So how much longer until Ekimu sacrifices the Toa and protectors to demons during an eclipse so that he can achieve the power of god?
>>
How much are older used bionicles? I have a huge pile of complete kits and have no real need. No idea on pricing or if they are sellable. Stuff from web of shadows back basically.
>>
So I just got Ekimu and Quake Beast from the Lego Store.

why were these sets shat on again? QB just needs a few pieces moved, and Ekimu needs slightly longer arms, but...they're pretty much perfect sets.
>>
>>5713754
Depends on the set, you will get more for stuff like Bohrok or classic Toa than you will from the Hordika or Visorak for example. In general, the cooler a set looks + the more nostalgia people have for the set, the more its worth.

God damn Umarak the Destroyer is awesome in the app. His stylized design is great and he shoots a fucking Godzilla laser from his mouth.

Shame the Beasts and super Ekimu aren't incorporated into the game AT ALL.
>>
>>5713779
What all is new? Are there new maps? Any new story? We need SCREENSHOTS, anon!
>>
>>5713779
I'm guessing it's probably a beta of the summer patch if there aren't any beasts or any of the other three Toa. There's no way the full update won't have the beasts, they're even color coded to match the difficulty of the skull enemies for god's sake.
>>
>>5713781
>>5713785
The other three Toa are in the game now, though. There's 15 new levels, Gali, Onua, and Kopaka, and Umarak the Destroyer as a boss. That's it. There isn't really any new scenery like the apocalyptic hellscape or the volcano either. The majority of the levels still only take place within the Maze.

I haven't played all 15 yet, but so far I've seen a comic where the Toa fight Umarak briefly and then he escapes. I've seen another through where LAST YEARS Ekimu walks up to a defeated Destroyer and pulls off his mask, but I doubt that's canon. It's probably just a ploy for the game so they don't entirely spoil the end of JtO.

He looks just a little shorter than the Toa, not half the height.

I dunno what it is about CCBS figures (and also mocs) but most of them aren't photogenic and look WAY better in person.
>>
Have a subline of Bionicle that features mainly mixels joints, with maybe a new joint piece for hips.

Then the sets can be cheaper because they're smaller, masks can be minifig scale helmets, detail will be way higher because of various plates/details, they'll be able to wield minifig weapons and combine much easier, functions are still entirely possible (Klinkers Max has a fucking gearbox), and more diverse body styles would be even easier to create, so Ouna can be the bulky hunchback he's supposed to be and Pohatu and Gali can have their thicc hips.
>>
Were the G1 playsets not well liked? I remember seeing them ages ago on the shelf and feeling they weren't good deals, but the psuedo-Giger look was always appealing.

I picked up the Toa Terrain Crawler last year for a decent price and thought it was pretty neat.

Went to the Lego store today after work to see if there were any sightings of the summer wave, no such luck but I did find last summers skull baddies on sale after that location not even having any in stock for weeks, I picked up the Mask Maker vs Skull Grinder set, Skull Warrior and Skull Scorpio sets for 20% off, which was nice.

Unfortunately true. I've got almost the entire G1 line with nowhere to put them, so they're disassembled and bagged/canned up in five storage totes. They're just too large to have out all at once, and even if you have the space they'll aesthetically look like the contents of a Lego bin. There's so much part and color reuse going on between most of them that they have to be spaced out or else they visually run together.

Lego likes to plan things in advanced, so if the Bionicle was going to get canceled, they would've made the decision at the begging.

I feel conflicted. On one hand, I want to tell you to make it more anthropomorphic with actual thighs and bird ankles where the backwards "knees" are. but, on the other hand, the build is telling me it's following a bird's actual anatomy, even if the pelvis isn't buried within flesh/armor.

Nope, drilldozer is the only set that uses this piece, and the mold was never seen again.

Yeah I'm not confident that it would actually work the way anyone would want it to. Considering how the resin mask pegs have nowhere near the friction of lego's ABS parts I'm not sure that I even want to go anywhere near ball socket stuff.

Even if it was an option it'd probably have to be injection molded due to it's shape and size and I dont' have the resources to do that.

Small Ekimu could fight at once with a bunch of soldiers that gave the Toa a hard time and took them a team effort to beat. And even if you choose to take that promo video of him as non canon, once he got his Mask back he easily one shot a guy who in turn had previously one shot all six Toa.

Small Ekimu is easily at least as strong as 3-4 Toa put together. Larger Ekimu might be even stronger.
>>
>>5716839
We've had a chance to go back to Glatorian launchers (which were ridiculously overused in HF) or Zamor (the mold still existed few years back), but I can see why Lego keeps pushing the six-shooter.

It's relatively small and simple piece, it shoots stuff that everyone has million off, and it can be integrated into almost every single other theme as well.

And I'd rather shove nails down my dickhole than go back to squid launchers, cordaks, tridax pods or nynrah blasters.

You gotta space them out, give them room to breathe. Once your collection gets large enough though you've got to realise that you can't have all of your bionicles on display at once without it looking like a complete mess.

God, I remember TTV wasn't actually that bad when G2 was just coming to the surface. They were the go-to YouTube channel to get the latest news on leaks and promo images, and whenever they did TTVTalks, It'd be purely G2 discussion and speculation.

Not they've gone all "official" due to their spike in popularity and they don't even do leaks anymore. And like>>5716431
said, all they fucking do is talk about shit that's not even related to Lego, just so they have some kind of traffic on their channel.

I got so hype checking for a new video and seeing that breaking news thumbnail. I haven't watched one of their videos in months now. There's no channels left to talk about Bionicle as a story and line as opposed to simply set reviews. Shit sucks, man.

Viper is being fired? Well there went my only reason to watch them on Vessel.

In all honesty though, TTV is pretty shit. Before they moved to Vessel, they moaned how we all should watch the ads in front of their videos to help them out for all their "hard work" and now they moan at us constantly that we should subscribe to them on Vessel. Sorry but I ain't paying 2,99 a month.

They even have a fucking animated Vessel ad in front of almost all their videos and it's cringey as fuck and the first 20 minutes of their podcast is always them sucking Vessel's dick pretty much.

Not to mention the horrible release schedules. The winte 2016 just released and their booktalk videos for a book that released beginning this year have only now started to appear. In their podcasts they sometimes ask each other why someone hasn't uploaded a specific video yet and their response is usually along the lines of: "I haven't finished it." or "Didn't feel like it."

How do they expect anyone to give them money every month with that atitude?
