This looks insanely good, almost as if we've taken a leap into an alternate dimension where the 4th and 5th Bionicle movies were based on the Inika and Mahri respectively. You have a talent for this sort of thing, and it would be a shame if you were to ever give it up. Great job! Also, as many others have said before, I'd be more than happy to help with voice acting or anything else that may be needed, should you ever decide to make a full-length version.

Now THAT is awesome. I love how you managed to keep the function as well. 10/10.

A giant predatory fish said to exist only in the deepest of waters, the Kraga Nui's name translates to "Great Water Shadow", which is said to be the last thing its victims see before they are swallowed whole. Entry Pic This model took me about 5 straight days of building to create, and I'm very happy with how it turned out. It was a bit tricky at first, especially with getting the mouth to work, but overall I believe this model manages to capture what made Bionicle's early years so great. Additional Pics.

i built a stand for my MOC. Will the stand count towards the Technic/System ratio?

1) Please describe how you joined the VIP program and how you make use of the it today. During this year's May the 4th event, I ordered a set I had been eyeing a few days earlier. When I saw that I would also get double VIP points, that was enough to convince me to sign up. 2) Please identify the key benefits the LEGO VIP program provides for teen and adult LEGO users such as yourself I haven't had a real chance to use it yet, but from what I understand the program is very generous and is great for regular and hardcore Lego fans. 3) How does the VIP program influence your LEGO experiences, such as the LEGO sets and themes you are interested in? My plan is, once the summer 2016 Bionicle sets are available on Shop@Home, I'll use my VIP points to help me purchase them. I'd say the program definitely helps encourage you to buy more Lego, since it's almost like getting free sets. 4) Please brainstorm ideas related to additional experiences teen and adult LEGO VIP members would like access to I personally wouldn't mind getting some sort of label next to my account name, or maybe pins for those who like to flaunt their love of Lego everywhere. Perhaps these labels/pins could correspond to how much you've spent on Lego sets? (Ex: Purchasing up to 100 sets or $1,000 worth of Lego from Shop@Home or Lego stores will grant you the title of "Lego Maniac", with a pin to prove it.) 5) Please look into how teen and adult VIP members would want to be treated as a VIP when they come to the LEGO store, call the contact center and otherwise get into contact with the LEGO Group I personally have never been to a Lego store or called Lego before, which shows how quality their products are. That said, I would expect them to treat me as any other customer, nothing more, nothing less.

Ordered a Sith Infiltrator for 77 bucks. I was eyeing it the day before but couldn't justify spending 90$ USD on it. The free goodies and double VIP points + it being on sale was too good to pass up, though.

This is the single most true post you will ever find on the internet. What I wouldn't give to go back to the good old days. Before social media, before smartphones. Back when kids played with toys instead of tablets, and when people actually talked to each other instead of texting. Where did everything go so wrong?

Maybe the MoC controls whoever wears it, sort of like the Orb of Confusion.

Bury me with my Kanohi collection (Yes, all 5 of them).

This is my favorite theory, mostly because it would "rhyme" with G1's reveal, in the sense that the big good/bad ends up being the big bad/good (Ex: Makuta taking control of Mata Nui's body when everyone thought awakening him would bring peace). Imagine how shocked everyone would be if it turned out Ekimu was the one who summoned the Toa and led them on the false pretenses that they were saving Okoto, but they were actually collecting the masks for Ekimu so he could use all of them to take over the island. Meanwhile, Makuta was actually living in a self-imposed exile after he sealed Ekimu away because he felt he had failed the Okotoans, and the Toa have to find him since he's their last chance to stop Ekimu and save the island. It would rhyme with G1 without being a total rehash.

Attack: Fire Defense: Stone

I'd like any available spot, but shadow is my preference.

Beautiful. This image is obviously an homage to early 2000's culture, as evidenced by the Gameboy Advance SP. The computer windows are from an earlier era, an era before social media and smart phones took the world by storm. An era before government surveillance and the "I do what I want" attitude that has been ingrained into the minds of today's youth. We are the last generation to know what the internet was like before Facebook and Instagram took over, making us modern relics. The bust of Julius Caesar superimposed over the head of Tahu clearly shows how the artist feels: Bionicle is a work of art, one which has been immortalized in both physical and digital form. The furrowed brow and wandering eyes of Wojak Feels signifies a nostalgic viewpoint, a longing to return to simpler times, back when the most we had to worry about was whether the Toa would succeed or fail in their quest to defeat Makuta. However, since Wojak is a modern meme, this can also be interpreted as simply feeling sorrow for the new generation of children who will never know the joy and significance of G1 Bionicle. The hand of God touching the computer hand signifies a link, from past to present. Another link between past and present exists with the modern quote from Jaden Smith in the computer window, which is stylized in a way reminiscent of early computer culture. The various "no"'s can be interpeted as the artist's grief as he remembers his childhood, yearning to go back to those carefree days, even if for only a few moments as he indulges in Bionicle related media (Represented by the computer in the bottom right corner); Or perhaps they are simply in his mind, as he struggles to accept that he can never relive the past and must move along with his life. Finally, the bottle of Fiji water is there to remind us of the mysterious island aesthetic that 2001 Bionicle had. Water is the substance of life, just as nostalgia is the substance of dreams. In short, beautiful. 10/10.

At the minimum, buy all the stone sets. Preferably, buy all the stone and earth sets, as well as the big baddies, sets with special masks (Like Ekimu and Umarak), and the books.

Mask packs Netflix series More technic-based sets

The only "confirmation" I've heard is coming from rumors. Rumors which LR spread in the first place. It seems very likely that Marvel is the one spreading these rumors to LR themselves, since I just can't imagine they would let something as big as the Spider-Man casting leak out so easily. If it really is Asa, however...I could see it. My top choice will always be Dylan, but if I had to have a second choice, Asa would probably be it. He just needs to work on his American accent and quipping with it.

So, on the topic of who's going to be playing the new Spider-Man... (HUGE SPOILER BELOW) Whew, that was a mouthful, but it's just my two cents.

Nice to know we'll be getting more combiners next wave. I hope they keep with this trend for future sets.

-Tahu represents Russia. Tahu is red, and communists were typically called Reds. He is also hotheaded, and always eager to start fights and burn everything to the ground (Much like a nuclear bomb would do) -Kopaka is a metaphor for Britain, since he's both a) white, and b) cold (Two things which Britain is). What's more, he and Tahu constantly clash with one another, sort of how Churchill and Stalin were always at ends with one another -Onua is America. He's a sleeping giant who is friendly to everyone, but who can be absolutely devastating in a fight. He also manages to stop Tahu and Kopaka when they start wrestling, sort of how America always has to play peacekeeper -Pohatu is Australian. This is obvious because of his boomerangs and hardened attitude (And because he lives in the desert). He seems to show apathy towards the other Toa's infighting and arguing, and instead chooses to stay focused on his goal. This could stand for how Australia is a separate landmass from the rest of the world, yet it still deals with the rest of the world -Gali acts as a sort of peacekeeper, much like the United Nations does today. Eventually, the other Toa decide to follow her advice and work together. However, it's under the command of Red/Communist Tahu -Lewa stands for Revisionist History. Think about it: Lewa's the one who resembles his original 2001 self the least. He's now Jungle instead of Air, his mask barely resembles the Miru, and he doesn't use treespeak anymore. Also, the Forgotten City is in the ruins of Le-Koto, symbolizing the past which was buried deep beneath revisionism so no one would find it and learn the truth -The Protectors are the average citizens. They blindly aid their Toa without fully knowing their intentions, placing their trust in these figures because they offer them safety in times of darkness and hardship -LOSS stands for media sensationalism. He was built up as this big bad boss who would no doubt give the Toa a run for their money, but when they finally face him he's not as bad as we thought. Much like how the media today loves twisting stories around to make them seem 10x worse than they really are Conclusion: Bionicle 2015 is a metaphor for the New World Order.

For some reason, I get a major nostalgia vibe whenever I look at G2 Pohatu. Not even because he was my first, but there's something about his printed chestplate and his colors that reminds me of the good ol' days (Early 2000's, to be precise). I've also found myself playing with my sets every day before bed, and it's given me some sort of comfort that helps me sleep a little better. So yes, I'd say my inner child has awoken.

According to the leaked Sony emails, they were planning on making Spider-Man vs The Amazing Spider-Man. Personally, that's something I want to see. I imagine the films would be a semi-serious parody of the entire franchise. Tobey and Andrew would both be old as sin at that point. Imagine seeing two old, balding, out of shape Spider-Men trying to do stunts and throw punches, while they make quips at one another. The ending could be them both just relaxing together as best friends with their respective love interests (Tobey with MJ/Kirsten Dunst, Andrew with Gwen/Emma Stone) as they talk about who was the better Spider-Man.

I honestly wouldn't mind Miles Morales coming in at some point, but first we need good ol' Pete. It's not gonna feel right at all if the first Spidey we get in the MCU isn't the one everyone has been used to since the 60s. I'd just want them to cast someone young and who looks like the comics (Not Donald Glover, who's too old, or Jayden Smith, who looks nothing like comic Miles). Speaking of casting, I really hope Dylan O'Brien is chosen for Spidey. For one, he looks and acts exactly like Peter does in the comics. Plus, he's said before he wants to be Spider-Man, so he'd be absolutely dedicated to the role.

What are your guy's ideas/theories/hopes for the future of Spidey? -Dylan O'Brien as Peter/Spidey. -JK Simmons returns as J. Jonah Jameson. -Enemies could be Mysterio and Shocker (With Kingpin possibly behind it all) -Possible tie-in with Daredevil, with the two having to team up to take them down (Shocker using his vibrations to mess with DD's senses; DD ends up fighting Mysterio instead since he isn't phased by his illusions; Spidey and DD bro'ing it up the whole time). -Web swinging, fight scenes, and Mysterio's illusions. All in 3D stereo surround sound.

I know how you feel. It makes me feel pretty disappointed, since I was actually looking forward to seeing the Sinister Six, Venom, and ASM3 come to theaters. It also sucks that we won't get Andrew, Emma, or Dane again, since they were great actors. Still, I'm happy he's back with Marvel, since maybe now Spidey will get the treatment he deserves. I don't see why everyone loves Raimi so much. Sure, when his Spidey films were first released, they were awesome, but looking back on them now they're riddled with all sorts of flaws (The overly campy attitude and dialogue, Spidey always getting beaten up in every single fight he's in, inaccuracies with the comics, Mary Jane being nothing more than a prop, etc). I honestly hope he doesn't come back for this installment, mostly because I want to see a Spidey that works in the MCU and not...whatever Raimi and Tobey gave us. I understand why people say that, and I agree. The ASM films we got weren't nearly as good as they could have been. When you read about what Webb and the writers had originally planned (The entire series leading up to the birth of the Goblin, instead of the Sinister Six), you can tell they had a certain vision in mind. Unfortunately, Sony had to meddle with everything, since all they really cared about was having their own cinematic universe to compete with Marvel and DC. I'm sure that if Sony hadn't meddled so much, ASM2 would have been one of the best Spidey films in a long time.

I'm kind of sad that we won't get to see the conclusion to the Amazing series, but I feel like this is the best choice, especially given Sony's track record with executive meddling.
