, they're so easy to fix, but Lego still can't take their fists out of their asses for long enough to add the few parts they'd need. UtD for example would look remarkably solid if his horns weren't so awful and if he actually resembled UtH at all. If he has trans yellow, I'll be satisfied, but after Pohatu consistently screwing us over, I have my doubts.
>>5409208
They gotta be changing that chestpiece to solid gold or something. theres just way to much trans blue
>>5408755
>yfw this isn't trans yellow or trans neon green but instead trans gold
Does anyone else get the feeling that 2016 is more of an "experimental" year? Like they're testing the waters to see if people like a more complex build-- CCBS acting as more of an add-on rather than a core part if the building system.
I actually like UtD
9/10 not enough deer
>>5409323
>trans gold
How would that even work!?
Trans yellow with sparkles all up in?
>>5409214
>It probably is, yeah. And while a full trans-blue mask makes me happy, this would be far and beyond the better choice.
I disagree, full trans blue is a lot better for MOCing and I wouldn't say it looks bad currently.
>>5409314
I'm guessing lego isn't confident enough to give us enough new parts because it's constraction, so most of their resources just go to the ninj-ima knights system sets.This would be a reason why they gave nexo knights a show on network television, while we had some webisodes and are now, finally getting a proper series on netflix.
>>5409347
Yes.
Ok no, in all seriousness, pick up a creature of earth, fire or ice and hold it up to the light. It's head mold is semi translucent. I'm thinking just a bit more dilution, and it could be a legitimate trans gold
But fuck it, this wave is so ridiculous, I wouldn't even doubt sparkles
>>5409352
Must be. I really wish lego would just sell 50% of the rights to bionicle to a toy company that specializes in action figures, so we could actually get some high quality sets
Working on my upgrade Pohatu project do I get Finn or Rey first?
>>5409365
Rey without a doubt. Those shells are gonna be useful as fuck
>>5409365
Get Rey for those s2ck brown shoes
>>5409374
>>5409375
figured as much.
I'm gonna go to the lego store at downtown Disney later, hopefully they restocked on force awakens. I wanna get Pohatu + buddy + Rey to work on upgrading. I managed to get a half off Master of Stone from Target too.
I wish Lego Store had a really good free something with purchase promo. Maybe there's some lava men left at least.
>>5409379
Lego Store online is sold out of everyone, but Finn and Poe and oddly Phasma (her parts count and price kinda sucks though...).
>try to make resin masks
>get skin allergy that fucks my whole face up
gonna be another week of this swollen dry scaly bullshit
Forget about leeks. Let's mourn Gali's death.
>>5409402
Did you take pictures? I mean, if it's as bad as you say then you could upload them and none would recognize you.
>>5409344
I'd like to see other types of builds a well but so far they've fucked up every time they've deviated from humanoids. LoSS and Skull Scorpion are universally reviled and LEGO seems to listen to the comments. Also humanoids work better with test groups.
Personally I think they should had gone wild with the creatures and beasts but without incorporating any build-distorting functions.
>>5409365
Do you take requests?
>>5409408
What did ya canibalize her for?
>>5408755
Fuck this thing is terribly and irredeemably ugly..
>>5409413
This fella.
>>5409409
I'd rather not, I don't post pics of myself on the internet. Couldn't really give you a good sense of it in a picture without showing the whole face, anyway.
Just imagine a face swollen basically from the cheeks up (thickest swelling is on nose, cheeks, forehead, eyebrows), with a red rash everywhere that extends even behind the ears. Cover that with dry, dead peeling skin and you have me right now. At least I have some stuff to properly treat it. Calamine lotion and benadryl wasn't accomplishing shit.
Guess I've learned my lesson. "Eh, the safety data sheets don't apply to me, I can do this." -thbbbbt-
I probably would have been fine if I was wearing proper face protection. Went back and did a color test with clear resin and my blue oil paint that I finally found (pic related, may be too solidly blue) and noticed that the already irritated skin was reacting to the fumes. I think it was more contact than fumes, since I was screwing around with the solid stuff pretty carelessly five days before with no reaction, but either way I'll be sure to do it right next time.
/blogpost
>>5409355
Ah, so Old Gold like with the gold Mata masks.
That shit was translucent as fuckballs.
>>5409463
how translucent ARE fuckballs?
Switched his colors around and made his weapon more of a flail.
>>5409466
Do you see any around? That's how transparent they are.
>>5409473
That canonically G2 Onua is getting constantly robbed?
>>5409457
My mother used to mess around with stuff like that in her room. Eventually she died of cancer that started from her respiratory system and then spread to other organs.
Use a mask and work outside. Preferably when it's windy.
>>5409436
...was it worth it?
>>5409488
>Eventually she died of cancer that started from her respiratory system and then spread to other organs.
That's awful... Sorry you lost her to something like that.
I'll definitely be triply sure to treat this stuff seriously next time.
>>5409473
so by this point Gali is clearly the most competent member of the team
>pohatu lost his mask to a backheavy scorpion that can't even bend its legs
I had very few parts to work with, but I think my first actual MOC in 5 years turned out decently.
Whats the best way to get a bunch of parts? I wanna make my own shit but I like having full bonkles.
just random set parts from bricklink or ebay or something? sorry if its a dumb question
>>5409604
those two, and maybe you'll get lucky on craigslist
I found a guy who was coincidentally a professor at the school I was attending at the time who was middlemanning for his son. Got a good selection of G1 sets for good prices, and Iruini in canister.
>>5409591
Solid work.

>I was raped, when my team had their masks stolen
>I was raped, when I saw how bad the summer wave looks

Yes. That picture didn't do it justice though.
>Goes to Walmart
>looks for the 2016 Toa that I haven't gotten yet

Why's he selling so bad?
>>5409723
>Nigger
Nah but he's maybe just not as interesting
>>5409723
He looks nothing like he did in the movie.
When I first saw him while browsing through the shop, I thought they were doing a really stupid mech version line of figures, but then I say Rey and Kylo and immediately realized that Finn just looks really, really bad.
>>5409304
My nigga
>>5409723
Bad luck, anon. They still only had Kopaka, Uxar and Umarak at my store. Although some of the winter 2015 sets on clearance, pic related.
>>5409759
nice
>>5409759
Jokes aside, Lewa is pretty alright, if you can excuse the stubby arms.
>>5409759
Does this mean they are selling badly? Not even 1 month and already on clearance
They definitely don't sell at my local stores, the only bionicles there for months and months have been 6 skull scorpions down in the bottom corner behind a display you have to move to reach them
Surrounded by hundreds of star wars sets, of course
>>5409477
thats a badass weapon
>>5409771
More likely some idiot stocking shelves made a mistake, since "LG BNC LEWA" was already on clearance, and he couldn't be assed to check the product number.
>>5409759
All the stores in my area only have Umarak and Tahu. It's Garbage.
Anyone tried messing around with Tahu's arm armor configuration? Here's one I kinda like. I'm not sure if I like the big ol hulking shoulder pads on him. I modded my 2015 Tahu's shoulders as well.
>>5409804
This ones not so photogenic. Looks better in hand.
>>5409805
Looks better w some posing
>>5409828
You should probably reach age 18 before using 4chan.
I've never shopped with bricklink before so I'm gonna ask before I try. What do I search if I'm looking for
>hordika necks
>brown pohatu 2015 shells
>friction extenders
>>5409898
parts 50923, 90640, and 98613
Today's a bad day to go to Downtown Disney, parking was full and closed and tomorrow's the Star Wars Marathon.
I said fuck it and ran to Target and grabbed Rey.
The actual build itself is more complex than I expected. I like the exclusive for now Star Wars gear box back cover.
Here's a god awful kicking Pohatu.
>>5409909
>Last skullfucker on the shelf
>Box was ripped wide open
>But nothing was gone
Figured I'd rescue him from his inevitable future in the bargain bin, or god forbid the actual bin.
I might give him a revamp of some sort in the future. He's pretty lackluster out of the box. That said, there's a lot more stuff and other projects I said I'd finish before I get to work on that.
Still though, He looks a helluva lot better than the villains we're getting this year.
>[ENDANGERED MATORAN DETECTED]
>[SHIN-PAD IDENTIFIED]
>[TERMINATION AUTHORIZED]
>[ENGAGING HOSTILE]
>>5409917
I still can't find him in clearance along with Skull Crappio.
>>5409922
They'll turn up on sale eventually. They always do.
>>5409904
You are a good man. Thanks anon.
>>5409934
I think you're after part 64276.
Check brickset.com and look up sets with the pieces you want. It's a pretty good site for finding part numbers.
>>5409939
That'd be the part. Thanks again man, saved me a lot of searching. I'll keep brickset in mind for future endeavors.
>>5408845
Don't worry, it's just the ususal circle of
>leaks appear
"ZOMG, THEY LOOK LIKE SHIT, ALL HOPE IS LOST! WHY DON'T YOU CATER TO US TRUE FANS, TLG?!"
>clear pictures appear
"Looks bretty gud. Might get one or two"
>sets in hand
"HOLY SHIT, 10/10, UMARAK THE DESTROYER IS THE BEST SET EVER! TAKE ALL MY MONEY, TLG!"
Happened with pretty much every year.
>>5409941
It's almost as if there's more than one person that posts as Anonymous.
>>5409941
There are still plenty of people who dislike sets even after they've released, so I don't know what you're talking about. You should probably stop generalizing so hard.
>>5409952
they sound bored. like they have no social life. how tripe
>>5409504
No.
It would be pretty hilarious if the leaks turn out to be fake after all this outrage. Definitely not expecting that though. The backgrounds alone look too legit for fakes, unless Lego is now making decoy prelims to combat leakers or something.
>>5409982
>Decoy prelims
In a few years, I wouldn't be surprised if something like this happened. But yeah, I don't think that's happening here.
>>5409938
A lot of the old lore was ridiculous and shit
2001-2004ish were god tier don't get me wrong, but fucking alternate universes and all the stuff like obscure shit that only ever gets mentioned once or seems like some intern's shitty OC isn't good
I'm glad that there's still some mystery in the reboot, although a tiny bit more lore and context would be nice
>>5409985
>still more mystery
like what? seriously this is just a rehash of the original, Makuta is the evil shadow guy and Ekimu just replces the toa of light. all it did was replace god tier rahi technic sets with this beast shit where is my new exo toa armor? where are my mask packs?
>>5409917
you might as well have just removed the bags from it and gotten free bonkle
>>5409992
Nigga I know OG bonkle was good but just because it isn't precisely like 2001 doesn't make it bad
>>5409985
I much preferred the creepyness of the mata style
the masks were more like masks instead of helmets and had more gaps
to me the toa were mysterious silent elemental god constructs sent from the heavens.
and now they are colourful sci-fi robots with a ridiculous V shape body.
>>5410008
don't forget O mouths.
>>5410009
they did sort of preserve them which is nice
>>5410005
>just because it isn't precisely like 2001 doesn't make it bad
if they're gonna go out of their way to bring back to much its disheartening to make up new shit that isn't from G1
Anyone else feeling let down by this reboot?
The first wave was really good, the protectors were small, nice sets and complimented the larger Toa nicely, while the bigger sets really nailed a good mix of nostalgic design and a modern look. Each one also looked different enough to be unique, but still look like a team.
The summer wave with bad guys was pretty meh, I only picked up the Skull Grinder vs Mask Maker, and that was only because of Ekimu.
Now the 2.0 Toa look alot worse. The fact that they all have the same tacky silver armor and bladed weapons make them look like some shitty Hero Factory sets. Ithink the colour scheme is my biggest complaint, it really looks ugly. The recently leaked summer wave doesn't look any better, Ekimu looks weird with those proportions, the beasts look, again, like some shitty hero factory rejects and Umarak himself is just big, but his tiny head on the massive body looks stupid.
>>5410029
its like this reboot borrows parts from hero factory because of how much more superior the build system was ensuring a buildable action figure line for many years to come.
>>5410029
>Anyone else feeling let down by this reboot?
The complete winter wave of 2016 on my shelf points to "no".
I'm just saying that, If Star Wars CCBS sets didn't exist(and no one would miss it), Bionicle could have a large budget, more sets, etc
I'm feeling mighty let down by lego. This was our theme they took from us true fans and just spit it in our face. No interesting new lore, no interesting new words or dictionary like our original superior G1 had. Not even video games, how the hell does Ninjago get games and high quality CGI tv series and not Friends tier netflix shit?
>>5410034
Star Wars is more deserving of sets seeing how it never got canceled, unlike bionicle, and did help Lego head into the right direction of branching out to licensed themes, I'm so happy with my Batman and Hulk CCBS, why are you so grumpy and bitter anon?
>>5410036
Is this a joke?
>>5410032
Nice that people like them. Maybe they're better in the plastic, so to speak.
Do you have a group photo of them? What do you like about them?
>>5409992
Is makuta dead?
Where is his body?
Why did the villager's cities fall into disrepair after ekimu left?
How did makuta influence the skull spiders and raise the skeleton warriors from the dead?
Where have the elemental beasts been the whole time and what is their significance?
Is umarak just another minion created by makuta or has he been hunting the beasts for much longer?
And where did the Toa come from this time around
>>5410008
They were always colorful sci-fi robots with V shaped bodies
And the Mata weren't exactly ever silent
>>5410031
The build system is not superior in something very important: variety
Also Lego only uses it to build boring humanoid body types over and over
I'm glad they're using more technic again and umarak was a step in the right direction slightly from just generic human-shaped villain guys because he had interesting antlers and legs but still
>>5410044
Oh I see. You're just lazy to come up with your own and expect someone else to make something you'd find interesting. You sure are lazy.
>>5410046
What the fuck are you on about?
>>5410040
That was my own view of the bionicle back then.
I remember as a kid denouncing the bionicle movie because their masks had facial expressions and eyebrows. it was heresy gross and foul
>>5410036
why can't you see that they look like shit?
I guess recycling pieces is the price they have to pay for not making clone sets every fucking wave
>>5410059
Not talking about the movies
In the comics, books, and MNOG they always talked
I don't really think your childhood interpretation of them as silent which is untrue should affect your opinion on the reboot as there are bigger problems with it but whatever
>>5410039
I think what anon said is that there is mystery, but no immersion. MNOG and promotional material from 2001-2003 really immersed us on the world, and the 2015 animations didn't do this enough
>>5410073
Must have been too busy with the big mystery JJ set up for Disney
>>5410073
I agree with that, they have mysteries, and they are starting to expand the lore but there needs to be more presence for it and depth
>>5410075
they should just release more sets and let the children play
>>5410073
Revenge of the Skull Spiders is actually pretty good when it comes to immersion. It employs MNOG's strategy of taking the main focus away from the Toa and only catching small glimpses of their adventures.
The implementation is far from perfect and doesn't really manage to set up proper atmosphere, but the general idea is definitely there.
>>5410038
>What do you like about them?
- whole unification gimmick works way better than that shit from 2007 and each figure simply looks amazing when combined, even with figures from different elements
- waist swivel as an additional point of articulation
- neat action functions on the beasts
- tons of Technic-integration
- even more parts than before
- shadow traps are way more complex than the spiders could ever hope to be
- what little issues they have like proportions, part arrangement, color distribution, etc. can easily be changed even with only the parts in the set, like switching Pohatu's shells around or flipping Umarak's shoulders so they won't look awkward anymore with the shadow trap deployed
The only things I'd complain about are that the secondary colors of the standard masks should've been trans, too instead of silver and that Kopaka's shoulder construction is pretty limiting.
>>5410076
Kids have to be interested in it
I liked bionicles when I was a kid because of the cool story they had behind them AS WELL as being buildable toy robots
>>5408755
>leaks are out
>be in Denmark
>new sets aren't even in stores yet
Fuck this shit.
>>5410083
Ninjago and Nexo Kinights seem to get on fine with no mystery. Times have changed. What worked 15 years ago is a thing of the past. Its all about how kids can relate to a product and what they see, not some mystery no one cares about. Its why cape films are doing so well these days, we know the good guys will always win so keep repeating it.
>>5410083
And I liked them only for the cool buildable robots angle. The media just felt like a toy-selling formality so I avoided it all.
>>5410090
You couldn't be more wrong
The movies and some of the shit games for GBA or ps2, etc? Yeah those were made to sell toys
But stuff like the books or MNOG or the free comics were made to deepen the story
90% of the characters and stuff mentioned in those were never even released as toys
>>5410092
>But stuff like the books or MNOG or the free comics were made to deepen the story
Nah, it was also to sell toys
>>5410098
Oh, I see. So the reason they do none of that now is because they DONT want to sell toys. Got it.
>>5410104
When Bionicle ended that fat guy who wrote the comics or whatever gave up because he wasn't getting paid to make any more children's book for it and went on to Ninjago. Whats the new writers name anyway? I don't really see much talk of him or the book. If someone could post some pages or link a free online version I'd be happy to catch up on what he got paid to write for this reboot.
>>5410104
It costs money and kids are different now. Making money was part of the goal but that doesn't mean it isn't good.
>>5410104
What are you talking about? They are still making comics and books. The animations are supposed to take MNOG's place.
>>5410110
More like indoctrination into a silly cult about aliens
This G2 is being handled by a bunch of straight white men. That's why it sucks.
>>5410112
What a shame. They should have made a MNOG G2 for us true fans.
>>5410115
>made by straigth white men
>the fanbase is straight white men
makes sense
>>5410116
They don't really do it for true/old fans but I agree that they should have made okoto online game or whatever (probably for cell phones as kids love playing shitty phone games all day)
>>5410136
just get EA games or bethesda to make a skyrim with guns expansion pack that you can download and follow on all our tweter updates for bazinga nerds like urself and meself :^)
The only thing I wish they had for the reboot was takanuva. I mean ekimu is alright, but with all the references to g1 and the vahi and the nuva symbols takanuva would have been better. He's one of the original gang just as much as tahu/lewa/gali/onua/pohatu/kopaka as far as I'm concerned
>>5410142
Hes not part of the original six though, he was an after thought for wave 2, which is why this wave 2 looks different. Its a good thing for a change to make it different and not boring again.
>>5410138
nice shitpost but someone actually is making a bionicle mod for skyrim
I don't know why they chose skyrim as the basis to create their bionicle game in but there ya go
>>5410146
>someone actually is making a bionicle mod for skyrim
Skyrim? Why thats the greatest game of all time but fallout 4 would have been more appropriate seeing how it is skyrim with guns, therefore better.
>>5410145
If they wanted to make it so different they wouldn't have kept the Toa Mata in the first place
Or the Toa okoto now I guess or uniters or whatever they're called
It wouldn't be boring for the intended audience where 90% of there sales come from (the kids)
>>5410149
Actauly skyrim is fallout with swords so its actual the better game OK
>>5410151
>It wouldn't be boring for the intended audience where 90% of there sales come from (the kids)
So you actually work for lego and have exact figures on how well they are selling?
>>5410154
No, guns are better and the crafting is better. Its why they call it skyrim with guns because guns make everything better, not lord of the rings nonsense that sells horriblely
>>5410156
falout is just sily OK skyrim is better is has magic and dragone and elfs and I made it and its MINE OK
>>5410166
I'm sure funko will team up with lego and make bazinga ccbs some day for true fans like you and me :^)
I see time is still frozen at shitposting o'clock.
>>5410188
Let's get the clock ticking again then:
Any ideas on the printed pieces? I'm assuming Ekimu will get gold and silver rune designs to match the Uniters. The Beasts seem to have a crystal theme like the Creatures so I'm expecting that kind of designs on their chests, though I wish they could get some weird stuff like Umarak's chest design. And I think Umarak's chest stickers will match the Beasts' style since he's (sadly) pretty much a larger Beast.
>>5410219
Umarak still retains some elements of his Hunter form, so I could see the chest design being based on that. Maybe a more savage version of what he has right now.
Remember the time when you didnt even need to be a set to have an official art? Those were the good times
>>5410228
Like that mouth print dripping some green goo.
Any idea what piece is being used on Lava beast and Quake Beast's left hand?
>>5410266
I'll whip it up for you in LDD.
>>5410266
I don't really get it. LB has this MOC-level hand but legs built by someone in kindergarten.
The blades stick out from the top axle-hole.
Not terribly sure I got Quake's right at all.
>>5410040
Cyborgs, dammit.
They're always been cyborgs.
Something seemed really familiar about Kopaka, Lewa and Pohatu's limb builds.
You know why? Because I tried them all myself years ago and deemed them too shitty to use.
I get that they're trying something new, but it just isn't fucking good.
Same goes for ALL of the Beasts' legs. I hope whoever designed those gets fired.
Any Scotfags enjoying the snow today?
>>5409062
The piece was shit when the DC Ultrabuilds used it. I have no fucking idea why they insist on using it. At least make it solid.
>>5409208
That's a sweet MoCr, even if we never get it. The chest will probably have some gold printing to cover up the trans light blue. The upper legs could do with larger shells or shorter bones. Is the other mask black or gunmetal? As much as I like gunmetal parts, black would probably work better.
>>5409212
Those knees need to be fixed immediately. The weapons are a bit crap, but at least there's a bunch of the crystal blades to salvage.
>>5409215
I hope this is a mutant Korgot. Is that one of the Ben 10 hands in purple? I can't see much of the trans purple arm, but it looks promising.
>>5409220
Kill it with fire. Are those tans yellow claws or are they pulling a Pohatu on us again? This is a definite pass if things don't improve drastically.
>>5410342
look like robots to me.
>official canon
lel, everything is awesome
cant wait for bionicle to end so we can go back to the lego general and spam our mocs there. :^)
>>5410423
hero factory will replace it again so everyone will be bitter about it again and do nothing with their lives again
>>5410423
Did that happen? The line getting cancelled doesn't mean we can't have a General.
>>5410429
I heard it was dead before the G2 leaks showed up.
>>5410429
there sure was no general during hero factory's run.
>>5410353
I don't have my 2016 Kopaka yet and I'm too much of a shut-in to venture out with muh bonkles.
>>5410423
>robots with dicks everywhere
>>5410280
Lava Beast has fingers, but not articulated ones? Why couldn't the hand be a copy of Quake Beast's one?
>>5410034
I have a feeling that if the SW figures didn't exist, we'd just have the same Bionicle sets that we have now. It's not that the Star Wars sets eat up Bionicle budget, it's that Lego had room for another constraction theme and decided to give SW some figures.
We've had Ultrabuilds since 2012. It never really felt as if those sets (all with six figures per wave) ate up magic HF budget.
>>5410491
Well HF used/ctreated every single mold from that besides the head.
Meanwhile bonkle has no SW parts at all.
>>5410502
Disney has exclusive rights too all molds in that line and they will not be used for lesser themes.
>>5410502
You mean to say that if the constraction theme wasn't SW, it wouldn't have received new molds?
>>5410512
does it matter? do you have a say in what Lego does and doesn't do?
>>5409964
Dang it man, you're getting me all embarrassed. Take a look at this snippitysnapshot, then form an opinion.
>>5410521
what the fuck
I say this every time we see pictures of new waves, but the leaked wave looks like shit. Might just bricklink the masks and be done.
(I also thought uniter lewa looked like shit, and turned out to be my favorite uniter so fas, so what do I know?)
>>5410521
What is this
>>5410525
I don't know, but here's more angles.
>>5410539
Some sorta industrial type brobot.
>>5410528
Has anything about the 2016 sets pleasantly surprised you?
I figured I'd hate tahu's weapons but I actually kind of like them. That and I was gonna make potato's arms longer but I gave him some 2015 brown and he looks a lot better just by doing that alone.
>>5410550
Didn't mean to quote. On phone and captcha doesn't show up unless I quote someone. Forgot to get rid of it.
>>5410550
Those new, non-ccbs, armor pieces, were bigger than I thought, the crystal sword pieces look really good in real life, and the custom builds were surprisingly refreshing.
>>5410085
Same here in sweden.
Fuck my life.
>>5410550
>>5410572
I was just about to say, Melum is freaking adorable.
>>5410568
I'm in the US and the sets aren't even in stores around here. Being West Virginian is suffering.
>>5410078
>whole unification gimmick works way better than that shit from 2007
Don't you mean 2008?
>>5410548
Ain't gonna get no work done with no legs.
>>5410643
>implying he wasn't talking about Jaller Mahri
Joking aside, I'm also sure he meant 2008.
>>5410036
Holy fuck, that hulk is ugly.
>>5410036
>Because of this piece of shit UTD has that shitty chest.
I think it suits Onua but I never wanted to see it ever again.
>>5410521
YOUR MOCS ARE SHIT
THEY'RE FUCKING SHIT
3 things in this reply.
1) These new leaks look like shit, do we have reason to believe them?
2) I finally got my gold skull mask, yey. Hail Ukraine
3) Would this be a good list of all G2 Rares in order of rarity:
Can't get tier: Solid Golds, then Trans Gali
Dang tier: Clear Tahu, then Trans Scorpio
Neat tier: Villain Pack, then (a lot farther down) Hero Pack
then everything else?
>this thread
>/biog/ isn't getting worse by the day
>>5410768
People believe them because of the background art, and couple of "new" pieces.
Imma wait tell Toyfair.
So an online store has 10 % off today. I'm seriously thinking off ordering all my 2016 wants in one swoop, right now I'm justufying it by it being my Birthday January 27th
>>5410796
this isnt Lego this is bonkle general
>>5410778
Do we even know where they came from in the first place? The anon who posted them last thread didn't seem to know if they were real either.
>>5410353
I'm neither scotfag, or an owner of the current 2016 wave, but the snow outside where i am would be perfect for pictures.
>>5410811
No idea, but they are most surely real, the thing with fake leaks is that they general have no new pieces, and are made extremely blurry to hide this fact as well as the differences in photography vs. CG, they also have a tendancy to look like MOCs rather than actual sets. These sets have just enough flaws, as well as plenty of new pieces, to make them believable. But what really sells it is the detailed and consistent background art.
>>5410811
They were first posted here. Where they came from previously? No one knows.
Shadow Hunter the Hunter is actually a fuckin baller ass set damn
>>5410858
shame Shadow Hunter the Destroyer kind of drops the ball.
>>5410616
Are we even sure these sets just didn't release and people who say they found the sets in stores are actually a part of the lego company trying to perpetuate this conspiracy of sets? Wake up rahi!
is there any reason why Tahu and Onua are the same price as Umarak?
>>5410870
Because it's 2016.
>>5410870
They were 20 dollars last year and had less pieces than they do now.
Tahu has a more complex shoulder build as well as more pieces in his weapons than the 15 dollar Toa, Onua has his giant hammer upping the price.
best place to get 2001 Pohatu? I'd rather not get ripped off too hard
Goddamnit, dude, I wish I had CCBS growing up. Bones and shells are so fucking satisfying to build with.
>>5410353
I require more pictures of this melum.
>>5410941
I think they look too gappy and boring compared to the crazy stuff that could be built with a good amount of technic and balljoints
>Those little shitty McDonalds Matoran
fuckin love these things
>>5410991
We call them "Mctoran"
>>5410991
Got one of those with reidak. His play function was press button to spin the saw blade. Shit was cash for little me
>>5410991
I remember getting one in a package with a chrome hau. I don't remember what was the name, but the CD which included some bionicle music was the best thing ever
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX1t4UIlhAw

What the fuck this had to do with Bionicle?
