The Hordika Neck is definitely the most useful thing to come out of 2005.
I should get that transparent orange Mask of Fire. There's no other way to get it that I know of. With a bonus skull spider and poster too!
Lord of Skull Spiders could be improved so easily if you simply moved the Glatorian necks in the place of the technic beams and then attached the normal CCBS legs to it, placing the original IFB-claw leg-ends on the end of those legs. Not sure about this, but LOSS' function would still work. Boggles the mind why they didn't do something like that, especially considering when it's so simple to improve. Granted, spiders usually have eight legs, but who said LOSS is a spider itself?
Skull Scorpion and LOSS seem to be in a 'Who can be the worst arachnid-based set?' competition.
Skull Warrior has an awesome bow and BOWS ARE COOL. Especially oversized ones. Remember, it's not BIONICLE if the weapon isn't madly oversized. (See: Tahu G2's massive swordbladethings, Gali's G2's massive trident, Pohatu G2's frankly massive boomerangs, many G1 weapons)
Skull Slicey-dicey gets too much flak for being skeleton when it's a skeleton.
Skull Bashey-gnashey has two axes that look more like axes than Lewa G2's axes.
Skull Grindey-windey has a nice staff-thingy.
The summer wave has one thing everyone's been asking for too: a new chest-piece. Even if it's only in transparent colours. Also a new knee/shoulderpad piece. I noticed the old spherical and box-shaped armour attachments had mysteriously disappeared from CCBS, I'm guessing the piston attachment and that new piece are the replacements. You know what we also need? A piece like that 'wide' 6-stud long piece, except a bit a smaller, and also another a bit larger.
I foresee those new sword pieces getting overused to no end as well. Just imagine it in the place of the Brain Attack Sword, which is also overused, or the G1 Mahri Blade, or the HF Mahri Blade equivalent from Ordeal of Fire.
Why don't those new bone pieces have technic pin holes in them? There appears to be space, so there's really no reason not to include them.
That gearbox should be used in every set it possibly can. It's a nice piece, why not include gears now that we can have gears + posability all in one without sacrificing one or the other to the mythical 'Set Designers'?
I looked at Meltdown recently and I noticed that his yellow is slightly different to the CCBS yellow (was there a change in plastic or something when we moved to CCBS?)
On the same note, the old non-CCBS pieces seem to not have those three holes in them that the new balljoints do, is there a reason for that?
On yet again the same note, the transparent green that first appeared in 'Breakout Rocka' did not in fact first appear there, it appeared on Meltdown's 'waste' canisters
Why can't we get transparent dark blue shells on Gali? Kopaka already uses the transparent light blue shells, right now every element has a transparent colour unique to it (Fire = Orange, Stone = Neon Green, Air = Greeny green, Earth = Purple, Ice = Light Blue, Water = Light Blue)
I'm so glad we don't get any Inika torsos any more. I recently realised just how useless they were. The most creatively they were used was in Gadunka, and Gadunka was a fairly mediocre set. Who am I kidding? Everyone loves Gadunka, those teeth are amazing. Has good dental hygiene too! So did the Piraka. WHO HAD THE MASK OF DENTISTRY?
I can't wait until BIONICLE 2016 has NEX, MASTER OF VOID and STRINGER, MASTER OF MUSIC alongside TAKANUVA, MASTER OF LIGHT and AHKMOU, MASTER OF BETRAYAL.
...Ahkmou. Ekimu. Ekimu. Ahkmou. Ahkimu. Ekmou. Ahkimou. Ahkmou?! THIS IS SHOCKING. I COMMAND EVERYONE TO BE SHOCKED. EKIMU IS AHKMOU GUYS.
