  1. Remember, most of the people that are buying these sets don't have the old Metru heads and stuff. Though, I wish they did attach in some way with an axle.
  2. Been surprised by all of the durability comments about pieces I've seen lately. Maybe it's my general lack of sets from 08-10 (are those the weak ones?), but I've never outright broken a piece. No, CCBS is not magically superior in durability compared to Bionicle. It's just that people who didn't take good care of their Bionicle sets ended up being surprised that they broke. Granted, the lime-green limb piece failure was something else altogether. Wow, I wish I had your absolutely perfect manner of taking care of sets. Shut your mouth about things you don't know a thing about. I cared for my parts. As soon as I had my FIRST part break, I took care to remove and attach parts with great care. Only attaching directly, removing directly, not too quick, not too slow. Guess what, genius? They STILL BROKE. It got to the point where I didn't risk disassembling sets with old joints AT ALL for risk of them breaking. For a toy that EXISTS to be built and rebuilt repeatedly, that's a colossal failure. And guess what? Lego did not deny that the problem existed. In fact, they made sure to correct it with the CCBS, and the part designers have stated as much in conversation with the community. But then again, maybe Lego didn't treat their own products as gingerly as you did? Many of your other complaints about CCBS are similarly ignorant and moronic, but I don't have the patience to deal with them right now. Your most recent assertion alone is enough to discredit you and I don't feel like putting forth the extra effort to beat that dead horse. So I voice a dissenting opinion and I am flat-out attacked for it: "Shut up... ignorant and moronic". Worse than that, Lyichir's post has eight upvotes! That's eight people agreeing, "Yup, let's personally insult this guy for putting his opinions out there!" Did I attack any of you? Insult any of you? Be viciously sarcastic to any of you? Did I specifically call any of you out? The answer, as far as I can tell, is no. I spoke strongly in favor of the old Bionicle system over what is in my opinion, a lackluster replacement (CCBS). I said CCBS was very bad, in my opinion. I did not say any demeaning things about my fellow forumgoers and posters who had differing thoughts. I did not outright (or subtly) insult anyone. I did not even insult or attack anyone else's views while expressing my own, however strong and differing they may be. I will admit my second post was a little bit snide, perhaps too much so, but it was by no means rude or blatantly hostile. I cannot understand how my words warranted such a harsh response and how the rest of the community has watched and condoned it. I'm very disappointed. And, for the record, I have not broken a single Bionicle piece. Ever. My "assertion... [that] discredits" me is simply my own experience. Lyichir, if you want to continue this argument, please do it via PM so it is not done in such a publicly humiliating and rude manner. I'm definitely in opposing opinion of Wazdakka, but I have to agree with him in this case. Totally unwarranted. I agree. For shame. I thought this was a website were one can place an opinion without getting attacked by a well-known member.
  3. This is what I meant. Isn't the girl-oriented one also licensed, though? That's what's been confusing me. I can't think of any difference between the two besides the fact one's aimed at girls, so to claim the only dedicated superhero theme is aimed at girls seemed odd. Well, forget what I said about that--typed it very late in the night. What I fully meant from my original post was that I wanted a original 'Superheroes' line instead of another 'dolls' theme.
  4. Thanks for the reference!
  5. This is what I meant.
  6. Okay, I'll bite; what's this dedicated Superhero theme primarily aimed at women? And I didn't even have bait. But what this guy said:
  7. Someone found a Hero Pack Hau with a solid orange center.That sounds...amazing.Source? Couldn't find the post, got the picture, though: That would be our own Deevee's mask. During NYCC 2014, LEGO sent hims some prototype parts, including 2 normal hero pack masks and one abnormal, which has a red center. It is currently the most valuable piece of the BIONICLE reboot, with their only being one in the world. The 14k gold masks are far more valuable.
  8. Perhaps a dedicated Superhero theme that isn't primarily aimed at the feminine gender.
  9. Has anyone found any misprinted 2015 pieces yet?
  10. Played some Destiny, played some AW, played some Limbo.
  11. Is it even possible to throw hook claws through solid concrete/stone?
  12. I liked how the narrator went in-depth a bit about Hammer Flush. Good world-building stuff.
  13. So I recently heard that you can order 'missing parts' from Lego. Is that a good alternative to using Bricklink? I need a few duplicates of the Skull Villains' armor.
  14. Really? Great! Though, I'm not sure I can trust reality anymore...
  15. Lol, pretty adorable. Nice work! Though, Skull Grinder looks like he has either a really short neck, or no neck at all. Ekimu's little feets make me giggle.
  16. Too bad the book isn't on Kindle, (as of right now, and as far as I know) so I could read it ASAP.
  17. Leaks should be banned no matter the source. It hurts Lego's sales.
  18. Labtops are expensive.

      Why does a fish need a laptop underwater?

  19. Reviewed this on my YouTube channel. Really great set, the wings on the ant has lots of MOCing potential.
  20. It's the same people who think HF is way better than G2.
