Rooster Nui

Eh, a little bit. It had its run, which was obviously better than Bionicle G2, but at the same time there is something about it I do miss; probably the cleanliness in design and just the general aesthetic.

I also do feel sorry for Hero Factory, though. It got bashed throughout most, if not all of its active run just for having to fill in the spot of Bionicle; a bit like how Paul Roberts' was criticized for filling in the spot of lead vocalist for The Stranglers after Hugh Cornwell left the group in 1990.

I've been thinking of building the second generation version of Makuta at some point in the future. What are your opinions on the model? Whether you have built it or not, I would like some feedback. For those that have built it, is it worth the time and effort? How sturdy is it? Which 3D printed version of the Mask of Ultimate Power is of highest quality and best suited for the model?

Also, are there any instructions out there that are step-by-step, similar to official ones by LEGO themselves?

Any information and discussion regarding this model would be much appreciated.

I have no idea which element fits my personality. But I chose water because I tend to be more relaxed and a "go with the flow" kind of person. I dunno. Take that however you will. 

That makes a lot of sense and I can understand that. I have always seen my mother as "watery" because she is definitely a go with the flow person that adapts to peoples needs and situations quite seemingly easily and frequently. She is also nearly always calm and relaxed.

I think, aesthetically, I honestly like water best. A lot of the elements are cool, but there's just something about the calming, soothing aspect of water that makes me love it more than, say, ice or earth or fire. Then, personality-wise... I'd say I'm kinda a blend between earth and water, but I went with the former just to give a different answer to both parts.

Curiously enough, according to the topic Aderia linked to, I would fall under Psionics by that categorisation... although I relate to that element not at all and, despite testing as the relevant personality type, don't match the description of it in that thread either xD Their description of earth, in fact, feels much more like me than the others, which may have swayed my vote on that part too.

Oh, cool! An INFJ; they aren't so common. I've taken a few personality tests here and there, and I'm usually either INFJ or ISFJ. So, I guess I could be a blend of the two. Makes sense, at least for me, because before I even took those tests I wanted to work as a counselor. That, and I've been vulnerable and still am in the case of being a people-pleaser.

As with the elements, although Ice is pretty much my favorite in regards to looks and power, Earth and Water are closely behind further followed by Light and Plantlife. As you can probably tell, those are all non-aggressive, at least when it comes to common archetypes relating to those elements, which makes sense because aside from the odd bit of frustration here and there in my life, I'm generally regarded as calm, reserved, placid and maybe a bit slow in speech and mannerisms.

I can't exactly see myself as Psionics, either. It's matched with INFJ in the link Aderia provided, but some of the abilities that Toa of Psionics are capable of aren't so calming or pleasant. For example, inducing nightmares in beings that are already asleep, and mind control. But seeing as Toa are meant to be guardians and warriors, I shouldn't expect their set of abilities to completely lack defensive capabilities. Still, nightmares and calmness don't go together.

Just curious as to what everyone's favorite Bionicle elemental powers are and what ones people identify with. There have been element polls before on BZPower, but I haven't seen any in a while and I thought it was time for a refresh.

My favorite is probably Ice at the moment, followed closely by Earth and Water. But, I would say Earth best represents me and my personality at the moment.

I'm fine with how things are in regards to the Toa Mata and the color of each of their respective Kaukau. To me, it would be strange to see most of their head areas be different colors to the rest of their bodies.

Yeah, with this discovery it makes me wonder what could show up 5, 10 or maybe even 15 years down the line. Despite Bionicle being cancelled/ending twice, the community keeps finding things to talk about. Very impressive, really.

Clever use of the Fangz head pieces and Stringer shoulder pieces. Also, I'm not exactly a fan of spiders, but this one sits well with me. Great job.

I'm in a weird situation with this. I honestly don't know if I should fork out the money or skip it. Like, I love/despise Overwatch. I've been playing it on the Playstation 4 for about a year, now; And I appreciate it for the fun it offers but really dislike its lootbox system, and I just can't wrap my head around how there's now an official Lego Overwatch theme. It's just so weird how quickly LEGO's policies regarding violence and stuff has eased to the point that something like Overwatch can get a LEGO theme.

Hmmm. I'll see if I can enter. Sounds like it could be fun. If I don't participate, I'll gladly watch, though.

Wow, still handing out those NYCC Masks of Fire, eh? It's almost like they aren't that rare.

I didn't even know "Old Fishing Store" was an actual set until you posted a picture of it here and I searched it on Brickset. On its own, it looks like a wonderful set. But...

This lighting kit makes things even better. It's like a highlight with highlights.

Having all of those locks around the entrance/s to the room full of old Bionicle stuff was a great idea, but I'm surprised to see that area right next to what looks like a public walkway of sorts. Well, at least those things are still there for giveaways. I like that stuff, but I'll watch other people enter this first giveaway; I've got enough Bionicle in my life.

Anyway, it's good to see Faber stay active with his projects and engaging with Lego fans. We've got a nice treat here.

Whoa! The use of the Shadow Trap pieces! Clever... And that mask... Looks pretty good.

Likewise with Rassilon, my only complaint with it is the lower arms and elbows; a patch-up could work wonders.

But, yeah. That's some good stuff. I like it!

There's plenty of bootlegs i found this here in Iceland Europe

Some of them work well with legos but the result are sometimes very loose so i used paper wads to stiffen it.

The reason i bought mine was because i liked the idea of turning pohatu into a camouflage test

The bottom of the packaging says "collect all" instead of the more-usual "collect 'em all!" 

Sounds like a threat rather than just an advertising phrase.

"Lasagna" - Weird Al Yankovic

PRoJEkta (Paul Roberts and John Ellis) - Definitely Drowning.

 

Core Hunter, mostly because Core Hunter is massively dissonant in tone with the rest of Hero Factory.

 

A Hero who became a villain who removes a Hero's core, effectively killing them, and carrying said cores around as trophies. That is, as far as I am aware, much darker than literally all of the rest of Hero Factory.

 

Gotta go with this.

 

Yeah, same! That might be why he was left out of the show.

Gali

I'd like for a G3 to have...

-A new team of 6; 4 males, 2 females.

-Different main elements; stuff like gravity, sonics, etc.

-No gender fixed elements, also.

-lots of masks!

-more variety in environments; ocean floors, very deep caves, etc.

-more female characters in general, really.

-well developed, humanoid villains; skull spiders and shadow traps weren't the toughest villains.

Yeah-nah, very wide masks wouldn't be good. I mean, why have a dust-collector when you can have a very-articulate figure with interchangeable parts?

I've gotta say, if it comes back anytime soon, it'll probably get cancelled before it even has a chance of officially starting.

That's pretty nice. I see a balance of smoothness and detail in this. Looks as if it belongs to G1 and G2 at the same time.

Who all's ready for Hero Factory G2?

What about Galidor? We can't forget its positive significance to Lego's sales.
