Gipsy Danger

Well, of course its selling well. Its back. Everyone's rejoicing and being glad that its back.

Oh. I thought you got them from online sellers. Ok. Look, we've been basically fighting for, like, a year now and can we be friends and forget about fighting about bbs and ccbs? If I got them from online sellers, I sure as heck wouldn't've taken the sets aparts. As for being friends, I want to be your friend, but it'll be hard to do if you keep bashing CCBS. If you state your dislike for it in a different way ("I don't really like CCBS because of its lack of detail, and to me it feels too simple."), then I'll be your friend no problem (same goes for HF and Bio '15). Got it. Now I do like ccbs, but not the shells. I think ccbs with no shells looks cooler and more realistic... So I basically like both BBS and CCBS. In certain cases, I like that too, it can give a nice skeletal feel to the body, if needed. :3 For me, its needed.

So its basically a creation that you made. I don't get it.

You've got a good eye for those things—I didn't notice that Kai lacked shoulder armor until you pointed it out! In any case, there's actually a simple reason for that—that's the Kai from 70735 Ronin R.E.X., which lacks armor to allow him to fit in the Airjitzu spinner. The new Kai also appears in 70736 Attack of the Morro Dragon, where he does include shoulder armor like the other ninja. Oh, I always look for stuff that Lego messes up. And somehow, I don't get any Lego Magazines! Now I would just check for Ninjago, really.

You did?! How did it happen? That's General Discussion material. Very off-topic. Let's talk about G2's approach to story. That's fruitful. He's just saying what happened to him, that's all. He just wanted to tell us what happened to him, and he know's that. Yeah, but it has nothing to do with the topic at hand, we were just reminding him that it's a bit off topic. Anyways, yeah, let's brutally criticize a story that's barely even been built up yet! /s What I'm trying to say is that he'll go "in-topic" as in like back to the conversation. But I want to know what happened and how before we go back in the discussion.

Given the options on the pole I see why you picked that but, just look. Why doesn't Kai have armour?

Not really. Matoran are basically smaller than the "protectors". Like when they first did the matoran back in 2000/2001/2002. BIONICLE villager size changed over the years. In 2001 and 2002 they were much smaller than their leaders, the Turaga, but from 2003 onward villagers and village leaders were always roughly the same size (compare 2003 Jaller to 2001 Vakama, or Nuhrii to Turaga Dume, or Berix to Raanu). So I think if we got G2 villagers as sets they'd be similar in height to the Protectors, though maybe with slightly less armor and gear like we have seen in the animations. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if the only reason the "McToran" were so small in the first place was that they were being distributed as freebie McDonalds toys and had to be kept within an extremely tight budget. The simplest villager you could build that resembles the ones in the animations would be about 21 pieces. Even with weapons, a figure this size could possibly be sold as a $5 impulse set like the Mixels or previous years' LEGO Friends animal packs rather than a $10 set like the Protectors. But one of the biggest disadvantages (other than the challenge of introducing build differences with so few pieces) would be the lack of any kind of action feature. Even the $2, 8-piece "McToran" sets had a disk-flinging function. Without any sort of function, G2 villager sets would end up feeling even more like watered-down Protectors. There are other options of how to make villager sets interesting, of course. For instance, you could bump them up to $10 sets like the Protectors and give each one a small vehicle or creature (this might weaken their potential for "army building", but would add more building value and play value). Or you could add weapons that include some kind of function — ideally something different than the rotating blasters of the Protector sets, though, because again, you wouldn't want them to seem like just watered-down Protectors. This did not need to be explained because I knew what happened over the yrs. I don't understand it and I wasn't talking about the bio '15 villagers. Well, I mean, seeing as G1 is over, G2 villagers are basically what any "Matoran" sets today would be anyway. They wouldn't have to look exactly like the villagers from the 2015 animations (they could ostensibly have different masks or proportions or armor), but that's our best hint at what G2 villagers might look like, and it's fairly consistent with what 2003, 2004, and 2009 BIONICLE villagers looked like (which is to say, around the same size as their leaders, except with different physiques). So if new "Matoran" sets did appear, I think the Protector sets give a general idea of what their height and articulation would be like. "Well, I mean, seeing as G1 is over, G2 villagers are basically what any "Matoran" sets today would be anyway" The old matoran sets are still out today because they are being sold by other people.

My thought? Watch all of the episodes or go to Ninjago wiki to find out about anything you are thinking about. I know that, but it was so bad I refuse to say Advance and Ghost made it, since they made such awesome Bionicle videos. That's... stupid. You can't just invent your own facts to help you insult a theme you dislike. Invasion From Below may have been inconsistent with the rest of the episodes, but Advance and Ghost are directly responsible for a large part of that—so insulting Lego based on patent falsehoods is way out of line. You can. Its called "thinking" . Just kidding. But you are right...

Everything about it all except the ccbs limbs and the new heads. That happens to me sometimes. Once I got a cut from practicing with my sword . You'd better be carful! Well, hey. I'm still learning .

So we can show our mocs on a topic. Cool!

I never heard of chlorine tablets. But I did hear hear the word chlorine . Do you have a pool? If so, what you probibly stick in the filter is a chlorine tablet. They are about the size of a large cookie and are a freckled white color. I don't. But I wish.

Because Marvel is in the business to sell merchandise. That is how they make their money. The movies have always been an (albeit well constructed) vehicle to sell licensed goods. Pacific Rim was never about that and that is not how Guillermo Del Toro chose to do his business. We've strayed about as far from the topic as we can however. Let's wrangle this back on-discussion, please. Ok. No wonder. Not all of the bones. I point to this image I uploaded on my DeviantArt gallery (original image is from here, just can't find the article) of Skull Basher's legs. His femurs are very skeletal looking, with no ball to put armor on. And from that image as well, you see the (prototype) new armor add ons which have extreme detail on them. His femurs are very skeletal and if he were a human they would be anatomically incorrect but this is a toy line we are talking about so I will not look at that seriously. I disagree with you about the armor add ons having extreme detail. Although I will say they do have slight detail. Add ons + slight detail = no. Saying the add ons have slight detail is like saying old Bio pieces had no detail. No. Not really. Yes, really. I checked it and it could use SO many improvements for the way I see it. That's because you think everything to do with CCBS is bad. Nope. For me, only 40% of ccbs parts (which is very little)works for my mocs and creations. But what about you and bbs? I have trouble believing that percentage. As for me, I only have a Claw, a Climbing Claw, a handful of Bohrok eyes, a Guurahk Staff, and a Drill of Onua. That's not enough to judge the system as a whole. I'm thinking that's hard to believe...

Canisters being eco-friendly because they're not meant to be thrown away is assuming other people have the same priorities as mega-fans. I've seen horrifying accounts of parents even throwing away extra parts, just because they're not needed for the set itself. What's stopping people from just throwing away canisters the same way? As for boxes, even if you do throw them away instead of recycling them, they're biodegradable. Also, there's the matter of cardboard boxes being cheaper (so they make up less of the cost of the set, and more actual parts can be included), and the fact that canisters are less eco-friendly to PRODUCE (being a more energy-intensive process to mold in the first place). The most creative use I ever had for a Bionicle canister: catching a snake that had found its way into our basement. There were no other containers handy, so the canister was the easiest way for me to catch the little guy and release him outside. I also tend to use a Toa Nuva canister for transporting neckties when I need to pack fancy clothes for a trip. In general, though, I only use canisters for things like that because they're there—if I didn't have so many canisters cluttering my house, it'd be easy to find alternative storage that might well serve the same function more effectively. 1: IDK about everyone else, but I flattened my set boxes and stored them in a drawer. For some reason I can't throw my LEGO packaging away.... 2: *Shudders* I don't like snakes. And yet for some strange reason the Serpentiene are my favorite Ninjago enemy..... Aanchir and I have also been flattening out our set boxes. We've been keeping them in one of the cardboard-backed plastic sleeves that come with the instruction booklets and sticker sheets of larger sets to keep them from getting torn or wrinkled. It's pretty much a perfect fit! That's also a big part of why I'm glad the new sets aren't in canisters. The 13 boxes we have so far take up about as much space flattened as a single one of the $20 Toa boxes would take up unflattened. That alone should give you a pretty good idea of how much space we're able to save for future sets and their packaging! "Aanchir and I have also been flattening out our set boxes. We've been keeping them in one of the cardboard-backed plastic sleeves that come with the instruction booklets and sticker sheets of larger sets to keep them from getting torn or wrinkled. It's pretty much a perfect fit!" Why not just throw away the cardboard boxes and just keep the instructions? Throwing away cardboard boxes and sticker sheets(if the stickers are still on there, I get it)gives Mocmaker and I more room(Like just a bit more room). Now I do keep the canisters because their useful. Just saying. This was my thought.

"Storage of pool chorine"?! That is weird, don't you think?

Definitely Ninjago. If only they could make the weapons so REALISTIC, as in like, from the show.

Is skeleball basically ccbs? it's another way of saying it, but most people who use the word are speaking negatively about CCBS. It's basically like when you call someone "pizza topping" because of their acne; it's not a wrong description, but it's kinda mean and definitely negative Okay.

Definitely Matoro.
