Tahu3.0 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I am wondering if they can actually break. I'm just a simple man, trying to make my way in the Matoran Universe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chro Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Basically anything can break. They're more resilient than the earlier Techinc/Bionicle sockets, but yes, the CCBS sockets can indeed be broken. 2 save not only their lives but their spirits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Nui Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) When I was making the two MOCs for the Battle For The Gold Mask competition that I submitted, none of the pieces ever broke despite me disconnecting and connecting the joint pieces back together numerous times. But as Chro said, they can eventually break. They're SIGNIFICANTLY stronger though, so "Just take great care of the pieces" is my advice for anyone who is thinking the same question.

The 1st Shadow Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 They were designed to survive being taken apart multiple times, excess playwear... But not being smashed by a hammer. That's basically what it would take. 2 ~Your friendly, neighborhood Shadow ~Credit for Avatar and Banner goes to NickonAquaMagna~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1st Shadow Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Tonight on Mythbusters: we take a LEGO piece and we run over it with a tank to see if it breaks.Epic win. I think the tank would lose. 3 ~Your friendly, neighborhood Shadow ~Credit for Avatar and Banner goes to NickonAquaMagna~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishers64 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 They were designed to survive being taken apart multiple times, excess playwear... But not being smashed by a hammer. That's basically what it would take.If they ever design CCBS pieces in pink, I would buy an entire set of it just to test that theory. Of note - you'd probably need something like a vise to hold the piece, otherwise it would just flop around upon impact and not really do any damage. 2 Hero Factory RPG | Bionicle Mafia XXIX: Storyline & Theories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnderscoreChronix Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) They are like steel compared to the old Bionicle parts. Seriously, you can be pretty much as rough as you want when putting them together and taking them apart and they will not even crack.

doodleloot Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I had one single bone socket break in the three years the CCBS has been out. The rest of my pieces are still doing fine. They are nowhere near as brittle as the older Bionicle sockets. 1 Hail Denmark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aanchir Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Any LEGO piece can break, but the BIONICLE sockets (particularly from 2007–2010) broke much more often than any LEGO piece ever should. The CCBS ball cups almost never break. I have never personally had one break. I have heard reports from one person who has had them break semi-frequently, but nobody I've spoken with has ever managed to figure out why that person's parts are so much more brittle than anybody else's. Best I can figure is there's some environmental factor to blame. 3 Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
