Nescent

I've had it dozens of times. In fact, it was happening so frequently, that I managed to use it a couple times to trigger lucid dreams. I'd see Bionicle on the shelves, think "wait a second...this dream again!" and become aware that I was dreaming.

Mine are exactly like you describe, just shopping in my dream and finding loads of old Bionicle sets on the shelves, usually on clearance. I remember seeing all the Toa Mata for a couple bucks each, the Bohrok, Rahkshi, etc., etc. I truly believe that going to the store and looking at the Bionicle sets there was one of the most intoxicating things of my life. Boy do I miss that!

Been playing through The Talos Principle II.

I always liked Axonn the most, but of course it's impossible to really choose from so many sets. Axonn just has a special nostalgia for me.

I have been playing the 2016 Tomb Raider. Next on my list is Diablo II Resurrected.

Anyone else looking forward to Starfield? Also excited for The Talos Principle 2. Other games I'd like to play include:

- Dead Space Remake

- Diablo 4

- Baldur's Gate 3

Simply not enough time!

Cup of coffee to start the day, then it's water till the next morning. I occasionally indulge myself with a La Croix, but I don't like to drink them too frequently. Their blackberry sparkling water is my favorite.

"Anno Domini" by Riverside.

Been listening to "Your Wilderness" by The Pineapple Thief.

"Unity" by Ganja White Night.

"Existential Reckoning" by Puscifer.

Been playing Devin Townsend's "Lightwork" on repeat.

I unfortunately don't have any 3D printed parts to participate, but I just wanted to say this is an awesome idea for a contest! The 3D prints have brought a lot of fresh material to Bionicle, and the above MoCs are great examples of that. The intricate design on that orange chestplate is really cool, tourmalinex.

There are a couple tracks from Within Temptation that I love. I've listened to "Mother Earth" many, many times.

The only metal I really listen to is an album here and there that gets recommended to me, but they comprise some of my favorite music.

I love TOOL, I've listened to Fear Inoculum more times than I can count and most of their older music too. Also saw them in concert. Also "In Cauda Venenum" by Opeth, and Moonspell's first couple of albums.

Nightwish and Rhapsody of Fire are great but I don't listen to them too much anymore.

Today I started listening to "Empath," the album by Devin Townsend. It's great.

Been enjoying Frostpunk. I just got a 3060ti and WOW it's nice to play with some good graphics.

Wow! This is a great idea, and you've done a good job with it so far. What a cool way to breathe some fresh life into the old Bionicle.

The Sims 4.

Mine are disassembled and stored haphazardly in the shed. I'm hoping my children will take to them when they are older, but even if they don't, I doubt I'll ever have the heart to sell them.

"Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd.

When I find the time to game, I have been playing Spiritfarer. It's really fun, and has a very original structure and pace. I also happen to love both base-builder and ocean-exploring games, and Spiritfarer satisfies both game styles.

I found out when Ehlek's elbow broke the first time I built him straight out of the canister. So, 2007.

Hades. Trying to 100% the achievements.

It looks like gunmetal/dark metallic grey, the same piece used in Hewkii Inika. Not a misprint.

My very first set was 2001 Tahu Mata. I can clearly remember taking him apart and seeing what I could build with the parts.

My family left the country in '04 so I was not able to continue collecting the sets during the Metru era. But immediately when we came back to the States, I started buying them again, and my first set was 2006 Hewkii Inika.

Both sets have a special place in my heart as my first Bionicle sets.

It's a Barraki car. Unbelievable. Excellent MOC!

The only things that physically make my collection unique are a misprint Tridax Pod that came with Hero Factory's Von Nebula (the parts in my set were clear plastic instead of black), and my signed Lord of Skull Spiders box from The Battle of the Gold Masks.

Sentimentally, however, my collection feels special to me because it was a growing part of me that I carried for so many years of my childhood and even young adulthood. Right now I have all my parts haphazardly stored in the trunk of my car since there's no space in the house, even though I haven't touched them in many years and may never have time for them again. I guess what makes my collection special is the many, many memories that are stored in it.

Here is a picture of the McDonald's happy meal box I had mentioned earlier. 

"Skate over to mcdonalds.com for cool snowball throwing action" I wonder if there was a unique Happy Meal Online Game I never heard of? It sounds intense.
