    You did good. I feel like you had some of the most consistently impressive and aesthetically pleasing entries in the entire competition. If I'm being honest, I certainly preferred your entry over the one that stole your spot in the finals. One recommendation I'd give you is probably that you step up your photography game. The photos you took are by no means bad; they were good enough to show off how well-made your MOCs are, but they could've been more clean and better lit overall. I know my photos aren't perfect either and I could stand to improve them as well, but having the best photographic presentation you can possibly achieve does wonders for the impression a MOC can give, so I'd say we should both aim to deliver even better photos. I always thought you were a solid builder, but you really caught my attention with your Self-MOC and each and every one of your Bio-Cup entries, so I feel like I'm seeing sharp improvement in your ability in recent times. It's amazing how much someone can improve when they keep at it. I hope to see more of your entries next time the Bio-Cup comes around. Cheers!

    Gotta love it when two excellent builders put their heads together and produce a pair of jaw-droppingly good-looking MOCs.

    I'd like to be more active than I am.

    One of my absolute favorite creation I've seen ever. The sheer amount of detailing is enough to make this guy up there with the best creations I've seen, but it doesn't stop there. The quality behind the creation, particularly in the more expressive parts such as the head and hands, is just spectacular. Thanks for putting up this thing, it really blows my mind.

    Now THOSE are awesome! I particularly like Balkazir and Brawg. All I can say is that the tail on Brawg could use a little bit of cleaning up. Extremely strong entries overall.

    Probably the best Mata Nui robot that I've seen on the internets. Well done on the sleek shaping, as well as the fine detailing. Clean and subtle. I'd love to see more from you in the future.

    Thanks bunches! I do see your point, though. I kind of pulled the story out of thin air at the last second. Perhaps I should change it up a little...

    Alternatively, you could link text or a thumbnail, by highlighting the text or smaller thumbnail of the pic by selecting it and clicking the "Link" button. E: See now, you were able to link the thumbnails, but you didn't link them to the picture itself. Click on the image until its surrounded by white, then link THAT url onto the image. Alright, I'm pretty sure that I've gotten all the links to work properly. Thanks bunches for your assistance!

    I added the image, but it was gigantic and took up most of the screen. I'm not entirely sure how top get the image to appear smaller. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Drokkna, a vengeful barbarian who desires to bash the skulls in of all whom he encounters. He is feared by all who know and know of him. With his terrifying spiked maces, he crushes and tears apart his foes. His favorite food is roasted Kane-Ra and he has a secret passion for Kohlii, but no one to play it with. Everyone he attempted to play Kohlii with rejected him. His anger towards the villagers along with his longing for a good Kohlii match would cause his endless murderous rampage. For the BFTGM contest. Constructive criticism welcome and appreciated!

    Is it just me, or do the new Bionicle sets look even better every time I look at them?

  13. gentlemanscarecrow
    A very solid MOC that is near perfect! Only real issues I have are with the upper arms and maybe the head. I'm not too crazy about when people line up those little connectors as armor, but it still works and contributes to his (awesome) color scheme. The head, at a second look, is really good, I just get a little lost in the large amount of greebles. An impeccable creation otherwise!
  14. gentlemanscarecrow
    Nicely executed! I'm quite fond of those expressive eyebrows and the striking resemblance to an in-game goomba. MOC on!

    Link to MOCpage: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/400658 Hello all. This is my first topic on BZP, and I'm not perfectly sure if I've done this correctly. If you notice anything that should definitely be changed about this topic, or if you have any advice to offer, feel free to tell me what you think. Otherwise, this is SAND, a lonely wandering mecha who intends to eventually punch everything in the known world. I had a wonderful time creating a MOC with this tan and light grey color scheme. Constructive criticism is welcome and appreciated.

    Unlikely, but for what it's worth they were never committed to NOT bringing it back. Part of the reason they ended it when it did until milking it until it was dry was so they could leave that door open. If they had kept BIONICLE going until it became their worst-selling theme they'd have had a much harder time trying to convince retailers and licensing partners to put their faith in new BIONICLE sets, let alone any similar products. As it is, being able to boast that they're "the creators of BIONICLE" still holds some power, if not as much as it would have back in 2002 or 2003. Related: this is why Galidor is probably never coming back. It's got a story that could probably have potential if its creators were to approach the sets from a different angle, but no retailer or licensing partner wants to invest in a franchise that nobody in the industry remembers as anything other than a miserable failure. Yes, yes, I was mostly joking. But you're right, when Bionicle left, Lego never said, "It's gone forever." They said "For the foreseeable future." Which means we can know for certain that Lego had no plans for a permanent end of Bionicle.
  18. gentlemanscarecrow
    I bet that Lego never planned on ending Bionicle permanently in the first place. In 2010, they were probably just like, "We'll end Bionicle now and bring it back in 5 years. Mwahaha, they'll never see it coming!"
  19. gentlemanscarecrow
    I checked the URL again, and it appears that Lego has altered it so that it doesn't include the "Bionicle-4-new" anymore. I could be wrong. But if they did change the file, then doesn't that mean Lego is trying to cover up their mistake? This only confirms it more for me. Woohoo! Bionicle shall reign once more (Hopefully)!

    Bionicle is a thing with the stuff and the things.

    Sometimes you just need to stop and smell the harakeke.

    It may be that the original 6 toa are kind of lame in SOME ways, but that's only if you look at them from the perspective of someone who's familiar mostly just with the more modern sets and characters. If you step into the shoes of someone in 2001 who'd just came back from the store with a shopping bag full of new toys, you have no other Bionicles to compare them to. They were flimsy, barely articulated, and quite delicate, but they were Bionicle, and they were the best.
  23. gentlemanscarecrow
    Hey, as long as Lego makes something new and calls it Bionicle (and it isn't horrible), they've got my money.
  24. gentlemanscarecrow
    I could seriously cry right now. Bionicle was such a big part of my life, and now it's going to be again! I'm in chemistry right now, and I'm completely off track. I can't even pick up a single word my teacher is saying! I just casually went to BZPower.com, and at the top of the page was the news I thought would never come. When I get home, I'm going to cry tears of joy.

    BIONICLE CONFIRMED. *returns from the grave*
