>wake up>still no Gen 3
I haven't kept up. Any good new parts for builds that have dropped in the last year? I feel like Lego's done an okay job still making bits that fit into constraction.
>>11291964Will be rare for a while but a very interesting mixel to technic connector was spotted in an upcoming set for March (Image is from applied patents by Lego, rest are coming down the line as well)
>>11291702>still no big tiddy rahkshi gf
>>11291702How is Gen 3 going?
>>11291998Oh FUCK that's a nice piece. Same with the 2L liftarm with axle, those are going to be game changers.>>11292014I think we've been bamboozled. Or it was scrapped. My hope is gone, so I'm going back to my old project: updating the Skull Fuckers
>randomly come across the mask of control just sitting in a draw of misc items >get a strange desire to make a vaguely egyptian body for itHmm.>>11291998That lift arm with the perpendicular axle is very interesting.
>>11292014is that guy a credible leaker? i'm not really in the lego loop anymorewe could still maybe be getting another gwp, and it got distorted through the grapevine.
>>11292203exabricks was always reputable, but this was back in 2023 I think? There's not been a peep since. And I think the post was weird when it happened, like it either got deleted or it was passed off as a prank or something.
>>11292203>we could still maybe be getting another gwp, and it got distorted through the grapevine.Maybe it was some early plan about the 2023 GWP which got misunderstood by the leakers.
>>11292229I believe it was posted well after the GWP set had been released.
>>11292323Yeah, but it could still be something about the GWP that the leakers misunderstood.
I would really appreciate some kind of GWP one-off that's a technic-built figure instead of brickbuilt

>>11291702Curvy edition? AWOOGAOne thing about always being low on pieces and not willing to bet on Ebay lots is that I have to be more creative and flexible with my parts use and appreciate what I got more.
>>11291702lmao, is this the "you forgot the moon and the stars nigga" meme?
>>11291702Thicc bonkle figures are a miracle of the universe
>>11292795God imagine her letting out a 10-15 second brap. Straight beef stew smell filling the room.
>>11291725Don't give up hope yet, lego sometimes announces new themes only a couple of months before release.
>>11292882if (big if) Lego was smart they would hype up G3 for a whole year, they could release $30 canister sets and people would eat it up
Give me six Toa or a greatest hits of characters like Roodaka or Brutaka, each in an adult oriented set like this meant to be displayed on a shelf. Surely that's not too autistic right? I miss these little polynesian fuckers like you wouldn't believe.
>>11292958>not taking the characters as they are and modifying the shelf itself by adding trinkets and imagery to turn it into a miniature shrine/altar to pagan idolsWeak
>>11292795I love rahkshe
>botch Gen 2 by watering down the story too much>only other CCBS theme running is Star Wars>also botch this by putting out too many ugly ass human characters that no one wanted because they looked too much like Galidor>"welp, guess no one wants constraction figures anymore!"Why is Lego like this
>>11293334I don't know why why didn't just focus fully on droids. The fully armoured guys (various troopers and vader) were pretty good but the droids were fantastic.
>>11293359Grievous was one of the best CCBS sets ever, but I guess we're doomed to gray triangles forever
>>11292673Make a technic built animal and call it a rahi with the Bionicle logo. Use existing technic pieces and doesn't need a mask. People not into Bionicle will just see it as an animal with an action feature.
>>11293334>>11293359>>11293373Not to mention they cancel it JUST before what would have been guaranteed best sellers would have dropped.Granted considering how overpriced the Star Wars CCBS sets were (another mark against them), I can't imagine the Super Battle Droid or the 501st walker being reasonably priced.
>>11294563Oh yeah I forgot they were going to do a Super Battle Droid. Looking at it, I don't think it would have been anymore expensive than the normal ones (does making a bespoke shell for the torso drive the price up?). I would have picked a couple of them up and given one the big fuckoff arm cannon they had in Republic Commando.
>>11294563I'm just mad that CCBS pretty much exclusively existed while I was a high schooler (or at least Bionicle and Star Wars robots) and getting a job out of high school was impossible in my home town so I couldn't get any of the sets.
>>11294614Why must you hurt me.Like it's incredible how good that walker looked. I don't even care about Star Wars that much, but for the parts and build alone, that would have been an all-timer.
>"hmm you know our system that is suited to building fully armored dudes and robots? let's just make a shitload of the human characters!"Who's to blame for this, Lego or Disney?>>11294663I didn't even know a good picture of those 2 existed until I was going some googling an hour ago.
>>11294670>Who's to blame for this, Lego or Disney?Whoever keeps demanding these fucking things:
>>11294744To be fair, I have a morbid interest in these fuckers. The Venom wasn't bad, and I want to pick up the Goblin at some point.But any that has a human face is, once again, god-fucking-awful.
>>11294815I like the Batman one with the bike. The other buildable Batman looks like ass though.
>>11294744>kill constraction >make this shit a few years laterCaptain America's hands are really weirding me the fuck out.
>>11293373grievous is basically a bionicle if you think about it
>>11294744>mogs your lineThey could be making Marvel Rivals buildable figures but they insist on making them both expensive and blandly designed. The future of constraction is not Lego.
Hey guys quick question. Are there any known issues with Furno Bike? I'm not a bioncal guy but know hero factory is when a lot of the community feels like they fell off. Still I'm surprised how inexpensive these guys are now a days. It leads me to think there's issues with cracking or discoloration over time. Thanks in advance.
>>11294823this could be cool with a brick built head
>>11296495What is that? It looks retarded.
me with a time machine in 2001.no, im not stopping 9/11.
>>11297198There are cracking issues with early Hero Factory sockets. But it's not based on plastic age, they were like that when the first came out.I'm pretty sure his bike is fine though.
Made my first custom guy today had some parts limitations so I really couldn't be very creative. The trident claws spin around and those shoulder pieces move around like a second pair of arms. I know the picture is shitty I gotta take a new one.I realized now the usefulness of technic pieces when creating moc bionicle, a lot of my technic sets that ended up on the part bin are rather small but really helped me parts wise to build this guy.Any suggestions on recent small technic sets you guys found good parts wise?
>>11297699just go on bricklink and get a bunch of pieces you might need
>>11297699Limitations drive creativity. See what you can do within your collection.
>>11297657Not like you could even stop it anyways, may as well fuck around and enjoy the toys or food
>>11297657I'm not changing shit, I'm aquiring a manas crab army and doing the kaita fight at the end of mnog in reality.
>>11292795Tits > ass
>>11298101Now we're fucking talkingI'd happily get a time machine to acquire a dozen manas sets.Actually fuck it, the controllers and receivers can't be that expensive.
>buy a small lot of masks, including a few rarer recolors of turaga masksLove when I can get a decent deal, though the collector's market still burns a bit.I'm hoping we can get more custom masks in original colors. I'm craving for old purple in turaga masks.
>>11298615I miss the days of people selling bionicle lots for cheap and discovering all sorts of goodies in them.
>>11299289You and I both. Granted I still hunt on occasion, but I'm happy I finished my set collection before things got too crazy. Now I just want a few odds and ends with masks, and otherwise I'm after old Technic no one else wants.>tfw bought this for $20 ten years agoGood ol' days.
I recently got a keetongu set for 25 with bag 2 and 3 sealedGot the voporak without the box but all 3 bags sealed for 185Gadunka sealed for 130Did i get a good deal?
>>11293334>Shitty G2 CCBS hits the shelves>First wave sells>Overpriced and fugly Disney Wars CCBS hits the shelves>It doesn't sell>Lego creates pieces that address many of the problems with CCBS but keeps them exclusive to SW CCBS sets>Bionicle G2 still outsells it>Lego cancels the heavily sabotaged G2 expecting fans will switch to SW CCBS to get their fix>Constraction diesManagement must die.
>>11299289>>11299596I started collecting them again about 6 months ago, and I have a respectable collection now, you just need to be patient and you'll find decent deals. But yeah, all that for 20$ is absurd.
>>11300164Grievous was probably the best CCBS set but the rest were worse than the worst G2 Bionicle
>>11300434The Rogue One droid was pretty good too. Torso was a custom build and had a gear function.
What the hell ever happened to Exota Forge?
i'm not trying to stir the shitpot but I don't see what people love about the CCBS Grievousthe legs were creative and nice-ish for how shit of a building system the designers worked with but it still feels really lazy and uninspired
>>11300611Same honestly. He's cool and rather large, but 90% of the build is just snapping bones and shells together. And his arms are awkward when they aren't split into 4.
>>11293334I dont understand the creepy uncanny valley human heads. Looked like shit useless if you want to make anything else but a human. They couldve made droidekas, super battle droids and what not. Instead they choose to most safe, boring, lazily designed, eas to build ccbs version of inika builds.
>>11300434>>11300507Maul supposedly had a nice gear function for his arm swing. Otherwise I'm still mad I didn't grab the Scout Trooper and the Ranger Trooper, they had some nice parts.>>11300611I think a lot boils down to he looked great unlike every other CCBS Star Wars set at the time. Add that we hadn't had a set that really made CCBS work in quite some time, and there you have it.
>>11299596Did you get this locally from a parent or something? Crazy anyone would go so low, like just common sense and the volume and size of the stuff there would make you ask for more.
>>11301059Not him, but back then they were just regarded as old toys and parents or the now adult owners of them would just throw them up for "take this off my hands please for the love of god" prices.
>>11300692Chungus post.
>got dragged to a garage sale in like 2012 or so>mother tells me "you used to like bionicles they've got a bunch" >bunch of the 2008-2010 stuff including toa mata nui >recognised the mask from the baraki/mahri animations but didn't really care so i didn't buy himI fell off of Bionicle in 2007 so I had no context about any of that. Was only a couple of years later when I started to get back into it with the G2 rumours that I realised what the fuck I saw.
>>11299289>tfw missed out on this period of collectingIn hindsight I'm glad I focused on some of the top dollar items of the time because fuck buying any of that shit now. Still, getting to experience buying an entire collection from some mom who just wants it gone sounds nice.

>>11299289I can't stand how fucking greedy people are for everything we grew up with now.
Does anyone know anything about Kennie DIY masks on Aliexpress or that ZionTyrano guy? I just wish I knew why the new masks were so much more expensive but I guess that's just how it is. But what I really want to know is if they'll ever do old brown so I can have a full set of all the masks they make in OG Toa colors. They seem to have left out transparent colors too which is a bummer. And the original masks they did don't have new colors regular green and blue.
whatever happened to fat bionicles
>>11303358Please don't summon fat bionicle I'm doing a no fap
>>11303374You're already posting in the Curvy Edition of /biog/.
>>11303338I ordered those masks from him, they're pretty high quality, the white one glows in the dark.Also ordered more of the new masks, but idk why he didn't make them in more colors, I'd love a mask of light that glows in the dark
>>11303624Is there somewhere I can relearn about Bionicle lore that isn't 12 fucking hours long? I dropped off when they all mutated and became spiders.

The last Toa gets taken out by the deep state but a new team of Toa takes his place. The president turns out to be Satan so the Toa defeat him. But then a big titty bitch and her spider army shows up to save him.Third saga: God is dying and Satan is back. The Toa go to a bunch of places to get the mask which can save him. Along the way they fight snake men, fish men, and bat men. In the end Satan boots God out of his own body and takes over. Fourth saga: Gay Greg fanfiction.

I wonder what compelled him to become like this

Making specialized molds for each single individual character is too costly for LEGO?
>>11305975NoBut imagine you are a company. And you can make a mold for each character. You make a profit.But then you decide to one day make the same character in different colours or reuse old pieces. And you get almost the same money without as much investment.So which one would you choose after that?

>>11307048what if I had a broken piece, that was broken by the previous owner, and I manage to fit it in a moc? is it still haram to use broken pieces? it should be halal to find a use for a piece that you'd throw away otherwise

Felt too cheap, too little substance.>>11315002And were a good enough visual upgrade to warrant their existance imo. I actually prefer them.
>>11315152That blue and silver one was made by Nuparufan.
>>11315152>the only Rahkshi girl I gotAnd you dont add a picture of the lady? I would like to see her.
>>11315181>>11314850>>11311320>what's your type?>d-don't have any
>>11291702Where can I find the bonkle add-on for Studio?>>11315122What a boring, barebones, waterboiled Makuta design.
>>11314909>best line: rahkshi and mahri>worst line: stars and glatorianGlatorians had those weirdo clenched fist hands. Rest of the sets were very boring except for the weapon designs and the functional launcher.
>>11315181Thanks, Anon! Wasn't sure if the name of the filename was someone else making a version. Is it the same character as in >>11308864 then? Search engines don't get me far somehow.>>11315332Oh well, I posted her to insta, might as well post her here. I was in Norway around one and a half years ago and brought figures with me. Love taking pics outside and Norway's nature is stunning.>>11315118That BMW set 42063 can be rebuilt into a hoverbike, got it for that reason. A large Toa will fit nicely.
>>11315289I wish they made enough pieces to make a full orange Bohrok
>>11315534Oh she's absolutely gorgeous anon and a great place to photograph. Black and trans blue go so well together and dayum those legs. Great job taking the common rahkshi girl nuva tits combo and making a well built moc around it that isn't just tiddies. I wonder if you are able to use translucent exoforce clips or push in some barbs to give the glow in her eyes back. The creator of that blue and white moc is Vusstar on tumblr. I saw they posted a how-to as well.
I impulsively bought some bionicles for the first time so I guess I belong here now. Hows it going and what do you guys usually do in these threads?
>>11315770welcome aboard, in here we post our bionicles, post our mocs, discuss the lore, simp for roodaka, pretend that g3 is coming (2 more weeks!) and post shitty memes
>>11315403well yeah, it was a vehicle set
>>11315596Oh I dig those thigh designs.The lighting is weird, but those are flat silver kalmah armor bits right?
I wish G2's masks had a way to lock onto the head.
>>11315796>there's no god but the Great Spirit and the Toa are his prophets
>get back into building>figure I'll only bother building sets to put on a shelf and not touch MOCs>give in>eventually decide to build a toa of air with the mask of quick-travel, preferably without using G2 pieces>find a good way to put toa nuva armor on a hordika torso>time for the head>everything I try looks like absolute shit>head too far back, head too high up, head too far forward, head too down low, can't look up, can't look down, you name itAm I SOL with the hordika bodies?
>>11316329Have you tried different heads? Maybe you could make a custom built one, or switch gears and make something that isn't a Toa.
>>11313569That dudes mask designs are ass but I remodeled some of the parts to play around with them irl and they're really cool.
>>11316223Yes sir you are correct.>>11316258The Hordika had lizard like necks, set way forward. I doubt you are able to use it unless you increase the size of your moc.
I need a better camera.That build from the Skrall prototype is cool, but I think they had to modify the piraka torso or something to get the mata foot to fit.
>>11316418I ended up quitting on the hordika body and built a torso structure vaguely based off of Roodaka's. I think all have left to do is armor for the upper arms and back.
>>11316437Meant for >>11316329
>>11316439I need to try and scoop up bonkle lots to make MOCs with, that torso design is begging for added stability
>>11315770Welcome brother. Feel free to question us about bionicle lore, building techniques and everything else. Share pictures of your bionicles and mocs too!
>>11316433The pen heads are goofy looking, but not bad. I do like his part concepts, they feel like they'd be solid for smaller figures in a weird successor to Technic figs kind of way.
if lego doesn't want to make bionicle g3 because too many molds, they could at least release some new system sets like this, but of other eras, and with other bionicle minifigs.imagine a system set of the villages and buildings of mata nui with matoran and toa minifigs like those hordika ones
>>11316910Problem is you still need 6 new molds for the toa, 6 for their weapons. So thats 12 molds already. Every new wave.
>>11315796>jala flips the gukko.jpg
>>11307048Love me some high Jen Heresy.
You did watch it at least twice right anon?https://youtu.be/HKgSMTON4fI?si=zq-0zOlGX3Jto_mp
>>11317652Not that one, but I have watched the 13 hour one from a few months ago twice.
>>11317655>the 13 hour one from a few months agoI'm tempted to re-watch that one myself, this time to see at what point I think Bionicle's lore starts getting bad.
>>11317521Brrrr... those uncanny faces.

BRUTAKANUI
I want to clean my parts, I've noticed a lot of them have yellow'ish residue which I think might be due to smoking but I also see some that have yellowed because of the sun. Do any of you have any experience cleaning parts especially in bulk? My plan was to first dump everything in my bathtub and use warm water with dawn dishsoap to soak everything. Then Im thinking about using Hydrogren peroxide to help clean as well but I'm wondering if I can use it for all colours of brick, I also read about people saying it gives them squeeky joints and or brittle pieces. Anybody got experience?
>>11318238When I clean bulk parts I use hot water, regular dish soap, and a very tiny amount of white vinegar. If I'm going to sun dry the parts I rinse with distilled water so it doesn't leave mineral spots. This is less if a problem if you're going to towel dry the parts.I would simply accept whatever yellowing your pieces have undergone. Yellowing is an oxidization process, like rust. It relies on there being new material exposed to continue the process, so it will settle at a point and not continue unless you increase the sunlight/oxygen exposure or reveal new surfaces. Hydrogen peroxide re-opens all the microscopic pores in the material and - yes - whitens them, but it also reveals significantly more surface area on a microscopic level so the yellowing comes back SIGNIFICANTLY worse than if you left it alone.I did an experiment a few years ago to prove this point. On the bottom brick, the LEFT side was treated with hydrogen peroxide until it was as white as the top brick. It was then left in the sunlight for approximately one year, and now you can see that despite sharing the same exact exposure level, the treated side yellowed FAR worse than if I didn't touch it. It sucks but you just gotta deal with it.
>>11318270Thank you greatly anon. I'm going to scrap the entire peroxide plan now that I've seen the results. That's jarring.
Honestly I think the takutanuva set is bad and am much more interested in cooking something up myself.>>11316456Where do you guys buy bionicles from? I got full takanuva and makuta sets for 200$ and i dont know if thats a great deal or terrible one, it seems good compared to the prices of other single sets.
>>11318559I think the 2003 Makuta set is bad too.
>>11318559Bricklink and 2nd hand stores.
I went to my grandmas.I found my Bionicle.Today was a good day.
>>11319500finding a huge fucking box of bionicle is one of the finest pleasures in life
>>11319500Axonn is back
>>11319500Turns out I really liked Bohrak. Theres at least 3-4 more in here. This is gonna be a great weekend.
>>11319641Good stuff anon. Bohrok were awsome.
Question for Anons in the knowI recently bought >>11311068 on bricklink because my mata nui is missing an arm. I know those pieces are fragile, especially after 15 years, and are rather scarce.I was wandering if the piece comes unused in pristine state, should I make preemptive incisions shown or picrel to avoid risking breakage at the base of the socket?It would be so fucking frustrating to wait for a week only for the piece to break right after receiving it, but at the same time despise the idea of commiting heresy.Was anyone in similar situation?
>>11319838Nah dont. Just build with it normally.
>>11319838jus preemptively incise u's foreskin insteed
>here's your Bionicle bro
if, hypothetically, any of you fucks manages to get a girl pregnant, would your let your kid play with your bionicles?
>>11319946already dohow does it feel to be the end to your bloodline?
>>11319946YeahI'm already the cool uncle, my nieces and nephews fucking loved the rahi sets, especially the Manas.When I adopt kids they'll have a whole bevy of toys to play with.
>>11319946Gotta keep the autism going, anon.
>>11320303Nah, fuck it. I'm autistic and I was diagnosed only at 22, a NEET loser to this day (age 29). And my dad's an undiagnosed autist. And I'm not gonna tell you my life story, but I'm convicted that autistic people shouldn't be allowed to reproduce.
>>11320342>convinced*Sorry, I'm a bit drunk rn
>>11319946Yeah but not my mocs.
>>11319946Of course, they can play with my rahkshi and ill help them build their own.
>>11320422are those yours?

>>11320464No. Sauce in filename
>>11320492Some Chinese dude really took a Rebrickable MOC and is selling it for cheap?Fuck, that might be worth it. I wanted to build that GSR.
>BrickShelf is closing
>>11319946No. Not from some autismal control over them, but because it's over 20 year old plastic that is no where as strong as it used to be.
>>11320697aw, bummer
>>11320697Surprised it lingered for so long. Mocpages died ages ago.
>>11320697Rip. Time to save some ladies.
Damn it not even Flickr is safe from bionicle fans trooning out... it's not even a sexy futa thing what's the point lol
>>11319900I know Bionicles aren't really giant robots but I built hanger bays and launching decks for them because I liked Gundam as a kid too.>>11320342I have a similar story but I got my mom into mom Lego recently and she really enjoys it lol.
>>11321307If you only look at the moc its quite nice, say what you want but the colour scheme goes pretty well and I like the use of the mindstorms piece for the head but the colour of that piece doesn't fit the build.
>>11315534where can I find more of these mocs?
Takua, Jaller and Matoro but posed like the Pillar Men
They had more buildable color combos available, why didn't they make use of them?
>>11303849
>>11322178Too expensive and it isn't all about Bionicle.Luckily with more copycat parts coming out and in new colors, we have the potential to move beyond needless heresy.
>>11322788>Too expensive and it isn't all about Bionicle.???Anon I'm not asking why they didn't make more Rahkshi parts in different colors.I'm asking why there weren't more canon color combos with the parts that already existed.

Lego needs to come up with more towball socket pieces like socket to axle or pin. Would be great for moccing.
>Hmmm...
>>11322883Lol, nice
>>11323067There are many pieces that would be extremely usefulIt still surprises me that there are no ball-jont-to-mixel-joint connections But yeah LEGO kinda dropped the ball by not expanding their towball arsenal
I just got a big bulk of Bionicle pieces but they're covered in a layer of dust. What's the best way to clean them? Just put them in a big bin of dish soap and water and let them soak?
>>11323452It would make moccing on a smaller scale so much better.
>>11323467I assume you'd want to clean them regardless, so why not just... try it first before asking here?
>>11323467I found my mctoran recently and they were so covered in dust that Matoro was actually gray. I just put them in the sink with just water and a paintbrush to get into the grooves. I'd only use dishsoap if they were grimey.
>>11323502I saw someone ranting one day about dish soap ruining the plastic. But I see everyone saying they use dish soap so I just wanted to double check.>>11323515Oh yeah not a bad idea. Or maybe I can even use a soft bristle tooth brush
>>11323467Warm water in a (bath)tub, not hot, dawn dish soap or a bit of white vinegar both are safe for lego parts but vinegar isnt really good for any rubber (barraki) parts. Dump all your parts in and stirr while taking apart as much as possible. Drain water and rinse well. If you have a salad spinner you can use that to remove as much water as possible before putting the parts on a towel to dry. Would recommend using a fan so the parts dry quicker, this will help stop any oders. Good luck anon.
Why is my dark gold avohkii peeling like an onion? The nuva armour, Lhikan and Iruni are all fine, just that one mask.
>>11323565Pic?
>>11323452>ball-jont-to-mixel-joint connectionsDone.Also /Toy/rone said your mom knows a lot about balls.
>>11324585I think anon meant technic to mixel.
>>11324777
>>11324886I meant "Piece simultaneously having a bionicle/technic balljoint/socket and mixel/towball joint/socket(s)"
>>11324920>She can't put the pieces together...NGMI
When designers cut chop paint and glue pieces its fine but when I do it its 'heresy' baka
any OGs with binkmeister proto kanohi they'd trade for a light gold avohkii? picrel
>>11322883i remember going thru customer reviews on the lego site and reading how a mom who bought roodaka for her son was surprised at her prominent tiddies once it was built
>>11325297Unfortunately no but I am very jealous anon, very cool mask
