2007-9 Bionicle be like

>>10955284
The mistika makuta looked nice, the Toa all looked like garbage. Too much silver and the masks look like ass.
The 08-09 vehicles were cool though, I wanna do a moc based off of those.

>>10955304
I always found it crazy how similar Xeno and Bionicle are. At the very least Xenoblade 1

>>10955284
if the masks hadnt been so oversized I think many people would have appreciated the toa more. but coupled with the fragile joint issues of the day I can see why many dislike them even now. I still remember being surprised to find out these guys were meant to be the toa mata and not just a new set of toa. at the very least the makuta were fun like >>10955306 pointed out.

Got my package today! Here it is! The Ultimate Dume! Took awhile to build, and it's finally done! Pictures can't do this set justice, you gotta see it in person to appreciate how big this thing is. This has to one one of, if not the biggest G1 sets Lego ever released for Bionicle.

>>10956038
combiners are in just such a weird spot for "being the biggest", like the kardas dragon is "bigger", but there are no unique parts. At least dume over here has an exclusive mask

I have this along with botar. I love their massive size.

>>10955284
it's not even that bad, it's only the fact that they're supposed to be the toa nuva that makes people hate them so much

>>10956038
How much?

>>10956138
I spent $120 on it. It came with the box and everything, so not a bad deal if you look at the current prices on BrickLink.

>>10956038
Whenever I see Ultimate Dume, I just think about how their knees and lower legs must be crying out in pain.

>>10956170
Yeah, his legs are wobbly as fuck. Took me forever to get in in a pose that didn't buckle his knees. I can see why later titan sets had pistons installed on their legs.

>>10956170
Combiners usually have wonky proportions, but with this guy I think the lankiness really works. Enhances the uncanny look.

>>10955070
So in the Powers that Be continuation, what exactly is the virus thats them undead?

do you prefer the gold vahi or orange vahi?

>>10956390
Gold since it looks better. The orange one just looks like a hunk of cheese.

>>10956390
orange is awful. Maybe if it was dark orange

>>10956390
Orange all the way
The gold has that soft flakey quality that you get with the 2003-2005 axle masks (and bronze-gold pieces in general). The orange is still softer than the other 2001/2002 hard plastic stud masks but it's a lot more durable and you don't get big conspicuous stress marks on the cheeks just from leaving it in a part box.

>>10956390
Orange.

Good lord these combiners are atrociously designed. It's really the only bad thing about this year is that the Inika and Piraka combiners suck ass. Thank the Great Beings they immediately fixed it the following year.

>>10956786
>>10956709
Never understood the dislike for the Vezok/Thok one. That one I made as a kid and I always thought he looked cool. The DNA for Irnakk is clearly there, but it's still unique enough. Honestly that one and the Avak/Hakann ones both could pass off for Rahi of some kind. Zaktan one could just be a random Skakdi.

which is the better pick of digital building software, bricklink studio or stud.io?

Most of the later combiners really suffered from having no good parts to work with. There's only so many ways you can peg an inika/piraka torso together, and these sets only ever came with like 2 axles and 5 pins.

>>10956709
These combiners are ugly, but that's why I kinda like them. It's fitting that the Piraka are ugly when together.

you can make out some actual pieces in this concept like bohrok pieces and toa canister lids, but they probably won't work in real life

>>10957435
oh shit my mistake. I assumed they were different programs.

>>10957575
I always disliked that about a lot of the early licensed lego games. They never tried to make things in the game look buildable, they always just mushed 3D models together and didn't give a shit.

>>10957575
You might be able to use those canister lids as parts depending on if you can stick 3l bars through the holes or not. Pins might be able to go underneath the center too, but I'm not sure if you'd have any friction from them or not.

>>10955132

2008 was the best year for story content.

Correct take on the angleshittery, though.

>>10957408
>>10957948
I think Irnakk's secret is all the balls stuffed into him, it kind of tricks you into thinking there's more going on with the build than just a couple of piraka torso's stuck together.

Dumb little question, what's one set you saw in person that you regret not getting?

For me, it's when I was in Spain I saw Vahki sets with the included Vahi, and I didn't get any of them. I instead bought a big tub of Bionicle parts, which was a great purchase, but I still regret never getting the Vahi.
Honorable mention goes to Mallum who I thought looked really good, but my logic was that since he was my favorite I'd save him for last. I never found him again. My mom also offered to buy me Toa Mata Nui but I declined.
It's not really a regret though, since I was never a big fan of the set itself, despite the rarity of the mask.

Q for anons:
Know any good Sexy Bionicle accounts on Instagram, Twitter, or DeviantArt to follow? :3

>>10958447
I really regret not getting more Glatorian sets because, when writing fanfics and whatnot, being able to build the characters I create is a big part of my enjoyment, and I really can't create many Glatorian or Agora MoCs without the heads. Plus, a lot of the armor pieces from that period of BIONICLE are really good.

>YouTube still has a proclivity towards making fake movie trailers of sequels yet to come out
>Some young punk from United States uses artificial intelligence and makes an Oscar-winning capedung movie
>Now people are finally sick of the good-guys-always win superhero movies
>The Lego Batman Movie Trilogy finishes at last. Suddenly Warner Bros. is revealing their new cashcow. Because people are sick of the ratty, old MCU, a Bionicle: Protodermis Trilogy comes out that leads to a Bionicle Shared Extended Universe. It's my dream
>Dream ends with the death of the ratty MCU and the pukey DCU, everyone is sick of superhero puke stained Hollywood. Chill 2000's toons get their own movies on the big screen

This dream is just telling me a simple message. (1) G3 would make $2,938,928,398,392,090,080,124 in shill dollars. (2) The best intellectual property film-makers have today is the 5th, 6th, and 7th Bionicle movies
they haven't made yet. One Anon said it best: "Lego hates money." When I'm sitting around talking about movies, I say "Jon Favreau," but it just comes out as The Butterball. When I say, "Kevin Feige," I stammer and end up saying: Pornogulina McPeePeeTrickle. These guys don't know what they are doing. In conclusion, Hollywood is falling to ruin.

I usually put them in plastic pressure lock or zip lock bags. It's fine if you don't overload your backpack. On occasion small pieces like individual fingers might break, had that happen a couple of times over the years. If you're a bit more careful than me, it should be fine. Your figures might partially disassemble tho. You could take off limbs and carry them in a bunch of Bionicle canisters if you wanna be extra safe.

If you mean it being a system construction figure, we've had those for a while now, and even if Bionicle returns it shouldn't be in these type of premium priced packages but in something smaller and cheaper to make sense for it to exist.

The stuff in your pic is custom, not prototype.
As for where people acquire prototypes: Generally they initially find there way out of the factory in the hands of Lego employees. From there the employee may sell them (though not publicly because they'd get in trouble), or give them to their kids whose collection someday gets sold, etc.
Also, Lego gave a BZP staff member (Black Six if I remember right) a bunch of proto parts which were then raffled off to BZP members
