Can you really blame anyone? The early 2000's were so innocent compared to the shitstorm that is the modern day, although that's probably because we were all kids back then and didn't have to worry about adult problems.

Pic related, I don't know a single kid whose balls weren't blown off by something as simple as a basic HTML webpage. Hell, most of the adults probably felt the same way as well.

I don't really want to sound stupid, I am fairly new to Bionicle (though I am a long-time LEGO fan) but I would like to know how's Bionicle doing in terms of sales.... will it survive the next, lets say, 3 - 4 years?

We have no idea. But Lego projected it would run for three years in 2015, and it seems like it could be on track for that lifespan.

>>5705525
Unlikely.

I'd give the line 5 year life span at max.

On the news though, A Lego ambassador is travelling to Billund right as we speak to interview the designer team. Let's hope he'll return with some concrete info.

>>
Sets are on the website, but it looks like somebody forgot to add Umarak and Quake Beast. OOPS.
>>
So what are your headcanons for 2016 until we get a book/comic/anything to clarify it?

>Umarak isn't just plain evil, he wanted the Mask of Control in order to free himself from his destiny as keeper of the Labyrinth
>the Beasts aren't sentient, they're animated golems hewn from the rock of the central volcano (hence their faces' rocky appearance)
>The Mask of Creation was always made from elemental crystal (hence its immense power) and was just gold plated - same thing with the Mask of Control
>The corruption coming from the Mask of Control is nothing to do with Makuta, it's the result of Umarak's shadow element mingling with the other elements
>>
>>5706389
My headcanon and hypotheses intermingle a bunch, but:

>The mask of control was intended to seal away makuta's natural and inherent evil, giving him "control" or allowing Ekimu to "control" his otherwise monstrous brother. In attempting to replace it with the mask of ultimate power, makuta as he truly was is unleashed.

>The beasts are what happened to the traps
if you didn't notice, the traps were themselves actually small creatures, The beasts are what became of umarak's traps when he put on the mask of control, crowing into monsters just like him.

>This setting isn't actually a part of the same timeline as G1, but either will interact or has already interacted with G1 through the multiverse shenanigans that were going on at the end of the G1 storyline, perhaps resulting in the mask of time being carried over and the language older than Ekimu, and perhaps the main six toa, given how beefy they are compared to their G1 incarnations.

TTV and Lego is like the kid's whole life right now. Browsing 4chan's /toy/ board in your spare time is one thing. Dedicating your time exclusively to Bionicle and your shitty hugbox messageboard is another. I can't imagine how much of a loser he is outside of his e-celeb identity. Out of the ttv cast, he seems the most pathetic. Either him of that dweeby Asian kid with the shitty accent. Kahi?

Are you working with limited pieces?
Chestpiece spoils the colour scheme
>>
>>5706545
yeah. I would have prefered a solid gold piece there, but...this is the best I could get with what I have. I'm considering some changes here and there, but mostly in shell attachments. especially the chestplate.
>>
>>5706551
The use of 4 identical gold piece on the legs doesn't look good. You could change the angle of the armour shells, so that the upper 2 are facing outwards rather than straight ahead
>>
>>5706551
Additionally, if you don't have spare chestplates, just add in some blue to make it work. Blue and green is a pretty good color scheme.
>>
>>5706534
I like the shaping on the staff.
>>
>>5706534
>>5706553
You could use Onua's Crystal piece on the lower legs and shoulders. the ones that go from Gold to Clear. I would definately change that Torso shell, but given that your only other green option is the Ribcage or the Shapeways shell, that might not be in your best interests.

Maybe add more Ikir Wings to the back to make a sort of cape? the set NEEDS more Clear Green.
>>
>still no pages for Quake Beast or Umarak on the website

A sad day.
>>
>>5706545
the thing is, his options for non-printed chestplates are limited to tan, Gunmetal, or Black.

I just checked. it's not like there's a solid gold option for him or a gold torso green chestplate.

I mean, there's probably ways to remove the printing from parts, but I don't know of them.
>>
>>5706616
My point is, how about something a bit more creative than using that one chestplate piece?

Why are his arm bones different colours? If you couldn't get a trans light blue version of the hinged bone, make the bone on the other arm grey as well.

Winter 2015 isn't that bad. Gali and Lewa's masks are a bit iffy, but they're not awful. The only masks that are worse than the Beast ones are the Inika ones and the 2009 ones. I would add the Hordika heads to that, but they're supposed to be awful.
>>
>>5705525
No. They'll get rid of it as soon as summer 2017 is over. We'll get our promised three years then Lego will move on to CCBS Nexo Knights for a wave or two. The website will stay up for a couple of years after it's cancelled because Lego can't be bothered to get rid of it. 3-4 years longer is far too generous after seeing how little TLG actually cares about Bionicle.

Beast masks at least are actual masks. For hordika they are just chunks of plastic making the head.

No. They're made out of really high quality polycarbonate.

Yeah, I guess from a set and play feature perspective. But personally, until they're confirmed as functioning like actual masks in the Netflix show, I'm just going to consider them their actual faces.

it would probably just make him looks like a Kopaka upgrade, and you don't want that. Just try making a more detailed custom head with that piece.

There's not much to him. Just an assassin/sniper with cloaking capabilities. He's basically just an enforcer of sorts for and empire or something.

In that case I wouldn't recommend the head you just posted, or at least modify it as it feels more like a tribal based face rather than a stealthy assassin.

Now that you mention it, I did actually want to combine those two elements together, so that worked out it seems. I guess I'll just keep the head as is. He is part of a biochemical species that doesn't always necessarily look robotic. Also, have a view at his back face.

Yes he's not the best design wise but it gets job done of depicting a monstrous mutation of umarak, plus he's the only set from g2 that is this size.

He was a mod one time and just went crazy because people were insulting him or something and he just started banning everyone for no reason.

I'd post screenshots, but I hosted them on majhost since I used to do that, and that site is apparently down.
