    This rad dude lurks out in the Okotu forests, occasionally leaving notes with directions so lost defenders can get even more lost (how evil). his favorite food is pasta, the creepy kind. he seems to give people the gnarly heebie geebies, and gets pretty lonely 'cause none of the other bad guys dudes wanna hang 10 with him. but as he's got his suit and tie, every things gonna be alright

  2. Wow that was absolutely fantastic! I posted a comment on the video, I really enjoyed that, it was so nostalgic and I'm sure all BIONICLE fans will enjoy it! Great job on making that video!

    Thank you very much  :)

    Ah, the nostalgia. :) That was very well done! A little shaky in some spots, but otherwise it was alright. Well done!

    I'll make sure to work on that shake, thanks for the advice :D

    This was really nicely done! I loved how you filmed it outside, at places like the beach. That in combination with the music certainly made me feel a little nostalgic. :)

    Im glad I could induce nostalgia

  3. out of curiosity, what is their reasoning behind this?  personally I think its almost age discrimination in a way, and in this day and age, TFOLS and AFOLS are a big contribution to the lego community, whereas kids just buy the sets, and TFOLS share to forums and make review videos, start groups ect. so does AFOLS, and its thanks to some of these older fans of lego, that made BZP. (unless you made it when you were 12, in that case i give major props) I say equality for all, no matter what age race or whatever, 13 year olds may buy their sets now, and allot will become lifetime fans, but do not forget those who supported you before you reached your level of prosperity.

  4. When I first saw this topic, I was hoping you had made life sized versions (the chance to play on a Bionicle instrument would be doubly awesome for me), so I was a bit disappointed when I saw the size. But then I saw the detail and I was like, "dang, that looks really good!" Nice job! ^_^

    sorry about that, but you may have inspired an idea foe me, i may consider making a real le-koro flute, seeing as my friend knows the machinations of instruments very well, we may be able to do one

  5. Wow. Pretty nice. While normally I go bananas over sculptures looking old and warped, here it manages to represent the tribal atmosphere pretty well. What did you make it out of? And how did you build that matoran...

    thanks man! I used sticks and clay and paint, and some hemp chord.

    as for the Matoran its based off another MOC someone made some time ago, its relatively simple, I may have to make an instruction gallery

  7. I'm glad there is support for the live action IDEA, back when I pitched it, not many people were too gung go about it. But regarding to your question, you can see my support for which style to go with (live action) but I have actually tried doing this before and I'll tell you, it's hard to do it by yourself or with 2 extra people, it's gonna cost money if you really want it to be just ok looking. The easier option would be flash animation style like Templar studios does it. I tell you, I would love to watch a new series like that

  8.  

    Lol wants even comparing Bionicle to galidorI in fact was saying dont compare it because nothing will come even close.I think u are misunderstanding what I'm saying bro :P

     

    I think I'm not. You said not to compare it to Bionicle, I said it didn't deserve to be compared to Bionicle. So if anything I was agreeing with you.

     

    As for whether anything can come close to Bionicle, the Star Wars saga, Tolkien's stories, various other fantasy novels are all in my opinion equal to or better than Bionicle's story. That had a brilliant premise and was told well for about half the line's life, but it quickly became needlessly complex and difficult to follow, and was often hampered by the fact that it had to promote a handful of sets every year, rather than stand on its own.

     

    The reason so many people hate Galidor is that its way too easy to build, doesn't use the lego system at all, and the T.V. show was rather stupid, if you ask me. I've never actually seen any of the sets unless you count Mc. donalds Gorm, so I don't currently have an opinion on the obscure series.

  9. I agree with everyone it wasn't a the greatest theme but it was cool and yes it wasn't as compatible with Lego, but you could make it work if u wanted too,And how is the title misleading?

    Galidor was an interesting experiment, and I think the show was fairly clever. I do agree that the toys do not get the credit they deserve: while they were somewhat weak as building toys, they were fairly strong designs as action figures.The real problem, though, was that they were high-detail action figures with somewhat limited articulation and LEGO prices. That definitely didn't bode well for the theme. They also veered heavily from the traditional creative values of the LEGO brand, meaning that they do not occupy a very fortunate position in the history of the LEGO brand as a whole. The whole theme seems to have been a result of The LEGO Group seeing success in the constraction category and thinking they could better reach that category's audience with more traditional action figure offerings. This obviously didn't prove to be the case.Also, a reminder to people posting here: Galidor was not a licensed theme in the traditional sense. The show itself was heavily planned and funded by the LEGO Group, and even the character names show conspicuous Danish influence the name "Bluetooth" and the name "Gorm" are both references to historical Danish royalty.

    If have to agree with you, you give some good points, it was very creative at the time, they do deserve some credit for effort and originality
