its crazy how much they just thought "we'll do this later"
are those books still expensive?
No idea, but you can find scans of World and most other Bionicle guidebooks on Biomedia Project.

oh wow didn't know that!
(was it in greg discussion?)
It was established in the Bionicle: World guidebook that the Kanohi Nuva were made on the island of Artakha and were "delivered anonymously" to where they were needed. I believe Greg later added some further detail on this in Q&As.

but you could still find them with the mask of x-ray vision?
so did they just appear? I thought they were hidden as a upgrade ready to be found when the toa evolved?
After the Toa Mata became the Nuva, Artakha created the other 30 Kanohi Nuva and teleported them to the island.
-
Only the Toa Nuva can access the greater powers of the Kanohi Nuva (I'm not sure whether regular Toa can still use them as Great Kanohi, but they definitely can't access the Nuva level of power in them).
Plus, the Kanohi Nuva didn't exist (or at least weren't on Mata Nui) until the Toa Mata were transformed into the Toa Nuva anyway, so a bit of a moot point.

They're prototype Glatorian helmets (specifically Strakk's and Tarix's). I have a variant of that prototype Strakk helmet with a different distribution of the 2 colors. Haven't seen the Tarix one before but I'm almost certain it's also a prototype.

Hahli was likely chosen to become one of the Toa Inika because she was more widely known due to her significant presence in the Mask of Light movie. Similarly, Nuparu was likely chosen over Onepu due to Nuparu having had more of a presence in story material post-2001 (particularly in the Bohrok animations).

I really love this initiative. I've wanted to have a nice collection of all Bionicle media, and this was exactly what I was hoping to see created. Something that I had been wanting to do was to have these turned into something tangible for my own collection, so I used the first book as a test, here is the result:
I think it turned out real nice! It's a very nice 8.5x11 size and really looks pretty good in hand. Please note that this is of course strictly for my own collection and I am in no way selling or distributing this. Just wanted to showcase how it looks in hand.
Oh wow, that looks fantastic! It's amazing to see this compilation in physical form; I want to have a copy made for myself eventually.
I do have plans to eventually make a reformatted version optimized for printing (with page gutters, resized page dimensions more common for books, etc), but it might be a long while before I have that completed, and the copy you've printed looks great using the current release!
If/when you print copies of the rest of the volumes, please continue to share pictures!

Greg has kind of answered this: https://greg.thegreatarchives.com/2008-2010/page306#post12237-line1-9
From his description, it sounds like the inside of each dome is lined with many, many lightstones, which glow brightly enough during the day to create the illusion of an evenly bright sky, and during the night fade to a soft glow so they resemble stars.
As for the sundial, it was made by the Great Beings and wasn't actually meant to be used to tell the time - it was for pointing the way to the Codrex (presumably there to aid the Toa Mata in their mission when/if Mata Nui went offline).

How does your Rahaga remover tool work? I think my success rate for removing the second liftarm has been no higher than 5%, I always give up and my Rahkshi/Rahaga head part compartment is littered with heads still attached to that liftarm.
Sorry for taking so long to answer this! Had to dig out the right pieces and reconstruct it from memory (if I still have the old one I used to use, I don't recall where it is).
Hopefully these photos explain it clearly enough, but let me know if you have questions!

@TuragaNuva so this does have the comics, bionicle chronicles, bionicle adventures, bionicle legends, and BIONICLE Young Readers, right?
This collection contains all of Chronicles, Adventures, Legends, and the Young Reader books, and all of the comic content that isn't redundant to the books (the comic pages that show events already included in the text are left out).
It also includes all of the web serials and podcasts, as well as some extra story material from guidebooks (e.g. Makuta's Diary from Makuta's Guide to the Universe).
Let me know if you have any other questions!
-
I never found the Rahkshi heads too bad (you can always push an axle through the hole in the top). The Mata eyestalks are tough, but I've found that a butter knife works great for removing them.
The worst, in my opinion, is removing the second liftarm from inside the Rahaga heads. I ended up building a tool specifically for that, and even then it's tricky.

The Toa Metru brought all the masks they could with them from Metru Nui to Mata Nui, and hid them across the island - those are the masks that the Toa Mata later searched for.
Artakha did create the additional 30 Kanohi Nuva and teleport them to the island of Mata Nui (though I'm not sure why he hid them...), though he didn't make them from existing masks.

I noticed a small typo on the back cover of Book 10: “killed” is written as “kiled”
Ah, thanks. I had to re-create the covers at the last minute because of a resolution issue and I must have mistyped that in my haste. Thankfully Book 10 only has one version to fix. I'll push an update up shortly (won't require an updated download link)
EDIT: Fix is now uploaded for both the individual Book 10 download and the ZIP. Let me know if you still see the issue, or if you find any more!

Been a long time, but I just made some small revisions to this story based on feedback. Call it a little 810NICLE Day celebration.
Thanks to everyone that shared kind words back when I first posted this.

It's a Kakama. Gali, Kopaka, and Lewa's masks are shown behind Wairuha, and Tahu, Onua, and Pohatu's masks are shown behind Akamai.
It does look a bit different from the real Kakama, but it's in-line with how D'Anda typically drew it (with some detail removed, just like on the other background masks in this scene).

I believe the "7 Books of BIONICLE" were mostly in Bob Thompson's head, and everyone else only knew what was coming up next. Because of that, we don't know a lot about those original long-term plans.
However, Bob Thompson will be appearing on the Bionicle Day stream on the Beaverhouse Twitch channel and answering questions (though the cutoff for questions has already passed), so hopefully we'll finally get some insight into the ideas that he never shared.
-
Yeah, those are just Hahli Inika's legs, nothing unusual about them.
The variance in the amount of each color is typical for dual-injected parts.

They also used zamors to drain brutakas power right
Yes. The one used to drain Butaka's power was a special one created by Hakann. The regular Antidermis zamors actually increased Brutaka's power.

Hi! Hope I'm not being a pain; but I've noticed a small discrepancy regarding the Le-Koro section of Book #1. In game, there were two versions of the linked MNOG cutscenes "Into the Great Hive" and "Onua Vs. Lewa"; one version that included Taipu, if the player had earlier allowed him to accompany them into Le-Wahi (with him getting zapped by a lightning bug in the former cutscene, and riding on Onua's head during the escape from the nest in the latter), and an alternate version without him for if the player told him to remain at the dig site.
I noticed, however, that while the walkthrough text in the book describes the first scenario, where Taipu is present, the cutscenes found via the media links don't match; they are instead the versions where he is absent.
I dunno, this might be too tiny a point to do anything about. But I saw in the first post that you wanted to know if any discrepancies were found, so I thought I ought to let you know ^^
Thanks so much for pointing this out to me! I had no idea that cutscenes varied based on whether Taipu was with you. I've added it to the list of fixes needed.

The Zamor spheres used by the Piraka were filled with Antidermis, and were used to enslave the inhabitants of Voya Nui. The ones used by the Inika were filled with Energized Protodermis, and were used to free the Matoran from the Piraka's control. The Piraka and Axonn also created some other Zamor with special powers, and there were a few other beings with Zamor launchers whose Zamor had different effects.

I believe they're currently working out the details for the Hagah contest over on the TTV boards.

Biological Chronicle: The Complete Bionicle Collection
in Bionicle Discussion
Posted
There are a lot of comics included in this compilation - the only ones excluded are those that cover the exact same thing as part of one of the books. There are also links throughout the compilation to clips from the movies, placed at the beginning of the chapter (or portion thereof) that they correspond to.
As for G2 - I'm of the opinion that a project like this is less needed for that, since there isn't as much story material for it, and what does exist is pretty easy to just go through one by one in order. Not saying it would have no use at all, but it's just not something I'm interested in devoting my time to.
Hero Factory I honestly don't know much about the story of, so that would be best left to someone else.
