  1. As the title states, I'm seeking BIONICLE: Unmasked 2 and BIONICLE: The Legend Reborn — Official Movie Guide, for scanning and preservation on Wall of History (as well as the BioMedia Project). Scans of both exist, but they're pretty abysmal, and the scans of Unmasked 2 aren't even complete. I'm willing to pay fairly generously for them, and they'd be going to a good cause, as they'd be scanned in high definition and made available to the entire community. If you've got either of them, please shoot me a DM!
  2. Assuming it's never revived by LEGO, the future of BIONICLE will depend entirely on how much effort we put into preservation in the present. That's why I created Wall of History — to ensure that the entire story is preserved and accessible. I didn't read any of the BIONICLE novels until I first started working on the site a few years ago, and even as an adult without nostalgia goggles, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed them. Because of that fact, I think the BIONICLE story has the potential to be enjoyed indefinitely, by both old fans and a steady stream of new ones, in the same way shows like Avatar: The Last Airbender and Neon Genesis Evangelion are. That's why I keep expanding Wall of History's scope, adding new projects like collecting the official translations of the novels and updating MNOG to be compatible with HTML5. The sets are going to be more complicated, of course — if parts keep breaking, we will eventually run out of them. Whether or not our collections survive will therefore depend on how creative we get with repairs. If we could develop a method to fix broken joints, for example (maybe using acetone), that might keep an otherwise well-preserved collection in nice shape indefinitely. Beyond that... I've yet to be sold on 3D printed BIONICLE parts. They rarely look good. If we, as a community, want to get serious about making our own sets, or recreating old ones, we'll probably need to look to replicating LEGO's injection molding process, though I have no idea how feasible that would be. I think I recall seeing something about a hobbyist figuring out injection molding pretty recently...
  3. I'm glad you like it! Editing it was a lot of fun, and I'd like to make more videos for Wall of History in the future — I'm not totally sure what I'd make, though...
  4. I've been able to get a lot of promotional CD content from the BioMedia Project, but if you find anything they don't have, or if you'd be willing to sell the physical copies you obtain, be sure to let me know.
  5. In support of some women's rights, and some gay people's rights, you mean.
  6. I'm very glad to hear that. :p If they have any problems with the site, be sure to let me know!
  7. I'm really glad you like it! Yes, commercials will be added to the site, following some database upgrades I'm working on. It's unlikely that many of them will be included in the recommended reading order, but they'll be there for the fans who want them.
  8. Here's a big one: the BioMedia Project is merging with Mask of Destiny, Litestone Studios, and Wall of History. This was announced during today's 810NICLE Day stream, and you can see the announcement video here.
  9. Update: I've added a list of the Quest for the Masks and Rahi Challenge story cards I already have. If you'd like to help me finish Wall of History's collection, please send me a message! I've also removed the solicitation variants of BIONICLE Adventures #9: Web of Shadows and BIONICLE Adventures #10: Time Trap, as it's becoming more and more clear that they were never actually sold with those covers.
  10. Update: I've added the BIONICLE style guides to the top of the list. The style guides contain high quality graphical assets, as well as guidelines for designing BIONICLE media, which will help Wall of History look and feel just right (as well as help with the development of an upcoming feature). The 2003 style guide assets, available on the BioMedia Project, have been invaluable to Wall of History's development, and having access to more of them would be even more valuable (and, as with all of Wall of History's assets, they'll be shared for the entire community to use).
  11. Would you be willing to sell any of these items?
  12. Maybe so... That would certainly be disappointing, but I'm gonna hold out hope for a little bit longer. Yeah, that's kinda what I figured. Still, it would definitely be cool to have, and I don't want any part of the BIONICLE story lost to history if it can be helped.
  13. While I was looking over BioMedia Project's latest update, I saw this page from the November-December 2004 issue of BrickMaster, which references a deleted page of the BIONICLE 2 script that was available on bionicle.com at the time. I've never seen this deleted script page before, and it's not available on BioMedia Project or BS01, as far as I can tell. I tried the Internet Archive, but it seems that bionicle.com was just one big Flash game at the time, which is now completely broken. Does anyone else have any information on this script page, or perhaps even still have it somewhere?
  14. I'd like to scan the box art and instructions, as well as dump the ROM myself, just to ensure full data integrity.
  15. That's very helpful! Thank you. If whoever bought this is looking at this topic, hit me up.
  16. Gold and silver Kanohi could be found in the Krana packs that came out in 2002.
  17. Thanks for the shout-out! To elaborate a little bit, Wall of History has all the animations, comics, novels, movies, short stories, and story serials, and allows you to read any selection of these in any order you want. If you're not yet familiar with the story, then you can just click "Start Reading" on Wall of History's homepage, which will take you through our recommended reading order. This order includes most of the story content in roughly release order. If you're already somewhat familiar with the story, and want to choose what you read, you can customize your reading order by clicking on "Contents," then clicking the gear icon in the upper right corner. Take note of the "Save Place" and "Load Place" buttons on the story pages — Wall of History can remember where you left off if you click "Save Place," and then take you back there whenever you click on "Load Place," the "Start Reading" button on the homepage, or the "Read" button in the navigation bar.
  18. Hey B/S/T! Having created several topics in this forum over the last few months, I thought it might be a good idea to just create a standing wish list for Wall of History, and then update it as time goes on. For those of you who might not be aware, Wall of History is an online archive of the BIONICLE story, and anything I receive will be transcribed or scanned and added to the site, for everyone in the community to enjoy. For an example of this, you can check out my high-definition scans of BIONICLE #1: The Coming of the Toa here. Anyway, here's my wish list as it stands now, (roughly) in order of priority: Any BIONICLE style guides. I would be especially interested in the disks that came with them. BIONICLE: Unmasked 2 The UK LEGO Adventures! magazines featuring CGI BIONICLE comics (issues 30 through 34). The mini version of BIONICLE #1: The Coming of the Toa distributed by Costco in 2003 with their copies of Mask of Light. BIONICLE: The Legend Reborn — Official Movie Guide Virtually any non-English story media. I already have... ...the Japanese editions of BIONICLE #1: The Coming of the Toa and BIONICLE #2: Deep Into Darkness. ...the German magazine which combined BIONICLE #1: The Coming of the Toa and BIONICLE #2: Deep Into Darkness. ...the Spanish editions of BIONICLE Chronicles #2: Beware the Bohrok and BIONICLE Adventures #1: Mystery of Metru Nui. These are in somewhat poor condition, so additional copies in good condition would be appreciated. ...the Japanese edition of BIONICLE Adventures #1: Mystery of Metru Nui. I would be especially interested in... ...the Hungarian editions of the BIONICLE Chronicles novels. ...the Polish physical edition of BIONICLE: Journey's End. The Polish Glatorian books. I already have Glatorian VI. I know these were also published in Portuguese — I'd also be interested in those editions. BIONICLE: The Game (2003) on Game Boy Advance, with the box and in good condition. Virtually any promotional CDs. I already have... ...the Interactive Demo CD. ...the Toa Mata promotional CD. ...the promotional CDs packaged with Tahnok-Kal, Lehvak-Kal, Panrahk, and Nuju. BIONICLE: Quest for the Masks story cards. I already have quite a lot of these. From Quest for the Masks, I already have 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, and 136. From Rahi Challenge, I already have 250, 256, 257, 258, 260, 261, 262, 264, 266, 269, 275, 277, 279, 281, and 283. Hardcover editions of the Papercutz graphic novels. Anything else rare or weird you think I might not know about!
  19. Hey B/S/T! As the title states, I'm seeking the print of BIONICLE Glatorian #4: Before the Storm that contains extra pages featuring Mata Nui fighting a Vorox and meeting Metus (I think it's got "2009" written in big red letters above the "ISSUE FOUR" in the top left corner, whereas the other print has "SEPTEMBER 2009 $2.95" written in white in that space). Once I find it, the extra pages will be scanned at a higher resolution than they have been before and made available on Wall of History. If you've got this comic, please send me a message, and we can work something out.
  20. Thanks! Yeah, that's an improvement I'm working on, there's just been a lot going on in my personal life that's slowed my progress. But don't worry, it's coming!
  21. Thanks! They were created by ivanproff on Reddit. That's a good idea! I'll put that on the agenda. The guidebook information will be on separate pages in addition to the modals. Each modal will have a link to a page containing all the guidebook information for that subject.
