bioniclepluslotr Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 What's the last set you've opened and when, given Bionicle ended 5 years ago? Mine was the Baranus V7 I opened today. I got it in 2010 but I planned on saving it for a day when I feel nostalgic about Bionicle since it ended. But then they rebooted it so I just opened it anyways. I really enjoy the old system to the HF sets I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumiki Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 It was one of the Stars—I want to say it was the Rahkshi, but I'm not sure. Quote avatar by Lady Kopaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UngluedBike Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I actually opened a Pohatu Nuva this year. I already have the set, but it was really damaged Quote Also, if you're a resident of the UK and like Bionicle, go ahead and join us at this awesome Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/BFUK7/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambion Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 it's been a year or so since i got a Bionicle set - my Brickfair haul was 100% System this year. pretty sure the last one i picked up was the Thornatus, though; back in August '13.

xccj Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Piraka Stars was the last actual Bionicle set I purchased and opened. I've bought plenty of Bionicle parts that were new to me thru Bricklink and such since then. Oh, and I've picked up some old Bionicle pens and a card pack since the theme ended, but those don't really count as sets.

Nescent Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Great question...I want to say it was Nektan, but it could have been any one of the Stars. I bought Pohatu Mata in his canister a month ago, but I guess that doesn't count since he wasn't sealed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boidoh Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I've gotten a lot since BIONICLE ended, I have about 7-fold the amount I had in 2010. Though NIB? Hmm. The last NIB BIONICLE set I opened was Rahkshi Stars, which I got in September.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Tahu Stars, back in 2010. I only got him because he was Tahu and one of the last sets to be made for Gen 1 Bionicle.

Iblis Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Chirox was my last set, although there were a few other sets which I bought for other people (Toa Lhikan & Kikanalo, Boggarak, Keerlerak, Ehlek, Zesk, Vorox, STARS Tahu, STARS Rahkshi, & a few Bohrok and Rahaga, & Toa Nuva [can't remember which]), which would make the STARS Rahkshi the last one I bought.

FallenCor Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 It was either the Stars Takanuva or rahkshi, sometime during the tail end of 2010. I bought them with a Lego gift-card I had received for that Christmas/birthday, I think. The only reason I went with the rahkshi was because Tahu was sold out at the time, and I figured I'd be collecting them all at some point anyway (never did, though...).

2Tie Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Hmmm, can't fully remember as it was three and a half years ago, but it was probably STARS Skrall.

Aanchir Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 One of the Protectors. Or if we're just talking G1, probably one of the Stars. I didn't have a lot of gaps in my collection so haven't felt any pressing need to "complete" my collection since the theme ended. Plus, once Hero Factory shifted to the new building system, those sets gave me a level of satisfaction that old-school BIONICLE sets struggled to deliver. Classic BIONICLE wasn't bad, but it felt very "been there, done that" and I had been dabbling in it for years. The Character and Creature Building System in 2011 gave me an opportunity to learn to MOC all over again, but without the inconvenience of snapping joints or the frustration of parts of a model not being stylistically consistent. I can fully understand why people who didn't really take to the new building system (or who just avoided Hero Factory on principle) might have felt pressured to go back and buy older BIONICLE sets, whether for MOCs or just for that kinesthetic feeling of putting a set together. But Hero Factory really put that urge to rest for me for as long as it was around. And now that BIONICLE is coming back and using the same building system, I get to enjoy the best of both worlds! 2 Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it weren't different, I would not enjoy the new system so much more than the old system. And it's impossible to change things so substantially without SOME people preferring the way they were before.

JMSOG Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) It was the Tahu stars. While i would have loved for the first set I opened to have been Tahu Mata so that I could have had an oddly symbolic full-circle moment, i'm 90% sure the first set I opened was one of the mctoran, and I opened Tahu within the next hour or so. Oh well. Edited November 30, 2014 by JMSOG 1 Quote Hi. If you remember me from when I was most active on BZP, from 2009-2011... I know I was cringy. But please keep in mind I was literally 12.

Vezon shall Return Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I think it was Brutaka...

Now I roam around on here making unusual comments and occasionally post art here and there. lol (Some of which is not always accepted. lol) But I do indeed try... to be somewhat amusing, even if I am the only one who is laughing. lol Quote "Don't!
