  1. For me (in old Bionicle) all "storage" was was in pin on the back of a set.
  2. Evil Hacker Guy = Highly Suspect Yes. Yes. Yes he is.
  3. I think dark and mysterious suited Bionicle.
  4. Lewa is fantastic, but his powered up form leaves a bit to be desired. He loses the swords from his axes and he's hard to pose with the Protector's two-handed weapon (which is sized to the Protector, not to the larger Toa). Still better than Kopaka's (which loses his signature shield and pastes the Protector's saw onto his spear awkwardly) and Tahu's (awkward weapons and asymmetrical armor shells). Hard to pose? More like impossible...
  5. Best is MM vs SG, for obvious reasons. Worst is Skull Scorpion. Well, the function looks horrible, it's legs don't move, overall ugly, and has weird transorange.
  6. I mean, why can't they just use things from Gen 1 like Mount Ihu?
  7. Yeah. Their needs to be about a balance and mix of both.
  8. I don't have him, so I can't say thing. From what I've seen, he looks cool, and he would be considered a Rahi with that function.
  9. Sure why not... Let's do it... Wait Chima is over? What I miss now? Yeah, It ended while Ninjago lives. It was not even that recent.
  10. Wow. I like how you didn't use Tahu's 2015 mask, for that is already overused.
  11. Did Greg ever smally start writing/illistrating this? If so, any pictures?
  12. *Shows people not on BZpower Gaardus* "Yeah, yeah, that's really good!" "You haven't see the other people."
  13. I think that having the same characters over and over again would get kind of stale eventually.Sometimes changing up the Toa can be really good. Take the Metru for example. We were all used to the over-confident Tahu and the friendly Pohatu, however we were given a rather self-conscious Vakama and a really uncaring Onewa. The result was arguably one of the most dysfunctional Toa teams, but it was very heartwarming to finally see them learn to cooperate. These changes in personality can give the story some new dimensions. You are assuming I am a fan of the other Toa teams we saw in G1- I am not. They fractured the storytelling, and though the Metru design was my favourite Toa set design, the sets from the Metru era are too drab and dark, precursors to the almost parodying Inika and Mahri grim dark stories we got later. This shift pushed the OG Toa to the background and really fractured the story. No thank you. Well, even if the execution of them during that time wasn't good, can you honestly try to tell us that it's completely a bad idea because of the way it was handled? Those toa, were interesting characters to say the least. Although they weren't executed well in the past, having a new toa team in the future isn't inherently a bad idea and could owrk excellently. Any piece of story or idea can be stupid and bad if not done well. You're assuming that if something like a new toa team was taken from the old story, it would be exactly the same as it was done before, and that's a false assumption. Ninjago isn't the greatest example. The cast has changed and been added onto. We now have Lloyd, his parents, Skylor, and the death (though return) of Zane. If we only had those original four ninja, things would be pretty stale right about now. And think- Ninjago had a tv show that allowed for visible and good characterization, whereas Bionicle mainly has bios and books. To an outsider who follows the story less heavily as a larger fan, they'd get bored of seeing the same character over and over again. And looking at a story perspective of the sets, as great as sets can get, I wouldn't want to have fifty Tahu's running down my shelf. Eventually, a change isn't bad. And most people in support of bringing in a new toa team aren't yelling for it to happen right now. Most are in agreement that having the current toa for a fair and honest amount of time can only be good. Give them the characterization they need to make them interesting, loveable and well done, but move on before you're just randomly adding onto their characters in a desperate attempt to keep them changing when they don't need to. Isn't Skylor evil? Sorry, I have not watched the episodes yet.
  14. 'minute thirty seconds just isn't long enough. I'm always left thinking, "That's it?" But then this sparks the discussion of weather Bionicle should become like Ninjago. You know, a TV show on Nick or CN or something.
  15. I agree. PoJ's posing is so underwhelming compared to some of the others. Gail's pose makes no sense, either. What is she doing? Flying in mermaid mode, apparently. Gail's always 3 steps ahead.
  16. 5 minutes long. I think it's the best way to tell a story.
  17. 1. Stone 2. Jungle 3. Earth 4. Ice 5. Water 6. Fire That'd be my thought!
  18. Alright, I know a few 9- year olds who have really gotten into the TV series and can't wait for Feb. 23. Their birthday is coming up soon, but I don't know if I should spent more then, say, $20 dollars. Oh, and they like Jay. And not including spinners. Like he is their favorite character. I want a small set with him, I think.
