Tohunga

Tohunga (3/293)

  1. 10 years? I've been a bionicle fan for 10 years? Wow. Anyway, I remember getting this game for Christmas in 2006, and I played it to no end. The bonus levels where you do nothing but fight endless amounts of enemies were pretty cool. And the piraka playground,ah, memories. I'd say my favorite part of the game is the soundtrack. Avak's themes and the title screen being my favorite tracks. I'll listen to them every once in a while, actually.
  2. I quite like them, actually. They might limit posing a little bit, however in the case of Skull Warrior and Umarak, (two out of three sets with bows) they both include a secondary weapon. I like how the bows look, though. It's a nice change up, and I just like bows to begin with. I have one myself.
  3. I went with the Inika build, for pose ability and maybe some nostalgic reasons. I actually really liked some of the glatorian builds. As for the matoran, the Tohunga win by sheer cuteness. Little Onepu, Kongu, and Huki stand smol on my shelf, and they always will.
  4. Putting in another vote for tahu and ikir, the wings and extra bulk really help fill tahu out and they look great as one. As for the beasts, it's a close one. I really like storm and lava beast, but I'm giving it to storm on that it's like a bionicle raptor. I'd also like to go with the consensus and say umarak the hunter is a great choice. Also, if $20 sets qualify as titans, onua 2015 is one of my favorite bionicle sets to date.
  5. Much appreciated, as I haven't quite mastered CCBS yet. Looking forward to them! Edit like 2 minutes later: just saw them on the Flickr stream, thank you, kind sir.
  6. Kinda off topic I know, but would the dorek be able to get some more pictures of that overlord makuta? Like how the pictures for this makuta were done? Completely understandable if not, just figured it's worth a shot to ask.
  7. That's a tough question for me actually, set wise, it's very close. The protectors are great little villager sets, that are an important part of bionicle I think. They're the whole reason the toa are here, to protect the islanders from threats too big for them to handle on their own. They're colorful, have great weapon builds, and a decent bit of variety for their small size. That said, they are kinda similar in build, which is where the creatures have the edge. Each one has a unique form and function, and they're just as colorful and full of life. They're about equals in my eyes. As for the toa, I think the 2015 masters have it. I like the 2016 toa, but some of them are just awkward with short arms, odd color choices, and weapons that aren't quite as spectacular as last year's. However, I still quite like them. All the trans colors give them a very vibrant presence, and the sharper masks look like they mean business. The 2015 toa are probably the best toa to date in my opinion, they have everything. The masks, the weapons, the colors, the gear functions, the variety between each one! There are some things I could nit pick about them, like the exposed ball joints and a few odd color choices, but those are minor flaws in my eyes. Each one is great. I didn't think I would like the beasts much at first, having them in hand though, I'm pleasantly surprised to say the 2016 summer wave could very well beat the 2015 one. Each definitely has their flaws, but as a whole, they're great. I like the skull gang, they have some really solid sets, but they just aren't as intimidating as the beasts in appearance to me. I honestly can't pick between the two, I love them both.
  8. The two gold pieces on uniter kopaka look very out of place to me, but that's the only thing I can think of at the time.
  9. The rest of the summer wave is available as well, sans storm beast. However, it's important to note that these are not being officially sold by Amazon, but rather third party sellers on Amazon selling them at inflated prices.
  10. I could see the torso you described being an intersting idea, although I think we've got plenty of creative and new gear functions between the 2 waves of toa and their gear functions, the creatures, LoSS, basher, Scorpio, storm beast, the destroyer, and so on. Every wave introduces a new function of some sort, and I hope that's a trend that continues, because I'm loving it more than a 20 piece chicken nuggets from McDonald's.
  11. you're free to have your opinion of course, but in mine, bionicle G2 is far from "horrifically disappointing. I feel it wears the bionicle logo well. As for the original question, I've got no idea, I guess it would depend on how well the line does this time around. If it survives another 6+ or so years, maybe a G3 could be feasible. But even if such a thing was to happen, it's very far in the future. I'm just gonna enjoy the new sets that have been put out for now.
  12. I found a sealed ultimate dume set at a flea market, for a dollar. That was a good day.
  13. Hopefully this is the right place to ask, so has/where was it confirmed that the summer wave is going to be exclusive to toysrus? Last I checked my local lego store had them on the shelves, but it has been a couple weeks since I was there.
  14. I usually just picture them in set form, but as far as the movies go, I actually think that's one thing the legend reborn did right. The constantly spinning pins were a bit much, but I like how the mouths and eyes were done, and their more set accurate appearance. I feel journey to one did pretty well in this respect too.
  15. I read it this morning via amazon kindle, I really enjoyed it. I'm happy to see some interesting background for the skulls, and character development for kulta, who had been brushed aside rather quickly in the animations. I won't go into to spoilers, so overall, I'm pretty satisfied. I'd recommend picking it up and giving it a shot.
