Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) Its sets were just slight variants of inika bodies. (Even the Makuta of 08 hade different bodies) Bright candyish colors. A lot of the characters were bland The story wasn't as deep and complex. At least for me personally.A lot of these points aren't very reflective of the sets themselves though (I do agree that a lot of the Glatorian and Agori really were periphery and not memorable as characters). I agree the Inika bodies were lame but at least we had some nice variation with sets like Skrall, Vorox, Strakk, Kiina and Gresh (to an extent). There were some cool things done. I honestly liked the aesthetic way better than 2008's. And yeah, they were bright. I loved that. Definitely brought back a lot of 2001-03 colours and that really helped with the refreshed tribal vibe. I liked the more vibrant colour schemes than the duller monochrome schemes of Metru Nui era or the dark palette of the Ignition era. -NotS Edited December 14, 2014 by Nidhiki of the Shadows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) I see we have vastly different opinions...Looks like one of us will have to die No, but seriously, what is your stance on the original wave then, considering the colours were brighter than the Glatorian wave? Interested on hearing your thoughts. -NotS Edited December 14, 2014 by Nidhiki of the Shadows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoSWfan Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 O_O ...die?! True, but they were balanced out with blacks and greys, (gears, shoulders, faces.) you had green on green, red on black, orange on red, gold on blue, blue on white in the glatorian wave.

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) I was pretty okay with that though. I liked seeing colour schemes that really broke away from the norm (which is why I liked Hahli Mahri so much). But yeah, I can see what you are saying about the original line. The black did help divvy up the colour distribution, maybe which is why the Rahkshi and Takanuva seem so weird to me. -NotS Edited December 14, 2014 by Nidhiki of the Shadows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayk Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I always loved Lesovikk, personally. Really hearkened back to ol' Takanuva and the Ussanui. Great colors, too. The lime green Faxon was a great choice for him. Good pieces on his sea sled, and it was great to get Pridak's blade in silver.

Volitak_Boxor Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Nocturn. Like a Barraki, but bigger/more complex. I liked the GITD/trans-blue/lime, and the lime was all balls and no sockets, so it didn't even break! The expression with the Carapar head and a Piraka foot for a jaw instead of Barraki mandibles was pretty neat, too. 1 Quote ^ Often lurking, occasionally writing about sets on BS01.

JMSOG Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I accidentally voted for both pridak and hydraxon...My actual vote is hydraxon. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Malachives Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 I have a list of sets that have minus a vote, well only 2, if it effects the verdict (doesn't seem like it will for either of them) I will comment on it when I post the poll of the winners of each year (or maybe a tiebreaker poll before that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
