Great as always. A lot of interesting revelations in this chapter.

Kadihi is back for round two! Watch Ask Kadihi: Part 2 now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlOsEx3jy-U

My dream is to one day own the gold Ignika from Toa Mata Nui, but also to own the Mask of Creation (which will hopefully become a reality soon enough).

Having just picked up this set a few days ago, I can say that any living being in the universe owes it to themselves to get at least one copy of this set whether they are a fan of Marvel or not.

I would be in the rebellion against Tuyet.

Been surprised by all of the durability comments about pieces I've seen lately. Maybe it's my general lack of sets from 08-10 (are those the weak ones?), but I've never outright broken a piece. No, CCBS is not magically superior in durability compared to Bionicle. It's just that people who didn't take good care of their Bionicle sets ended up being surprised that they broke. Granted, the lime-green limb piece failure was something else altogether. Uhhh, I took good care of my sets and I still ended up with many broken pieces. The joints in the last few years of G1 were very poor quality so it didn't take much to start cracking them. Most of mines cracked or broke after a few months. Same here. What point are you really trying to make now? You don't like CCBS. End of discussion, at least the way I see it.

I hear it brings out the flavor. In this case, the burning flavor, allowing Kopaka to deliver his burning comeback lines.

CCBS. While I do use a mixture of both part systems, I prefer the smooth shapes of CCBS because it creates a solid look and fills in a character. That and the system is durable; I refuse to use Inika torso frames as I have broken six in the past few years, but combining the front portion of an Inika torso with a CCBS frame can create a flow between the two systems.

Is anyone going to update the main page article now that we (sort of) know Kopaka is going to be in a set?

If you look at the hand you should see a small notch near where the axle can go in. Try working a thin object in there or use your fingernail and see if you can pry it out. At least that's what I do when a problem like this comes up for me.

I'm surprised to see something like this on BZPower at all, let alone on the front page. Still, I just want to see the pictures first. Same here. It's bad enough that this list comes after the official release of the summer sets, but now we have more to look forward to just too soon, in my opinion.

I'm glad the final design is what it is. The prelim is just too much; it doesn't look like it fits in with the background a well as the final character models and like I said, it's just overdoing it.

I love all of these designs! I especially like the design on Takadox and how posable the body appears to be.

Long answer: Usually, I start off by thinking of a personality. My first questions are: "How would this character's personality reflect their design? Is this character prideful or relaxed? Evil or good? What element does their personality correspond with?" More questions come up, but an idea comes to mind. For this example, I'll refer to my self MOC, as it's the easiest example I can think of. Pictures can be found here. This character reflects my own personality traits while also reflecting some of my physical traits. I'm a small person, in size and weight, so I used that to make a smaller body shape for this MOC. I also decided on using the element of Sonics, as I am musically inclined, but I used the accent color of light blue instead of the usual reddish-orange because I like the color blue (and my eyes are blue). The claws on the back also help to reflect the element in the design, acting as tuning forks to draw in sound to be used as elemental energy. I went mostly with smooth texturing, as I prefer that design, which the use of CCBS helps to create (and I'm NOT using Inika torsos or sockets anymore; I've broken too many that I cannot use them without something falling apart in my hands). I gave him long legs because I, in real life, have longer legs in comparison to my body structure. In making MOCs, I usually make every bit a part of the personality. If the character is, say, strong and easily angered, I make the torso and limbs reflect that by providing some bulk. In my example, the character has a thin body structure, which indicates that he's fast but also has some strength behind him. One could say that the size and smoothness help him in being aerodynamic. Overall, I'd say to practice with layering and coming up a bunch of techniques that suit you. In other words, build your own style; try not to copy someone else and say you're done. Short answer: This is a question that is not easily answered in just a few sentences. It takes practice and it all depends on what you want to make.

Happy Birthday, B6!

It's been a long time coming, but Kadihi the Conspiracy Theorist has finally provided answers to viewer questions!

Either the Infected Hau Nuva or the Clear-Glitter Avohkii. Trans-orange Mask of Fire is in there, too.

Episode 10 was just uploaded to the Lego Russia youtube... in Russian... LEGO® Бионикл® - Серия 10 - Пробуждение зла

I just won this set from BS01's Skull Week contest. I'm so looking forward to getting it!

Someone on Eurobricks found it from another person who found it on Rusbionicle.

So, what is this? Is this golden Skull Warrior mask real?

YES! IT'S BACK! I'm really interested to see where this goes. I wonder who those other poor Matoran are, but I bet we've already been introduced to them in some way, shape, or form.

Not everyone in it, but...
