Somehow I don't think it's getting cancelled, you know. Chances are that, worst-case scenario, the Summer waves will just be restricted to Lego Shop/TRU from now on because the baddies don't sell as well.
>>5755211
Nice, I might start MOCing again.

>>5755231
One likely scenario is that last year, particularly the summer wave, didn't do too well, which would explain why people seemed to have more trouble finding the sets at stores this year. But it also didn't do bad enough for Lego to completely give up on the line or think about cancelling it early, so now they're starting to bring out some extra marketing to reach a bigger audience. Lots of people all over the internet kept saying that 2015 wasn't advertised enough, so they might have taken the hint after all.
Might all be completely wrong though, I'm just some dude on the internet posting wild speculation after all.

Also, I fixed my own problem of colour distribution. The 'blocking' is much more competent now and the lack of purple on the lower half is resolved.
Admittedly, it removes some of her more 'wild' poseability but it added so much more personality to the build that I couldn't resist. Besides, it can be removed pretty easily for seated and 'pin-up' poses.
>>5755340
...and I forgot the picture. Here I was thinking I wouldn't do as many posts in succession this time.

Anyone know if there is anywhere i can get a large old bionicle poster like the one in this pic?

The moc is supposed to be female right? It looks fine proportionally and everything but kopakas face is just throwing me off so bad.
>>5755417
Try using Ekimu's protector mask.
The good news is I got a rip of the new Lego Magazine. The bad news is this is is as high as the quality gets. Also it's blatantly obvious they used prototype pictures for this.

What the fuck, does any other Lego theme have this polarized sales.
>>5755410
Kopaka's mask is rounder and on a larger body functions as feminine. Most other masks are too angular - that besides, her previous incarnation used it.
>>5755510
It sort of makes sense, Russia has always loved Bionicle since G1, probably more than any other country. Russia was even on board with Hero Factory. It makes sense that G2 is popular there even if it is struggling in other countries.
>>5755510
You forgot that only Russia seems to be getting exclusive polybags.
>>5755510
They should just let it rest for good.
>>5755410
It's probably just because there are less masks and mask colors in G2 so the Mask of Oce is more strongly associated with Kopaka than in G1 - where you could put any mask on any MOC regardless of its gender really.

Nah. If it's ten times bigger and made by Roa you'll have no change.

Brother!
Whats the best Bionicle movie and why is it Legends of Metru Nui? The animation isn't as good as it looked when I was younger but its soundtrack and story are still pretty good.
>>5756752
MoL: kindergarten version of LotR on a shoestring budget that is pretty embarrassing and cringy to watch these days
LoMN: the way they justified the existence of the discs was kinda awkward and characters still dying from getting barely touched is just as bad as it was in MoL but otherwise it was alright
WoS: grimderp, sorta boring and based on one of the worst years
TLR: didn't give a shit about lore and world building from the get go and was animated by the Foodfight studio
JtO: kinda bland and generic so far with no real mystery, wonder and excitement behind it, resulting in something that feels like as if it was done because the guys behind it had to, not wanted to
>>5756337
Its a cannon.
>>5756340
There you go :
https://www.flickr.com/photos/128340348@N03/15421821564/in/datetaken/
>>5756752
Animation seems unfinished and what the fuck was up with Makuta's multiple reveals as the true villain, but yeah, I probably like it more than the others.
Just all the stuff they managed to cram into it, it really feels like a journey that goes through so many different locations, moods and tones.
But like all the movies, it would have greatly benefited from a much longer running and production time, or perhaps by being turned into a short series than a single flick.
>>5755947
I got that for $1 new, and still feel I overpaid.
My God, this was shit after Web of Shadows.
>>5756889
My biggest issue with MoL and LoMN was that they clearly couldn't decide how the Toa use their powers.
In MoL they used elemental powers a plenty, but not too much of their mask powers. In LoMN it was reversed. They never found the balance.
>>5756894
Yes, that was pretty shit. I know there's this explanation that the Metru depleted their elemental powers in the books but that's never brought up within the movie, so it just feels like handwaving it.
Also a lot of the power-usage on MOL was crap, but I hear anti-violence guidelines had to do with that.
>>5756894
>not too much of their mask powers
Everyone except Pohatu used them on-screen at least once.
>>5756752
TLR > LoMN > WoS > shit > MoL
>>5756892
>implying Web of Shadows is good
>>5757230
It's honestly the best of the Bionicle movies, with all of its quotable lines and character focus.
>>5757233
>thinking your opinion has any objectivism
>especially when most people will contest that they think it's the worst of the Miramax films
>>5757241
It's an acquired taste, but when you get a handle on all the manipulation and backstabbing, the movie earns its namesake.
>>5757241
I'd say Mask of Light is the worst because it's not really self-contained, nor does it make complete sense even for fans.
>starts at year 3 and acts like everyone knows who the Toa, Mata Nui and Makuta are
>doesn't explain the significance of Takua to the people of the island (i.e. it doesn't explain that he's not just a random dork)
>Kolhii is basically hockey but still doesn't do any exposition on it, seeing as it wasn't in MNOG or any material beforehand
>voices don't fit the Toa
>TAKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUA
I do like how Makuta challenged Takanuva to Kolhii, though. It seems like something the devil would do, turn an innocent game into a fight for Mata Nui. Also he's trying to get to Takua for being a Matoran beforehand were the Artakhan Toa never were.
>>5757254
>>>5757241
I'm just gonna butt in with my thoughts.
>starts at year 3 and acts like everyone knows who the Toa, Mata Nui and Makuta are
It's easy to infer that the Toa are the islands heroes. Also, did you forget they showed the legend of Mata Nui in the intro?
>doesn't explain the significance of Takua to the people of the island (i.e. it doesn't explain that he's not just a random dork)
They mention that he's the chronicler numerous times.
>Kolhii is basically hockey but still doesn't do any exposition on it, seeing as it wasn't in MNOG or any material beforehand
It's just a sport they play. That's really all you need to know.
>voices don't fit the toa
I still think they're perfect even to this day
>I do like how Makuta challenged Takanuva to Kolhii, though. It seems like something the devil would do, turn an innocent game into a fight for Mata Nui. Also he's trying to get to Takua for being a Matoran beforehand were the Artakhan Toa never were.
Makuta was fucking perfect in MoL and LoMN, and I agree that challenging Takanuva to a match of kolhii really gave off that "Playing against the Devil to keep your soul" vibe. I wonder if we'll ever get any more of those moments with G2 Makuta.
Honestly, I miss when Bionicle took itself a lot more seriously when it came to its media. Legend Reborn and Journey to One just feel too "kiddish" for my tastes.
When are the last 2 netflix episodes coming? They were supposed to be released in June.
>>5757358
July 28th/29th. I wish they were coming out earlier, but whatever.
>>5757358
Nope, release date is July 29th.
>>5757357
>I still think they're perfect even to this day
You're half right. Kopaka, Gali, and Pohatu are perfect. The other three? Not so much.
What are your views on poaching /biog/?
>>5757714
DELETE THIS
So this is coming along, kind of. Not too sure about the shape of the legs 100%, but the proportions are there. Considering making the arms a little shorter... maybe not. Suggestions?
The feet will need to be wider and larger, but it is capable of standing on its own. My tallest creation so far.
as compared to the previous form... I can see right now that I'm going to have to add some "meat" so it doesn't look so bony. Shit, I'm kind of afraid that I'm fucking this guy up.
>>5756289
I think you know exactly what they're implying
>inb4 TAKUUUUAAAAAAAAA
>>5758017
yeah, looking at the two, I'm having regrets. I guess I shouldn't have bothered. Maybe eventually I'll have something to use that large hand design on that isn't shitty

>>5757502
>Implying Piccolo Tahu isn't top tier
Besides that you're absolutely right.
>>5756867
I liked that one too, but I thought pic related was cooler than both that one and Roas's.
There was this one weirdly slim black one that I thought looked awesome too, but I can't find the pic on the russian forum it was on.
>>5757254
Kolhii wasn't totally out of nowhere. It was in this game, albeit with slightly different rules. It was more like weird 4 way soccer, but the hitting of stones into goals part was the same.
>>5757357
>I still think they're perfect even to this day
Seome of them were fine, but when I heard this guy's voice I lost my 9yearold shit. I always imagined him having a slightly sarcastic voice yet not serious, not some faggoty hippy voice.
Anyone have a link to Roa's moc? it certainly couldn't be that generic.
>>5758141
This one?
Nvm. found the moc. christ that's generic edgelord status
>>5758147
Wait a fucking second are those stormerang pieces in fucking silver?
>>5758151
Six of them.
In 2014.
>>5758164
Like, I can see sucking a few dicks for the pieces from NYCC, but how the fuck do you get them in Silver instead of the Gunmetal color they are molded in for everyone else in the world.
>>5758072
That's the largely unfinished part. It does have a rather nice center of gravity though. I've been looking at human anatomy and articulation in different types of action figures and trying to come up with ways to incorperate them in my mocs.
>>5758147
Is that an illegal connection on the fingertips?
>>5758167
1. be center of circlejerk
2. profit
>>5758164
And of course that was one of the winning MOCFs.
Talk about rigged.
>>5758093
this is rad
I really liked the clown one on eurobricks. Were there any others that weren't edgy demons?
>>5758175
i do believe so
>>5758175
Yes
>>5758187
This was among the three finalists.
>>5758181
According to BZP it is a-okay of course and we are just "jealous"
Has Mask Maker anon made a bricklink for selling the trans gali masks yet or otherwise made progress towards it? Haven't been here in quite a while.
>>5758147
Honestly looking back, I think this looks pretty cool. Beyond anything I could build.
Though, the elbows need obvious thickness and the whole body needs a texture redo with smooth plates.
>>5758364
From a bit further view it looks decent, but the moment you take a closer look it looks more of a cluster fuck honestly, combined that with the shitstorm it caused during the contest, plus the brainless praise/worship the builder got in that lego magazine kinda leaves a bad taste in your mouth overall.
>>5758147
Illegal connection aside whats the problem with this? its well designed in terms of size to articulation atleast
>>5758364
It's your typical "let's slap as much shit as possible onto it until it has the desired shape" large size moc.
Everyone can do that with a big enough supply of parts - you, too.
To me, small scale models that try to use parts in unorthodox ways will always be more impressive since they depend more on the person's creativity instead of his wallet.
>>5758398
With near infinite pieces, not mention prototype parts, anyone could make something like this. And if a builder is given near endless resources there is no need to be creative as you can just slap on pieces until it looks good instead of actually having to use your brain.
>>5758398
I think what got people on the fence is that Roa and other 'prolific mocers' just got a bunch of 2015 parts early, as a viral promo thing I guess? IDK, it shouldn't have been fair game allowing the use of those, but MOC contests are always rich get richer schemes, system or bonkle otherwise.
>>5758450
I hope the next contest that's coming up isn't a MOCing one.
>>5758453
Like the mask photographing one? Yea...because that wasn't totally rigged either.
>>5758417
This
>>5758084
I legit think Tahu from Bionicle: The Game is one of the best voices for the character. His voice in JtO actually isn't terrible either, if only his personality was a bit more... Tahu-y to follow suit.
I've always thought Scott McNeil's voice is too gravelly for how I personally imagine Tahu sounding.
Did Greg commission the artist to draw his futa and rape fetish?
So it turns out even though the knees on Drossel were surprisingly stable for being single pins, the friction wore out after a few months. Whoops.
>>5758714
There was really no way to redo the knees without totally changing the structure of the legs, but lemons, lemonade, and all that. She needed to lose some weight anyway. I also tried to tone down the system use, but it's still only around 40-50 percent technic.
>>5758716
>>5758718
Original for reference. RIP thicc.
>>5758722
Eh I like the old ver. better.
New one has a literally flat chest, could you show a shot of he old ones back?
>>5758147
Honestly the MOC is so clustered I never bothered to care about the prototype pieces. It'd be the same mediocre thing it is with or without them. Use your special-snowflake parts if you feel better.
I wasn't surprised this won the people's vote on BZP, but overall contest winner? Really?
>>5757993
torso and shoulders remain the best parts of this build
honestly those feet are just not good
the hip flaps are a good addition
forearms are cool enough
upper arms are kinda meh
upper legs also cool enough
lower legs are flusterclucky
i cant say i like the feet or the hands
all in all, a version worth building if only to get those hip flaps, keep refining this build please its one of my fav posted to the general.
>>5759057
It hasn't changed much, the biggest change is the legs.
>>5759057
also
>literally flat chest
Still kinda working out the best looking one, but I've narrowed it down to these 3. The nuvaboob was alright for the proportions of the figure, but bigger than what I was hoping. It was kind of unfitting, given the source material, and I used it to pad out a technic quota more than anything else.
>>5759149
I'd Imagine slapping one Obi Wan's shoulder pad would look most like Drossel.
>>5759162
Oh thanks! Can't believe I never thought of that. I need to bl a white one, but it's almost a perfect fit, just need to figure out how to connect it.
>>5759191
While you are at it def order more than one, it'll look more cohensive, smooth and you can get the thighs back.
>>5759191
Thanks for reminding I don't have them either.
BL looks really confusing but with these prices I really don't have a choice.

Also, been trying to recreate this anon's moc because it looks like the main body is based off of regular Kulta's and I'm an unimaginative fuck. I don't understand how they did the trans orange shell spine, and I can't quite connect the front torso shell without going illegal with the connections because of all the crap filling out the sides. I also don't have as many clicky connectors for the fingers, but that's the least of my problems.

>>5759117
Thanks for the critique - I'll keep it in mind. I kinda feel that it's worth pursuing but I'm disappointed with how it's turned out so far. Guess I need to fiddle with Technic stuff a bit more.
>>5759309
I love that "Kulta MOCs" are like a genre of building at this point. The reimaginings I've seen are so creative that the whole trend goes far beyond just the word "revamps."
>>5759464
I would love too see the trend pick up with Basher as well and maybe Slicer. Warriors are just warriors and Skull Scorpio can fuck off.
>>5759477
OH SHIT
>>5759464
Speaking of Kulta, his book is coming out tomorrow. I'm fully expecting another bunch of MOCs inspired by his backstory in the near future.
>>5759493
There better be some grill skellingtons on that underground city.

White's a neutral color, it can go will with everything.

Only if it's a brown dude walking through a snowy area.

Ah, she returns! Nice to see you're still alive dude.

I'll second >>5759162 because his suggestion is extremely sensible and workable. I'll also support those saying Bricklink nowadays is no hassle. The UI is literally just shinier than it used to be, most of it still works in the same way as it used to.
Not only this, but the Wanted List feature has been greatly improved on; not only is it now a million times easier to find the parts you want, but you can go so far as to directly input LDD models into Wanted Lists! Although the LDD update a little while ago messed this up a tad, it's still otherwise almost entirely functional.

how much white we talking?

and that's all that's fit to post.

I didn't mean to do a mean face, it was supposed to just smile.
As for your masks, love the texture you gave them,gives them personality.
Speaking of Kulta... this dude needs better legs. Any suggestions?
>>5759636
I didn't take it as a "mean face."
Here, ":^)" is used to denote insincerity and other forms of shitty verisimilitude.

This is how my skeleton lady looked like before kicking the bucket
I know the contrast is trough the roof.
Here's his prior form, which I'm using as a template for what I want him to look like. Like a bigger version of this
>>5758147
Akutahn is a fine moc, way better than anything I've ever made, I just dont think it was the best.
>>5758204
I thought Terrorbite was badass, I just dont think he feels like a bionicle villain, which was the prompt for the contest.

After she died she gained some weight and guns.
>>5759667
I never got that argument considering there are already lizardmen/reptilians in g1.
>>5759667
Still better than going with the generic Makuta typing. I mean it could have worked if we ever had world building on Bota Magna with the cyborg dinos, but without that it does stick out.
>>5759679
The style of the torso and head were too cartoony, almost Dublo like.
>>5759642
Oh...my bad, I wasn't aware of that.
>>5758093
Aha, Found it!
I really like this one. The build is so smooth and sinister looking. I thought he really stood out from the other mostly humanoid entrants
>>5759710
Took long enough to find the other arm, not that good angle and It likely hurt it's changes. At least I overlooked it the first time.
>>5759309
Guy who made it: I'd totally help you out and take pics of how I built it, but I pretty much took it apart right after uploading the pic in the last thread. Sorry.
Hopefully you figure it out, fellow anon.
>>5759477
does anyone know who's the artist? Google and iqdb and sourcenao gave me nothing.
>>5759757
They were only posted in here, it's your miss if you didn't save them. The dA profile was just full of Touhou garbage.
Anyone have the book yet?

He put the hand piece through the bottom of the foot and stuck a peg through it.
So in an effort to get rid of some of the white pieces in my inventory I built this. Hastily written backstory in 3...2...1.
>After billions of Matoran refugees entered Makuhero city, fleeing from the resurgence of Makuta on their world, their culture began to intertwine with ours. So when it was announced that Akiyama Makuro had green lit a project to essentially weaponize Toa, there was controversy abound. However, upon the battlefield deployment of a Toa/Hero hybrid, those dissenting voices were silenced.
>Velak Bowie (surname given by Hero Favtory Technicians) was the first of these hybrids, and actually a volunteer - he had found a Toa stone while fleeing Bara Magna, making him a prime candidate. The stone transformed him into a Toa of Ice, granting him powers over the element as well as X-Ray vision from his Kanohi Akaku. And that's before Hero Factory gave him an upgrade. Powered by two hero cores on his collar, Velak is faster, stronger, has quicker reflexes, and has an advanced healing factor beyond that of any hero on record. Hero Factory's enhancements also granted him a stronger intellect, making him a brilliant tactician and problem solver. The only noted detriments appear to be a loss of interpersonal communication skills - rarely does Velak speak unless spoken to, and humor seems to fly over his head.
>>5760268
>The Kanohi Akaku grants the wearer X-Ray vision. Hero Factory's upgraded version of the mask offers that, and more.
>The advanced Akaku has a powerful zoom capability, with targets up to 5 miles away able to be viewed clear as day through the blue lens. A heads up display, wirelessly linked with the firearm that the user is wielding, also allows the Akaku to pinpoint with 99.7899% accuracy where the shots fired will land. As well as offering infrared and Heads up display, the new Akaku also allows the ability to redirect stored heat energy in load bearing couplings across Velak's body into a powerful, concentrated, and precise laser blast. This ability can not be used for too long, though - its strength depends on the heat stored, and using the beam continuously for too long will fry the circuitry within the Akaku's advanced scope.
I never really had many Bionicles. Found a box the other day in my basement, and built this with the parts I did have. Any suggestions for good ways to get a wide variety of parts for future building?
>>5760289
>>5760287
>However, ancient texts in Matoran culture describe the Toa at their most powerful when they're using their elemental weapons. Seeing this, Hero Factory engineered two ice blades for Velak to use - these channel the elemental energy to freeze objects to an incredibly brittle, glasslike state, as well as shooting concentrated beams of ice from its tip.

Fuck forgot pic

Parts lots on eBay are always a good way to go. Aside from that you just have to get sets one at a time and accumulate parts as they come.

Are we posting Kultas now? I did this with mine the other day after reading that first chapter of the new book, it's basically Logan McOwen's Skull Sorceror.
>>5759760
shit
Do you have the DA profile?
I looked through a bunch of /biog/ threads on various archives, all kinds of reverse image search, even looked up the bionicle tag on DA. Doesn't seem to be the jojo bionicle guy either. Actually, I can't even find pictures of the original moc it's based on.
Quick! Post some good Helryx MOCs. I want to make one myself but need some inspiration.
>>5760344
>TFW Kulta is My favorite current gen bonkle
Giant terminator devil was something I didn't know I needed until I got him.
Just got a TRU flier with "Free $14.99 Bionicle figure with any $40 Lego purchase" with the Skull Army as the image. Obviously trying to unload them, which kind of sucks, I like the Skull Army. I picked up three Warriors as grunts, should I pick up a fourth Warrior or get the Skull Scorpion, which I've avoided because it looked like the worst of the Skullies?
>>5760470
On one hand you kind of get diminishing returns on Skull Warriors the more you have, but on the other, no point in getting another scorpio if, you know, you don't even like it. Always useful to have a spare for the combiner though.
>>5760450
>>5760470
I have one Scorpio in my collection (albeit, modded with actual legs) and I feel that's all I need. It takes up too much space for a single unit and is too resource intensive to make it satisfy my personal tastes.
You could get it for the parts or for the combiner, but otherwise get anything else.
>>5760477
>diminishing returns on Skull Warriors
I built one Warrior like normal, then did a reverse build for a left handed Warrior, and the third weilds his spear with his bow on his back. I could do a fourth as a reverse build but also holding his spear. I like that they're sort of these giant fantasy terminators, and I think they make cool giant monsters for the normal minifigs to fight.
I haven't picked up any Scorpios, it's the only Skullie I don't have, actually.
>posting Kultas
I want in.
>>5760516
I lucked into a cheap four-pack of them on eBay so I have a squad of five. Three blue ones, a purple one, and a red warrior which dons my golden skelefuckers mask.
>>5760553
That sounds awesome, mang. Post pics if you can.
I love the gold skull mask.
I'm dump some big guy Kulta's I've made this year.
Walmart app told me that Copac and friend were $5 at my local store. Didn't find it, but got pic related for $4.
Anyone have the new book?
>>5761012
A few people on the TTV boards have the digital version, but they haven't posted much info so far.
