Oops... I must've forgotten that Tahu was a Toa of fire while I was writing that. :PAnd thanks! Glad you like it so far.

Your guess was close.After this episode, the audience will think twice before getting near Helryx : (Or three times, depending on how well Helryx messes with their heads) EPISODE 2: The Cast Tahu: Hi. I’m Tahu.Helryx: Wasn’t that obvious from the start?Lewa: Mouthy, much?Helryx: No, just realistic.Makuta: Hi. I’m your worst nightmare.Tahu: Actually, my worst nightmare was when Helryx chased me through buildings with a flamethrower trying to kill me.Gali: That actually happened…Tahu: I must’ve been under her control then.Helryx: No, because I remember you yelling, “PLS PLS PLS HELIX DON’T KILL ME I DESRVE TO LIVE!”Gali: …And?Helryx: If Tahu was under my control then I wouldn’t have let him cry like a little girl like that.Makuta: Don’t forget about all those grammatical errors.Tahu: Shut up.Makuta: No.Tahu: Tip #1 – If your arch enemy refuses to obey you, call Helryx. She’s up for murder any day.Helryx: Don’t you forget that Tahu.Gali: …Lewa: I feel left out.Tahu: You should.Makuta: Dude, you’re going to have to rudely interrupt us if you want to get a word in.Vezon: True dat.Makuta: “Dat” isn’t a word you moron.Tahu: Who are you to be calling anyone a moron?Makuta: I’m your worst nightmare, as stated above.Helryx: Can we get back on topic, please?Makuta: There wasn’t a topic to begin with.Tahu: Tip #2 – If two arch enemies are raising tension, add to it. Make the arch enemies hate you even more. It’s the only way to ever get them to like you.Lewa: I’m going to go get a smoothie.Makuta: No.Vezon: {[triple backflip combo]}Gali: I’m Gali. I am a Toa of Water.Helryx: You ARE blue…Tahu: At least she’s following the script.Makuta: We don’t write scripts…Helryx: Yes, we wing EVERYTHING.Tahu: Does that include your killing spree?Helryx: No, that part was planned.Lewa: I’M LEWA!Tahu: Lewa what the honey milk of Mata Nui?Helryx: ^^My reason for the killing spree.Makuta: Lewa is rudely interrupting us to get his word in.Tahu: How rude of you, Lewa.Gali: Agreed.Makuta: Agreed.Helryx: *kills*Lewa: I give up.Helryx: Good for you.Tahu: Tip #3 – Don’t ever listen to Helryx. She’ll ALWAYS try to put you down, but don’t listen to her. She doesn’t have feelings.Helryx: Without me you wouldn’t have this job…Tahu: …Without you I wouldn’t have a broken arm and a low self-esteem.Makuta: Both of you need to just shut up. Who cares if Helryx is a self-centered thoughtless hag?Tahu: Tip #4 –Helryx: No. You just gave us a tip. It wasn’t all that helpful, but none of them are nowadays. You’re going to have to wait a bit longer before writing another tip.Gali: DITTOLewa: What does that even mean?Makuta: Gali that made no sense whatsoever.Helryx: Would you like to die?Tahu: Helryx asks everyone that. She’s like a creeper.Helryx: It’s not like that; it IS that.Tahu: ^Like I said – a reality show.Helryx: You can’t see me though. I’m actually standing right behind you.Makuta: No you’re not.Helryx: *showoff*Tahu: Tip #4 #2 – Helryx likes-Helryx: Enough about me. Talk about… Makuta.Tahu: Tip #4 #3 – Helryx IS Makuta. Whatever you do, ALWAYS check behind you 24/7. You don’t want Makuta to-Helryx: Why on Earth would you address the tip as #4 #3?! It’s utterly confusing.Makuta: I don’t think it is… He was clearly stating that you are me. To be brutally honest, you ARE evil.Helryx: You’re not helping.Makuta: That was never my purpose.Tahu: You have a purpose?Makuta: Not yet.Helryx: I have a purpose…Gali: We all knew that…Makuta: Not all of us…Tahu: I can only guess what THAT is…Lewa: I just noticed that there are ellipses used in the last few posts…Makuta: You’re so cool and smart.Helryx: No he’s not… Didn’t you see where he said that he “just” noticed it? He obviously wasn’t paying attention.Gali: Can you blame him?Helryx: Yes…Tahu: Tip #5 – Helryx blames anyone who happens to be around at the time. You need to godfather her before she fully understands that it’s nobody’s fault. Take the killing spree for example.Helryx: Get me an egg.Makuta: Why?Helryx: Because I want one.Tahu: Either this is part of Helryx’s next killing spree, or she’s going to use the egg to get revenge on me.Helryx: No I’m just hungry. But FYI, nobody needs to godfather me except my mother.Lewa: Good to know…Makuta: Can I close this episode now?Tahu: No.Helryx: Yes.Tahu: (kid)Helryx: (traitor)Tahu: Hey, at least I’m not a to-be murderer.Makuta: I think we’ve all gotten to know each other. I’m going to close the episode now.Tahu: Tip #6 – Makuta and Helryx never introduce themselves. They’re rude, I agree. The best way to deal with their behavior is to provoke a fight.Helryx: Why is my name AFTER Makuta’s?Tahu: Best for last?Helryx: Yeah, right.Makuta: Thank you for being at yet another episode of Tahu’s Tips to Survival (More like Helryx vs. Tahu Judge Judy). Let’s hope that Tahu and Helryx aren’t so rude next time…Cast of “Tahu’s Tips to Survival”:Makuta (Ringleader)Helryx (Antagonist)Tahu (Rock star)Gali (Rock star’s low-paid assistant)Lewa (Worthless Runt)Vezon (Heaven only knows…)Black Phantom (Some moron who tried to apply but could only speak in I337 so he was kicked out)List created and compiled by your truly, ~ The Amazing Tahu

Thank you Smoke Monster! Believe it or not, there is actually a story here. :PI'm just now realizing that the context may have been a bit vague as to what was going on. The idea is that they're all on a talk show.

Tahu’s Tips to Survival --Epic Talk Show Hosted by Yours Truly (Shut up Helryx everyone knows that "Yours truly" is just a kiss-up way of saying "I'm so pretty look at me!!")-- EPISODE 1: Public Humiliation Tahu: Alright, first of all, let me just say something. I never agreed to do this, but Helryx threatened to kill me if I didn’t. She’s obsessed with safety; she’s literally a freak. Don’t tell her I said that, though.Helryx: Tahu, you’re on the air. I can still hear you.Tahu: Tip #1 – Don’t EVER say something on television that you would NEVER say in front of someone. It can save you from death, literally.Helryx: Alright Tahu, I’m going to kill you now.Tahu: Tip #2 – When someone tells you that they’re going to kill you ahead of time, make sure you tell everyone you know that you’re about to die. Make sure you tell everyone EXACTLY how you felt about them.Gali: Tahu, I’m sorry it had to come to this. How did you feel about me?Tahu: You were my best friend, Gali.Makuta: Look Tahu, you fool, I didn’t get to be the one to kill you, so just tell me now whatever I need to hear.Tahu: I always loved how you added extra whip topping on my lattes.Makuta: Yeah, that was pretty fond of me.Gali: Tahu, you didn’t like MY lattes?Tahu: I never said that… But since you asked, the answer is no. Sorry; maybe next time.Makuta: But, you just told us Helryx was going to kill you; where’s the next time in that?Tahu: There is none. I just needed to make Gali feel better.Gali: How am I supposed to feel better about that?Tahu: You’re not, but I’m on TV so I need to have a good self-image before I die a painful death this day.Makuta: Must you continue to emphasis your death?Tahu: Yes.Skrall: Tahu! Tahu! Was I a mighty servant to thou?Tahu: Stop talking like that it’s weird.Skrall: No.Tahu: Tip #3 – When someone refuses to obey you, you then commence violence. It’s the only possible way you could ever resolve any kind of dispute.Helryx: While Tahu and Skrall literally knock the elemental power out of themselves, I’ll go bring in the guests.Makuta: Please. The last thing people want is for the Tahu murderer to warmly welcome them into an interview about avoiding death.Tahu: It’s not an interview. It’s a reality show.Gali: Shouldn’t you be, like, in pain right now?Tahu: Skrall aren’t that hard to pin.Makuta: That’s because that one is a hologram.Helryx: Hi! Welcome aboard, Lewa! Hi! Welcome, Black Phantom! Hello and welcome to the rest of you whose names I don’t feel like reading.Tahu: She’s a murderer!Helryx: I didn’t kill you yet Tahu.Lewa: Can I watch?Makuta: No…Helryx: I don’t think Lewa was talking to you…Makuta: Don’t forget who you’re talking to.Tahu: Tip #4 – If you feel that tension is building up among others, the best thing to do is to add to it. It will build more anger, thus creating a bond between them.Makuta: I hate you.Helryx: I know.Black Phantom: HAHAHAHAHAAHHHA! I WILL TAKE OVER ZE ENTIRE BIONICLE UNIVERZE HAHAAHHAHAH!!!!!!Helryx: I’m sorry, but who are you?Gali: …Makuta: …Tahu: My mom?Helryx: I do see similarities yes…Black Phantom: YOU WILZ ALL DIE ALONG WIZ YO HEROES!!!!Lewa: What if we don’t have any heroes?Tahu: Tip #5 – If someone is annoying you, inflict pain. One side effect, however, is that it solves absolutely nothing. Use with caution.Gali: How do you use pain?Helryx: Easy. I’ll demonstrate.Makuta: NO.Tahu: NO.Lewa: NO.Black Phantom: YEZZ!!Helryx: 3-1. I’m demonstrating.Makuta: But the majority said no.Helryx: Haven’t you learned by now that I don’t play by the rules?Tahu: I have!Helryx: Don’t forget that I have a coupon to kill you 50% off.Gali: O_oLewa: ( )Makuta: <(-)|^|(-)>Tahu: Sorry, I forgot.Vezon: I didn’t…Makuta: At least I’M a responsible villain.Tahu: I didn’t get my latte this morning…Makuta: That’s because we all knew that you were going to die. Didn’t you read the script?Tahu: What script?Gali: The one that reads: “Helryx’s job: Kill Tahu.”Tahu: Oh, sorry. I must have missed that part. What’s my job?Lewa: “Tahu’s job: Let Helryx beat the sugared donuts and warm milk out of you.”Makuta: I hope my job is as exciting as Tahu’s…Helryx: Even better. “Makuta’s job: Let Helryx boss you around because she is a boss and you are just a mere specimen that belongs to Helryx.”Lewa: Who wrote this script exactly?Gali: I don’t know. But whoever it was is obviously half-retarded.Helryx: How is it so obvious?Gali: I don’t know... I must not have thought about that.Makuta: Clearly…Tahu: Tip #6 – If you’re not happy with the position you got, you beat the sugared donuts and warm milk out of whoever assigned it to you until you get your way. It works EVERY time.Gali: *runs*Helryx: I think you’re over-using the phrase “beat the sugared donuts and warm milk”.Tahu: Warm milk is fun to beat though.Makuta: Well have you ever beat it?Tahu: Nah, I’m too slow. I did catch up with it on the 3-legged race, however.Helryx: Well just so we’re clear…Tahu: Go die.Helryx: That reminds me…Tahu: *runs*Helryx: *chases*Makuta: Well folks, that just about wraps up this episode. Be sure to submit your very own tips and Tahu may consider them for the next episode!Lewa: I thought Tahu was dying today…?Black Phantom: HAHHAAHAHAHHAAHAAVezon: That sentence was grammatically incorrect.Black Phantom: Fool.Makuta: At least turn off the camera before you start commotion.Tahu: Tip #7 – When you’re being chased by your murderer, always run through buildings. That way, at least you can cause chaos well enough to be on the news.Makuta: Turn off the camera!Lewa: No! Throw it out the window!Makuta: We’re not even in a building WITH windows…Lewa: My point exactly…Makuta: I don’t get it.Lewa: You’re stalling.Vezon: Can someone just kill someone already?!Makuta: Bye folks. This is Tahu’s Tips of Survival, based heavily around his upcoming death by Helryx. Now, excuse us. We have to go tame Helryx.

Thunder is all over eBay!As for me, I just want to get all of them. 1.0 heroes, however, especially Bulk, Stringer, and Stormer, are incredibly rare/expensive...

I don't see many talking about this. :PI do wonder why though; why Bionicle collections are discussed nonstop but Hero Factory barely at all. Maybe it's because there aren't as many HF sets yet? Personally, I think there are (IIRC there are 47 sets total currently; 45 not counting Breez and Thornraxx), but regardless, what is your current Hero Factory collection?As for me, well, I'm a little behind. I started collecting a bit late, when 3.0 was about to come out. So:1.0 - Xplode, Corroder, Thunder, Meltdown, Rotor, Von Nebula, Furno Bike (Those hero prices, wow)2.0 - Drilldozer, Nitroblast, Jetbug, Fire Lord, Furno 2.0, Breez 2.0, Evo 2.0, Nex 2.03.0 - Stormer 3.0, Bulk 3.0, Furno 3.0, Stringer 3.0, Rocka 3.0, Nex 3.0, Rocka XL, Waspix, Raw-Jaw, Witch Doctor"Breakout" - Rocka, Evo, Toxic Reapa, SurgeYeah. I rely on weekly allowance. 16-18 to go!Seriously, those 1.0 hero prices. Wow. :oAnd you?

I don't know if this is already somewhere in this thread, but I don't want to go through all 23 pages to find it, so I'll ask it:I don't see Breez or Thornraxx at TRU's website. Are they planning/going to put them up there?

I don't know if this counts but...Got a great deal on Vultraz: $15 brand new....Turns out, the guy never shipped it (bought it a few months ago). I was robbed pretty much.Also, I let a $20 new Maxilos and Spinax pass by. Regret. Ended up paying $30 for a used one later on.

Almost every Bionicle set I order off eBay are great deals. It's like a process: - I find a set/sets I begin to want/grail- I watch and watch for great deals.- I usually end up waiting at least a few months before getting it/them, and at a great deal too.That's the process for most sets I get. Here are some of the great deals I've gotten:- $15 all six Turaga, with everything (boxes, pieces, instructions, etc.)- $50 for all 6 Toa, all 6 Nuva, and all 6 Bohrok. All had pieces and canisters; only Toa Nuva had instructions.- $15 all Tohunga- $35 Bahrag (everything)- $10 Boxor (complete)And more. ...But 2006 sets? That's another story. EDIT: But the best deal, I must say, is the Skopio XV-1 that was on clearance at my local Wal-Mart for $60!

What got me into Bionicle? It's a bit tricky to explain, and I'll tell you why:In May of 2011, I saw Tarduk in my brother's room. I hadn't known of Bionicle's existence before then. I loved Tarduk because it felt like an improved version of an action figure. Sure enough, it was. After a little bit of research/figuring out what the heck Tarduk was, I came across the 2009 Glatorian, and Hero Factory, not knowing that they were seperate/had a story. I simply started collecting Hero Factory (as I didn't know of Bionicle's existence just yet [or rather, I thought Hero Factory was Bionicle]). It wasn't until September-ish that I really studied upon Bionicle, and realized how far behind I was. :PThat's my story haha. I can't quite tell what got me into it really, but because of my loving of Tarduk and its "improved action figure"-ness, I'd go with its play value. The story got me that much more interested (pretty much why I'm attempting to collect every set).

82 sets. Woohoo. ...Thought I had over 100, but whatever. :PVery helpful and organized! Liked all the colors.

Atfer a few months of inactivity (and getting more sets), I can now change my initial choice for favorite:Set design? Takanuva (Got it for Christmas!). Such a genius design, considering the fact that it is so large and bulky, yet it is more flexible than most. Compare it to Tuma, for example, who can barely move his legs. I also love just the overall look to him, not to mention his immense height.I was surprised at Skirmix's height. Standing straight up, he surpasses that of Takanuva's height, which was unexpected. For a simpler set, it had a very organized and nice design. I don't know if I like it being as tall as it is or not. I also especially like how, even with the legs double-jointed (or attached to the waist twice), his legs can bend around to face the other way, thus enabling some fairly interesting animal-like poses.Function-wise? Bahrag, duh. Not only did they manage to create a set dedicated to the function, but they also made it look good too. The Bahrag have such a mean look to them; it's amazing!I also must mention the Turaga. I just love how, even with them being very small, Lego still managed to implement some function in them. Sure, it's not much, but it's still something; and the fact that Lego did that even with the smallest of sets is amazing.

Now it's all 6 Bohrok Va, and a handful of other titans....Yes, I buy frequently.

Ah yes, thanks. All of those pieces were indeed loose in my box as well, just not in a bag. So I do have all of Cahdok, then.Thanks a lot!~ Tech Warrior

I didn't know exactly where this should go (or if it should go anywhere), but I am concerned and have a quick question about the 2002 Cahdok and Gahdok set.I had opened Cahdok and Gahdok, only to find 2 bags labelled 3 and 4. While it's obvious that the set is incomplete, what part of the set do I have? Is it all of Cahdok (blue)? How many bags are suppose to be in the set total, and which go where?Thanks a bunch,Tech Warrior

GADUNKA!! :PHmm.. Let's see:- Bahrag- Krekka- Bomonga- Rhotuka!- Keetongu- Vezon- Spinax- Pohatu- Icarax- Krika- Axalara- Atakus- Stronius- Thornatus

I had received Rocka (4th series) today as a gift. I also got a few gift cards so I think I'll pick up some 2.0 heroes/3.0 villains. I want to stock up on those before I get into 4th series.

How do you forget about Pewku and Gukko? They were obviously suppose to be a crab and a bird, respectively.Nivawk was a cleverly-designed bird as well.Kikanalo looked as if it were to be some kind of bull?Gadunka is a funny-looking fish in my opinion.And Skrimix? Is he suppose to be a dragon?Everyone above me pretty much named the rest. Tarduk, Zesk, Vorox, etc. may be considered animal-like as well.

Just recently I had purchased all 6 Rahaga together online.If you want single sets, then Tuma it was.

Vezon and Kardas of course.Hmm, Ultimate Dume also looked pretty neat, same with the Bohrok Kaita. Takutanuva looks too much like the original Makuta though.

Tarduk from '09 was given to me by my brother. First one I bought, though, was Skrall 2010. Then I went backward from there.

I don't particularly think that it's a good idea to bring Bionicle back. Hero Factory has already been in progress for over a year, and so many new things and builds have popped up, that it wouldn't be a good idea to go in reverse. Not only talking set-wise, but I'm sure that LEGO had good reason for ending Bionicle. It's not like they would just do it to do it. Where could the story have gone after the Glatorian? I mean Makuta had already been killed, so there's your happy ending. I feel that it had ended appropriately.So many people here are saying that they need to bring Bionicle back because people want it. I disagree. It's not at all that I don't like Bionicle, but rather the fact that it's already ended, and bringing it back would be an even bigger mistake than ending it. We all love Bionicle, but bringing it back is just plain dumb. LEGO had obviously ended it with good reason, and even if they did bring it back, what kind of story would take place? Nothing beats the original Bionicle. Missing something, is part of what makes it a great memory.

Title says it all! Don't think I've seen this topic yet, weird. Anyways, I know that there are so many Bionicle sets made to where 1 favorite wouldn't do it, but what Bionicles would you consider some of your favorites? Which ones had the best character? Design? Playability? Value?I don't have a lot of sets, but for now I'd probably consider Tahu Mata one of my favorites. Sure he doesn't have the best play value, but he is the original Toa! For some reason, I also really like the Vahki. Don't know why; I just do.Though I don't have many sets, I can still judge what might be my favorite Bionicle in terms of character. Hmm... I'm going to go with Vezon, or Gadunka. They're both just so unique! And that mouth... whoa. The Rahkshi were pretty sweet characters as well.What's yours?

First 1.0 set was Xplode (and was my very first set I had ever gotten).First 2.0 was Furno 2.0, followed closely by Drilldozer.First 3.0 was Witch Doctor. Duh.
