It doesn't really matter, I just wanted to post my spurdo
nigger if we get that Vahi next year I swear to god it's a sign that 2017 is going to be 200% rad
>>5640009

>>5640033
>inb4 the vahi is a bs exclusive only
This is a bit of a rehash of last week's moc in terms of structure.
>>5640009

Nah, they're still denying it.
>>5640045
Old purple sticks out like a sore thumb but there's nothing you can do about it.

The lower torso makes him look a little cartoony but I like the overall looks, didn't think a krana can be put there.
>>5640050
Yup, thankfully it's only the krana.
>>5640051
It attaches with this piece: http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=20482
>>5640052
Ah, I see, and here I was wondering how can the Krana's peg fit into the CCBS chest hole.

Someone asked for Happy Merchant Ahkmou last thread, so I got off my ass and finished it.
>>5640033
Vahi will be Winter 2017 'special' mask, just like Mask of Skull Spiders/Mask of Control. MoUP will be Summer 2017 'special' mask like Mask of Creation/mutated Mask of Control
>>5640165
Doing the Great Spirit's work
>>5640174
If this happens then I can forgive Lego for Quake Beast
>>5640174
Would we get the bottom half in the winter with the upper half, or in the summer?
>>5640190
We got the bottom half 15 years ago, anon
>>5640223
Yeah it keeps reminding me of Frank Morrigan a lot now as well lol
>>5640199
Yeah, but would they rerelease it, or will the "bottom half" wanking never be fully brought into play in the story?
>>5640249
If they really make the new Vahi piece compatible with the old one, I hope they reprint it for the sake of newer fans and include it in another set, and this is coming from someone who already has both the golden and orange iterations of it.
>>5640276
If anything, I'd like a version of the old Vahi in Warm Gold; the previous one was from before they implemented it.
>>5639806
if G1 and G2 are connected, how? G2 cleary isn't the past or the future.
Another timeline could be the explanation. But why was only 'half a mask' created in each respective universe?
>>5640283
It was mentioned that the mask can connect to "the Past, the Future, and even faraway Realms", and there have been a couple impliances that this is another universe altogether. There's still a lot we don't know yet, though. I'm thinking around the end of the journey we'll probably learn what's really going on; maybe the truth is this generation's answer to the Mata Nui Robot, as far as big twists go.
>>5640050
you can even them out though

Did you just make this?
>>5640378
You gotta open up a store or some shit senpai, I'd pay good money for this kind of work.
>>5640165
Magnificent.
You guys are thinking this through too much. The Vahi that comes with the 2017 sets will all be one piece. It will come with Tahu in orange and the gold mask will be [toyspoilers]G1 Tahu's[/toyspoilers]
>>5640507
Like poetry.
>>5640199
Sure we did. But keep in mind that
1: Kids these days don't want to pay an arm and a leg online to have a piece of plastic from before they were born just so their Toa can wear a pretty mask.
2: Unless they do very good job on molding the new one, the old one will have some issues with connecting properly.
3: Lego doesn't do old gold anymore, meaning that old gold Vahi would look dumb connected to pearl gold top half.

Unpopular opinion but I actually really like the new boxes. They aren't as functional or cool as the canisters but they're perfect for display if you tuck in the flaps and flatten them with weights.
>>5640049
I love the way they say it, how they basically deny any possibility and say how it will never be linked as though they know this for a fact. They get so mad about it too, like they are being insulted directly when people claim the possibility of a continuation.
>>5640397
I plan on opening a bricklink store next month.
>>5640174
I think we might get the first half of the Vahi in the winter along with the second half AND the MoUP in the summer.
IF it really is going to be the end, an epic battle between the true Mask of Time and the unleashed potential of the Mask of Ultimate Power would be one hell of a way to send it off.
>>5640671
Canisters were the shit, but I'm pretty happy with the new boxes as well. It's nice that they tried to emulate the design a bit at least.
They also take up way less space, which is great because I'm really not sure if I could have found any way to keep around a bunch of G2 canisters in addition to the old ones.
>>5640671
I found tucking in all the flaps stresses or flat out rips some of the corners. I'd like to do that, but I don't want to fuck up the cardboard, personally.
>>5640722
>>5640724
Really what would be GOAT would be if the "boxes" were a cylinder of cardboard with a lid on top that functions as a suva or something, and the tube of cardboard could be unrolled to become a poster, maybe with the print on the front of the box on the inside.
Ended up getting the LoSS after all, couldn't say no at $8. I'm pleasantly surprised, a lot of what I heard made it sound like a pretty awful set, but I'm really digging it. Function is okay but looks cool, makes me think of a facehugger. And the amount/variety of parts in this guy are great, he'll be valuable for builds down the line.
>>5640800
The team of people who prototyped these know what the FUCK is up. Just needs suva lids.
>>5640715
Are you going to take requests or will it be whatever you feel like making?
>>5640378
gimmie gimmie gimmie that mask after midnight
>>5640630
Has awful coloring ever stopped Lego from doing something?
>>5640830
Cardboard canisters? Awesome. Although I imagine the design Lego went with is more structurally solid.
>>5640630
Yeah, they're gonna have toreissue/redesign the old MOT so it can both clip on the second half and on a face separately.
I'm still kicking myself for not getting a Vahi when it was like 5$ pre-reboot.
>>5640915
They can't be that expensive now, can they? I only paid $7 for mine a couple months ago.
>>5640915
>tfw got the gold Vahi from a comic
It was a gold mine. They had stuff like infected Hau Nuva, Avohkii and disk of time and then they had boring stuff like Krana checklist, Kadin and Elda.
>>5640918
Haven't checked gold Vahi prices since I already have one somewhere, but cheapest orange one on BL is 15€ from Russia.
>>5640923
I couldn't tell you about gold, mine was orange.
>tfw don't know what G1 stuff I should collect
Only thing I know is golden original Kanohi, but after that I don't know. Getting full sets of them is tempting, but it would cost a small fortune and take up so much room. Never had interest in krana, kraata or kanoka, except maybe the great ones but even those are way rare for what they are.
Maybe I should just settle for golden ones, and then the rare promotional Kanohi.
>>5640904
They aren't official, it's just a prototype a team of people made for a project.
>>5640811
I didn't like him back in 2015, but comparing him to Scorpio and Ketar, he's almost a masterpiece. Haha.
For the record, that's not to say I dislike Scorpio or Ketar. They've grown on me a lot, too.
>>5640920
>infected Hau Nuva
Remember those were given away with book packs at one point. But they eventually ran out of them, so later down the line the books came packaged with Lhikan's Hau instead. Then they ran out of those too.
My books came with Takua's mask because I bought them so late.
>>5640954
I know. I never implied otherwise.
>>5640962
>Lhikan's Hau
Reminds me how I bugged my grandma to buy that giant pack of batteries just so I could get that red good guy that was later retconned to Turaga Lhikan
>>5640950
I've only recently gotten into collecting Kanohi. I may be getting a trans-yellow Kaukau and white Matatu soon.
>>5640931
Well bricklink prices for gold ones are no less than $20. I'm actually glad I got mine as part of a lot a while back.
>>5640971
My wallet hates me for discovering Bricklink and their scalper prices.
>>5640841
I'll probably start with whatever I feel like making, though for relevance I'll try to have a full set of the 2015 toa masks available at some point.
My current completed molds are:
Mask of Fire
Mask of Water (needs to be remade honestly)
Protector Mask
Kulta's Skull
Kakama
Krana Bo
Think I might make a Vahi mold next.
Any mask in particular you want to see? I have the original pieces of almost all of them, except for some of the more recent reboot ones.
>making up any excuse to desperately connect this reboot with the long forgotten child hood of every bionicle fan
kek
>>5640994
I'd be more partial to replicas of ultra rare shit, masks like yellow Rurus or white Hunas in particular. If there's no chance in hell of owning the real thing why not a replica that looks pretty damn close, you know?
>>5640998
If anything there's just going to be a mask of time with a stylized version of the vahi as a part of it, and nothing else.
So I'm curious of two things.
One, why would LEGO give us a mask of Time in set form, if we're supposed to get the MoUP next year? Could it be possible they're extending the line? I'm leaning towards no and assume that if the MoT is released, it'd be in the winter with the heroes (similar to the MoC) and we'd get the MoUP with Makuta in the summer. Share your thoughts on this.
Second, does anyone else doubt we'd even get two parts to the MoT if it's released? I feel like the reference to being half a mask is simply a nod to the G1 Vahi. If you think about it, with the way masks connect to the G2 heads, it's impossible for them to construct two masks that can be worn separately and then combine to form a single piece. I bet it's just going to be a mask where the jaw is exposed, juxtaposing the exposed noggin look we got with the original.
>>5641006
True, I'll definitely be doing stuff like that since that's the kind of thing that pretty much anyone would buy.
No idea how I'm going to get smooth metallic colors, though. I've tried mica powder and it came out looking like the color of golden pantyhose or something.
>>5641023
We'll probably get the mask of time in winter and the mask of ultimate power in summer, or something.
>>5641024
Shame, you could probably rake in some money with PLG Ignika masks. Any luck with transparent masks, or are they still bubbly as hell? Not that those weren't radical, just that if you're going for replicas those obviously wouldn't cut it.
>>5641039
Well I did find a type of transparent resin which is intended for use as a table surface coating. It's thicker and if mixed carefully, has no bubbles.
The mask of water that I posted and the transparent figure in this image were made with it. Doesn't seem to be very sprue-friendly but at least I can get it to work with the masks.
>>5640971
Holy shit I've got 8 of those in a box somewhere. Guess I need to start a bricklink now.
>>5640962
I had the opportunity to [spoiler]steal[/spoiler] one of those infected Hau Nuva at one point as a kid. I actually regret not taking it, does that make me a bad person?
>>5640950
Just get whichever has the most emotional/nostalgia value for you. I'd guess that a majority of people who buy old Bonkles order their favorite sets because it reminds them of simpler and happier times.
>>5641104
>infected Hau Nuva
I've got like four of them are they worth anything?
>>5640998
>Making up any excuse
Um. What?
You do realize the Vahi was discussed as being the top half of G1's since the NYCC at which G2 was revealed, right? Plus, you remember all the Easter eggs of the G1 Vahi from the animations, correct?
It's not like Lego is shoehorning this shit at the last minute to appease fans. I'm personally not jumping to any conclusions by suggesting a definitive connection myself, but whatever Lego is planning on doing with the Mask of Time (both the new top half, AND old bottom half), it was planned from the beginning.
>>5640378
>SQUEE INTENCIFIES
>>5640165
Many thanks
>>5641114
Not that guy you're responding to, but is it so hard to think that while they were sitting down and going through the various elements of G1 that they could incorporate into G2, they looked at the Vahi and said "Hey, wouldn't it be neat to make a new Vahi? How about a top half instead of a bottom half?" and then they put the easter eggs in simply to hype the new mask?
Like, I get they've been laying hints, but it could just be for the hype and the whole incorporation of the Vahi is just for novelty's sake.
Similar to how the one legendary mask we never got in set form in G1 was the Mask of Creation. Then Ekimu just so happens to wear the Mask of Creation, even though it's clearly not the same mask as Artakha's.
tl;dr the G2 Mask of Time is a recycled idea, with a new spin. It's a play on it's former iteration and that's all LEGO is saying to the fans. Like, "Get ready, you guys are getting a new Vahi!"
>>5640830
Why couldn't we get this instead of those boxes? Lego really dropped the ball when it came to packaging.
>>5640028
Then. But Im a big sucker for kopaka nuva, as well as silent type animu grills
>>5641071
Damn, looks pretty good minus the missing head and hand.
>>5641150
Lego dropped the ball with a lot of things in gen 2.
>>5641229
Nah, although the packaging dropped in quality, G2 still feels a lot fresher than Inika and Piraka builds year after year.
The G1 titans are still superior though.
>>5640994
It would be nice to get some of the mnog matoran masks, like the black rau and red ruru.
Lime tohunga feet would be cool too, but they might be a bit to brittle?
>>5641150
Because it would've costed a lot more, thus leading to a smaller piece count for the sets.
>>5641251
Huh, I didn't even think about the tohunga, will keep those in mind.
I don't think the feet would be brittle, but they might be too 'soft'. I imagine they would be fine as long as long as there isn't a ton of weight being put on them.
>>5641379

That mask design is atrocious.
>>5641581
Oh, no. if you check the last thread there's screenshots of G2's Mask of Time. It's only the top portion and some anon was experimenting with some sketches to try and incorporate the G1's lower design into it.
>>5641581
Oh no. Some drawfag anon just sketched a few ideas on how a unified Vahi might look like.

Is it me or is Pohatu the favoured G2 character?
>LEGO says "fuck it, stone sets sell like turds"
>They bring back Pohatu only because they have to
>He is a lost cause, so they let the project developers do as they like with him
>Stone is brown again
>Pohatu receives exclucive weapons and unique design elements (greaves/thigh high boots and fashionable asymmetry)
>Pohatu receives a more unique (aussie accent) and appealing personality (the brooding loner who thinks)
>Pohatu is ascended from a supporting team member to the team's vanguard, powerhouse and occasional leader
There's only three parts that would prevent Pohatu from soloing the first year.
1)The Skull Scorpions
2)Awakening Ekimu
3)Fighting Kulta
Though I wouldn't be surprised if the toa suffer from the ninja principle. One ninja is dangerous. A group of ninjas is mook fodder. After all, the toa's tactic was to mob rush Kulta.
Maybe Kulta wouldn't put on the mask if he was confronted by a single toa. Or maybe Pohatu would cut loose and literally bring the house down on the Skull Grinder if he were alone.
Sadly, Pohatu lost a lot of his charm in JtO both as a set and a character. But even so, he was one of the three characters who could had passed the sea without the aid of his creature, he was the only toa to (briefly) possess the MoCo, and he was the only one to land a hit on Umarak. It was a great scene too.
Also he and Lewa received the lion's share of the spotlight.
I wonder why he isn't everyone's favourite toa.
>>5643074
Nope. At the last convention they said June/July.
>>5643100
Knowing my town that still means August.
Anyone here can explain the elements and the types?
I see creatures of water fire jungle etc
then masters
then guardians
who are the main main characters and where can i get them?
Alright /biog/, post current displays.
The fuck? Walmart.com apparently accidentally had a few of the Summer sets in stock for a short little bit.
>>5643223
The Masters and the Uniters are the same characters, just that the Uniters are their upgraded forms. They're the main heroes.
The Guardians are their sidekicks in 2015.
The Creatures are their pets.
The skeleton dudes are villains.
>>5643096
He always was and always will be my favorite Toa. Long live Pohatu.
>>5643065
Probably this month in case of Ekimu and the beasts. Umarak in june though...

>>5643481

Good for you. I probably have to wait till August, and if >>5643048 is correct, we won't even get all of the beasts here.
Fucking winter wave was released in March and even then Uxar and Ketar were nowhere to be found. I even asked one toy store that specialises in Lego, and they were like "Yeah, there's couple of sets Lego don't distribute here for some reason". I had to order them from S@H. At least I got that fancy Mr Freeze from it.
>>5643251

I haven't been here since early 2016 can anyone explain what connection do G1 and G2 have? And what's with the Vahi?
>>5643980
There isn't any connection so far. The comics just revealed that there's a top half of a Mask of Time called Vahi in G2, so it can be theorized that the G1 Vahi is the lower half, and the two are in alternate dimensions or something.

Hmm, interesting thought. JtO did show us that the skull spiders could take over the skeletons from Kulta's army, so maybe?
>>5644287
Well shit. I don't even have Pohatu, Lewa or Umarak yet.
>>5644287
Huh. This is the first official pic of them.
>>5644287
That looks rad as heck and having hordes of beasts make them feel less drab.
>>5644301
Now that I think about it, Toa haven't truly won anything yet.
Sure, they took down Tim Buckley and Kulta, but there's still skull spiders and skellies running around. Add some shadow traps, beasts and that nasty yellow goo shooting volcano to the mix and Okoto is in far worse shape than when before Toa arrived

>Umarak der Unheilsbringer
>Umarak the Calamitybringer/Doombringer
That's even more edgy and metal than "Destroyer".
>>5644464
>Umarak the Doombringer
Sounds cooler, if I'm gonna be honest.
>>5644464
Color scheme is surprisingly solid, considering that all four use very different colors.
Still, probably not gonna bother unless they give it some story significance like Kulta/Scorpio
>>5644464
Jesus he's huge.
Is it just me or does he look to be around the same height as Kardas?
>>5644464
He's gonna fall over at the lightest of breeze, those feet seem to be way too clumsy for that massive torso
>>5644464
I'm amused, but also annoyed, that they still didn't change his leg design.
>>5644464
>ribcage made of traps on top of ribcage
>lava diaphragm
>hand clawing gimmick works as a shashing gimmick now
>space between head and shoulders is filled out
>crown made from shadow trap/head looks like it's being swallowed up
>thighs are still short as fuck, though
Not bad in all actuality. The villain combiners (apart from the Basher, Slicer, and Warrior combiner) are really well done, and this is no exception.
>>5644474
Probs not.
>>5644478
>implying Grievous had a problem with the larger and smaller beast feet slapped together
>>5644480
The general design isn't changed but there are still some differences like friction-parts everywhere, dual large feet, additional talons, etc.
>>5644472
>unless they give it some story significance like Kulta/Scorpio
Wait, they did? I just made a separate fuckhueg Grinder that used up a ton of my CCBS parts for post-MoC.
>>5644464
Doesn't look too bad, but that lower body is just getting too narrow too fast and that really bugs me.
>>5644491
Yeah, it's canonically his Mask of Creation form.
>>5644496
>Yeah, it's canonically his Mask of Creation form
Fuuuck
I'll just slap bone wings and some gold on my huge Grinder, then.
Apparently Lava Beast can fly.
>>5644496
>canonically
Because some faggot in a shitty "lookit our WAY COOL toys" promo video said so? Yeah, fuck off. Unless they visually retcon the Kulta fight in a future comic book, that's bullshit.
>>5644507
What's wrong with it being his MoCr form?
>>5643897
You bought all the skull villains twice to have them and the combiner on the table at the same time?
>>5644509
Nothing. I'd like to see that change, but the main storytelling platform of 2015, basically the only visual form of media representing that scene, and the novel directly contradict such a dramatic transformation.
I have no problem with the idea, in fact I'll welcome it, but until it's more concrete than simply "word of mouth" it's sure as hell not undeniably canon.
>>5644496
>>5644507
>>5644509
>implying he isn't changing up his form constantly after the mask gives him new powers
>>5644515
I only bought Scorpio and Kulta twice, and only so that I could have Ekimu built too.
I'm a retard, I know
>>5644519
>Kulta puts on the mask
>smashes the Toa's golden masks in one swing because only morons try to zerg rush a new god
>he sprouts wings and flies off
>maskless Toa or regular mask Toa run around trying to find him in what looks to be a wild goose chase
>it's actually him chasing them as he fires hardened feathers at them
>>5644464
>Umarak the Obliterator
>Umarak the Annihilator
>Umarak the Emancipator
>>5644519
>gives him new powers
Nevermind that we don't even have a solid answer as to what the G2 Mask of Creation even does. Yeah it lets Ekimu "make beautiful masks" but it HAS to do more than that to warrant legendary status, right?
>>5644519
>>5644550
At least one of those powers is shattering masks in one hit.
>mask of creation
>allows for increased strength to destroy things (would be useful for hammering)
>most likely still uses raw materials if it can do that
This would be like one of those late-G1 masks that Greg did that usually have a drawback.
>>5644553
>G2 Mask of Creation somehow still needs raw materials
>meanwhile, Turaga Dume's Kiril can fix protosteel just by him staring at a building
I mean, it makes masks and stuff, but that would be pretty dumb.
>>5644287
Looks appropriately apocalyptic. That subtle reflection of the forge in Umarak's mask is a nice touch.
>>5644684
Whoa, I didn't even notice that.
>>5644464
Imagine Umarak the Hunter at this size. Gotta build it once I get the right pieces.
>>5644546
>Umarak the Euthanizer
>>5644464
>pretty much becomes the Kardas Dragon in his combined mode
holy shit
>>5644287
That's a nice callback to the 2003 poster, with the big good and big bad facing one another.
Haven't built this shit in like 13 years but kind of want to try getting into it after lurking this thread for a little while, any recommendations regarding the sets that are out at the moment?
>>5644910
Get the current bad guy, Umarak the Hunter. He's the best figure Bionicle has had in years
>>5644915
>figure
>not buildable toy
no thank you
>>5644915
Thanks, I'll check if my local toy store has him. I think they have less bionicle than I had hoped for.
>>5639151
Here is my jetpack, but I still used the Panthoka piece
>>5643486
>putting on the cheesy mask of time
>"ULTIMATE POWAHHHHHH!"
>>5644936
Blue Ruru?
>>5644464
Ehhhhhh
>>5644879
>comparing it to the Kardas Dragon
>>5644943
Metru Blue Ruru
Karzhani set
>>5644943
>>5644956
Exactly
>>5644959
>plugging translucent studs into pinholes all over a MOC
I will never understand this shit.
>>5644970
They don't make sense, that's true. Also I maybe should have used the normal trans blue. The actual reason was that I tried it out, because I didn't and still don't know what to do with all these.
>>5644946
>tumblr gifs
>DOCTOR WHO tumblr gifs
>>5644987
>>5644946
For situations like this, I have created a meme.
>>5642972
They tend to sell off old polybags that don't get given away. If only I could pick up an extra villain pack and potentially an accessory pack though.
So what ever happened to that Protector's guide of Okoto or whatever? Is it still coming out?
>>5645107
wasn't it like just couple of pages inside the first graphic novel or something?
>>5644287
>army of bonkle scalies
>>5645112
Oh, really? I didn't think about that. Huh. Oh well. Is Makooti's Guide to the Universe worth buying?
>>5645112
Yes. Both graphic novels have a section at the back titled "The Protector's Guide to Okoto" with a bunch of (mostly retreaded) story info.
>>5645126
>Makooti's Guide to the Universe worth buying?
Oh yeah. Both it and Mata Nui's guide to Bara Magna are beautiful books, and some of the best from G1. I think they're must haves, personally.
>>5644464
Holy shit, didn't expect to be picking up two of each beast. UtC looks boss as fuck.
Quake Beast box. Onua has been added to the image, but he is hard to see. Unlike Tahu, he appears to be in his 2016 form.
>>5644970
How do VIP points work? I got a bunch from the May the 4th sale and was wondering exactly how they work. Is there a limit to how many things I can buy with them at once?
>>5645416
Where is he? Honestly can't see him
Are there any higher res iterations of this image floating around? I know Russia got a full sized poster of it (lucky bastards) but as far as I can tell nobody bothered to scan it.
>>5645469
He's really hard to see, look to the right of his elbow, far right of the image.
>>5645416
LOL. I like how the blades stab into the upper border the and burst through the top of the box.
>>5645416
>QB's crystal blades tore through the box
>>5645439
Every dollar spent is 1 point and 100 points is equal to 5 dollars in rewards. Those savings are just applied to the total of your order, and I think points expire like 2 years or something after the purchase you earned them from. Not 100% sure about the last part, though.
>>5644464
What is it going to take for TLG to get the situation with leaked photos under control?
>>5645499
So could I buy a bunch of Bionicles and pay for them via points?
>>5645502
Its box art from sets Lego has already announced, shown at ToyFair, and officially come out in like a month. These hardly count as leaks, anon.
>>5645505
Pretty sure, yeah. I don't think they require an additional transaction to be cashed in.
>>5645510
Sweet, thanks anon.

>Umarak the Sodomizer

[CITATION NEEDED]
Moving into late 2016 the theme has got some great momentum. Are you NOT excited for an apocalyptic war where Okoto goes to shit and is overrun with hellspawn armies of darkness? That's your problem, buddy.
Plus, all warnings of the reboot's demise next year are just frantic doomsayer theories.
>>5645639
>Are you NOT excited for an apocalyptic war where Okoto goes to shit and is overrun with hellspawn armies of darkness?
If that's what it was, then yes, I'd be very hyped for it. But you forgot one key detail. It's going to be outrageously kid friendly. There will be no permanent effects, there will be no character deaths, there will be more plot holes than actual plot, there will be the same dry humor in JtO as the first season, there will be no major support by Lego, and all the sets for the summer are frankly garbage.
>>5645665
>>5645665
Lemme guess, you were an edgy '06-'08 Bionicle kid?
>There will be no permanent effects, there will be no character deaths
Nothing but assumption.
>there will be more plot holes than actual plot
Oh, so like. About a third (AT LEAST) of G1? Need I remind you of the Bohrok Kal saga, for example?
>and all the sets for the summer are frankly garbage
Opinion.
I think you've just outgrown Bionicle there, anon. It's okay to admit it. But don't drag the rest of the fanbase up with you or patronize those of us still enjoying ourselves with your generalizations.
>>5645700
Different anon. I agree that G1 had a lot of plot holes, but were the Kal one of them? They served to ensure that the Queens keep running the swarm while they were active.
>>5645767
I think the whole thing about the Nuva symbols and all of their silly shenanigans were the plot hole that anon was talking about.
>>5645700
It's likely we get to say goodbye for Umarak at least.
