  1. This is awesome. Want to get done, cant justify paying 10 bucks for shipping, when im only paying 8 bucks for the mask, doesnt make any sense. You dont happen tohave the files for those so i could print my own?
  2. When I first saw the first couple pictures I was super excited, but by the end I was quite disappointed... Every single line in Bionicle which is one of the reasons that I have absolutely loved Bionicle over the years was that for every good guy there's a bad guy... This is the only time that this has not happened... I feel like LEGO is just throwing money away by doing this. Why wouldn't you make the 2 sets? The sets themselves... I like the idea of the skeleton type look great idea, not necessarily sure they were able to capture the idea idea in the right way though... The giant chest pieces? why? Skull warrior, looks cool I like him weapon choice I feel like is a bit lacking, but I can look past that. Skull Slicer, I instantly think of general grievous... And a re-used mask, but I love the colors. Skull Basher, Love the colors! Why the Fun would you not use horns that are filled in completely... If they weren't filled in on the underside, that's one thing, but the way that it will be displayed will forever look bad now. Skull Scorpio.... Really? A lamer version of the nui-rama that doesn't really have a legit enemy here, huge disappointment... Mask Maker... Meh I just don't care about him in the least, not in this form. Skull grinder is by far my favorite out of all of these, maybe the only savior out of all of these sets. The mask with the horns, great job at creating the look of a villain. Overall still can't get pass the fact that there's sets missing here, that's the biggest trope of all of this for me... LEGO what are you doing?
  3. Just got confirmation from a very reliable source that it will be happening in March for my local stores Will be looking forward to making a bunch of purchases at this time.
  4. Now it shows them all as being available on 1/1/15 WOOT!
  5. There really isn't much Lego can do to stop people from releasing this sort of information short of not sending out retailer catalogs, which isn't much of an option. And them wanting to protect their information does not make them look like "a bad guy," it's, again, their information, and the people who release leaks are breaking the law. It isn't a difficult concept to grasp that as such, Lego does not want that publicized, and it's not a serious problem that BZPower chooses to respect the wishes of the company that this entire website is kind of about. Admittedly, the way they do it with news stories like these might be a bit counterproductive, but still, it's tiring to have to keep reading posts like these. BZPower is not going to stop adhering to their leaks policy simply because some people can't be bothered to wait for official information. Everyone should just be patient. It's an old way of doing business though. There are many new ways you can take care of things like this, sure you may still have it, but it's due to the wrong people in the wrong place. And keep in mind perception is reality, so they could very easily look like a bad guy in this. If it were something LEGO didn't support it would probably be different, they at least understand what power BZP has around the Bionicle world, which makes there investment here a large stakeholder. It's just a bit of something that they have their hand in too much, ultimately making it less of a fan site in the end for me. I can't say I ever remember the Leak Policy being what it is now, or at least it ever being enforced, although that was some time ago. I just remember seeing multiple images not Officially released by LEGO on the front page of BZP news is all, I miss the speculation and actual talk about the sets and believed ideas. BZP was a good place for that back then, I just miss having that here is all.
  6. This is where I've always felt BZP has shot itself in the foot with it's support of LEGO and evidently control over it as well... It's unfortunate that a place for fans of the series can not find or discuss these things here, since it is the biggest Bionicle community after all. And people will continue to seek these things out especially when posts like this are made to make everyone aware that leaked images are among the interwebs. And they're really really easy to find too... Which ironically does the opposite for LEGO when they enforce things like this. Maybe invest in some better security LEGO? Then you don't look like a bad guy and end up creating a win-win out of the situation.
  7. Wooohoooo. Just hope that they're not gonna try and do a complete re-boot or use up too many old story lines. The enemy here already looks like a certain spider enemy that we had before Also, hope hope they're not exactly like what the Hero Factory were too. Either way there's a great opportunity here to make something that was great even better. Just hope that they have the right people in place to do that!
  8. Yeah, it seems this happens WAY too frequently on this site than any other forum that I have been apart of. It still amazes me how much this happens. Silver lining is that we're back, just seems like a waste to be on here sometimes..
  9. Yeah I like painting them Gives you something unique that LEGO couldnt provide you with
  10. Lol it's sad because it's true. really surprised that there were so few votes. Seems the site has realllllly gone down the hill ever since Bionicle died. Fewer and fewer of us still on here. Plus with all the issues on the site not surprised. Congrats to Eris!
  11. Very cool. Looks like a frog that drank up some toxic waste and hulked out. lol Good stuff
  12. On which ones do you find the paint job lacking? Just wondering... Some of them have been built and played with pretty much right after the Nuva came out. So back in like 2002 or 2003 I think. Possibly coming up on 10 years then.. Wow. I never bothered to touch up some of them. Mostly the areas in which the ball joints are coming off. I tried to make a fix to that with some paint thinner before applying the paint, but the paint ends up being too thick in the end and I end up leaving the actual ball joint itself too weak as well. I think the paint job turned out pretty good! Anyways nice MOC! I really like the purple ones As well as the Elite Team! Thanks I really appreciate it! If you honestly feel like the paint job isn't done so well, than I would consider stating why. An allegation such as that has little validity without reason to prove it. Stating that something could have been better really doesn't help anyone unless you also state how it can be made better. Anyways, I really enjoyed seeing all of these MoC's. They are just amazing, and I can see how much intricacy and hard work you put into each one. One of the most notable parts of every single MoC you posted was the weapons. I just absolutely love all of the weapons. They're simply outstanding and well done. I can't really say there is very much to critique as far as I'm concerned. Everything I saw for the most part was exceptionally well done. Keep up the amazing work! -Rez It's true if it's supposed to be constructive criticism at least... I really appreciate the kind words! It's been a long time coming! And I'm very happy to be able to share them all now. Haha Yeah I do remember getting MoC of the day a few different times... I think it's just randomly generated though lol. The purple ones always seemed to get the most attention. I was really surprised Lego didn't include more purple in the Bionicle line up. I would assume they had based it off of the sale of the purple slizers, probably didn't do as well as other colors. Personally, I don't like painted pieces but the reason I asked was because the pieces looked like they were plastic put into moulds. In other words, you did a good job. Was there any other pieces you painted? Oh yeah lots of painted pieces. Looking at them all right now I see 8/28 that do NOT have paint on them so basically 70% of them DO.
