That seems to be the case. The later comics all show the canisters to be standard cylinders, including the one Vezon arrived in.

From what I can find on BS01, the Piraka used the Toa Mata's original canisters. Since that sphere doesn't really resemble those, it's probably safe to assume the figure depicted inside is Vezon. He arrived on Voya Nui first, using what's said to be a different canister that Teridax took from a murdered Order Of Mata Nui member.

I’ll admit, I don’t have a lot of personal experience with autism, so I can’t speak to your experiences. I’ve struggled with other mental health issues of my own, so I try not to judge people for that sort of thing. From what we’ve seen here, it seems quite clear that you’re struggling with impulsive/obsessive behaviour and other self-control issues. And I agree that intent can easily be misconstrued on the internet. But with all of that said, it’s very hard to take you at your word when you’ve been nothing but disingenuous and deceptive since you got here. By your own admission, you used an AI to write your apology for you. You gave conflicting accounts of the situation you were apologising for, and misrepresented the facts to make yourself seem the victim (despite the person you were harassing having ample evidence to the contrary). You basically tried to trick this site into taking your side in an argument we knew nothing about. And on top of all of that, all of us have now seen you publicly promise multiple times that you would stop your behaviour, only for you to go back on your word within just a few hours. As harsh as it sounds, it would probably be in everyone’s best interests for you to unplug for a while, and avoid the temptation to engage with the internet until you're better able to control yourself. It sounds like you understand that you need help. I implore you to seek it.

BZP is "dying" as much as every other corner of the Bionicle fandom is. We're talking about a niche Lego theme that was cancelled almost a decade-and-a-half-ago (discounting the short-lived, poorly-received reboot and a few other little bones Lego has thrown us over the years). Most casual fans already aged out and moved on years ago. The story is so dense and scattered that it's difficult for new fans to get involved. The price of second-hand sets is also prohibitive for prospective incoming collectors. All that's left is an increasingly insular, dwindling community of hardcore fans. I'm afraid we're not fertile ground for growing a following.

I'd recommend taking screenshots or archiving the threads to somewhere like the Wayback Machine, in case he edits the comments.

Well, that depends on what it’s for. The subject is Bionicle, obviously, but what specifically? Is it general discussion? Is it devoted to a specific subject? Are you using it to promote a particular project? What will make it stand apart from existing servers? If your intentions overlap with the focus of an already-established server, you’re likely to end up competing with it, so it’s worth considering whether you need to create a new server in the first place. Based on the other threads you’ve been posting around the place, this unfortunately reads as a knee-jerk reaction to being kicked out of other servers. If that’s the case, who are you expecting to join your server? How will you convince them to join you? Unity is one of the cornerstones of Bionicle, and trying to create a server of your own in response to being removed from another is likely only going to cause division. Perhaps you should focus more on building bridges, instead of putting up walls and isolating yourself further.

As someone who knows nothing of this situation except what you've posted on this site, it's hard to take you at your word when you seem unable to keep your story straight. A month ago you posted a thread apologising to this Vahkiti person for the alleged stalking, saying it was an unintentional mistake and you misunderstood the rules. Now you're saying Vahkiti and the rest of the community turned on you for no reason and you're being subjected to baseless discrimination. In both accounts, you're trying to portray yourself as the victim, but the two versions of events simply don't line up.

IC: Gayle – Valley Of Death Time passed strangely in the wilds. It could be excruciatingly slow, and terrifyingly fast. Every move made navigating Iron Canyon was a strategic one, carefully considered. Every step felt like a journey. Every second felt like an eternity. Gayle’s gaze clung to every crack and crevice in the rockface, her attention drawn to every shallow shuffle and shifting shadow. Years of experience left her senses tensely attuned to every out-of-place sound or sudden movement. In a place like this, she knew an attack could come from any direction. And when it came, it would be over before anyone knew it. That was the way of things out here. Hours – sometimes days – of tension and trepidation, culminating in just a scarce few seconds of furtive fighting. One mistake was often all it took. And then it was over. “Sun’s getting high.” To Gayle, Tueris’ words were like a thunderclap, suddenly shattering the strained silence. She visibly flinched, one hand flying to the handle of the axe at her side. “Keep an eye out for a cave or nook.” Exhaling softly, she lowered her hand again and continued onwards, keeping her eyes peeled for a suitable shelter.

I remember watching this a few months ago. It was fantastic to get a glimpse behind the curtain at how things started out, and I look forward to seeing future instalments.

Congrats to everyone who took part!

That's the confusing part. A parsec is actually a measure of distance, not time.

I love the amount of thought and attention-to-detail that you've put into this. I don't think I have any skills that would be useful for assisting you, but hopefully there are some talented folks in the community who'd be able to help you out. I look forward to seeing how this project progresses.

Apparently there was some DC/Marvel constraction figures. I know nothing about them beyond the fact that they existed.

Upload a model to Shapeways and pay a lot of money.

There was no Tahu in 2009, and we'll have to wait a while longer to see if there'll be one in 2026. I was ready to question 2022 as well, but realised I'd forgotten about the goofy 90 Years Of Play thing. Canister set characters getting two years back-to-back also wasn't unique to just Tahu, it was commonplace throughout Bionicle's run. We saw it with the Toa Mata/Nuva, the Toa Metru/Hordika, the Toa Inika/Mahri, even Gresh and Skrall. Unfortunately, you're probably right. I totally understand the trope of the red one being the face of the franchise, but I imagine a lot of fans and collectors would prefer to see other sets and characters get some acknowledgement as well.

I filled this out this morning. The survey mainly asks about opinions on what kind of Lego-related merchandise people would be interested in buying - shirts, hoodies, plushies, coasters, vases, lamps, books, etc. - and what kind of style or content people might want to see on those items. Bionicle is only very briefly mentioned as one of several possibilities for t-shirt designs featuring "vintage themes", so don't get too excited.

Intriguing start. I love stories that explore these darker, more morally-complex angles that the original themes themselves never really touched on, so this is right up my alley. I look forward to seeing where things go from here.

Thanks to the diligent record-keeping of the Bionicle community, we actually have those things already. BS01's gallery lists about the same amount of concept art for The Legend Reborn as it does for the other media, and G2 got an entire physical artbook released to show off its concept material. And all of the relevant songs and soundtracks can easily be found on Youtube.

Report the posts, and it'll be dealt with by the moderators.

I guess there's no proper review topic for this one? It's a decent start, and an interesting concept, but as others have said it feels a little unpolished at the moment. Personally, I'd recommend taking the time to write and edit most/all of the story before you start uploading, that way there aren't long waits between chapters, and people won't have to potentially go back and reread multiple times when you edit or change things.

If you're looking for an echo chamber where everyone mindlessly agrees with you, don't post your opinion on a public discussion forum. I get the point you're trying to make here, but "dresses in black and has red eyes" is probably the most common stereotype in all of fictional villainy. That alone doesn't make a character a deliberate riff on Makuta Teridax specifically. It's also worth noting that despite how he was sometimes described in-story, none of the official set versions of Terry actually have black armour, nor does his depiction in the movies. As for your other notes, the Makuta species were given so many powers that they probably overlap with just about every villain Lego has ever made. Not everything is connected, or a deliberate reference.

Makes sense to me. Rhotuka spinners were the best launcher gimmick Bionicle ever had, and the Visorak are arguably the best clone villain wave. Realistically, it's probably not the largest when it comes to the size of the completed build. But I'd guess whoever wrote that was going by total piece count, as it does use the most parts of any Bionicle set, at 856 pieces. That just barely beats out the Skopio, which has 849 parts. This actually checks out. Bricklink lists a total of 155 items in the Kanohi category: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?v=5&pg=1&catString=235&catType=P Some of them are a little iffy. The Glatorian helmets are counted as Kanohi, as is the visor piece used on some of the '07 masks. Some of the G2 masks also appear twice, as parts that come in different two-colour blends often have different codes for them even if the actual mould is the same. But "over 150" seems like a fair generalisation to make. If you took into account all of the different colours the masks were available in (especially in the early years), the total would be even higher.

I think you may be misreading the BS01 page a little. It says everything post-Journey's End takes place "less than 1 month prior to Present Day". That page only uses months and years as its metrics, so "less than 1 month" would definitely encompass the periods of days mentioned in your examples above.

This is where you lost me. We're not given much info to work with on the Spherus Magna AU, but one of the few details we do have is that the Brotherhood did not rebel against Mata Nui. Therefore, he can't have been usurped and banished into space by Terry. This also doesn't work, as one of the other key details we're given about the Spherus Magna AU is that the Skrall were planning to strike against the other villages, but because the planet got fixed early the Makuta were able to shut down those plans and take over the Skrall army for themselves.
