Hey there!
I am flexible on price and happy to have a chat about it to negotiate.

You're more than welcome to shoot me a message if you like to discuss

As in I literally have almost none of the money to make it happen without major lowballing or trading in a lot of my rahi and titans (nothing from 03 or after 04 rn), but I will definitely watch to see if it's still available in a few months.

What answer was it? Is it the Nike shoes or something else?

I'm yet to test out the demo, but I will probably play through lomn first as it's far more fun and interesting.

Oh man, this was on a t shirt, I want it now lol.

If only I could afford it as I need most of what's pictured to complete my collection.

are you by any chance American nectann?

Yes, I am a red blooded American.

are you one of them....?

No, I'm a bit more muscular and would prefer guns lol.

He's very skinny, looks exactly like the kind of guys to collect knives.

I love that you found a cool use for znap parts.

sure there cool/cute and all but they never do much of any thing important, so like I said mask holders.

The masks they wear have no power I'm pretty sure.

This is all G1 stuff

1. Low set prices $10 (adjusted for inflation) for an 01 toa was such a good deal on a high quality action figure
2. The movie era (03-05) efforts on consolidating all lore into one medium
3. Every time a mask got released in a new color after mask packs stopped being produced

Yeah, I've been into bionicle since 2015(known about it since 2008), but I didn't engage much online until 2021, so I only have a vahi.

Can I see what you've done so far? (sounds like a great idea)

Still in preproduction it's just a giant pool of ideas at the moment.

I'm planning to attempt making an animation pitch once I have the cursory plot and mechanics of said reboot complete.

I'm about to see how bad nivawk is as it looks too skeletal to me, but I got an insane deal on a new one, so I couldn't say no.

All in all, the story is over. If you want to keep the spirit alive, rebooting an old tale isn't the way to do it.

I care more about getting constraction with fun builds back, even if it's mostly system while also having equally compelling lore.

I have been working through in my mind how to strike a balance with this such as classifying the elements by types such as:

Energy:(fire, electricity, light, plasma(lost fire tribe with varied abilities from fire), gravity, and ice(cold))

Substance: stone(though it should be more blinged out than brown), earth and water

Mediate: air, sound(lost air tribe with permutative abilities), vacuum(another air tribe with different specializations).

And then shadow is its own thing because it is the antithesis to all the elements.

I'm also thinking for it to start in the fire tribe's territory with the arrival of a takua type character sent with 6 stones that choose villagers to receive mask powers (while not changing their size to toa size, so there will be consistently small sets) as he travels across borders preparing each tribe for the arrival of the Great spirit in a world of darkness. This would allow for a focus on each tribe per episode of each media to handle a larger cast of collectible characters while having a main cast. The chosen villagers to get mask powers will be permanent cast members after each introduction whereas supporting cast members would go in and out of being featured in the media. (Nuparu and kapura will hopefully get the most screen time of the supporting cast) 

I don't want the main cast to be exact copies of the original 6, but I do also think each should be loosely based on their original characterization with more twists as to why they act the way they do. (Such as the new kopaka being a hermit and loner because he accidentally killed someone and can't forgive himself for example)

Other than MNOG it was Halo 2 on legendary way after the bounty was collected, just for fun.

I didn't realize how sassy pohatu was in the first comic.

Kopaka: I work alone

Pohatu: By choice or because nobody can stand you?

The Agori build is despised by most Bionicle fans.

Exactly why I like it, pay $50 for a toy that barely poses and will have its joints break if you play with it how it's supposed to. Really the only reason I claim to like it is because it's the official toy release of nektann, the best bionicle character nobody cares about. 

The agori build is the best thing to come out of bionicle, there are no bad sets. (except for umbra I think, wheel feet dude with ugly colors.)

Friction joints on the shoulders kinda detract from the aesthetic, but otherwise I can't complain when old technic pieces make up most of the build. The face is amazing.

Definitely a punk crab, one who'd push another over the edge of a pot rather than a normal crab who'd pull the escaping crab back down. Those are some nice eyebrows that definitely complete the look.

I love the technic aesthetic, the robot arm(from exo force) fingers using racks as the leg plating and the fact that the funny turret chest looks like an airplane part and doesn't look like a copy of the transformer warpath. It also strikes a good balance between simplicity and clutter.

Buying old sets and gauging the current audience.

Missing out on everything and then finding a good place for rare sets. I honestly wish I could have been around for the vorhiki hoax, but I wasn't even born yet so... oh well.
