Hi all, I hope everything is well. I never made a general before, so i hope this didn't crash with any of you schedules and such. Hope I did alright.

I dropped by my work in progress model, currently getting rebuilt. I'm gonna give him a PKM. I'm thinking of putting in some dark-green system pieces for the base of the gun. Does anyone know of any cool weapon models out there for this model's size I can take a look at? I'm also a bit curious if I should change the arms around a bit to make them more suitable for a PKM machine-gun. I'm also gonna build a fort for this guy with some other soldiers in there as well. Inspiration is flourishing! It's been way too long since I've touched my LEGOs, and after over a month in the hospital, I finally caved in. I hope you guys can get to build something with me as well.

Not a direct reply, but that is how my post evolved:

>All humanoid sets so far have included at least two masks
>Right now we have 9 new mask/head moulds (Winter 2015 had 8), so there are only two spots left until we reach the 11 masks quota like 2015

Not looking good, thinking of it. Umarak is most likely the big flagship set so he has to include something special (demonic powered up MoCo?). If we don't count the Creatures head as mask, there still are only two other masks.
Ekimu can work with a gold Mask of Creation and a recolored version, but I have the feeling he's going to get a new version of the Mask so he can be combined with the Creatures like the Uniters and Umarak.
I fear the three Beasts are going to get shafted like the Skeletons, they can come up with dual sided masks like 2009 and 2011 but two Beasts are still bound to share the same face/mask design.

Alternatively, Umarak and Ekimu just includes recolors, and each Beast gets a different mask/face (with 12 masks instead of 11).

The possibility they're raising the budget compared to 2015 isn't unlikely, but I don't know.

I honestly really like LoSS and Scorpio, even though I thought I wouldn't. I do feel like the Beasts could really use a $20 USD price tag but I doubt that will ever happen, hoping Umarak gets a pretty cool build to go with his large price tag.

Don't really blame you, the tone shift was a bit too jarring for those years, almost every single thing about the line changed at that point.

Curious as to what your thoughts are on the 2015 reboot since I find it a bit closer to the early years (even if it does lack a ton of worldbuilding atm)

This happened to me in 07, and was caused by my father wanting less plastic crap in the house meaning I had to acquire all my bonkles in secret, I didn't lose interest in the line until 09 and am pretty happy about that.

I feel like the animated shorts were a nice idea, but the small runtime really hurt them. Reading the first book you can clearly tell when it starts literally just describing the animations in text when all the world-building and descriptive dialogue just stops completely. Hoping Revenge of the Skull Spiders is good since I've always liked the side-stories of G1.

So using ccbs is no option for you? I will redo the leg tho, since more custom legs would probably better than what I use now, but ccbs sometimes might be a better option.
Also the neck articulation on Onua is a loy easier for obvious reasons.

You should consider using Glatorian necks for Onua's lower arms instead. That way you can give him more articulation via pin/axles.

Sorry about the crappy lighting, but Bongland gets pretty dark around this time of year and I didn't have a proper torch. The head is connected by ratchet hinges (like the ones on Toa Mata Nui's fingers). The gears are a pain in the arse to install and remove, but they're just there for looks and to fill up the gearbox. Put axlepins on the inside of each shoulder and attach gears to those. Slot in the back gear and push a 2L axle through to hold it in place.

I forgot to mention that I would prefer to keep G1 and CCBS separate for the time being. If G2 Bionicle introduces more G1-esque parts, I might use those. I've tried using axlepins for the hip joints, but there's not enough friction to hold up the rest of the body, even on my black ones.

So what's the consensus on Skull Grinder's name being Kulta, seemingly due to TTV there has been quite a few doubts about that actually being his name since it wasn't mentioned in the entry-level storytelling medium of the animations (and by extension the book which was just a text version of the animations for the second half). The fact that it was given in a lego club magazine means there really should be absolutely no doubt that it is actually his name, so I am wondering if there is some other reason people are thinking he isn't actually called that.

Wouldn't really make sense for the other guys, Skull Scorpios and Skull Warriors are just names of groups, and individuals don't matter for those guys, and Skull Slicer was a madmen with no memory of his previous identity having probably been under the control of LoSS for a while, Skull Basher could make a bit of sense, but at this point we are likely not to get a name for him as he was pretty unimportant.

Kulta seemed like the only individual with any sort of will of his own, and even though he is already defeated, he still had some relevance as one of Makuta's servants alongside Umarak.

I can't remember what it was that made me stop buying Bionicle. I don't think I particularly grew to dislike it, though. It was probably just that I'd found things that interested me more. Although, I do remember looking up the lore from 2006 onward after the reboot revitalized my interest and being surprised, to say the least, by some of the things I saw (I still find it hard to accept pretty much everything about "Teridax").

Bionicle 2007 and on basically just turned into Greg's lovecraft fanfiction rather than anything resembling what it used to be. I mean the story was alright if a bit convoluted and extremely edgy, but it felt very disconnected from what Bionicle was before that.

Felt really good, but hopefully I don't have to go through this ordeal ever again.

It's amazing how in the course of a year I've gone from 10 sets to all of this. I just got that great garage sale luck, two huge hauls now!

Probably gonna end up selling a lot of them though, especially the multiples.

Gappyness, the set looks unfinished, and the character is generic and boring as fuck. One of the worst titan sets if not the worst.

I still liked it. The retracting Kanoka was fun, and it was still big and bulky.

Then I got Nidhiki and it overshadowed Krekka immediately.

He's too top-heavy for a lot of poses. He needed more than one socket connection to hold him up. That might have something to do with the rubber in the sockets. Oh, and his arms sucked. They're too thin and were made of different pieces, so it didn't look right. The head was good though.

Good points all around. I will admit his gappy appearance was a disappointment when I picked him up as a kid, as were the unoriginal arms, but overall he still is one of my favorite titans for overall appearance.

I like how he has a needlessly complicated build to allow for that pointless torso-turning gimmick that doesn't even look impressive, nor does it function well due to his long as fuck head brushing against the Metru foot on his back.

No, seriously, I do like it. It adds to his stupid charm, and sometimes that's enough to make me like a toy.

It's amazing, actually. These two have the exact same issue.

It seems that Lego just can't do articulated legs on a small scale.

Probably would have been a stability issue. I feel like Scorpio should have used those ratcheted joints (the ones that open and close the shadow traps of 2016) though, as that articulation point could have really helped him on more surfaces.

In that case it was probably a combination of stability, and wanting pointed, skeletal legs.

My issue with scorpio is his claws rather than his legs though, I wish they had found a compact way to make both ends of the claw those silver spike pieces rather than just one, would have looked a lot better.

Nah they just look shit in general, the bad guys might be okay but two of them are just generic stormtrooper figures (one is the leader or whatever but she is still just a silver stormtrooper) and kylo ren looks lame compared to previous SW villains, gonna be a similar thing to this year where all the SW constraction sets were shit and the only two good ones were the ones that featured completely custom, large builds, which we dont get this wave.

I don't know if any of the other KK masks have that, but they'd only be ones in that kind of color, from the last wave of those figs.
