TehBestMemberEvar!1 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) I handed in my donation box today! Unfortunately, the place doesn't do receipts anymore (I guess they want you to value it yourselves for tax purposes?), so I don't really know how much they value the stuff at, but for the record I donated: 1) Bionicle Adventures Chapter Books 1-10 (new condition)2) Bionicle Legends Chapter Books 1-11 (new condition)3) Bionicle: The Legend Reborn hardcover + bonus DVD (good condition)4) two Bionicle t-shirts (medium sized, like new -- hardly worn) and ... 5) a silver Kanohi Hau, and map of Mata Nui from the Power Pack. As it turns out, my comics were missing staples (must have taken them out at some point), so I didn't hand those in. But it was still a good variety of stuff! In the end, I really ought to be thanking Torsti, because this pushed me to overcome a little bit more of my OCD. (Parting with this box three years ago would have been out of the question, so I'm grateful I had a reason to do it.) Thanks for the stuff, and as always, I look forward to the next batch!

Torsti Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) Hey guys My friend with the video equipment is back and ready to help me out with the VHS tape. Guess it might happen sometime during the coming week. But let's see. Soon at least. I have been a bit busy lately so I haven't been able to document the Style guide folder. Hope I get some time soon to look into that. But I guess you guys are more excited about the contents of the VHS All in good time.. Torchbearer: It was a challenge, but a fun one. Every design process has it's dificulties, but if you really love what you are doing it is more a mission than a task. I have many times been sitting and working on a Lego project, listening to my favorite music, doing good stuff and suddenly thinking: "I'm actually getting paid for this. How lucky am I?". But it's the same old story, I didn't just fall into my situation, it took years of dedication and hard work. Have a nice weekend.

man774 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Man, I remember being so excited one year on my birthday, opening up Tarix. Thank you, My good sir. The book in the style guide reminds me of a book my mom bought me and my brother way back when... I must have read that thing at least 23 times over. I remember I got the book after the Mask of Light movie came out. There was a page about the "mysterious seventh toa" that told some prophecy about Takanuva. I was like "Don't they know it's Takua? Didn't they see the movie?", not realizing the book was older 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torsti Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 Hey Guys I am so sorry. A lot of things happened over a year ago. Moving and getting a new job and stuff... I am now a model designer for Legoland Parks, working in Billund. I got thrown into a whirlwind of projects and totally forgot about this thing. Well, I still owe you a glimpse at the VHS tape. My friend with the converting machine moved permanently to Copenhagen, so that option is off. But I have a old vcr that works with my smart TV, so I can use my DSLR to record it. Then upload it for you guys to the tube, or something of your choice. How does that sound? Anybody got any idea about the worth of my mint condition Style Guide? Just asking for insurance reasons... Hope you see this post. Anyway, have a great weekend and again, sorry for the delay... Keep building! Torsti 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emily Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Glad to see you back, Torsti!

Aanchir Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Anybody got any idea about the worth of my mint condition Style Guide? Just asking for insurance reasons... Well, last year one sold on eBay for $349.95, so that might be the closest thing you'll get to an appraisal. That one included a different Rahkshi, but the contents otherwise seem to be the same as yours. Congrats on your new job!

Disciple Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Wow, I remember following this topic over a year ago! Glad to see you're back. That style guide is just awesome. It has everything that I always loved about the BIONICLE aesthetic. Such a simple, minimalist layout, but with so much detail put into the fonts and the images. I also like the way the box opens up, with the weird cut-outs that remind me of the 2002 Nuva Cube (or 2016 Uniter symbols, whichever you prefer). Please do share that video when you get a chance.

Something came up on Saturday that needed my attention over the weekend, so I couldn't film any. Sorry about that. I'm free whole next weekend, so let's see what happens.. Wow, man, you've got an awesome thing going on! On how many projects did you work so far? Did you design Tarix from scratch or was it just the blades? lol at how you kept them waiting for a year. :'D VHS is a tear-jerker. Thank you. For Lego I have worked on Bionicle, Star Wars, Chima and a lot of concept stuff. The year before I started at Legoland I was only working on concept development for the new Lego Brand House they are building in Billund. It will be a huge interactive Lego playhouse and museum. Guess you can start looking forward to that For Legoland I have mostly worked on the new Dubai park opening in October and the new Tokyo park opening next year. I designed Tarix' body from existing parts, just changed the colours. The mask and blades I designed from scratch based on a gladiator theme..
