Xabla Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Did any one see this? Kind of weird if you ask me. http://limeflavouredlibertarian24.tumblr.com/post/98688593979/heres-aninteresting-bionicle-2015-comparison It makes me wonder if they had stolen a leak or something. Does anyone have the (fake) set to see it in real life? Just curious about this. Quote cringe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xabla Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 I have no idea what IT is or where IT but wondered if it was a leak. I know the answer now, but now I want to know if someone owns it. Also we know refer to it as IT. Quote cringe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irrie Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Well, IT is super trippy. I bet it feeds on microorganisms on the seafloor, since its circular mouth is so tiny. Quote bZpOwEr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chro Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) I'm also surprised that people have apparently not noticed this. I thought the old "Blocko" Bionicle ripoff line was common knowledge, and I've seen quite a few people already who've compared the look of that one to Gali's 2015 incarnation. >.>(People have also compared Drake or whatever the red one's called to Tahu, which I can't really see? Definitely Tahu Nuva, not 2015.) Edited December 13, 2014 by Chro Quote save not only their lives but their spirits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xabla Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Oh, I don't see the Tahu comparison one. I just can see similarities. But when I was talking about similarities, I meant the almost scary comparison between the ITS and the new sets. Quote cringe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UngluedBike Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) You never know, maybe Lego took some inspiration from it. I knew someone would bring this up eventually, nice find.

Takhamavahu Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 This was a Chinese toy called Final Fighter from around 2004 or so made to resemble Bionicle without using actual lego molds.Some of them are prety original, but many of them are made to look like specific Bionicle toys if you squint. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=154688 Quote Flash Fire Adaptive Armour Where They All Are Tobduk Nikila Iron Wolf Artakha Adaptive Armour 2 Helryx Lariska Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when I was talking about similarities, I meant the almost scary comparison between the ITS and the new sets.I wouldn't say there's an "almost scary comparison"... it's a blue figure with a silver weapon and a mask that has a partial resemblance to Gali's. It isn't close to exactly the same by any means. (What does ITS stand for?) Quote save not only their lives but their spirits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xabla Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 I say almost scary since its hard to think they may have took a little inspiration from someone stealing ideas from their company. Quote cringe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumiki Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 This is quite the coincidence, I think—although it'd be interesting to see if this is the LEGO designers' preferred method of sticking it to the bootleggers. (A possibly relevant side note: that particular Tumblr user is disliked by the Tumblr side of the fandom for their re-posting of others' creations without due credit, even when reminded repeatedly, so I'd take that blog with a grain of salt.) 1 Quote avatar by Lady Kopaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emily Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I honestly want those blocko sets.Does anyone know if these are on Amazon or Ebay?They're bootlegs, so they're going to be pretty obscure. Your best bet is just to keep an eye on eBay and hope you get lucky.

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I think some of these look great - certainly loads better than direct cheap Lego knock-offs. The piece design and overall look are not bad at all. -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banana Gunz Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 These actually look pretty cool for bootlegs... I actually don't know if bootleg is the perfect word here, but they're very original for rip-offs. They're a tad bit funky, but still interesting to say the least. 1 Quote tumblr: it's a lovely place to be if you've gone madflickr: mah yummy gross pics mmmPew Pew Pew Pew Pew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmybob83 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I searched to see if they had this on Ebay. Nothing showed up. Amazon didn't either. My friend, after I managed to buy the red and blue "Toa" and the "rahkshi" on eBay about 7 years ago, I have been SCOURING the internet for the yellow and green Toa. I've NEVER been able to get my hands on them. If you get your hands on some, I'll buy them for twice what you paid. I regularly search ebay. I've used google image search to go to every website that has the images of the sets, and all I've ever been able to find are shady chinese/russian wholesale sites. I've emailed several over the years, hoping for the opportunity to just buy a handful of sets, but never hear back. I've googled every name ("Final Fighter" is one of about 6 names the sets are known by,) and I've googled every manufacturer name ("Blocko" is one of 2 or 3 names,) and I've never been able to find any for sale. So, long story short, unless you fly to Russia and go through every flea-market personally, you aren't getting your hands on them. ... Which is a real shame, because the masks from the red and blue Toa sets are fabulous for MOCing. 1 Quote My collection: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=551205 [MOC] Rahkshi - The 42: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=551007 [MOC] Toa Hagah: http://www.bzpower.com/board/topic/16807-toa-hagah-complete-customized-set/ [bUY] 3D Printable Kanohi: http://www.bzpower.com/board/topic/16930-3d-printable-kanohi-olisi-elemental-energy-more/ Help finish my Kraata collecion: http://www.bzpower.com/board/topic/16086-buyingtrading-kraata/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gallery will need to be approved on Brichshelf but here are some pictures: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=550791 Most of the parts are not compatible, but there are ways around that. You'll see pictures of some parts that are usable. Unfortunately, their ball joints do not fit snugly in Lego sockets.
