"Bionicle sets can only be bought Toys R Us and Lego.com now...it's ogre"
Old thread >>5721348
does anyone have the build someone made of all the creatures combined in to one form. I think they nicknamed it pendragon?
>>5730434
>no more bonkle
Wait what? Is this true? Is bonkle getting discontinued?
I unpacked my G2 sets and I need to organize them again. How should I do it? By size, color, year, etc.?
>>5730590
Unknown. Anyone else that tells you otherwise is a rapist.
>>5730603
Thanks. Ausfag here, i heard that we won't be getting some of the newest sets, is this true?
Post classic Bionicle images
>You will never again buy a bunch of mask packs at the store and open them up once you get home
>>5730628
I actually bought four unopened g1 mask packs at the beginning of the year. It was about $40 AUD with shipping. Totally worth it. Can't find the photos i took, but i was pretty happy with the masks i got.
The packs would have been $3-5 AUD each in 1999(?), so i paid about twice the original retail price, pretty good if you ask me for a 16~ year old unopened toy.
Link this thread in the old one
What did they mean by this
>>5730605
Myer is supposed to have them in the next 2 weeks
>>5730434
>"Bionicle sets can only be bought Toys R Us and Lego.com now...it's ogre"
The source was the equivalent of his uncle that works at Lego. The idiot did it for views. Until there's any proof of the line being cancelled, assume it's not.
>>5731000
Absolute bargain senpai
>>5731031
Well, they're still not on Amazon...
Bionicle is getting canned and will be replaced by CCBS Galidor, trust me, I'm BZP's admin
>>5731309
Don't believe his lies, I'm the true BZP's admin and it is not getting canned
CCBS Galidor might be a thing though
>>5731309
>>5731313
Cut it out.
>>5731340
>says the weeb
Ayyy
I remember that weird black and purple galidor dude with all the ratchet joints. I popped his head on fucking everything
Does anyone have a way to display the Skull Spiders and Shadow Traps? They're taking up too much space on my shelf and I figure I could just make a rack or something.
>>5730434
The line getting canned seems about right. Well over half the time the sets look like garbage to mediocre at best, and mediocre sets will lead to mediocre sales. Not to mention they haven't done great with marketing, maybe then they could get stupid kids to buy shit like the skull spider or quake beast. Lego has nobody to blame but themselves, and fans could be more vocal about the declining quality rather than accept what we are getting. I shouldn't have to buy more sets/pieces to improve the quality of the ones I'm buying. Not happy the line seems to be on its death bed, but I'm not surprised.
>mfw I go to walmart and target and there literally no bionicle. not even the previous wave.
Finally got around to buying the magazine today. Still hilarious that mini-scorpio has more leg articulation than the real thing.
>>5731245
Last year's summer wave only came out in August. It's entirely possible that only some retailers are getting this one early and the rest will add the new sets at the usual time.
>>5731837
>go to target
>fuckoff huge sets from two (one?) years ago are BACK on shelves (???)
>still listed for MSRP
>I don't earn enough money to buy shit like that anyway
Made some minor detail tweaks on Quake and Storm Beast.
>>5731837
Same with all the ones around me. And I've been checking since the 3rd. I figured they may be getting shipments in late but almost every Wal-Mart and target around me just has some uniters and beasts and a shit ton of UtH.
Finally went to my nearest Toysrus and they had all of the newest wave with only one storm beast though. All of the older sets and some uniters were on clearance. But wave 1 toa weren't which was weird.
My local Wal-Mart also did a clearance on the United wave and I got some more of the beasts for 1/2 off which was pretty neat.
>>5731888
You should resize your pictures before posting the others.
>>5731888
>>5731895
>>5731898
Covered the back without blocking the puppet gimmick, making it look like crystals are growing out of the back.
Anybody got instructions/parts list for that promo scorpion?
>>5732030
Just look at a picture of it and if you have even the most basic understanding of CCBS it's glaringly obvious what parts are used.
>>5732030
>>5732133
>>5731637
Get some of those packs of display cob webs for Halloween for the Skull Spiders. The Shadow Traps could probably do the same or go on a mini shelf.
I just threw the Skull Spiders in a box and just have Skull Slicer and two more moc Skull dudes using the other two colors of Skull Spiders, though.
>>5731649
much as I agree, I feel like the line deserves another chance. I'd like to believe they were heading in the right direction with the inclusion of technic the last two waves, just didn't get the right results. I'll probably keep buying the sets regardless, I just really want Bionicle to do well, could be the nostalgiafag in me, idk.
Just got storm beast... My only complaint is that he is incredibly hard to pose
>>5732535
git gud
>>5732549
Something Nocturnal or even a pig maybe?
Is Umarak the Hunter still acceptable in these threads or is it just for the summer sets?
>>5732921
Some detail on the back.
>>5732924
I don't know why these pictures are rotated, but the shadow trap on his ribs detaches
>>5732925
Go get him, boys

And post what ever you want. We need more moca anyways

It's nice but unfortunately you are using G1 hand pieces on a G2 MOC and that's triggering me
>>5732948

>tfw no Bonkle here yet
They're on S@H, but that doesn't count.
>>5730628

Who /builtcanistersetsinthebackseatofthecarontheridehome/ here?
>>5733043
no doubt
>>5733043
I remember this happening with Inika Jaller and maybe original Pohatu but that's so long ago I don't really remember.
>>5731000
I have that set. 9/11 needs more manage.
>>5733227
Fucking typos.
Has anyone made a G2 Boxor?
>>5733282
http://imgur.com/a/iXjUr
>>5733293
I like it!
Took me a while, but I finally re-jiggered Quake Beast to look acceptable without compromising any of the original figure's features.
>>5730434
>>5733399
>>5733381
you should show how it looks as a whole
>>5733478
Look at the post directly above it
Hey /biog/, I bring you a picture.
>>5733497
Bleh, I'm an idiot. That looks great, and I don't say that easily. The modifications looks coherent and while I didn't look at the structure in details, I would have prefered this look in the official set.
>>5732948
You use Grevious' general frame for that build? Not too shabby.
Honestly part durability can get fucked, transparent crystalline blades would have made this year's sets a thousand times better looking.
>>5733576
Could they bring back those rahkshi pieces?
>>5733655
It would be interesting to see it return
>>5733655
They brought back Vorox armour, but that was used as recently as Hero Factory's Von Nebula. Rahkshi thighs haven't been used since the Kikanalo iirc
>>5733670
Vorox armor was used on Speeda Demon's bike.
>>5733679
Ah, I didn't get a lot of the larger HF sets. In that case it's technically part of CCBS, or tenuously linked to it.
>>5733043

How many MOCs does /biog/ have?

I need it.
>>5733817
not as many as you but still a lot
>>5732949
That horn configuration actually makes it just look like they're part of the mask now. (As they're supposed to)
I'm curious as to why Lego didn't just do it this way.
>>5734101
Here's a crude image of the construction I used. Lego didn't do it because for whatever reason they wanted the jaw not to open or close.
>>5734158
Mind posting a pic with the jaw closed? And even with the jaw still connected to the head they could've gone without the extra pair of technic beams making the horns farther away from the mask.
>>5734193
I put away my lightbox, but here's a raw picture.

Tahu Nuva, was never really crazy about him until now and I'm not a fan of the nuva line.
Almost puked from the motion sickness.

Only a few with some on display, others in storage. Might get them all out for a group shot this weekend.
>>5733817
15 + 5 really simple mocs

Nice. I'd like to see the group shot.
>>5734686
I admire your Rahkshi grill on the right and your Bohrok Kal. They're fantastic.

It's rather an insect really. The wings are just kinda hard to see sometimes.

Mine was a Slizer and I'm 19, gonna be 20 this October.
>>5734836
You just reminded how one Christmas I got 5 Slizers and 2 Roboriders but I couldn't build any of the official combo models
>>5734840
DID SOMEONE SAY "COMBO MODELS"???
>>5734839
Yo same, except 20 in January.
>>5734836
My folks orchestrated the christmas of 98 so that everyone got me a slizer as a present, completing the wave. Funnily enough I lost complete interest in the second wave in 99, but I managed to acquire them since. Although my sub/scuba still needs a new rubber tube piece.
>>5733817
Do revamped HF and Chima sets count too? If I count those in too the number reaches 55 if not then just 39.
Finally got the pieces to build Ekimu's falcon and the accessory pack to have the cape on him too
Also did some torso filling for Lava Beast
>>5734910
>>5734906
>tfw the remaining parts I need for Scorpio and falcon were shipped yesterday
They can't be here soon enough
>>5734906
>the accessory pack to have the cape
Niiiice.
>>5734927
Hey that's pretty good!
Made some mods and I'm pretty happy how they turned out
>>5734933
Just needs boobs
Here's lava beast
These are all first drafts, so they'll probably be changed throughout the summer
Aaaaaand quake beast.
>>5734927
>>5734843

>>5734927
>turn his mutant crystalline arm into a weird HF drill
stop
>>5734889
Well I counted my revamps as mocs as well, so why not?
>>5734990
>>5735005
55 it is then, technically 56 as one revamp (Panthar) is in plan but not in building phase yet.
>>5735015
That is very clever but at the same time couldn't you find a better way to attach it to the arm?
I was pretty disappointed when the combiner turned out to be just Umarak with a larger waist and new fingernails so I made my own one:

2/2 There were a couple more bohrok and rahkshi that I took apart, already have plenty. Sorry for the crappy pics btw.
>>5735515
Yeah I know, and there's a lot of shit. Surprisingly only a few of the lime sockets were really bad, I'm not fussed.
>>5735501
a little bit, yeah.
Do you guys keep your cardboard boxes or is that autistic? I have some old-ish ones, but they're in the way, and I want to know if I should give them to someone who wants them or just trash them.
>>5734676
these are pretty dope, nice work famalam
i'd like to see more of the ice planet dude
>>5735639
it's pretty autistic, you know damn well you're not putting shit back in those boxes
>>5735660
Oh yeah, there was never any doubt in my mind whether I would be using them again, but I was wondering if anyone else would find them desirable.
>>5733381
could you show the back? is it just the same gearbox?
>>5735703
It's the same gearbox, just moved one peg to Quake Beast's left.
>>5735712
thanks babe
>>5735704
So here's the difference between Sand People and Canada geese, one group is a bunch of vicious monsters who yammer incoherently and will murder you as soon as look at you...the other is tribe of Tusken Raiders.
Small update on the this gal, since I've bought Storm beast for the 4M armors, and our posts have been deleted. I hope to get the kunai tomorrow to complete the chain "hair"
>>5735222
gonna need to see how you built that, boss
Damn, its a ghost town of deleted posts in this thread. So many dead links it's like pic related.

>>5733402
I spent about 3 days on and off doing this.
even if I'm not super sure I got it 100%, I can barely notice it IRL.
I must ask though. is there a better method of doing this other than an Eraser?
>>5736337
Nail polish remover probably would've gotten rid of it all within a couple minutes.
>>5736373
last time I tried Nail Polish remover, it ate the plastic. was it a bad brand or mixture?
>>5736337
High-grade alcohol and let it soak a bit, or get a Gundam eraser marker.

If I ever find it, you can bet your ass I'm going to wear it every single fucking day. Shit was so fucking fun. I remember it had a button you could keep pressing that would emit laughter, and the more you pressed it the highter the laughter sounded.
Fuck, this is gonna haunt me forever now. I don't suppose any of you guys have one you're willing to part with?
>>5736663

Hope the quality is good enough.
Any opinions on how to go about making a starved-looking wendigo themed Umarak the Hunter?

Thanks!

Well fuck
>>5737226
I'm planning on ordering at least one Beast from S@H this month because I love the fountain freebie, and the sets aren't here yet either. I heard rumors that Ekimu, Umarak and LB are here next month and SB and QB maybe never. At least I got QB from Lego Store already.
Also I got one BL order today but it wasn't the one that had remaining parts for scorpio and falcon. Fucking hell.
>>5737063
I have a picture of a Waldschrat moc, does that help in any way?
I hope I'm not bothering anyone, but... I got the kunai, so I wanted to take a picture or two with them. I'm not 100% certain it looks good at the end of the chain, but they work quite well as weapons. Also, the scarf now has mixel joints in it to make it poseable.
I've got nine kunai total to use as weapons, so I'll try to make something to hold them on her waist, but for now, I'm just having fun.
I stopped by Bricks and Minifigs today - it's this independent secondhand Lego chain - and picked some stuff up today - I threw is thing together to showcase some cool parts I got.

Nice catch with the mask anon, good job.
>>5737354
How much did you pay for the mask? I'm thinking of getting one for £15
>>5737358
That mask is worth £15!?
>>5737363
Oh, it's worth a lot more
>>5737356
Thank you very much ! I'm pretty happy about how the scarf turned out, and I can't wait to get the pieces to finish it, I hope I'll get them tomorrow. Also,finally found a good way for her to hold more kunais.
So I just found out about this pice having thicker connection points. Anyone use these for custom heads?
>>5737381
I rather like the clip point, I find it pretty useful.
>>5737352
this thing reminds me of Overman XAN in the best ways.

>>5736448
I don't think these things will ever be seen ever again. shame too.
though honestly, I'd like to see those KO Protector sets.
>>5735222
There's no fucking way that Devil Umarak (tm) uses JUST the pieces from the beasts...how many duplicate sets did you buy?!
>>5737358
The mask was in a "Pick your Brick" bin - my store let you fill a small bag with pieces for like 20 bucks.
>>5734906
move those Gold-Ice Crystal pieces to the lower legs. big crystalline boots.
>>5737462
I put it on the thighs to not have it so thin looking because of the black bone piece and trans-blue shell.
>>5737469
Replace the black bone piece with a trans blue bone piece, then.
>>5737466
Well I don't have every single set. yet. plus. I don't even have the space for something that fuckhuge.
>>5737473
Don't have any on me at the moment.
>>5737141
Never though of the hunched back, thanks.
>>5737313
That's certainly inspirational, but what I have in store is going to be thinner, the current arm I have is one module wide with an armor shell covering some of it. Also, the rib cage in the pic looks a bit overdone; there should be some blank space between the ribs and pelvic area IMO
>>5737365
I know, I wanna buy the £15 one but my bank card had to be destroyed and it'll probably be gone by the time I have a replacement
>BZP actually doing something it should

Let's hope they won't fuck up the editing.
>>5737762
>like two weeks late
Replacing the black and gray bones with trans light blue bones works best
Back view. Even the arm function works well.
>>5738233
the armor pieces you used for the lower legs are suboptimal in either number or placement
if you're gonna use four of those gold parts then don't face them all forward. Or if you want all of the parts to face forawrd, don't use four of those gold pieces
>>5738233
Those hockey pads are worse than 2015 Kopaka's.
>>5737762
I bet that he's not even going to ask about sales or the future of Bionicle and if he is, those two employees are gonna give a none answer.
I need inspiration for a thing. Mind posting any Vakhi MOCs you guys like?
Is there any good way to make wings that are good looking and function or is that too much of a challenge? Wanting to make a figure with angel like wings.
>>5738427
Do you have a picture of the kind of wings you have in mind? I'm sure something can be done.

>>5738902
Also more pics of the IP mech anon requested.
>>5738920
Fucking neat.
>>5738920
god i love that rough 90s look
i think the appeal of old bionicles was that they were a little bit rough and clunky
they're so polished and refined now
>>5738953
They new Bionicles look too much like action figures as opposed to something you built.
>>5737404
Oh, I didn't recognize it at first since I've never watched Overman, but I do have the Revoltech of the main mecha, the white counterpart to the XAN. Also, thanks, I'm glad you like it !
>>5738966
Isn't...That the point?
>>5738990
Yea, that's the point of new bionicles
The point of old one's was to make something that looks mechanical, mysterious and slightly rough
>>5739001
The point of the old one was to be one last ditch effort for Lego to become profitable again.
>>5738920
I just wish Faber would release some form of story bible of Slizers.
Granted, the story was just "good guys and bad guys and then there's badder guys", but there's still so much unexplained
>>5739006
I mean aesthetically obviously
the reason it was successful was because of how different and "cool" it looked at the time
that and the incredible amount of planning and real inspiration that went into it
>>5739022
Faber was posting some real quality shit for a while. A lot of the old concept art and details he gave were fantastic.
Plus stuff like the fucking dooheads video.
It was pretty consistent for a while and then he posted that he had found a bunch of old stuff. It settled down almost completely after, and he mentioned a meeting with Lego.
Makes me think they told him to chill out with posting so much.
>>5739032
It's less that and more that they are planning to open an exhibit in the lego house, for which his old content is pretty much ideal.
>>5739045
will anyone that doesn't go there ever be able to see it?
i worry about that
>>5739059
Your guess is as good as mine! There will probably be some coverage of it when it opens.

That's not too surprising, considering.
Most of the Lego-themes have most of the concept art documented very well. Hell, even the G2 design team has that book of G1 stuff. But I doubt that everything is neatly organized. They could be spread all over.
But with Faber, most of it is with one guy, and a guy who had pretty strong grip to the concept. Also Bonkle is pretty important theme for Lego as a whole, despite what other people say. No one would give a rat's ass about Faber files if it were about Knight's Kingdom 2 or something
I finally did it, guys.
I've created a MOC with a gear function that has that classic Bionicle vibe.
It took me so much frustration and rebuilding, but I've finally achieved my goal.

And the best part is, it has a working gear function.

Depends. Are you willing to send it to Black 6?
