  1. A couple years ago I ordered the 03 game from either ebay or amazon, but it came in without the disk. While disappointed, I was too lazy to do anything about it, and to this day I have never played it.

    Heroes however is a different story. I played it so much back in elementary school that I got a mild rash on my back from being glued to the sofa so much...

    Childhood, eh?

  2. When BIONICLE was a still a thing and going strong, I hated these things too.
    But nowadays I think I would pick some of these up if I saw it being sold in a physical store (as opposed to ordering one online).
    It would be interesting putting together what looks like a BIONICLE set again.
    However I do not condone boot leg products such as these, obviously.

  3. I disagree with the above opinion, I like how the teal seems to be Lewa's "skin" and the grey seems to be some armor of sorts.
    I like to think the trans light green bits are leaves of sorts, and the armor is composed of some biomechanical flora.
    I do have to agree that the little creature doesn't really strike me as Kongu...
    It seems like he has been turned into a mascot-like moneky pet thing... But the design itself is excellent nonetheless!

  4. Honestly, at this point I don't know if I rather have it stay dead or brought back, if I rather remember it for what it was, for face being disappointed with newer stuff that I might not get into. (Be it from rose tinted nostalgia goggles or otherwise) 

     

    The 2015 Toa sets where phenomenal imo, but nothing else in G2 really captured the magic that was in 2001-2003 of G1.

    So aside from it far too early for there to be a G3, if they try to rehash the whole mysterious tribal island theme it would feel repetitive. 

    I was thinking that perhaps what they should do later down the line is maybe try to recapture the industrial/urban feel that 2004 and Metru-Nui gave off, but I suppose that might be too similar to Hero Factory.

    Maybe if they do bring it back, they should just take it to bold new directions instead of looking back on old ideas.

  5. One of the enemies the Toa Inika encounter in the Zone of Nightmares is a Turahk. I personally interpret this as a callback to Mask of Light, and that each Toa can be matched up to one of the six enemies, Jaller matching up with Turahk. It makes sense that a Turahk would be Jaller's greatest fear considering one literally scared him to death.

     

    That sounds awesome!

     

    But yikes, a lifeless Jaller just laying there on the surface for the current Jaller to find sounds really dark and creepy.

  6. All I can think of is to make more Masks that look good in more colors and to have put more thought into what we got. So for instance, the Kanohi Nuva suck, look bad, and make no sense because half of the six great kanohi's powers can't be quantifiably upgraded; what, does the Akaku Nuva have the power of x-ray vision but more? Can it see through seeing through things?

    But in an even greater example, the Toa Metru Kanohi: let's ignore for a moment that great and noble were obviously meant to be two categories of Kanohi, not quality levels, and therefore the Metru masks should've been new masks with new powers. Instead, let's focus on the fact that Nokama's Rau and Lhikan's Hau are the only masks of the seven that resemble what they claim to be versions of. The Matatu in particular inexplicably has a scope on it, and the Huna looks more like a new form of Kaukau.

    I disagree that all the Metru masks look nothing like their noble counterparts. Aside from the Ruru and the Komau, I can see some slight carry over features in each mask. I just might make a comparison photo if I find the time/energy one day.

     

    As for masks born from my own imagination, how bout' a mask of history?

    Allows the user to see the history of an item/person/location.

    would be useful for investigating crime scenes, or solving any sort of mystery.

  7. So, I have been "back" before, but I have gone on hiatus again...so...here I am.

    The thing is, I made sure that the BZP front page is the first site that shows up when I open my we browser intentionally in an attempt to make myself be more active on this site, but here I am, 16 months since my last post.

    So yeah, another old BIONICLE fan reporting for duty. Doing my part to keep this community and fanbase alive.
