  1. Sorry to be that guy, but Greg's more recent revelations never cease to disappoint me. EDIT: Fixed a minor grammatical error.
  2. Am I the only person here who doesn't think that the switching from Mata Nui to Metru Nui was such a huge tonal shift as people make it out to be? Sure, a tribal setting is different from an urban setting but the mystical elements, such as Toa being the mythical chosen ones instead of expendable troops the expanded universe turned them into, were still there. To be honest, it was never too annoying for me. As a kid, I either substituted such villains with MOCs or some non-Lego objects. With that said, it still seems like a rather odd marketing strategy on Lego's part. However, as far as the "Where did G1 go wrong?" question goes, I'll have to agree with the people who said that the post-toyline serials were unnecessary and had some of the silliest ideas in the entire story.
  3. It's even better when you realize that most Bionicle characters were created artificially - the Toa Mata being created by Arthaka and the Matoran being built via some sort of machine operated by Turaga. xD
  4. Huh, at first I thought the hole in the wall was some sort of a visual reference to the Ignika/Mata Nui symbol.
  5. Personally, I'm pretty tired of the "Bionicle G2 failed because of a certain arbitrary thing I happened to dislike - and it has to be true because the mere fact that G2 ended somehow proves it true" logical fallacy present in the community. It's okay to speculate about the reasons why G2 got cancelled but at least try to stomach the fact that you may be wrong, okay?
  6. At this rate I think we can reasonably expect it in 2037.
  7. It should be noted that Vakama's "own powers" (I suppose you're talking about his Elemental Powers, right?) have been used up while battling Lohrak.
  8. They tried switching the focus to an entirely new cast of characters in 2009 and it didn't work at all. In my opinion, Tahu & Co. were an important part of Bionicle's identity (being the most iconic Toa in the whole story, as well as having the most set forms) and I'd like to see them again in any hypothetical reboot of the franchise. All-new universe populated entirely by unrecognizable characters would possibly feel like a Fan Fiction (with only OCs) or a different Lego theme altogether.
  9. Some websites have rules against selling bootlegs as far as I know...
  10. Maybe Core Hunter's and Von Nebula's Hero Cores are just covered by their (new) armor? Granted, the latter's HC doesn't connect anywhere on the set and the former doesn't include it at all but the sets have never been 100% accurate to the story. The theory could be backed up by the fact that Core Hunter has a Superhero chestplate on top of a 'standard' Breakout Hero torso... I could also symbolize the fact that these two villain can't escape their origins no matter how much they try. I don't want to sound rude but that's certainly a good thing...
  11. Fair enough. Personally, I abandoned the idea of the shorter Protectors eventually but I think shorter size could be achieved by shortening the limbs, the CCBS armor shells and the torso by 2-3 pixels each - I actually tried that but I didn't save the result (it looked terrible and needed a lot of work anyway). It made the Protector roughly the same height as a 2008 Av-Matoran, however. As far as the colors go, I pointed them out because the color palette you used in the kit seems quite washed out, honestly (and no offence for that). I know that you tried to make the colors as true to the sets as you could but what's realistic isn't always the best for pixel art and more contrasting, defined colors of the original Rayg 2.5 work a lot better in my opinion.
  12. To be honest, I won't miss Mixels too much. The sets were cute and all but the show failed to capture my interest, to say the least. I just hope the pieces introduced for this theme (smaller ball joints, ball joint and 1x1 round tile eyes, etc.) will be reused in other themes.
  13. I want that black piston add-on... Other than that the figures don't particularly excite me. I'm afraid that after Bionicle's cancellation we'll end up getting CCBS pieces mostly in colors such as browns, greys, black and white. I can't blame Lego for that, considering most clothes and suits of armor in SW are either grey, black or brown but I still hope we'll get an original IP with more vibrant color schemes.
  14. I've got a couple of wild Kraata I'd like to sell (sell, not trade) but you have to wait until I come back home the next Saturday.
  15. Well, it helps that CCBS actually blends very well into the aesthetics of Lego System, while the same can't be said about the Bionicle parts. Well, Exo Force did use the Bionicle weapons and feet effectively but that was because it avoided using the most greebly ones (pieces like Toa Mata Feet, Matau's Aero Slicers, Gali's Hooks or Takanuva's Staff are relatively minimalistic for Bionicle standards, the use of the Metru feet was a mistake, though - but I probably wouldn't complain about them if they came in some unique color ).
