When I go on vacation in Texas, I usually bring my Rahi, my Mata, And my Bohrok. Do you bring BIONICLE sets on vacation?

[Flaredrick: the Sniper]

I still do. But it's mostly my MOCs now, since all my Bionicle sets have been transformed into MOCs.

 

Though I did lose an Avak set when I went on vacation at a resort.

 

Plus shouldn't this be in General Discussion.

[MisterGryphon]

Nope. I'm afraid I would lose one of them.

[ToaN]

No I might lose them, or some of their parts. I have brought Bionicle books with me when we go on trips, mainly to read while were in the car.

[~garnira returns~]

Most of the time, but if I know (or figure) that I will get some during the trip, I may not.  It also depends if I am going to meet up with friends, because if so, then we may make a bionicle story and roleplay it out.

In 2006 I had a phase of taking some of the Inika on holiday.  Mostly I ended up buying sets when I get there though.

This is about BIONICLE sets/collectibles, so I made it in this forum. Oh and a few years ago, Thok's foot just VANISHED at the hotel. I never found it.

Yup. I could name lots of times. Remember going on vacation in Michigan, and I took my Toa Mahri Jaller and Matoro with. Why? Simply because we were going in Lake Michigan. I didn't lose a single piece, not even darts. HDXC2000 6.0

[Wrinkledlion X]

I used to, years ago. Onua Nuva would go with me everywhere, and often I'd buy a new set while on road trips with my dad. I remember getting both Nidhiki and Gadunka while on the road. 

[Toa Smoke Monster]

I've never brought a Lego set with me whenever I went on vacation. In fact, I never take them anywhere once I got them. That way there wouldn't be a chance for me to lose them.

[T.B.O.C]

Once or twice, I think I brought Gali Nuva with me when I went to New York.

[Wind Elemental]

Not really. There's always that one chance that you'll lose them forever.

[Flaredrick: the Sniper]

So true, I almost lost a Bionicle set once but I forgot when that was.

 

The most recent event that I had taken my Bionicles on vacation, was in McAllen Texas, where I brought Gali Nuva and Tanma. This was about two to three years ago.

[Wazdakka]

I don't believe I've ever taken a Bionicle on vacation, but I have brought one back - Onua Mistika was purchased before his U.S. release and assembled out of the U.S.A. before being brought there.

 

That kinda sounds fun though - bored in the hotel room, just yank out a Bionicle or two...

 

I don't wanna hijack your thread, but since this is kinda the same idea, what bionicle would you take for a vacation? This isn't the "IF you could only take one", just if you could take one for a couple days.

 

I'd take a Matoran. The others would take up too much space.

Exactly. I'm sitting in my hotel room right now with the Tarakava and the Boxor on BZP.

[Valendale]

I used to, but not so much any more. That is, aside from the obvious vaction to Brickfair.

 

Now I mostly take system stuff with me. It's a lot easier to make room and pack for.

[Mylo Xyloto]

I remember I brought Thok to Mexico, but that's about it.

[Lyichir]

I don't take my sets on vacation, but I do typically use my Pohatu Nuva canister to store ties for trips which will require me to dress up. Does that count?

[CeeCee]

Nope. I dont think I ever have. When I was little I used to take my entire Bionicle collection to London to see my cousin so we could combine the collection but that was about it. 

[Kaxix]

Sometimes I buy some sets while I'm on vacation but I don't think I have ever taken any of them with me since the departure.

Ah yes. I remember seeing Levahk in Menorca in like 2005. Good times. I also got one of those mask packs

[Takanuinuva]

I tend to take some of my creations to my parents house. I live on my own but I go to my parents house every month to visit them.

 

Though when I was living with them. We went to my aunt's cabin for vacation and I took my Lewa mata and a very bad moc of an exo toa with me, While there I tried to combine the two. Ended up leaving half the moc at the cabin. Next year we went back and I was fortunate to find the parts I left there. I was really happy since a part I left there was a blunt shooter and It was the only one I had at the time.

[GBV]

I did lose thok's foot at a hotel, but that didn't stop me from keeping BIONICLE with me.

[Zo'Tomana]

I took a MoC of mine on a skiing vacation. Took pics on the plane, at baggage pick-up, even up on the mountain.

[Peach 00]

Never. The risk of losing pieces or the sets themselves is too high.

[toa electro]

I'm bringing bruizer and tahu mata to Hawaii in 5 days ill let you know how it went

[Canis Lupus]

I remember bringing a lot of my Bionicles on vacation once. When I went to China, I did buy a fake Bohrok-Kal and Thulox (The red crab thing from 2007).

[Toatapio Nuva]

Once I brought Carapar with me on a vacation. But that's all.

[AdaptingChaos]

I once brought all my 6 Hordika, 6 Piraka and 6 Inika (because that was my collection at the time) to vacation in late 06 to Peru, my parents country. After that I haven't really brought any on a vacation any more but I will do so in the future, just not an entire collection, I would probably choose Karzahni, my Toa Ignika MOC, Malum, or Ackar.

[TechnicRage]

I usually buy sets where I go. My last trip to Indiana, I got a Vastus from Meijers when BIONICLE was ending production.

[Aanchir: Rachira of Time]

Usually if I bring any LEGO sets on vacation with me, they'll be ones I haven't built yet. For instance, when I went to family camp last summer, I brought Speeda Demon from LEGO Hero Factory, a set I had gotten during Brickfair the previous week.

[Strack]

I used to have a tradition of buying yellow bionicle figures in texas. my family goes vacation there every year. I first bought Bitil, then I bought Mata Nui, but we didn't go back the next year and I couldn't get the Rahkshi Stars set there

[Electric Turahk]

I remember doing it at least once with the Bohrok back in 2002 when they were new. Don't know why I thought it was a good idea to take them camping.

And I've bought sets on vacation - I know Irnakk for sure.

~|ET|~

[Axilus Prime]

Yes, in fact I opened Nuparu Inika on vacation despite getting it the previous day in my house.

 

But unfortunately half the parts broke, so my sets are forever...well, broken.

 

Which is why I don't bring them anywhere at all.

[Kranan: Rider of Rohan]

Well not really. But when I was moving to my grandparents house I did bring my Lewa Nuva Phantoka and my Matoro Mahri.

[Enax the epic]

No, every time I bring a bionicle on vacation, the pieces get lost.

[Clue: The Traitor]

Same thing here.
