>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.
