The Hip Historian Iaredios Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) At least with zamors you can shoot them and have creative uses with them (the latter is the same for cordak ammunition). The squidsters however, are useless; I feel inclined to say the same about the rhotuka spinners, but at least they can be shot from their launcher with ease.

Nescent Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 The squid weren't collectibles though, were they? Just ammunition, which you could buy separately. I liked the squid though, they were weird. I think that Kanoka were the worst collectible. Different numbers...how fun... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bfahome Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Going literally on "collectible", Kraata. Too many, functionally useless, only reason to get them was to get them. A lot of later things weren't so much collectibles as they were ammo, so they weren't meant to have collectible value, and don't. I think the last thing that could really be called collectibles were the Rhotuka, and only because of the color blends in the packs (which you weren't guaranteed a full set of in one pack). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different numbers...how fun...I think Squids are considered collectibles because you could buy them on their own, but I do have to agree they are the worst. They look cool, but they fail as a collectible because there isn't much to collect. You have squids in varying shades of yellow-orange, and squids in varying shades of blue-green in the pack. Literally all the other collectibles had more variety. I actually quite liked the Kanoka because of their Metru-specific symbols. 1 Quote "You are an absolute in these uncertain times.

Kopekemaster Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Squids, probably. I mean, they looked cool, but there was no reason to get multiples of them, since they all look the same, and gosh darn they just don't work. Zamors worked good, at least, and there were a few different colors available. I think the Kraata were pretty cool collectible-y, though. Different patterns and colors, and even within the same colors there were different blend pattern things. Quote My Writing Blog (more writing coming soon!)

Spiffy247 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I don't have a least favorite collectible, but I have a least favorite collectible memory. The stores in my area had just gotten the Kanohi from the first wave of Toa. So I had Dad drive me to ToysRUs I was walking into the Lego aisle and saw a shelf full of them. I get closer and realize every single one was opened, and all the good masks removed. Jerks. Quote A fish wielding vampire. That's Spiffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyichir Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) Of the actually collectible collectibles... Kraata. There were an obscene number of them to collect, even compared to the original Kanohi and Krana. They were mostly two-color blends that sometimes involved colors that weren't even used for other parts, severely limiting their usefulness. And unlike Kanohi and Krana, they might as well be invisible on the sets they belonged to—unlike those earlier collectibles, the only time you would actually see a Kraata was when it was exposed and on its own, since otherwise they were hidden under the Rahkshi's back armor.An honorable mention goes to Kanoka discs, which instead of appearing in multiple colors, appeared in the same color with one of six printed patterns and a randomized number. Yaaaaaaaaay. Even if you include later "collectibles" (which were really just ammo packs), those at least had an effect on the look and color scheme of sets and MOCs, which is more than you can say for the Kraata or Kanoka. And you didn't have to buy a ridiculous number of packs for the sake of a complete collection. So I'd probably still rank them higher.

Plus, I thought the chance of getting a Great Disk was definitely more fun than the endless Krataa.

Irrie Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I think I would have liked the Kanoka more if the numbers were unique to the Kanoka itself, not standardized for the set that you bought it with. Quote bZpOwEr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, I thought the chance of getting a Great Disk was definitely more fun than the endless Krataa. I... don't actually know. From what I understood it was "random" in that the three digit number could have any of the three digits could be any one of the values, but I could be completely wrong about that. Regardless, I disliked them. It didn't matter what the chances of getting a Great Disk were, because the Great Disks sucked. They looked like any of the other disks, with only the numbers on them to set them apart. So much more disappointing than the original Kanohi or Krana, though they edged out the Kraata by virtue of actually being functional and visible on their respective sets.

Bfahome Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) According to BS01 there were 51 disks, "eight from each of the Metru and three other disks". 12 of them being from the Matoran and Vahki, the six Great Disks, and the extra three probably being Nidhiki's and Krekka's and the Disk of Time, the 30 codes listed at the bottom of the page were the only real "random" ones. Makes sense, because it wasn't just a case of injecting a new color into the same mold, it required an entirely different print, and nearly 400 (6*8*8=384, +6 Great Disks) prints would be quite a lot to do. (Also, it wasn't just the number that was different, it was also the number of "bars" around the top, which corresponded to the disk's power level; for example, 5. Still barely a difference, though, as far as collectible variety is concerned.) Edited December 30, 2015 by Bfahome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Inika Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 There were 15 disks you could receive from sets (6 Vahki, 6 Matoran, 2 Dark Hunters, and Vakama) and the Disk Packs contained a totally different set of disks: the Great Disks and one of six or so random disks containing other numbers.

Xan Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Since everybody has already said the obvious choices, I'd say Kraata. The idea is cool, and I like that like the Krana there were different ones for each of the Rahkshi, but did we really need 250? It's a completionists nightmare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPIRIT Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Zamor and Squid were barely collectible, so I'm going to go with the minority opinion and say that I was totally fine with the Kanoka and totally not fine with the Rhotuka. At least there was a storyline explanation for the disks and a whole lore about their powers. The Rhokuta felt like random colours of plastic they had lying around the factory and smushed together to make a quick buck. It was nice that they have Kanoka club codes and storage holders on the Hordika canisters, but on the whole they were the least satisfying to collect out of everything.

Grungemeister Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I'm pretty sure the Kanoka numbers have actual significance. One number is the Metru (1-6), one is ability/property (freezing, reconstitution at random, numbers 1-8, 9 was reserved for the Disk of Time) and one was the power level (1-8, 9 was reserved for the Great Disks). That is coming totally from memory, so it may not be totally accurate.

evil_jaga_genius Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 My least favorite are the Rhotuka. I liked the squid (mainly because of that one animation with the singing squid), Zamors can be used in anything, Kraata introduced us to all those lovely Rahkshi powers (and I suppose by extension, Corpus Rahkshi), but Rhotuka are just... dumb. You have to use that special little axle-thing which doesn't attach to ANYTHING else, and use a special little ripcord, and... it's just too dang hard to use on anything other than a Visorak. Though, granted, the Visorak were kinda cute when they had the cord inside them and it looked like they were sticking their tongues out at something =P For all the hate the Kanoka are getting, nobody's brought up the original McToran disks. At least the Kanoka were better than those, the originals didn't glow in the dark. 2 Quote Avatar by Nicholas Anderson (NickonAquaMagna)My blog: The Jaga's Nest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akuna Toa of Sonics Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I'm going with the kraata, as I don't consider zamor spheres or squids collectibles as much as I do ammunition. There is a ridiculous number of kraata to collect, and while they can look cool, they don't do much. If you want to use them, you won't even see them in rahkshi shells, unlike krana or kanohi. Plus, some of the color combinations are...questionable. Quote Does anyone want to play the Master Chief Collection with me? I'm trying to get a team going for ranked. PM for GT.
