>>117630671. Great moc2. Were a dying breed.
>>11763067Is there another head or custom head that would both fit on the Stars body and fit Stars Tahu's mask? I'm trying to use that torso, get a better, less hunched head, and add in some torso articulation. Probably just use ccbs limbs for those. Any thoughts? The stars torso feels a bit limited but maybe with some technic beams it'd be possible to get what I'm trying to achieve.
>>11763312>What's going on?I think Bionicles were discontinued years ago.
Are you getting the mini fig or nah
>>11763447If I can find one, for sure. Hoping it won't be too tough.
>>11763416Singapore
>>11763416Is there any source of new/compatible parts (outside of 3d printing)? Or is it reselling a shrinking pool of parts made back in the day.
>>11763447Yup
>>11763626Slowly getting more third party offerings, anybody ordered from sidorak? Thinking of getting some pink parts for an odd piraka and some other stuff
So has anybody tried using these heterochromia eyes and had one of the eyes be cast in pure black or gray and the other be clear, or do it in general themselves, just curious how that would look for a proper missing eye toa or baddie
>>11763067>>11763312>>11763322i think sexualizing your bonks makes you a bad fan. there is no reason to give your models tits and an ass and a tiny waste other than to get your weewee hard. convince me otherwise without outing yourself as a slave to your animalistic gooner urges/trying to turn me into one
>11763790>i think-I don't give a fuck what you think
>>11763347the glatorian head works well for the stars hau mask
I buyed boughted it
>>11763711beautiful bionicle with homophobia
>>11763815I tried that but fitting it onto the body comes off hunched and kind of ugly, but you're right that it fits. Since the Stars mask is smaller, it can't fit a Mata head properly, which is unfortunate. Certainly is an option though. Just the way the Stars torso is built makes the articulation feel rough. I do want to introduce a waist too, but I'm still trying to think up a design.
>11763814>too much of a pussy to give a (you) Yawn, come back when you grow a spine
>>11763951
>>11763790I'm not sure I'd go as far as "bad fan" but I do agree it's strange. I think something that can be enjoyed without any sexual frisson is wonderful. But then I'm one of the apparently rare people who managed to grow up with peak Sonic and Pokemon and not turn into a furfaggot so maybe I'm the odd case.
>>11763790>>11764131Can't complain about roodaka because that's official, but yeah, not everything needs to be porn, and I say this as a massive coomer.
>>11763790>goonerYou have to be at least 18 years old to use this website.
>>11764150>>11764131I would prefer if we get sexy stuff it’s at least odd looking fuckers instead of only being Sexy Toa, part of what makes Roodaka work is due to her being a scaly weird offshoot species personally, some of the rahkshi stuff gets it somewhat right but they fuck it up in other spots too much, sexy xenoish stuff is where it is best done
>>11763951>>11764042fucking peam. icarax was my first kraakhan
>>11763447Yeah...>>11763711The only issue I could imagine aside from how you'd get it is light piping. Do printers print translucent?
>>11763951This dude and was the coolest Makuta. All the Phantoka Makuta were goated
>>11764150>>11764198I don't like Roodaka either tbqh. I'm glad that sort of design didn't become a fixture of official kits.

>>11764749Any advice for where to buy the Metru eyes
>>11764754>>11763790Reddit behaviour.
>>11764758bricklink always, or local markets if you're lucky. Though if you're buying anything other than trans-neon green or orange i would highly recommend buying a complete toa and making sure they have the color you want

>>11763790trvke
I got the stupid ass red nigga guard from the sequel trilogy skirt piece, along with his shoulder guards from bricks and minifigs why did I get this, should it be some Rahi frill or some shit like those frilled lizards or is some guy gonna be cursed with Scottish Disease? What the hell do I even pick man
:(
>>11765613Post moc
>>11765154I didn't know this existed, I should get this for my Superman mech.
>>11765613GPS moment>>11765643It’s really short for how wide it is, again more skirt than that, just use one of the kk2 capes or something if you want supes, then again theres about nothing for that, you may have to stitch it together or something if you don’t want it in 3 parts, god why does the cape section have to be a million miles long
>>11764716Makes sense lol>>11764749I can confirm this works alright from my own moc. Stays on well.
>>11766194>it is now gay to not want to fuck your plastic toys
What are the best customizations/improvements I can do to the original toa mata? Ideally using only legal or legal-adjacent techniques and legitimate Lego parts. Could be technic or mostly system, don’t have a preference as long as the build is roughly the same size as the original toa mata and looks good
>>11763790But what would the case be if instead the bonks were complicit with those urges?https://mega.nz/file/77pFhDoS#pRMTPzoLbOmYvVffxl9rf_CiQN8FD0Vfs5HkBGdXeXQ
Rahkshi of lust design, huh
>>11766879Where?!
>>11766982In my mind, you aren’t getting the Paradisa Pink or Hot Pink Rahkshi for free
>>11767013So what, they consume love like some kind of succubus?
>>11767060No they just make you too horny to properly fight
Need to sort out some bricks to build this summer, lotta bionicle stuff in my collection and now a lot of technic bulk too, may go out and fetch a bit more bulk but not 100% sure tomorrow
>>11766879I love rahkshi.
>>11767607I wish the chains came in neon orange, “orange” just looks ugly for non amber stuff
>>11767609Sometimes we have to make do with what we have unfortunately

I almost added a couple of those star wars shoulder pieces to my bricklink order... you people have corrupted me
>>11769380The fat red ones or the boobs
>>11769386the boobs

I found an old kindle and I'm thinking of jailbreaking it, should I read the bionicle books with it?
>>11770026You have my permission to read the Bionicle books with it.
>>11769853Same.
Why are there only female rahkshi mocs? Is there some kind of lore reason I'm missing out on?
>>11770265People aren’t prepared for the rahkshi bara porn
>>11770265we're all straight here but someone should make a twink
>>11770265My headcannon is that they have a very skewed sex ratio in favor of woman. Males are quite rare so the population is led by females.
>>11770265Furries are weird.
>>11770265>>11770316Uhm ackshully, bionicles have no sexual dimorphism. Some of these are male
>>11770342>bionicles have no sexual dimorphismThat's one of Greg's bs retcons after Bob Thompson left the team, so it doesn't count.
>>11770377I say there is some sexual dimorphism but more extreme in case by case, like some rahi
>>11770342Hmmm. Nah.
>>11770316they're machines piloted by slugs
>>11770342So what do male vortixx just have breasts and high heels too?
Has anybody designed a mask of toonforce or the closest aproximate thing to it? The idea just came to me and it sounds awful but funny, I imagine a very big chin and wide cheeks for such a mask, maybe something like this, also going for the user having the pallet of him be very joker (orange and purple), I would guess a Makuta would be the one to use something like this but who knows, shit literally hit me and I had to write it out like the rahkshi of lust lore or yandere gf piraka, then again cursed ideas or odd shit is a specialty of mine
>>11770342They're all genderless but that won't stop furries from being weird
>>11771409Slug
Why are there no old technic retrospectives, considering how a fair bit of people consider the technic stuff in bionicle was important to the identity, so why not analyse technic stuff and its eras without bionicle or some of the weird pieces that made it in
You like rahkshi girls, I like rahaga girls. We are not the same.
>>11771536Nigga likes old 3 foot dwarf midget girls
>>11771568So what?
>>11771527You think that would be of interest, but Lego fans get super weird about Technic. Even me, I'm pretty limited in what I collect and enjoy with that subtheme but I treasure the wild and experimental phases Technic went through.
Rebuilding my Nui-Rama and Nui-Jaga sets from bulk and finding out I'm missing a fair few pieces. At least I finished Teridax save for his red/blue head piece. I swear I had that somewhere still.
>>11771369Your image reminds me, has anyone done actual Maori style carvings of the original Toa masks? I've been building a tiki bar at home and fuck it, year 1 Bionicle is Polynesian enough.
>>11771536It's just a catch-all for rahkshi headed lady mocs.
>>11772374I am guessing no as far as I know, but it sounds like a fun side project
>>11771633you can stay in your one man corner
>>11773041Same
>>11767741Back when I was a kid I disliked/didn’t get the switch of the setting to Bara Magna but now that I’m older Bara Magna has grown on me. Lots of interesting lore stuff there. The toys were marred by the fragility of the parts but still they were cool.
>>11763814>>11764157>>11764826>>11766194>>11767741not an argument. coombrains seething>>11770969unironically yes.
>>11773249owaow
>>11773564Dont care about your "opinion". Still making and postin superior tiddy mocs
>>11773710hmm i wonder why you have to sit online and goon to bionicles instead of get pussy...eh, they probably aren't related
I can't do custom bodies or limbs for shit! Fuck!
Does anybody have that giant Scala Saddle piece, and has it been confirmed or denied compatible with bionicle yet?
>>11773790I've seen a couple mentions here that it is, honestly I might snag a couple next Bricklink order and test it myself.
>>11773790>>11774066also I think it was the Belville saddle, not Scala
>>11774068https://cyclopicbricks.blogspot.com/2012/05/belville-saddle-awesome-bionicle-piece.htmlYeah, lmao triple posting but who gives a shit
>>11773252thanks>>11774066I am the main anon who keeps on mentioning it, there are less than 40 total for sale across the planet much less undamaged so far as I see, the giant ones>>11774068>>11774070Oh those are much more common but a great looking piece, want some since they have such a unique silhouette, while the scala one is more in scale as an actual saddle
>>11773722Thats something coming from the guy posting on /toy/ in a bionicle thread on 4chan.
>>11774197You got any interesting bricks to post? I got a lot of nu bright yellow plus maybe another brick in the og color recently, and wish somebody would give either a spraypaint or whatever aproximation or some resin remake of some of the newer colors/some of the interesting ones like royal blue or belville pink, that new blue violet and reddish orange would likely look really nice on cbbs, along with an approximation of the solid neon colors from the watches
>>11774197i get pussy from another autistic person who browses toy forums. keep gooning to your MOCs
>>11774277Boypussy dont count
>>11774286Darn
>>11773564ok tranny
Has anybody used these for anything, only thing I’ve ever seen interesting with them is that old USC X Wing which used them for engines in gray (their only system appearance)
man lego in general seems pretty dead this year
Guys
>>11775251
>>11775251>>11775252Stay in your own containment zone shillpedo.
I'm surprised no one has come up with an Exo Toa for minifg Tahu yet. I like the idea of him sitting inside of it like the original, but I'm not opposed to just sticking the head on a stud either.
>>11775912
>>11775251>>11775252soul is finally back on the menu, those bucket pieces will be great for bonkle mocs too
>>11775995Hopefully those pieces come in more colors than yellow later this year, I think the frame window could make good toes on a big guy for example, also when are we getting more of those ribbed pipes
Anybody active? or no
>>11769324no definitely not>>11769209>>11769570yea, took a while to get new pics because i ordered off bricklink to complete and several other builds. She wields chakrams and I don't have another name other than Rahkshi Girl of Heat Vision
>>11777094more>>11776309just post bro
>>11777098This gal could use a friction extender or one of >pic related
>>11777447ill see if I can fit it, but my real problem is I need to move her entire rahkshi shell up 1 or two studs and im not really sure how to go about that without potentially needing to rebuild everything else
>>11777447>>11777450unless I say fuck it and snip the spine away
>>11777453It is up to you but your idea is shared by others.
This was my dream piece as a kid, too bad they made it during the angled socket era...
>>11777935i remember how excited i was for that piece to come out, just for the sockets to be gigashit
>>11776086I don't know how well can they fit, but it's good to see so many liftarms in such a small set, hopefully something with connectors is next (though, are the bucket and the piece used for cockpits new?, The later looks like the Technic counterpart of piece 2432)
Hi guys, i figured i should ask here over anywhere else so here goes, im looking for a pdf of the entire bionicle storyline (Gen1). I had it downloaded on my old phone during covid but the phone shit the bed and it was sadly lost to me. The pdf was several hundered pages long and covered everything from tahus drunk ass picking himself up on the beach to makutas bonk on the head. Would be grateful if someone could assist in finding. Also i am aware that the biological chronicle is up to download but all i can find are just the books stitched together. What im looking for was 1 singular document that covered it all.
>>11778174literally found it immediatly after posting lol disregard
I wish there would be more activity, MAY go get some random bricks for 14-30ish bucks tomorrow but not 100% sure, I need to build something>>11777935Is there a recreation of this but older styled?
>>11775912Like this?
>>11779634Bionicle but with system bricks seems promising especially with Mixel joints
>>11779634Very nice>>11779720Much as I agree, there's a lot of contention there.I think the honest truth is we will never see a specialized constraction theme again unless Lego's on the brink. They've all but stopped producing most molds aside from ball joints, and revving up production for an entirely new system again will cost a fortune. The best bet will likely remain a full integration of System, Technic, and whatever constraction they still have around.If they can make it cheap and keep it budget priced (as Bionicle should be), then they'll find success. But you'll have too many people throwing a fit for the "impurity" of it all.
>>11779634Ya, I've seen i think 4 of them so far, and this one is the best. I appreciate the working gimmick of the arm, but I was thinking stud shooter for the cannon arm. Definitely good inspiration though and some nice techniques on these.
Thoughts on Phantoka?
>>11780302One of my favorite waves, it's just a huge shame angled sockets also started with Phantoka
>>11780302Prettty cool except for chirox' lanky arms.
>>11780302Pure Kino
Aside from online resellers and flea markets, what's the best place to buy bionicles if you're in europe?
>>11780302
>>11780922Would that make Lewa "offshore accounts" and the corrupt matoran "auditors"
>find out Legoland pressed pennies for Bionicle exist>only listings are $75/each and from the one faggot that bought out Medium Blue Pakaris to mark up to $10
>>11777508Reminds me of Biorockdude
>>11781209It is his after all.
>>11780302Piggybacking Matoran was pretty sex. I also got Ignika for Christmas as my first titan, which is a nice memory.
>>11781668>Piggybacking Matoran was pretty sexWhy did you have to word it like that, it spawned in my mind the cursed image of the Toa/Makuta attaching to the back of the Matoran
Bionicle is a weird franchise for me. It dropped at the perfect time for me to hop onboard and be intrigued by the mysterious "safe edge" world it presented in print materials and with the sets themselves (particularly by 2004). You look at any piece of promo art, or listen to any piece of music, and there's this potent draw to uncover its secrets. But my limited experience in engaging with actual Bionicle media is at odds with that childhood perception of mine. Is it all so kiddie, or is that mostly the movies?
>>11781682No hate, obviously. As I implied I'm an OG. I still think the sets are rad as shit.
>>11781682Mainly the movies. They genuinely are at odds with most of the franchise in terms of tone.
>>11781682The comics are kind of kiddie in a different "quips and one-liners" way, the books also have that but with much more substantial content in between, and just as you say, the various media that leave more to the imagination actually tend to best convey the type of atmosphere older fans like to imagine. It's an interesting spectrum.

Every time I see another one of these shitty ass animations by the fart of agitation an immense sense of motivation to properly learn Blender comes over me just because of how bad and awkward these are.>inb4 you should learn maya or someshit instead

Found a complete, non cracked Matoro Mahri at an affordable price and bought it, my collection is at my parents house, can't wait to go back and put it with the others, and take some pictures with my (bootleg) ignika.
>>11781682>>11781683play mata nui online and legend of mata nui if you haven't, then watch the metru nui animations and play the DS version of bionicle heroes (console version is alright if you just want to see them 3d modeled and moving, but it's too goofy, the DS version feels mysterious and cool). Those are the best bionicle media related things out there. Shame there's nothing for the mahri saga, I think it's the most interesting in terms of story.
>https://youtu.be/Lt5hMKGOV00The Vahki animations make me sad we never got a Metru Nui Online Game from Templar.
I need bionicle memes, I lost my folder

>>11783149I remember those bracelets, I need to find my Remove Kebab one
There are the Toa Mata, then the Toa Nuva (sort of an edge case), and then everything else is mental illness.Am I correct to think this?
>>11783512Why are the nuva masks so ugly?
>>11783512larping as an OG while using fandom terms like "toa mata" is really funny
>>11783536Not larping at all. I haven’t paid attention to Bionicle in over 20 years. Is “Toa Mata” unusual? I guess they were just “Toa” to start, and the “Mata” was tacked on to distinguish them from the “nuva” “metru” etc.? “Toa mata” feels very natural, though.
>>11783551They're retroactively referred to as the Toa Mata to avoid confusion, yes. The story was originally planned to end in 2003 and there weren't any other Toa before that point. Anyway it's not exactly an new take that the first years were the best. The vibes of the original arc are unmatched but there's plenty of good stuff both toy and story wise from the other two thirds of the run
Did the masks always fit so tightly in the face hole? I’ve got this red head, and there’s quite a bit of resistance with any mask I fit to it. As a kid, I feel like the masks fell off without all that much effort
>>11783558>The story was originally planned to end in 2003And you're calling other people newfag tourists? Faber had GSR sketches before the line even launched.
>>11783635Stars Hau is slightly smaller than the standard Hau and doesn't fit on the Mata heads the best
>>11783668anon...the GSR reveal was originally planned for 2003... why do you think mask of light awkwardly ends with mata nui "waking up" (but not really) and then a metru nui tease?
>>11783527they fell in protodermis and melted
>>11783669I believe this is the regular ass Hau. And I don’t mean it’s small relative to the head, it’s that the little notch is very tight in the mouth hole. Same goes for all the other masks. But the masks fit alright in the light grey head. Still, I feel like these used to fall off at the slightest impact when I was a kid.
So how are we feeling about this Bionicle thing? Will it catch on?
>>11784088>upside down handit triggers me
>>11783551Specifically, they started getting called the Mata after the Toa Metru seemingly introduced that naming scheme (even though it only actually got used once more for the Mahri). Before that there was also "Toa Olda" as the counterpart to the Nuva.
>>11784088>boxing homerwhere to buy??!
>>11784577If you're in the US, I found two listings on Mercari.
>>11784088The way lego has been flopping recently this feels like a desperate move. Galidor sucked, roboriders was okay. But who the fuck wants action figures from lego?
>>11785068And are these not just Throwbots rebranded? Shameless.
Got myself an infected Hau and a lot of black pieces, planning on building MNOG Makuta. Anyone have advice for the center "base" which will hold the head and around which the vortex will be built?
Do you guys have any mask displays?
>>11763790I think there's a right and wrong way to sexualize bionicles. Bionicles are at the end of the day supposed to be cool, and that's the thing that matters most. As long as you can reasonably imagine your sexy bionicle slaughtering her way through hordes of Rahkshi then there's nothing wrong with giving her boobs.
>>11786734It's been more than a decade but I still can't assimilate Rahkshi being powercrept to the point they became cannon fodder when just 6 of them were so scary in the first movie
>>11763790Ten trillion percent correct
is it controversial to say that the genders being element based is dumb i don't see why it can't be 50/50 across all of them
>>11786799Probably had to do with Matoran in 2001? They all had the same build so it was probably either a couple masks or elements being female-only in order to visually convey which character is female.
