Also, why are Ekimu & Makuta gold? Are they the same species as the villagers? What if they're from an ancient seventh tribe of the element of light? Perhaps we may see the return of masks with non-elemental powers in the future...

They're probably put out polybags that contain a different color/build of Skull Spider, in the first year.

 

People all have their own styles of building. People are also entitled to have whatever opinion they want about a creation or a persons building style. I think its good to express your true opinions about something whether you like it or not, and I greatly encourage it.

 

 

And yes.... gold does do strange things to people! Lol

 

I do understand that people have their own building styles and judging methods and I'm not saying your creation is just plain bad. It's very good actually, it's incredibly impressive and cool, but here's the problem: that's not what the judges said they would be basing the winner on. To quote:

 

 

The winning entries will be judged by the jury upon:

• Overall coolness and creativity
• Inspired originality
• Uniqueness
• Creative use of parts

While your creation is very cool, it's not very creative, original, unique or creatively built. You've perfected the basic makuta design, but that's what they were claiming not to be looking for. That's precisely why many people, myself included, didn't just try and make the biggest movie-styled makuta we could; because the judges led us to believe that it would be a poor decision, as it only satisfies 1/5 of the categories.

Look, I'm not saying you've done anything wrong,  the blame lies entirely on the judges. Your creation, while amazing, simply didn't satisfy the desired traits, and that's why I don't think you should have won. If B6 said "Just build the most awesome bionicle you can, and we'll judge it by the rule of cool", I would have been completely okay with you winning. but he didn't, so I'm not.

And yes, I do believe it to be suspicious that you're ex-staff. Combined with my above comments that you didn't satisfy the desired traits and the fact that second place was literally paying the site, it makes me feel as if there's a bit of favouritism going on here. Like I said, I'm not blaming you, but like it or not, you're involved in a competition that I don't think was judged fairly.

Oh, and thank you for that comment on how you should express your true opinion on something; Too many people on this site think that saying any moc isn't perfect is a cardinal sin.

...What are you implying here?

 

Greed, my friend. Greed.

Dang, these are pretty good looking bootleg's. It almost makes me wanna buy a couple for the pieces alone.

Speaking of which, I wonder how many people were fooled/scammed into think those Gelu blades were misprints?

 

 

 

The green skull spiders have developed x-ray vision, which enables them to find prey even in total darkness. A fact that that gives Lewa the creeps.

 

Is that really what it says? Since when do x-rays help you see in the dark?

 

Because what is darkness? Absence of light/color. X-Ray's can 'illuminate' solid objects even in total darkness.

 

There's no natural light inside of my body, but an X-Ray can still see my bones. 

 

My hand went strait through my face and into the moon.

Objects seen by anyone with X-ray vision appear to 'glow' to them, but not anyone else obvi.

lol, this if getting good.

Tbh, who didn't expect people to be upset about the judge's decisions? A 24k GOLD mask was one a the line. And ya'll know what gold does to people. 

You mean those Velcro, folding, mask holder's? I got one of 'em. Though, some of the pouches are torn via trying to fit in 2006+ masks. 

 

I found a sealed Hewkii Mahri set at a garage sale for only $1 once!

I'm jealous, I really miss my Hewkii Mahri. I should start scouting out garage sales.

 

I don't remember if I posted about this or not here, but I found a few misprint pieces in my giant bin of Bionicle parts I didn't even know I had until a few weeks ago.

Hah me too! Were any of them really interesting?

 

Well, here's what I found: 2 gold/clear Bohrok eyes,and a set Inika Jaller thighs/legs that seemed to be injected with a swirly black pattern.

 

 

Any sightings in the mid-west?

Yeah, LoSS was sighted at a Target in California.

 

Haha California is not in the mid-west! I'm talking about Chicago and the like.

 

Oh, duh! I just seen 'West'. 

My mistake.

Congrats on the winners! Those are some pretty epic MOCs! Though, I/some people were right that the most complex models would be picked.
[not at all bitter ] Hopefully the next contests involve creative writing, instead of building ahaha. 

Prepare yourself, the fanfics are coming.

Even if Lego doesn't out right say it, G2 Bionicle DOES take place in an alternate universe. Because G1 already established that Bionicle does have a present multiverse(if you really wanna get down to it, it's apart of DC's multiverse, and the Bionicle one doesn't exist on its own).
 

There is another topic for this.

The second and third-place winners have been announced for the Golden Mask Competition.

From BZP's site apparently?

Ekimu will return.

 

I think Mask Packs are a great idea! 3 different versions of the Toa's masks, and one variation of a Skull Spider head.

Well there should definitely be more than just that, while I think that's AWESOME.

 

Toa Variations (recolors?), Skull Spider Variation, Protector Variations, Ekimu & Makuta mask packs.

 

Do you mind if I throw some business facts at you?

I think Mask Packs are a great idea! 3 different versions of the Toa's masks, and one variation of a Skull Spider head.

I didn't even know those bands existed. 

I didn't wanna spam another topic with this, but does anyone else think the Skull Spider's will transfer their special traits onto their controlee? (i.e. Hardiness, X-ray vision, increased speed, etc.)

The Skull Spider's do have different traits. Silver: Fastest out of the sub-species, Blue: Hardiest out of the sub-species, Green: X-ray vision.

A member on EuroBricks (he has an account here as well) found a few LoSS's at his local Target in California. 

I'll go back and check the TRU again to see for myself.

You can't get anyone "hooked" who isn't a little kid with a bursting imagination. Anyone besides that, good luck trying to get them into it all.

I'll see your age restrictions, and raise you Marvel and Transformers.
