>>11226666It's here. The mask is tiny and won't fit anything else without modifications, and it uses the same inika build, but it was worth it for the price, considering it's fucking mata nui. I'm going to make a moc with keetongu's parts and his mask someday.
I've been thinking of getting rid of some of my bionicle collection, mostly just the later year stuff I don't have that much attachment to.Most of my shit is pretty well organized and complete in their original canisters, would it be better to list everything individually on bricklink? or just dump everything into a big lot to get rid of it all at once? Not in any sort of rush I just felt like this shit was just rotting in storage.
>>11230184Any collectibles? You should sell collectibles separately, but yeah I'd just list sets on bricklink/ebay. Also what's this timer nonsense it took me like 5 minutes to post this
Makuro is a lost Turaga. Hero Factory is a Bionicle/Throwbots spin-off. Furno is a 420 Canobis Killer.
>>11230184Big lots generally move very slowly unless you price it really really cheap. Like technically any bionicle set could be more parts to someone's collection but people generally don't want to buy sets they already own in a big lot for close to full price. If you list them all separately they're more approachable and you'll get better value but its more work on your end.
>>11230028Always thought his head felt too small yeah, but he's a good little set. Yours looks to be missing bits and pieces, but least you got the core of him.
Kiina has yellow fever
basedI want to collect vintage bionicles and comics
>>11231125>battle of the bionicle beastsif this is the Manas arena fight thing they did I remember going to this, but they paired me up against a whiny younger kid that cried when I won so they said he won and gave him the bigger prize, at least I still got the free mask pack and the promo CD
>>11232151>I won and HE gets the better prize?>What a sick joke!
>>11230028>>11230678I actually prefer the helmet version of the inika desu. It's a little smallish but the actual mask version is really awkwardly shaped.
>>11232151thats fucked uppeak participation trophy era

WHAT THE FUCK
>>11232339>>11232468imagine how I felt when I didn't get the copper Huna because knocking his second mask off took one of mine with it when he kept going, so that means I didn't actually win even though I still had a mask on my Manas
>>11233048Hope that brat got in a car crash on the way home
>remember writing bionicle fanfics 20 years ago>remember fun online community 20 years ago>have creative urge to relive some of that>look around online>every bionicle space has retarded leftists and woke shit and unimaginative manchildrenI’ll just secretly work on a bionicle dnd type campaign I guess and hope someday some friends I make along the way want to play it. I miss the old internet.
>>11233208just wait until you see the dnd community
>>11233208normal people don't care about a childs toyline from over 20 years ago.
I have created unspeakable horrors as a fanfic writerI have no shame leftFor unrelated reasons, did Fatdaka anon ever make a Hahli?
>>11233594yes
>>11233616Do you or someone else have those images backed up somewhere?
>>11233208Don't worry, Turaga Dume just got re-elected. He'll take care of it.

Guy has been uploading Bionicle found footage, including lots of test animations and promo pitches, his entire channel is full of interesting stuff.Don't know if it was posted here yet or not but figured I'd share just in case it hasn't yet.https://youtu.be/_BHUt8igRMk
>>11233962Damn it.I'll have to trawl the web and otherwise hope to god someone here has it all saved.God help me if I have to make her myself.>>11234642I think this is the same video Faber shared earlier this year. Not a bad thing, the more spots it's saved and shared, the better. Really interesting to see the development of the toys though.
any collectorfags here, trying to figure out the best way to display my collection, the Codrex vehicles are gonna be a pain
>>11234798whatever you do make sure to find something that keeps dust off them, it's a massive pain in the ass to clean them
>>11234642based
>>11234808You don't use a makeup brush to help brush the dust off?
>>11233594>HahliNever saw Hahli, but here's Nokama.
>>11235124that's a good idea
>>11235431uh... booba?
>>11235431It's a start; thanks for that!God help me if I have to finish what they started...
What's the best way to get just canisters relatively cheaply? I have just a handful of sets missing their canisters and it's triggering me hard.
>>11235431I remember building a fat Roodaka (?) MOC around 2008 when I was around 12-13. I never actually owned Roodaka or any sets with Vahki heads, but I think it was inspired by Roodaka. I don't remember the head design though. Maybe it wasn't even a Roodaka MOC and I just slapped some random mask on it. But I used 3 Bohrok-Kal face shields as the belly (I don't remember how I managed to put them together to face a belly with my MOCing skills at the time but it probably looked like shit) and Nuva shoulders for the boobs. I also made sure to make the limbs chunky, so I used Vahki calves and Piraka limb armors with Metru thighs. It probably looked like some cursed Inika build with my messy custom shit added on top of it.
This has been triggering my autism for years. The black and red vahki have the wrong eye colors. Has anyone ever swapped them? I only have the black one.
play bionicle heroes! (it's kinda shit, but it has roodaka)
>>11236245hero mode music still lives rent-free in my head
my dream game is Bionicle Souls
>>11236583bionicle zelda with abilities coming from the masks would fit better
>>11236613>>11236583i want a first person shooter, as either a matoran or toa, going through metru nui.
>>11236245I remember 100%ing this back in 06, but I'll be goddamned, I can't play more than probably two missions before shelving it for months at a time now. The repetitive music and gameplay, and the horrid blooming effects since I own it on Ps2 just suck the fun right out of it for me now. It's a shame because there's a lot I like about it. Just can't deal with actually trying to play it.>>11236583See I'd be happy with a sort of Ark/Mnog/Runescape third person hybrid where you have the usual survival, leveling, and building aspect, but with some kind of npcs to interact with and set locations to explore. Being a random Matoran villager, just doing quests and gathering materials to make a fortified living space and tame/fight Rahi beasts on some sort of island, Voya, Mata, or just some new place that offers new secrets to explore.>900 second timerI hate this website. >>11236275
how good are these quality wise? are they as good as a regular lego piece? cause that would mean they are pretty much eternal.
>>11236245The gameplay loop is a major slog, but it has a few redeeming qualities. Removing the auto-aim and invincibility makes it slightly more tolerable.>>11236698The bloom can be easily patched out on PC. The game is less of an eyesore without it.
>>11236817If you mean Bionicle pieces, yes, they are. Lego is a system so everything is compatible with everything. Bionicle sets often use a lot of regular Technic pieces and sometimes even a few System ("regular lego") pieces too. They were made with the same quality standards in mind. However lime colored ball sockets in 2007 and all the ball sockets from 2008 onward til 2010 were notoriously fragile. Which was probably a major contributing factor for the decrease in sales which consequently led to the cancellation of the theme.
>>11236613>>11236659>>11236698I think "build your own toa" should be a core feature of the game whatever it is.
>>11236245>>11236825Bionicle heroes DS is the best version because it's just Quake.
>>11237053with unreal music https://youtu.be/mFqRgmWeU9Y?si=jKppjjXxlLyNoQ2M
>>11236698>>11236825I heard the console game is more fun when you dont upgrade your weapon, that it gives more challenge. Can anyone confirm?
>>11237101maybe if you never upgrade your armor, so you have to avoid shots more, but not upgrading your weapon sounds like it would make the game even more of a slog
>>11237053DS Heroes is kino>>11237101You can ramp up the difficulty on PC with a bit of modding. weapon and enemy attributes are defined using TT's scripting language, which is super easy to edit
>>11236583bonkle musou
>>11236659what kind of guns would you have in that game
Anyone see the new Bohrok? GWP lookin good…
>>11237644>bohwokes mata nui has fallen
i found a image that pretty much sums up what i dont like about g2 g1 side could have better pics though
>>11237688G2 is more sanitized despite G1 being from core anti-violence censorship era of American politics.
i dont think we're getting g3 bros...
>>11236245When I was little I somehow played through this entire fucking game without realizing you could buy upgrades, and I thought the game was fucking impossibly hard.Flashback to like a year ago, I decided to give the game a replay and Nuparu's fully upgraded weapon is so fucking broken literally the only time I ever died was against bosses since they're the only thing his screen-wipe of a gun can't one shot before they can attack you. It was kind of cathartic in a way, I actually was going to try and 100% complete it but not being able to skip cutscenes makes replaying the game just to push one hidden button per level as Vezon too much of a slog.
>>11236583Souls like game which follows a nameless toa (can be any element you want) as it makes its way out the ruins of the matoran universe until reaching spherus magna
>>11238003it must suck on replay, but the cutscenes are half the reason why I'm playinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndi54WgWYho
but what you should really be playing is legend of mata nuihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9bbsvWNs_g
>>11238318WWWWWAAAAAAAAAAEE
>>11236870this was after my time so missed out and was thinking in getting one, didn't expected to be so lore heavy, and to be actually good at that.Figured i could 3D print pieces for cheap if i need to later.
>>11236245this game was legitimately braindead
>>11232567>>11232572>>11232575>>11232577Man I would love an expanded version of the 2006 era after the Inika come to voya nui, because the toa mata felt like they did a lot as mata, the nuva a lot as nuva, the metru a lot as metru, and even the hordika a lot more as hordika but all the Inika did was:. Get into a fight . Meet axon and shoot some matoran’s into being not slaves . Invade the piraka hideout. Go inside a volcano to race some piraka and initiate a boss fightAll this happened in like a dayI mean they did go down that staircase thingy, but that book never got released I feel like voya nui online game should be canonised, there is no reason why it shouldn’t, because it feels right for what the Inika arc should be and what it was advertised as being. Well, it’s my headcanon at least, essentially starting after they meet axon and canon before the piraka hideout invasion (of course I can’t count the last part) because it makes too much sense not to be. Like it’s disappointing playing bionicle heroes as a kid and expecting the Inika arc to be like that, but nah The mahri arc was fucking great though, and I liked the hordika arc story rise because I always been partial to darker gloomier things even as a kid, I didn’t care about the flaws the atmosphere of that arc alone made it among my favourites
>>11238784Yeah, kids game but they made it too easy even for the kids. Would be great to have a mod for the difficulty
>>11237688>2001 soundtrackhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfimnwaZdumgOrLmUavoclQw3AYHfCzpk
>>11236245>>11236659I prefer the ds version of heroes because it's an FPS doom-like, but that might just be childhood nostalgia talking
>>11236698>Being a random Matoran villager, just doing quests and gathering materialsObviously much more basic than what you're talking about, but the start of MNOG2 is literally just this and it's surprisingly fun. Even though all you're doing is repetitive fetch quests between a handful of Matoran in Ga-Koro, having them all move around and interact independently plus the distinct personalities in their five lines of dialogue each does a good job of making it feel deeper than it actually is.
>>11233208Rightwingers called their kids queer for playing with toys over age 10, so thems the breaks.
>>11239157Dead cats pedo
>>11233704the real Dume was actually a good person and spent 1,000 years rebuilding the city with the Rahaga
>>11238792The Inika really only had two books to flesh them out, Legends 3 and 5. Legend 4 was about the Piraka's backstories for some reason. I remember liking that book but most of it was pretty pointless in retrospect and just stalled the story progression.Faber's file leaks revealed that Greg really wanted to focus on the Nuva in the first two 2006 books, while his bosses wanted the Nuva gone. Had Greg listened to them, I think he could have fit the Piraka backstories into the first two books, so book 4 could have been dedicated to the Inika to give them more of a story. In the end, I'm glad Greg didn't just shove the Nuva aside like the execs wanted, but the story and its media could have been planned out better overall.
>>11238808>Tfw in the middle of putting together a Bionicle story guide for my friend, who says he's interested>Include MNOG II, start replaying it just to remind myself what it's like. Grinding is so bad, end up deciding to add a couple tips based around editing your stats in the save file>4/5 Koros defeated, remember that there's an Improvement Mod for the first MNOG, so try randomly searching up "MNOG II Mod">There's a fucking Mod Pack, that among various restorations, changes the stat minigames to give you 10 points each time instead of 1.I'm so mad at myself. This alone makes MNOG II actually playable, now I have to do a second playthrough actually playing it legit. The idea of playing through MNOG II without cheating is a completely fucking foreign concept to me, but I'm kind of excited now to try though.MNOG II is really special to me, it's basically the only official Bionicle... uh, anything, where nothing extreme is happening and nobody's in danger, and you just get to see and explore what the average peaceful day is like.
>>11230020Request for bigger collection having Bionicle anons:Can someone in posession od both black and pearl/metallic black Rahkshi masks take a photo comparing both colors?I bought black one off of bricklink and it looks really off compared to other black pieces I have (like 1/4 the way from black to pearl dark grey), so I wonder if I got the pearl black one by accident, or it's solely because of the piece's texture.Sadly my phone camera hardly catches the difference
>>11239612I only have one black rahkshi mask, but here's a comparison to the other black pieces if it helps
>>11239612The rahkshi black looks more like a satin finish because of the metal flake, whereas the rahaga black is more glossy standard black. It sounds like you got the metal-black version.
>>11239599Oh shit, thanks for mentioning that. I've been meaning to finally play through that thing after getting walled by stuck loadscreens as a kid, this is going to save a ton of time.
>>11240024'course dude, I totally didn't hear anyone ever talking about it.
>>11239864>>11239612Wish they used those pearl colors in more than just rahkshi, I like shiny
>>11239864>>11239945Thanks anons, it looks like I have the rahkshi oneHere's a pic I took that finally shows the differencePlease tell me I'm not the only one to see it
>>11238808Yeah Ga-Koro is great in that game. It's a shame the other koros are so half-assed. If they had limited the scope to Ga-Koro and put the effort they spent on the other koros into puzzles and just things to do other than grinding and Kohlii it would've been a good game. The roof puzzle and the disc throwing minigame from the start are always kind of jarring because they feel like they come from an actual adventure game instead of the the grindfest we got. It would also be nice if there was something more interesting happening than a kohlii tournament story wise but I suspect Templar didn't have much control over that.The one nice thing about the game is the personality. Templar was always good at that and you can tell that as soon as they stopped being involved there was no one left that cared about the matoran or their personalities.
>>11239157Stop raping children.
>>11240589I see it, just yeah its a really specific sort of tell vs other such differences, good luck finding a regular black one
>>11238808MNOG 2 was actually my first exposure to bionicle as a kid. I thought Hahli and the rest of the Ga-korons were all males so when we were pretending to be bionicles in the playground at recess I wanted to be a water-chad, got laughed at, and decided to be an onu-chad instead (it was the only other region I managed to get to in the game)>>11239599>MNOG II is really special to me, it's basically the only official Bionicle... uh, anything, where nothing extreme is happening and nobody's in danger, and you just get to see and explore what the average peaceful day is like.The music in the intro was really ominous so I kept expecting to be ambushed by enemies at some point. The long areas of wilderness with nobody there really scared me as a kid and I vaguely recall some matoran warning you about rahi. Whenever I got the black screen I assumed I got killed by a rahi and died.In hindsight >>11240633The game would have been amazing if they did something aside from the shitty koli minigame. Gathering all the matorans in MNOG1 and holding all the rahi off in the final battle was hype as fuck and they honestly should have done something similar. I remember the first thing you can do in MNOG2 was throw a disk at that water bridge thing, and there was dice roll RNG involved like DND, so maybe RNG combat using discs was originally supposed to be a thing?
>>11233208Yeah I honestly hate how leftists just *have* to be the center of attention and make everything about their bullshit and shame anyone who wants to remain apolitical. It's a weird combo of the modern shitlib desire to virtue signal and the old school leninist "art as a weapon" so they can't just chill and enjoy something and *have* to always push an agenda.I have nothing against trannies but I just wish they would not forcefully make everything about them all the time always.>hurr durr trans allegoryThe few places that havent been taken over by leftists do sometimes have annoying schizo conspiracy theorists and racists but at least that keeps the leftists away.>>11233347I have a job and a gf, I just miss the days of playing bionicles and star wars and yu-gi-oh and PS2 games with my bros>>11233704The >le dume is le orange man badis the least funny meme and I hate how much it infests everything. Literally control+f replacing trump headlines with dume is low effort and not funny and peak trannycore
>>11241300I was really getting fucjed up on that image from the Matoran and Fish vs Boat size thing, kept on looking at the toe holes vs the regular ship holes
>>11236583I would love a hard game with a bleakish tone and many different weapons. But I don't feel Dark Souls reflects how fast a toa would move or how fancy. Especially DS3 where your dude moves and fights like a grandpa while everyone else is right out of Revengeance on cocaine.
>>11241300>at recess I wanted to be a water-chad, got laughed atThat reminds me of the anon who thought he was gay because he liked Gali.

>>11241328I wanna see that post now
>>11241408vnog is repetitive and boring
>>11240633>>11241300>According to Peter Mack, following the Great Tournament, the Matoran villages and kolhii fields would be replaced with "ravaged village squares and battlefields," where the mechanics of the kolhii minigame would be adapted into fights with the Rahkshi. The Crystals gathered by Hahli would aid her in these minigames (though would not have been necessary for beating the game), and she would have sought out the Matoran of each village and lead them to the Kini-Nui. This idea was ultimately never developed due to budget cuts and waning support from LEGO.AAAAUUUGHHHHHH that woulda been so cool, ffs. Why the hell did Lego drop Templar so hard..?
>>11241610AAAAAAAAHHHHWhy havent Templar studio made more games? Imagine an entire series they could do with their own IP
I just found out how easy it is to rip models from ds games, what should I do with this knowledge?
>>11242401Make a Quake mod with them.
>>11242401make a bionicle dating sim

I asked for help in the quake modding discord but so far no replies. I'm gonna just rip all models from the game and post them somewhere, and if I ever figure out how to export to quake I'll make a mod.

Stumbled across someone selling a complete Roodaka für 40 bucks, which is lower than the moon prices I've seen for her. I've not been actively looking for her at all but I've been thinking about collecting the stuff I never got as a kid, is 40 bucks a decent price for her?
>>11243916It's probably covered in the seller's cum
>>11243916$40 in this day and age is a killer price. Double MSRP but you'll never find that kind of deal unless you're lucky. Go for her, she's one of the better titans.

>>11245614Kanohi Hau is always a strong choice.
>>11244062>>11244077Reminder this poster is a pedo
>>11244384>I had never considered the possibility of Asian Bionicle fans in generalThere's a moderate sized Japanese Bionicle MOC community and some of them have even kept up with the online fan contests of recent years. But the franchise's popularity took a hit around 2004 for some reason and Japan pretty much stopped getting Bionicle media after that. They didn't even release the 3rd film.
>>11246425I remember being a kid and hunting down the Japanese Kaita instructions and building them off tiny ass jpegs. Good times.
>>11245976I liked when the lore aspect of Bionicle was a collaborative project of different creative people planning out a story and universe with mysteries to solve and settings to explore. When it was just Greg sitting alone, making up stuff on the fly with no end goal, it felt empty. What's the point of following a story when the writer himself does't care about where it goes?Besides, Greg was just one guy who had his own interpretation of the story and his own writing preferences that shouldn't be taken as gospel. I'm pretty sure the other creators didn't care or even know about any of the stuff Greg wrote outside of the basic main plots. For example in Faber's personal version of the lore, Hero Factory has secretly been a sequel to Bionicle all along.

The number of lewd Roodaka stickers on there is staggering. Imagine wanting to broadcast your shit taste that hard.
What's Faber been up to recently? I stopped following him after the blueballing he did to shill his own crap

>>11246041This. I totally and absolutely reject the north star being a zombie space station where Lhikan's just been hanging out for a thousand years.
>>11245614For me, it's the Bohrok symbol>>11245663Would getting this tattooed on your body be the Bionicle equivalent of getting the brand of sacrifice for Berserk fans?>>11246041Greg wrote some good plot twists but his work feels too much like Dragon Ball Z power level autism sometimes, and we never really got good slice of life after MNOG and MNOG 2's depiction of Mata Nui. The closest was Mahri Nui sets harvesting air weed and having those rahkshi air cows. We never explore the comfy day-to-day life of matoran in any other regions>>11246439I find it interesting how many parallels there are between Bionicle and the old Star Wars Legends Expanded Universe. Both were multi-media story projects involving everything from comics to video games to flash games to novels with all sorts of different authors and attempts to stitch the canon together when two stories dont mesh well. It was SOVL cause it was before everything became formulaic like the MCU
So wait, you're telling me the playsets had alternate builds? Was it only 2005-ones, or did they do these for every year? Are there even proper pics of these archived anywhere? I really like the scorpion Visorak
>>11245976>>11246041>>11246679Again, if you ignore every original character donut steal that Greg invented, you make the lore tons more enjoyable
>>11246613I actually stumbled across it the other day after askingbeen having some good luck importing the models into Blender and getting close looks at themhoping to cook something up with them
>>11247103also I exhausted all other means of extracting the contents such as Apicula and alI I can find inside is sounddata.rom and rom.bin files that are all binaryseems a few people have also tried to crack it open Bionicle Heroes DS over the past decade and a half to no avail
Does anyone have a link to images of beta Tahu? I'm talking about the all black toa with mask of time, one claw and one black fire sword. I tried googling but I couldn't find it.
>>11246439>For example in Faber's personal version of the lore, Hero Factory has secretly been a sequel to Bionicle all along.Where did you hear him talk about this? I love hearing about the original planned HF concepts.
>>11247103>>11247106here>https://files.catbox.moe/6sisx7.zipI think that's all models. I noticed some enemies were replaced by stronger ones as you progressed through the game, even when going back in older stages, so this game a sort of hidden rank system, which made me think there could be more I didn't find yet, but I already beat it and found nothing else. I even unlocked the makuta cheat that makes enemies stronger, but all that does is make them all black.
>>11247354https://www.bzpower.com/topic/36515-rocka-is-fortis-and-other-reveals/>My personal favourite, which would have tied Hero Factory directly to Bionicle, was the reveal that Mr Makuro was a/the Makuta, and secretly operated a Villain Factory beneath the Hero Factory. For every Hero that was produced, a villain was also made, giving Makuta total control of both supply and demand.
Made a moc ussal crab, takea shark, and mnog ruhi fish from a half-complete giga takanuva and some other spare parts
>>11247690very cute crab
>>11247704Thank you anon! I am most proud of the crab. I might change these mocs when I get more pieces off bricklink but it was fun kind of restricting myself to what I had on hand
>>11247723if you have any of those balls with only one hole you should use them for the eyes instead, so they look more round. I don't know if they are rare or not, I only remember seeing them in old sets. if you have a pohatu you can just switch them and no one will notice
>>11247746Oh yeah I should probably get those, and also longer eyestalks. I think they were in a lot of sets so they should be common on bricklink
>>11247690I like these, although the Ussal looks a bit flat, if it makes sense? The torso could use some extra bulk
>>11247670Holy shit thanks anon, just read through and this is sick.Personally i think the idea of "Makuro is evil and was making villains too" is a bit too obvious, but hey, maybe they would've been able to spin it more interestingly had the story team been allowed to go darker, or with the original more sardonic tone envisioned. Or been allowed to develop these characters anything more than they had. Ech.Hey I never got into Ninjago, were the characters in that show as basic as HF's were forced to be? It's so sad to me how raw a deal HF was handed.
>>11247635good shit, anonI'm excited to start fixing up these broken textures and get the models rigged>found nothing elseyeah, unfortunately there's only half of the elements for any given enemy but it makes sense considering cartridge restraints and how short the game is
>>11248125I mean from the looks of it, The textures and models seem simple enough that anyone that has skill in modelling and art can easily make the rest of the elements.
>>11247198Do you mean https://youtu.be/IUKPMu2A72k?t=215?
>>11248056>Hey I never got into Ninjago, were the characters in that show as basic as HF's were forced to be? It's so sad to me how raw a deal HF was handed.I don't know about other seasons but I wathced Prime Empire (2020) back then. I was surprised that it (relatively) had some actual depth, and that they tried to make it engaging and interesting as a standalone TV show, and not just some dumbed down commercial for the toys. They even referred to events and characters from earlier seasons without making stuff hard to understand for new viewers. Sure, it was still a lighthearted kids show, but it definitely had more things going on than the episodes for Hero Factory and Bionicle G2.
>>11248242:3ionicle
>>11248455Alright, thanks; I'll try giving it a shot then. I think I'd only ever watched the very first 7-8ish episodes as a kid, and at the time I thought it was okay, but got kinda pissy that it wasn't [immediately] as deep as Bionicle, and so just never bothered. But if it's got such an enduring fanbase, then I'm certain there's gotta be a good reason for it.
>>11248616It's dogshit. Prime Empire is a stand out alongside Sons of Garmaddon and Hunted, but the rest tends to be dogshit and none of the characters really have any permanent development after Hunted.
>>11248010Hmm yes perhaps it does. I also want to make the shark a bit bulkier. All the gen 1 technic rahi look kinda skeletal. Like how would the takea shark from the master builder set eat anything
>>11248933It all goes into its strong bones :)
Are there any good MOCs of Pewku? Mainly giving him a more solid shell, but I'm also thinking maybe making him a bit smaller? In the movie, it looked like his shell was a bohrok faceplate - perhaps that was based on a prototype for him? Maybe that'd make it more believable for how Lewa was able to carry him, lmao.
>>11248933>mixing graysCome on Anon, you're better than this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5j-sOJHA5I0
>>11248125are you gonna do something with them? like put them in a game or anyhing?
>>11249406>Kurahk, the Angry, which can fill its opponents with angerImmediately made me think of this
>>11249434Lmao
>>11249406Are these being uploaded anywhere other than youtube? I'd like to grab them without YT's shitty compression lmao, they're already lowres enough without that wreaking havoc.
>>11249416I'm lazy as shit but:firstly, I most importantly plan to get them in a nice state for others to easily use for Gmod, SFM, etc. without any setupand secondly, use them for a game idea I've been cooking up for yearsthat original anon's work of testing that bohrok in Quake was enough to get my ass into gear to finally do itif anything ever comes of it beyond written drafts and music, I'll update
https://youtu.be/5j-sOJHA5I0?si=udw4iJnRYGb3Rv-3I love the idea that the Sons of Makuta have been gestating since the Toa arrived on the island and have been feeding off their power in some way. Maybe that's why Makuta let the Toa into his lair and let them become Nuva in the first place. He was making his Rahkshi more powerful the whole time.
Oh my...
>Kennie finally started selling masks that aren't the Hau and Kraahkan>Twice as expensive >Only 3 colors for now I hope they go down in price but either way I will probably buy some. I hope he does masks that arent the special ones or just the red guys too. I never got a mask of time before and now I can finally own one.Is he the only one who does this shit? Ive seen a few on flickr but they only sell stuff sometimes. I tried looking on etsy and nothing looked good and lmao duckbricks holy shit what a scumbag
>>11250531More will come, and prices should go down.
>>11250531oh shit he's making vakama's mask basedhopefully he releases it in more colors
>>11250531These are just test models. Wait til we get more in stock.
>>11250650Dropping mask swapping was a mistake this is awesome
>>11250531Ziontyro has a huge variety of colors, but only a few mask options. Placed an order a couple weeks ago but still waiting for it to ship

Getting back into bionicle for the first time in like 15 years, mainly buying 2001 shit because it was the aesthetic I liked most. Started with the purple Nui Jaga and wanted to build something like a dodo bird. I'm already having the time of my life.
>>112517632001 style Rahi builds are SOVL
>>11250531>>11251742Kennie on Aliex is literally the guy who owns the injection-molder that Ziontyro commissioned these molds from. So that's why they have a nearly-identical selection.Ziontyro's store has lower prices consistently, though it takes way longer for him to restock. He's got a good number of stuff right now, though.Ziontyro's also selling other really useful parts, like the very coveted mixel socket-axle piece, purple Bohrok eyes, and versions of those old titan socket connectors with the vertical holes, but this time without any rubber inserts that age over time, which I find super neat. I just wish he sold them in more colors. Also he has some CCBS parts in rare colors.Another neat thing i noticed, but Kennie's store has some custom lime Inika limbs for sale, but with CCBS-style sockets for stability. Anybody bought those yet? Those seem like a REALLY useful piece, hopefully Ziontyro will be selling them on his store too...
>>11251763Old purple is my absolute favourite thing in Lego.
Heartlights. Yes or no?
