  1. As long as all due credit is given, I don't mind at all
  2. Builder's note The idea behind Gadu here was to use more classic-styled G1 elements then I'd usually be comfortable doing, while still maintaining a cohesive design language throughout - not the repeating details throughout the classic pieces I chose, such as corrugated tubing, oblong notches and round shapes. I also wanted to dabble with moving away from the usual structure for the TW2 gearbox, ending up with a twisting abdominal region rather than a twisting waist.
  3. I am getting sick of that torso build. That 2011 torso frame is an antique, and the gearbox torso build looks a lot better at the back.
  4. Honestly, Hero Factory would fit into the current LCU scheme much more easily than Bionicle, seeing as HF has a focus on building and rebuilding things.
  5. This is almost as bad as the guy who started a Kickstarter for a Magic the Gathering MOC. If this is a personal hobby project and not something you're going to sell, I think it should be funded by yourselves.
  6. Since Bionicle got canned again I've had much less incentive to buy new Lego. Heck, I'm not even sure when my last Bricklink order was. That said though, I'm still doing a lot of constraction MOCing, and modding the Nexo Knights battle suits may have gotten my System gears turning again, which is good as I have a pretty hefty hoarde of System at my disposal that I hadn't touched in nearly a year. I'm also on Discord pretty much every day with fellow MOCists nattering about what we and other people are doing, and I always have a MOC on my desk at work to keep me company. Today I've got a yet-to-be-revealed rebuild of '16 Ekimu, watching my bearded face get increasingly more sullen as the day progresses. Otherwise though, I've been filling the Bionicle void somewhat with Gunpla. I'm less of a fan of Gundam itself as I am a fan of Gunpla, but I have watched the first seasons of Build Fighters and Iron Blooded Orphans, and also the first three The Origin films. After finishing IBO and BF I'll move onto the UC stuff, beginning with Mobile Suit Gundam. If its as heavy on the politics as The Origin felt like it was though, I can honestly see myself getting pretty bored pretty quickly. And much like with MOCing, I talk Gunpla and Gundam with new friends on Discord practically daily. It's interesting to see what those more invested in the hobby are doing. I also now own about 80+ ties. I like ties.
  7. His Bohrok design was what inspired mine. I showed it to him and he quite liked it!
  8. If it was true though, it'd be really good news, surely?
  9. According to BS01, it's main power is 'Mind Bending'.
  10. The timescales in Bionicle were pretty wacky. Things that could've happened in ten or so years instead spanned over thousands of years. It's ridiculous.
  11. I'm incredibly disappointed about the GBs being confirmed to be Glatorian. Let sleeping dogs lie for frog's sake.
  12. But water is liquid and ice is solid. The elements of Ice, Water, and Air all control the same substance, just in different states (solid, liquid, gas). Um... air is very definitely a different substance than water. Mind you, a Toa of Air could conceivably control clouds/steam by manipulating the air around it, but that doesn't really count as "controlling water" any more than a Toa of Earth creating an earthquake that formed a tidal wave. I think what SQ meant by that was that air also contains Hydrogen and Oxygen, same as Water and Ice do. So why was every man and his dog constantly complaining about the dissimilarities between the two when G2 was running?
  13. Surely if Stone is similar to Earth in that earth essentially consists of rocky materials, Earth is the element that should be replaced? I can see Onua being a Toa of Gravity, for example. Also, how is Iron the logical or natural choice to swap Pohatu to? I really don't see it. Surely something like Sand (his sandstorms in G2) or Speed (the Kakama in G1) would make more sense, considering his home environment and colouration? Or maybe go with my idea and redub Onua and leave Pohatu as the Toa of Stone.
  14. I currently have this little fella on my shelf. He's so cute! Otherwise though, I think he was my first Lego dragon, as I can't put my finger on whether or not I've bought/been bought any other sets with dragons in them.
  15. I want these soooo bad, if only for the recolours.
  16. Bingo. It's kinda like a battery and a hard drive all in one.
