Bionicle General Discussion

[Magical Girl Mimi]

I don't think so... We could just wait for Dudebot... =P

YES. DO IT. =D And Takastara's growing on my more and more... Tahu's still the first I'm getting though. =P

7-2001-2003

Your least favorite years are 2001-2003... but... that's [don't take this offensively] FAIL.

How can you hate the very classic years what with all the mystery, the Seventh Toa later on, movie and game hype, etc.?

a) because i wasn't into it then.
and
b) story? what story? there was no story, not really. not one that made all to much sense unless you bury yourself in bs01 article. still some thing about the first 3 years that are unexplainable.

[The Host]

1st three years had 4 books and a movie. (although the 4th book was a recap of what had happened already).
But really, 2001=2003 wasn't really to exiting. The plot was not fast paced really.

The sets were nice and colourful, with good action features too, but story was a bit lacking.

[mtmerrick]

for me, i don't like "action features". my only can set with them are my 2 toa iruni's and i had to cripple his free-wheeling arm. :-/

[Trijhak]

I just noticed that Sahmad could be considered a Star if he were alone. He has shoulder armour...

BTW, what about a BIONICLE MoCing contest?

[mtmerrick]

i'd enter that....

[Trijhak]

If we ever have BIONICLE MoCing contests and I host one, I'd make it 'Starting out easy....', which would mean making a stars version of an existing set with an Avtoran body.  Easy, but it'd have rules: Create new armour designs. No cheating.

Also, if there are summer sets for BIONICLE in 010, I want at least one to be female.

[Ddude The Insane]

....nokama. Nokama is the female character. =p

I'd MOC an Agent who works for Makuta. He'd be a traitor from the Order of Mata Nui. With an Avtoran body...not easy, but I could do it....

[Trijhak]

Not Nokama. She's stereotypical, old, and boring. Hahli or Kiina on the other hand...

[Ddude The Insane]

Uh, dude? Remember that list he leaked that you removed? Nokama was on it.

Well, since youre mod of this board, I guess you could start a BIonicle MOCing contest. Maybe if Blade approved it could be in the news, like the Apocofest. =D

Maybe we could MOC, then include a description and "stats" (Like on Bionicle.com) for the MOC?

[Vezon The Piraka]

I lost interest in MOCing a long time ago, personally.

[Trijhak]

On another topic, does anybody know why they made stars of gresh and Skrall when they've been released a year before?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

They sold a lot this year? Also, most of these(Barring Taka) were from the first wave of sets in their respective years. Going off that, probably most of the summer sets will be from their respective summer series.

[Trijhak]

What about the Rahkshi? =p

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Wasn't it first wave '03? =/ If not, it's in the same category as taka. =P

[Trijhak]

Rahkshi were 03 summer sets.

BTW, what's everybody's opinion's on the stars?

List of favourite to least favourite:

1. Gresh
2. Tahu
3. Nektan
4. Takanuva
5. Rahkshi
6. Skrall

Barring Skrall and Rahk, they're all good IMO.

[The Host]

I would join an MOC contestm although I have only 3 Agori Bodies, and I'm keeping 2 of them in set form for sure, so making a Stars MOCoff would not be the greatest for me.

And I'm only gonna get Tahu in 2010(well, of the 6 stars that have been officially released).

[Trijhak]

The stars Gresh review on BZP makes him my favourite star by far... his colour scheme is so good, and personally, like a lot of other people, I think he's better than the original set.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Even with that one-toned helmet? =P

[Trijhak]

Yes, it helps the colour scheme greatly. Plus he has EKSCLOOSIF ARMUHR!!1!!1 =p

it seems that the Species sets (Rahkshi and Skrall)  aren't as well designed as the single characters. (Tahu, Gresh, Takanuva, Nektann)
