  1. Could you give us a photo of that Kirop mask? It sounds rather interesting.
  2. Uh, yes it can. EDIT: Oh, I thought you were referring to the updated photo. Nevermind.
  3. How about a 'Boxor V2' piloted by an Earth villager who may not be officially named Nuparu but us older fans know he totally is Nuparu, and younger kids would think the V2 is just another jibberish number like 'Kaxium V3' or 'Ninja DBX', while we'd squeal in excitement totally getting it.
  4. I'm making a "custom year" of Bionicle, pretty much what 2009 could/should have been. After Teridax took over the universe, some cool stuff happened in the Matoran universe, but we were too busy in gladiator land and only got a serial for it - Reign of Shadows, which is pretty much what this is. The idea is that this would be 2009, and the Glatorian/Bara Magna would be pushed forward to 2010, however in canon they would still take place at the same time. The first wave of sets for this year would consist of the six Toa Nuva, in forms which look like a cross between their Nuva forms and adaptive armour forms, since the idea is the armour failed, and they were semi-reverted back. They have also upgraded their weapons, and got a few additional weapons. The other 6 canister sets consist of three Rahkshi; Plant Control, Cyclone and Chain Lightning. Then Helryx, Lariska and one other set I haven't yet decided on. Then in the summer there would be an Artakha titan set, along with some others, again, undecided. Most of the "sets" for wave 1 are finished or close to finished, as well as most of Artakha. The Cryoshell song paired with this year would be Falling. In my mind there would also be a movie for the year, with a slightly darker tone than what we're used to, with the Toa split up and in hiding, some forming small resistance forces while at the same time on the run from Rahkshi and Exo-Toa. The movie would end the Ignika flying through space approaching Bara Magna. I'm also working on a combined universe of sorts, which connects G1 and G2, and also introduces a fanmade planet in the middle inhabited by MOCs, which other people will be able to add and contribute to. However the project is on hold due to some issues, but here's an map showing the basic idea. http://toachronix.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Combined-Universe-Universe-Map-V2-521149932
  5. Platinum, gold and copper aren't alloys, just saying.
  6. My rare masks include: 2x Chrome Hau Blue Ruru Green Ruru Brown Ruru 2x Copper Huna Copper Komau 2x Gold Vahi Pearl gold Kraahkan 2 Variants of the Poisoned Hau Nuva NYCC Clear Mask of Fire/Hau with packaging Orange Vahi Movie Edition Kraahkan Trans-light blue Kaukau Trans-yellow Kaukau Other misc rares include a prototype black Toa Nuva leg piece, a prototype black Toa Mahri breathing tube and a Trans-red Kanoka.
  7. Dude, just post a link. You simply copy and paste the URL at the top of the page.
  8. I notice that, in explaining why he's "the worst", you couldn't name a single objective flaw. In fact, you pretty much highlighted all the aspects of his design that have the potential to give him any distinct appeal. Trans. Neon Green? An intentional part of his color scheme! Maybe you don't like it, but it's no more a mistake than Kopaka's Trans. Light Blue or Tahu's Trans. Neon Orange. Same goes for the bone spikes (which give him a Mad Max-esque aesthetic appropriate for a desert setting), and the assymetrical arms—which are actually done really well, with one arm clearly designed to be more heavily armored and the other designed to look like it's pulsing with energy. And what's weird is that Pohatu DOES in fact have a fair number of actual deficiencies that set him apart from the other Toa and lessen his appeal in comparison, none of which you mentioned. He has the lowest part count of the bunch. His build is by far the most basic and least innovative. Unlike the other Toa, he lacks back armor. His weapons, while unique, tend to flop around due to the pins that connect the two halves losing friction over time. Those specific flaws are why he's my least favorite of the new Toa, as well—but the things you mentioned are actual design choices that play a big part in making up for those flaws. Trans light blue = IceTrans neon orange = Fire. You don't really see many translucent green stones. You do in locations where uranium ore can be found. And that's not as rare as you'd think—uranium is 40 times more common than silver and 500 times more common than gold. Uranium ore even glows under a blacklight, like Pohatu's bones. So it wouldn't surprise me if that was a direct inspiration for the new Pohatu's color scheme. oh i was gonna say some green gemstone, like perodot. Peridohatu. I suppose that makes sense, but personally I think colours representing ores would be much more fitting on Onua.
  9. Uh, this is the Official eBay Auctions topic, not the Advertise your YouTube channel topic, just saying.
  10. So now we know who to thank for those wonderful Mixel joints. I don't actually have any yet, but I hear they're great. One question, how tight are they?
  11. There's no point in posting that if there's no link.

  13. I'll be pretty disappointed if Frank Welker doesn't voice Fred. You know he's been doing Fred since the first iteration of the show in 1969? Wait, hold up. Fred is Megatron? I did not know that.
  14. NINJAGO. You could have a pack of maybe 4 minions and some weapons.
  15. 1. LEGO Universe faction people - Assembly Engineer, Sentinal Knight, Paradox Space Marauder and Venture League Daredevil. They basically have the moves and attacks they had in LEGO Universe. 2. Bionicle mask stands which let you play as it's respective Toa, scaled down to be not much taller than a minifig of course though. 3. Stormer, Furno and Rocka HF minifigs. 4. Chase McCain, who puts handcuffs on people and says cheesy one-liners and puns. 5. Unikitty, who can fire rainbow beams and cupcakes at her enemies. 6. Iron Man (Maybe the Mark 43, Hulkbuster and War Machine so they each have different attacks) 7. Captain America 8. Luke Skywalker 9. Minecraft Steve, with various block related attacks. These aren't in any particular order by the way, and this is if somehow LEGO were able to use both Marvel and DC stuff.
  16. I can't decide on the best Toa, but Pohatu is the worst. He's really short, has translucent neon green bones for some reason, and has spikes of bone sticking out from his arm. Speaking of his arms, they're totally asymmetrical. One arm is trans neon green and dark orange, and the other is black and silver. I'd recommend getting Tahu first.
  17. Great, now i'm upset because we got Skull Grinder instead of a bike-riding-baddie called Skull Chopper. :v *cough* ghostrider *cough*
  18. I have my Toa Mata and Rahi masks on a custom LEGO display board, all my others are in a box with seperate compartments for different types of stuff. I keep my NYCC clear Mask of fire in the packaging though. I also have a smaller box of duplicate masks I need to sell. The 2015 golden masks are in front of the Toa on my shelf, except for Lewa's which is on his back since I have him displayed flying.
  19. Just wondering, is posting a review of someone's MOC allowed? I was thinking of doing a text review of a MOC and posting a link to the original thing, but I thought I'd ask first just to be sure. EDIT: Also, would it go in Lego discussion or Lego based creations?
  20. These can be from movies, G2 animations, comics, whatever. One of mine is: "Your command? Did your brain catch fire? I am Kopaka, and I work under no command".
