Are those non-lego rubber bands on him? I personally don't mind them, but does he stay together without them?

Just want to ask: does anyone plan on (or is already) making step-by-step instructions? I just wanted to ask because the pictures aren't enough for me to accurately build him.

It doesn't necessarily have to be dark or edgy it maybe requires more mysticism, questionable animations maybe like the early 2001 animations with no narration or dialouge, in 3D with a bright but not too colorful background. I don't know. It's really upsetting that the story was lacking in any way at all. I don't even know what to say.

Are you backtracking? You literally just said:

Whoever's not an edgelord about Bionicle obviously doesn't put as much thought and emotion behind it. :^) Yes fam, there are other emotions to be evoked besides "Happy".

And you said that "G1 WAS DARK," but now you're saying "oh, it doesn't have to be REALLY dark, it just has to do these things..." I'm not gonna call you an edgelord because you want things grimmer, but you don't seem to understand what a dark tone in a story is and just seem to want things grim for the sake of grim. Also, you countered something you were objectively wrong about ("There are no creatures in Bionicle!!!1!!1) with "bioncle's gettin CANELLED..." which, granted, you ended up being right about, but has literally nothing to do with what you were being accused of.

 

What did they expect when they handled the franchise with such a lack of effort and passion.True tragedy. Most shallow LEGO themes last longer than this, honestly its really sad that BIONICLE (BIONICLE of all things!!) would have such a short duration. What a waste. Plus LEGO is just going to blame the brand again. BIONICLE has so much potential to honestly be up there with the best of franchises, but the reboot was yet another disappointment. It has well earned it place up on the shelf with the fantastic four and robocop reboot. Sad that BIONICLE has be put to rest again, when with the right touch it could be the huge beloved franchise it once was and more.

 

 

On the plus side G2 is over so thats good 

 

Agreed. Bionicle G1 fills me with nostalgia - in a good way. This new Bionicle... was just pathetic. I mean really, cancelled after less than 2 years? It's an embarrassment, and a disgrace to the bionicle name

 

it is no secret that compared to G1, they really didn't try

 

People have been saying as much since the start of G2, and I can't tell if it's out of genuine ignorance of the effort that's been put into making the reboot into a worthy BIONICLE story or if they are so resistant to the idea that their interests might have shifted over the years that they have to project blame on the designers for why they don't like it as much.

Please; try to understand. 

 

With G1, they tried because they were about to go bankrupt

 

with G2, there was no need to try - Lego is now very successful

 

G1 lasted 11 years

 

G2 barely lasted 2

 

Please do the math

You have to realize that sales numbers are a thing that exist. You don't seem to understand that the amount of effort they put into g2 doesn't equal how well the sets sold. The depends on the toy market at the time (action figure sales declining) the competition it had (in which Lego may have created its own worst enemy with the Star Wars constraction) and the marketing of that product directly (to which I will admit, the marketing of the g2 sets was not the greatest, with their greatest marketing tool hidden behind a Netflix paywall). With that in mind, you can't say how much effort Lego put into the line. There's evidence to support both sides of that argument, but no one can say for certain, and it boils down to your opinion whether or not it "disgraced the bionicle name." And it's fine to have your own opinion, but don't make a statement with absolute certainty when you have no evidence to back it. You don't have to like g2. But that tells you nothing about lego's effort into the brand.

Not only is Pohatu front and center but look at his legs: they appear to be covered in some sort of stone. This all may mean the trans-lime in all the villains may actually be related to the element of stone...

I really like the moc, but a coherent and sensible story behind umarak's failure to capture the creature is even better! One question though: do you plan on making on of these for all the creatures? Because that would be awesome!

Two things: First, I love all of them! I said this in someone else's post, but they look like some bosses from Dark Souls.

Second, since these are combinations between sets, can you put together some instructions for them? If that would be too difficult then don't worry about it, I'll try to figure it out myself.

It looks like something straight out of Dark Souls, albeit with a brighter color palette. Well done!
