ankyfdarkness Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 If you could change the colors of some of your parts, which ones would you change and why?For example, I'd change many of my Metru grey pieces to trans blue, because Metru grey parts are abundant and trans blue parts are not.

Let's Henshin! Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I'm just gonna go ahead and say whats probably on a lot of people's minds. Blue and Red pins. Also I would change the hordika head pieces to come in a variety of colors, I use them a lot and IMO it'd be nice if they had a better variety of color.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I would love to have green versions of many of the weapons that came with my Bionicle sets.

LordofBionicles Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I would like to change any kind of armor piece to the brown color, I once entered one of the many MOC contests here and I wanted to make the most brown-colored titan I could, unfortunately due to Hewkii being yellow and gunmetal in 2006 it was impossible for me to do so, thanks Hewkii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a goose Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I'd make the webbed Piraka feet in blue, grey and red, as well as the long Piraka arms which were used in Takadox (grey). Oh, and the Vahki heads (For the grey, that is).If anyone hasn't caught on to what I'm suggesting at this point, they haven't played BZPRPG.I believe that with the webbed Piraka feet in more colours, MOC'ing the species I made up (Mystix) would be far easier. Because you wouldn't have to put green feet on a blue character. It would be helpful in a lot of other places, too, now that I think about it...The webbed Piraka feet are awesome.

Sumiki Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Make tons of parts clear.I've always wanted a completely clear set. Quote avatar by Lady Kopaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aanchir Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Change the 2003 Takanuva from Metallic Sand Yellow to Reddish Gold (the color of Nuhvok-Kal's Krana-Kal) or Warm Gold (the current gold color, introduced between 2005 and 2006). Metallic Sand Yellow is not at all a vibrant gold color and I don't think it suits a Toa of Light.After that, change the 2008 Takanuva's Metallic Dark Grey parts to the same color. I loved him in Metallic Dark Grey, but it would have been great if there had been an alternate version with gold armor and mask. It certainly would have been a better store-exclusive variant set than the yellow Jetrax.

Zarohum Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I'd change the color of Inika masks. They're some of the coolest mask powers, but it's impossible to spraypaint them and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dralcax Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) Black hordika necks , metru heads. and friction joints, black pins, change the old gold to Brutaka gold, and make Glatorian Mata Nui gold.

Quote Why are orange and black such a good color Combination ? Purple is pretty, and so is blue. Pink hurts your eyes, green is quite mellowing, black is very threatning, red is cool, orange is SO awesome, yellow's hard to read... But you can't see white at all! Oh, wait. I forgot brown. Here's my thoughts: If a person tells the truth and says, " I always lie," Is he lying? Or is he telling the truth? And what has a mouth, but no head, and a body, but no torso? Do caterpillars like to tend to supporting colum of stone's every need? Or is that name misleading by nature? Speaking of nature, why are the children of animals called offspring? don't many young beasts come alive in spring, and thus, should be called onspring? Heeeeeeyy.....

I don't see what the point was in doing that. It really makes absolutely NO SENSE.The point was that it was easier for many buyers (presumably younger builders) to build the models if parts had contrasting colors, both in the sets themselves and in the instruction booklets. It's the same reason a lot of LEGO System sets have bricks in the interior in colors that don't appear at all on the outside of the model. It makes the instruction booklets more legible, and the parts easier to tell apart from one another (there are many different types of 2M and 3M pin/axle that are difficult to tell apart at a glance, much less in a pile of parts).Even before the introduction of blue and red pins, odd-numbered Technic axles got changed from black to grey. More recently, the standard 3M axle with a stud and stopper on the end has been changed to Sand Yellow (dark tan).

Those of us to whom LEGO building comes more naturally should be willing to make small allowances.By the way, another set I'd have changed the colors for is Vezon & Fenrakk. Some early images of the set showed Fenrakk in Reddish Brown rather than Dark Red, but the final set had only one piece on Vezon's Staff of Fusion in Reddish Brown. By now every BIONICLE fan should understand why TLG would change a brown set to a color other than brown, but at the same time I can't help but wonder how cool some of those parts would have been in Reddish Brown.
