user-402520536 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I would shove them all in a huge backpack that I would wear everywhere and whenever some non-LEGO fan mentioned 'Bionicles' I would get all in their faces like 'OH YOU MEAN THESE' and 'GET ON MY LEVEL, UNBELIEVER'! I'd cover my house with them. Every room would have a designated 'season' or theme or something, like 2015 Toa in one place, Voya Nui Matoran in another, MOCs somewhere else... I wouldn't give a Manas if anyone else thought it was weird. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sydorack Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Not to get too off point, but a relationship should be about respecting each other's individualities.Also, shot in the dark, but maybe there are lots of women with geek hobbies too? That's what I've always thought, but all of the relationships I've been in have been toxic with me being used. They always dump me at bad times too. My first girlfriend dumped me at a dance, and the other after that on our anniversary. Hopefully my luck changes and I can find someone who views things as though we're equals instead of treating me as a slave to her whims.Anyway, that's a quite personal and off-topic matter. I plan on keeping my BIONICLE sets and at some point giving them to my future children.That sucks, well good luck to you.I haven't had a problem with my partners knowing I have Bionicles. They actually ask me to narrate the main story for them too. Not to go even MORE off topic than we already are buuuuuut... I only really make it apparent to my friends that I'm a Bonkle fan, and barely ever mention it around my partners. I actually managed to get my girl into Legos. She's not into bionicle at all really, but she's got all the Disney princess sets, and all our Lego movie sets are split between me and her. She has the guardians of the galaxy sets, and I even got her the ewok village. Including my bionicle collection, which makes up a good portion of this number, we have over 100 Lego sets on display at our place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallenCor Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Anything from 2001 is going to my office at Marvel wherever I end up, but I'll let my kids keep whatever they want. Maybe start 'em off with the McTorans and Stars and such until they're old enough to play with the really tiny pieces, ha ha. My comic-book collection is probably going to stay with my 2001 sets; especially the pre-Metru Nui comics. Everything else I'm going to hold on to for the time being and just see what happens.

Evergrey: Toa of Music Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 My Gen 2 sets will probably stay with me, but I'm starting to consider getting rid of most of my Gen 1 sets (save for the Toa Mata and Nuva and Bohrok). I love Gen 1, but they're just taking up so much space. I don't really need them at this point. The Gen 2 sets look better on display anyway and have more functionality. If there's a Gen 3, I'll likely collect those as well. 2 Quote Other great bands: Iron Maiden Journey Mercenary The Unguided Trivium Boston Stratovarius Symphony X Epica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobber Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I guess it really depends. I'll keep all of my Bionicles as long as possible, but if It came down to it, I'd sell my old G1 Bionicles for the extra cash. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa of Ice - 1987 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) I'm not letting go off mine, i might have graduated, be unemployed at 29 without a lady friend. But that doesnt mean i stop caring about me sets. I'll keep them for a least good 20-30 years more.Until then people are gonna have to pry them from my stone cold dead hands before i consider such a horrible fate as selling them, i'm at least waiting till their values rise by a good ammount.

Shadow Destroyer Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I refuse to sell mine. I did so with a few of my sets two years ago, but I was able to eventually buy most of them back.

Mocmaker Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) Currently I have been revamping them and MOCing them for use in stop motion. My plan is to use them for stop motion until I am 18 or a bit younger then pack them up and save them for my kids in the future. Because I don't want to be a 24 year old (or older) who still plays with his toys and purchases new ones for himself; maybe my signature can show you what I mean. ↓ Edited June 14, 2015 by Mocmaker 2 Quote If you don't like people that use their head and stand up to bullies, then you may not like me because I deal with bullies head on!

newbrick93 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I wanna get all of G2. Thankfully that's all I'll be getting, so it won't take up nearly as much space in my room. Atleast so far. ^^; For later on in life I'll just keep them as they are, sell them or give them to family/friends who really want them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumiki Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I consider it an artistic endeavor and will defend it as such to anyone who thinks it's childish. I think I'll always be tinkering with MOCing whenever I have the time. They may eventually get packed away for years, but I doubt I'd ever sell them unless I really had to. 2 Quote avatar by Lady Kopaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Windrider- Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I brought Pohatu, Gali, and the LoSS with me to grad school after winter break. All my Gen 1 sets, save Lhikan, are in pieces in a box, so if Gen 2 hadn't come around I don't know if I would have even bothered. But speaking of that box filled with parts, will I ever part with it? Unlikely. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Nekar Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I'm 27 and still have displays and I still build and collect. I've been to college, own my own home. All my partners have been completely cool with it or have their own. I find this incredibly reassuring, Im glad theres hope for a Bionicle nerd. I moved out for a year, realized I wouldn't have room for all my Bionicles anywhere, so I moved back to my house. And my house already ran out of room too .-. There's literally cases full of sets, and a few more random sets lying around the house. This is literally how my Baranus V7 has been displayed for the past year. That picture is so glorious I actually considered paying $46.99 for it... Aesthetic?? As for my collection, I feel like i will end up selling off a lot of my redundant g1 parts (so. many. limbs.) and build my collections of CCBS. In the future, I can see myself keeping and displaying them, and letting my children play with them. 2 Quote VV PM me if you have any of these masks!

Grungemeister Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) Well, one corner of my room has a couple totes filled with LEGOs, so I'll probably just bring them along wherever I go. It's not that much space. Certain Bonkles will remain unpacked, assembled, and displayed for all eternity. These include, but are not limited to, all of the MoLToran, all of the Vahki, and the Toa Mata and Toa Metru once I get them all.

Rooster Nui Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I'll probably store them in various categorised containers, in pieces. I'm thinking of placing all of the containers in a giant chest, if possible. That way, they can be preserved somewhere safe.
