    There are certain factors bionicle never clarified for nuva abilities. how much depth is required before the regular kaukau is at maximum limit.if the hau nuva can withstand attacks for longer without deactivating like it did from a standard fragmentation beam in the movies.how much strength the default pakari grants and also for the nuva. (the nuva version only mentions absolute limit of one's body but is it individualised? but i think it needs better explanation similar to super sayan multiplyers * base power in dragon ball)how fast the kakama nuva can go when running with it.how much physical strength pohatu has and is capable of lifting by himself.if the others can learn similar techniques similar to pohatu's stone bomb trick.

    I wouldnt think Star Wars has caused problems by getting a slice of the ccbs pie. It's just a big brand people of all ages recognize and easy to market. In my opinion G2 just got caught in a case of really bad luck and timing with limited marketing budget.

    This method seems good, will the mask still be required for the this method? and will clear pieces work with them being made of polycarbonate? also how will the ABS solidify once it has become liquid?Best way to pour the molten plastic is something like this but be careful molten abs hardens quickly and how long it stays in liquid form im not sure of. http://www.instructables.com/id/Home-Plastic-Injection-Molding-with-an-Epoxy-Mold/

    How should I go about keeping the toxic fumes away? and what is the best method for melting, I'd prefer if it didn't involve fire If your are ging to try for yourself For safety you need at least shop in hardware stores for thick but flexible gloves. safety goggles dust cover mask to avoid inhaling fumes, always use em. My dad and i frequently use em if we work with sawdust, have to use angle grinders or are mixing cement while working on things on our home property. https://static.grainger.com/rp/s/is/image/Grainger/2KFY4_AS01?$mdmain$ If you want to avoid heat then be careful but this style involves strong solvent chemicals. http://www.mp3car.com/forum/mp3car-technical-hardware/fabrication/107438-how-to-make-liquid-abs-plastic --------- note: necross hordika will will not be responsible for any injury, illness, , damage, expense, cost or other sum or other dangers or liabilities

    Rhotuka Launcher, they're cool but they can fly too far away, had to fetch one of mine off a rooftop once. Best one is 2015 Stud Launcher, easy to reload (and fire) and never falls out easily.

    That was rude. One cancellation is not the cause for such a big layoff. Maybe the story team and company workers had been bloated with people for too long to be cost effective. It was just unfortunate that 2016 just sold poorly because of many factors and rushed story with lack of depth. Maybe a too big team meant too many ideas were going on to make a proper story but we will never know. But the other themes (except Ninjago and Star Wars) could selling poorly as well, not everyone buys expensive big sets.

    Kopaka Phantoka Man those 6 years did not work so well for Kopaka. (original Nuva came out late 2002) Let's face it, a deputy leader of the toa nuva known for his awesome blades in both of his earlier forms and what do we get for him. Well the set barely does him justice because it but is plagued bad decisions. The has no shield which is understandable because you have huge wings getting in the wayKopaka drops a sword option in favor of a puny dagger/bayonet. (Lewa had 2 Air Katana previously he gets a big sabre with the upgrade)The designers also didn't bother keeping the scope on the correct side of his mask like last time andpiraka legs for arms that are constantly knocking his shoulder armor He even has a gunmetal colored inika chest armor which should at least been recolored into the same silver as the wings. I got plenty of issues with the others 2008 toa about what happened to them after their 6 year hiatus in G1 but i dont want to write a essay. In short2015/2016 was way better than 2008.

    Yes Galidor did look very weird compared to other bricks themes at the time. Add in the poor success and the theme fell on its feet and barely lasted longer than a year and half. Even the show itself ended on a bad cliffhanger and it is very unlikely to be brought back. Maybe in brick form but not action figure size

    Well done, he looks exactly like in the movie. I like how you managed to replicate the cape from the films. It makes him seem like a wise sage. Definitely deserves to be Front Page News material.

    What about seeing these characters from star wars in CCBS like those already made Mace Windu Jedi Master Yoda Qui-Gon Jinn Jar Jar Binks Darth Maul Count Dooku Darth Sidious (Episode III version)

    Bravo i knew xxcj would win. The Boba Fett figure is very cute and the Slave I looks quite good. Congratulations to the other finalists as well

    I doubt Lego will let go of it. They are just waiting for the right time to relaunch it after a few years.

    For me i like having the option of buying just the character if im not interested in the vehicle but vezon and fenrakk was one exception where the rahi was good, it was intimidating but a nightmare to pose. Toa Ignika's (2008) personal vehicle was terrible, it wobbled way too much so i scrapped it for spare parts within the first few weeks. The kikanalo creature has a lot of unsightly gaps on it IMO. The worst ones being right under the rahkshi shells that serve as thighs.
  14. Toa of Ice - 1987
    I would've bought lhikan separately. I never cared for the titans when i was younger since they were usually too expensive for my budget, while toa sets were manageable. Besides Kikanalo has a lot of gaps and never had a personality, i may sound harsh but its just a glorified rahi to make Lhikan more expensive.

    I agree with those who claim that he was rushed and they didn't bother having him in the catalogs. I distinctly remember that he was quite rare because of his late release.

    As much as reboots can do wonders, the failure of G2 is still fresh. I'm not sure if i can stand the burden of seeing a G2½ revisit or a G3 or a complete G1 revisit be the next one to be pulled because of bad sales anytime too soon. This franchise aint no Spider-Man so maybe this franchise should just be left in peace before the reputation becomes worse.

    Didn't know where else to put this. Moderators feel free to move if necessary The title pretty much says it, i used to regularly check on Metru Nui Legacy, facebook guy who created and posted the popular G2 Bohrok and has done a lot of amazing G2 related artwork...now he is just gone all of a sudden. His Facebook account has apparently been removed or closed...his youtube page has been inactive since March, notthing on his Twitter account since april either and there's barely any update anywhere on the internet regarding what bionicle stuff he's been working on lately or if he called it quits without any announcements. any news or suggestions ??

    I just going to chime in and leave ya guys with this humor. When you consider whats behind the masks in this universe...none of them look kissable to me and i think that is what the great beings originally had in mind from, their perspective. Careful, or you may not look at your sets the same way twice.

    They do have connections since Aldi is a Scandinavian firm that have many store including Denmark, aka legoland billund headquarters. Maybe these magazines are leftover stock that was unsold from earlier this year.

    You can get him on Amazon but your going to spend $80 something dollars on him. What 80 dollars, for a set thats more like 15-20 dollars worth? 80 is more like paying for the kopaka + melum boxed set or G1 Titans in terms of hard to find vs value

    Gold and white is fine for a Toa of light. But may he should've had golden sockets as fists. 3 pieces of gold wasn't exactly much.
  22. Toa of Ice - 1987
    A game made by Telltale Games going through the entire beginning including how the core war on spherus magna started and so forth in further episodes. they might need to cut corners by not playing as any of the villains. But seeing certain animated events such as the Toa Lhikan's forces vs Dark Hunters fighting over Metru Nui would be spectacular.
  23. Toa of Ice - 1987
    I see your point. I was only trying to keep the weapon as simple as possible and not too bulky.
  24. Toa of Ice - 1987
    It's been quite while since i posted a creation. So i decided to recreate Zaktan in Lego Digital Designer and see how far i could replicate him with no CCBS I would say he is pretty much a good success. There are only 2 pictures so there is no gallery

    I think the cordak blaster is just a waste on him, he looks fine without it if you ask me. He has plenty of other weapons. The matoro hooks are supposed to be used as Exploding Boomerangs, he has his wrist blade thing, and the mahri blades are back mounted spears that he can fire. So effectively he has 3 weapons.
