  1. Well it's still easy to just find a rhotuka supply box for sale, spray painting one black and add a protective clear coat if ya want a elusive black rhotuka.
  2. We did ask the staff employees many times on occasions for if they would be arriving, but none had a definite answer. Also as i mentioned earlier so far i've checked this one out http://amzn.to/1TLIE6B Maybe itll work if my friend decides to buy online, although he has no previous experience with online shopping. he considered it as a last resort since its odd that uxar and ketar were never sold out to begin with...they simply seem like they wont arrive with their current wave counterparts until very late when the summer wave comes which around august-september around here. Problem is mostly resolved, my friend answered his mobile phone message and he's taking a look at the amazon link i mentioned. this can be locked now
  3. about G2 earth controlling diamonds and crystals, i would say they aren't really far off from being possible how most formations exist
  4. All of them look great but my only minor gripe is Melum. He kind looks like he is too overly complex compared to the rest, the distinction is good but still a bit too much over the top.

  6. Im trying to ask for help for a friend of mine. We have searched multiple times over 3 months for Uxar and Ketar. The thing is all winter/spring 2016 sets arrived but the Ketar (brown) and Uxar did not arrive anywhere in 3 store. e have been checking a local supermarket, a official lego outlet store and a Toys'R'Us set. The results we get are the same they dont appear on shelves, they dont have it in their sotrage rooms and the sets are not in the system registry if their propers set id number is given. So i tried checking at the lego online shop, but it doesnt deliver here to iceland and he has no relativves that can receive it and mail it forward to us. So does anyone know a secure and reliable store that sends to north europe iceland?
  7. 1 thing stands out, why are there no jaws on them that could be removable wh not in unity mode. Also i have a minor gripe about Ikir's wing connection pieces, why are the ball connectors dark grey? Translucent Red or Orange would have been better since i dont think these grey pieces blend in well enough
  8. I can say the same about the fire shadow trap i've had since i've bought Ikir. One the of the funniest things i did was clamping it to part of my dogs fur and see her trying to get it off her hairs its so fun, i also fiddle it into trying to capture my fingers with its leg claws.
  9. Felt like this didn't need a thread. But out of the 2 swarm building armies do you guys and girls prefer, Skull Spiders or Shadow Traps? Skull Spider pros and cons Very menacing. Can be attached to any face as a infected mask. Have good intelligence. Have 3 available main body colors Cons Their top portions makes them prone to falling over on display. Not very customizable Shadow Traps Useful for mocing because of most parts They are far more customizable Cons Only posess one eye by default Not as smart (the spiders have good individual intelligence and have a hive-mind connection to the golden mask
  10. Ah yes the illustrius Mohtrek, mask of Time Duplication Still seems like a risky power, if you lose control, all versions of you will be dead. Heres the full details from BioSector 01
  11. Nice model, kinda looks like it as inspired by the xenomorph from the aliens films, most notably the tail (am i right?)
  12. Perhaps it could be a way to slow down a specific enemy instead of just affecting everything at once. Time Travel is another possible power, but that means it would be too similar and close to what G1 Kanohi Olmak could do with alternate dimensions.
  13. Nope those are fiber optic cables, they were used in the more expensive lego technic sets back in 1995-1997 if i remember correctly. they are thin translucent cables that are connected to a battery unit which uses a red led light. its in fact very similar to what exo-force used but these cables are a lot thinner. Still its the first time in years i've seen them used in a moc here on bper ever since i joined bzpower. Thumbs up for finding a good use for them.
  14. Still i just wonder why Ekimu wants the Mask of Control destroyed. Maybe makuta deserves a chance to redeem himself despite all he's done after his personality changed after using the mask of ultimate power. This G2 Makuta hasn't reallly killed anyone unlike G1 Teridax who is a scheming mass murdering megalomania guy
  15. On one side of the coin it's simplified so kids can enjoy it. However the opposite is for us adults, we mostly see G2 as lacking compared G1 because simplified stories can seem like it fools us into feeling like there isnt as much for us to enjoy. However perhaps we are expecting too much and with too many expectations at once compared to G1. They had slowly released compared comics in their most of their runs but they had a good bit of detail often explained much later with GregF questions instead of direct explanations in the comics. Personally G2 does make make me feel like it has went too fast without slowing down at least once in a while to make deeper explanations about the mythology.
  16. And if it was in ccbs, it would probably have to be really big perhaps bigger than the Axalara T9, just to even fit a single Protector size Ekimu as a pilot.
  17. Still even if it has a 2016 as a year late year for a recent update. I wonder why so many parts such as weapons and parts from bionicle G1 (including a lot of masks heads and weapons 2002-2006 have still never been releases to this day.) I mean the program is practically a virtual catalog/building playground and yet so much is not available?
  18. Its been a while since i last used ldd but today it asked me to install patch version 4.9.3, which i have never had since last year. does anyoone know when this patch was released and if any new pieces were added? EDIT: i've seen the new 2016 toa eyestalk (short version but no head for it) and skull villain bone limb piece have been added, but havent spotted anything else
  19. If you havent seen it yet, then beware of spoilers
  20. Personally for me its a tie between Tahu and Kopaka. Both are evenly solid builds but Kopaka edges out for me since he was my first character i ever bought in G1.
  21. I for one like the way the show has been designed. It's got a lot of humour like a competiuve characteristics amongst the team and the voices turned out to be bettter than expected. Also if the prologue episode is watched, i concluded that Ekimu gave them their new armour, not just a reward for reclaiming his mask and stopping Kulta last year, but also possibly to be able to have better capacity control over the increased ammount of elemental energy withut being overwhelmed by it. Overall i like this better than the original mask of light movie G1 started with.
  22. Just a few rules for the poll, which is intended for fun. Respect all BZPower Guideline Rules. One choice in the Poll, choose carefully. Try to give reasonable opinions for the Toa you chose, and wish to give a detailed answer for your choice. Lastly have, fun.
  23. Im surprised no one has commented on a fine revamp like this. It is a great improvement and still recognisable since you used the 1999 head he came with. alslo see you used exoforce robot limbs for finger to replicate the throwing arms but like on the original they dont seem to provide any decent grip. Have you considered using any silver hero factory fists and have millennia ride the bike by grabbing the rods on the ends of the handle?
  24. Lewa's arm posability is actually quite good, but to understand it, it's best not to think of it like other arm builds. LDD is also not good for visualization (since the Vorox armor is much more rigid in LDD than in real life and most poses involve angling his arms along multiple axes at once), so if you have any Vorox armor from G1 it can be helpful to build a physical mock-up. In particular, the Vorox armor should not actually be facing straight to the sides in all poses. Rather, it ends up angled back (the extent of this varies depending on the pose, but it rarely faces a full 90° to the side). With the upper arms positioned as such, the lower arms can bend forward and back fairly freely, since the lowest point of the Vorox armor essentially ends up behind the joint. The lower arm shells similarly should be angled back—the crystal add-ons work best as elbow pads rather than covering the sides of his arms. This is something that surprised me when I got the set, since I had intended to rotate the lower arm shells to give his arms more motion but realized that the way the set has them built gives him some arm protection that is well-suited to his dual-sided weapons. Also, because of how his arms are built, his arms can't be raised from his sides to a vertical angle like you can on most figures—rather, you have to swing his arms forward as you raise them. Believe it or not, that's actually slightly more realistic in terms of motion—try raising your own arms with them angled straight from your sides and you'll find that it's very difficult to get them much farther than a horizontal 90° angle! Thing is, even at a 90 degree angle they still look very odd. The shoulders just look terrible when he's not pointing his arms downwards due to them jutting upwards as a result of the irregular shoulder connection. So yeah the articulation is generally okay but due to the way the shoulders are connected it can look very strange and awkward at times. In other words, the entire arm looks very thin because the socket makes them jut too much outward from the body and shoulder balls
