As you can probably tell, I want to get both Legendary Masks in gold. The only problem is, BrickLink and eBay don't have any golden Ignikas, and the Vahis on BrickLink are all from the US. So basically, if you live in Europe and have a Dark Gold Vahi and/or a Gold Ignika, then I'd like to buy them. I would offer a trade, but none of my Kanohi are on the same scale of rarity as the two which I'm asking for. I'd prefer to get both masks from the same person to cut down on shipping costs than from two different people. [Edit]: I've got a Vahi sorted, so all I'm looking for now is an Ignika. [Another Edit]: I have become slightly desperate! I'll now take an Ignika from anywhere!

As we all know, Kanohi masks are made from a Kanoka disc of the same power, or a combination of discs. For example, a disk of levitation can be used to create a Miru. Other than the usual powers, kanoka can be infused with elemental powers to create Toa Discs like the one Vakama comes with in his set form. The only elementally-powered Kanohi we know of are the Kraahkan (mask of shadow), the Avohkii (mask of light) and the Garai (mask of gravity). Now my question is: can these Toa Discs be used to create Kanohi with elemental powers?

I've been thinking lately about something that many BIONICLE fans and non-fans alike recognize as part of the theme: its collectible nature. More specifically, the masks, the brains, the slugs, even the disks and spinners many love... or hate. So I come to you with a question. With the possibility of a revived BIONICLE brand on the horizon, what are your thoughts on a true return to form with the revitalization of the beloved collectibles? Do you want to see them back and how prevalent? Or do you never want to suffer the horror of torn boxes and disappointing pulls ever again? Personally, I remain somewhat undecided. I certainly enjoy having a bunch of masks and see the appeal of it, but definitely have some concerns. Primarily over what efforts could be made to prevent a repeat of theft that seemed to plague the mask packs and possible poor distribution of certain items, making them harder to find. Or just simply the struggle of trying to collect them all. But I'm just one person, and that's why I'm here - to see what everyone else thinks. Could it work in today's market? How could it best be accomplished? Please, do share your thoughts. ~|ET|~

Hey guys, For a while I've been procrastinating this project, but now I've decided to continue and even improve it! Because of a lack of time, space and money, instead of collecting Bionicle sets, I have decided to start collecting the basic toa mata, turaga and toa nuva kanohi. The original plan was to mount them on the wall in 3 frames, but now I have decided I am going to add the heads and some lights behind the masks so their eyes can light up as well. Here is a video I made about the project: http://youtu.be/DjDqyKwvSzU I think I will use the site Bricklink to buy the pieces I need, because they sell most of the parts at <5 cents. Can you please help me with the head and eye colours? This is what I remember, please correct me if I'm wrong: Red - Light grey head, orange eyes Brown - Brown head, orange eyes Black - Dark grey head, yellow eyes White - Light grey head, blue eyes Blue - Blue head, yellow eyes Green - light grey head, red eyes Are the head and eye colour the same for all bionicle of the same element? (e.g. Do Pohatu, Onewa and Pohatu Nuva share the same colour of head and eyes behind their masks?) Thanks for your help and I will keep you updated on my progress

I am currently looking to complete at least a great 2001 mask collection. Here is a list of the things that I need to do so: HAU: Green, Black, Blue, Brown, Silver, Gold, Black/Brown mix, Chrome KAKAMA: Brown, Black, Blue, Green, White, Red, Silver, Gold PAKARI: Brown, Green, White, Red, Silver, Gold KAUKAU (Transparent): Clear, Light Blue, Yellow, MIRU: Green, Brown, Blue, Red, Black, White, Silver, Gold, Teal, Trans-Neon Green AKAKU: Green, Brown, Blue, Red, Black, White, Silver, Gold If you own any of the masks listed and are willing to trade/sell them, please tell me either in the comments or via PM, and I will see if we can work out a deal. I am willing to pay up to $1 per mask, depending on the rarity, the Light Blue and Yellow Kaukaus are misprints, and I will pay $10 per mask. I buy internationally, but I prefer to buy from those living in Europe and America, because since I have access to a military base in Italy, I have the regular shipping costs for both Europe and America.

Here a have a small collection of items which I have no need for. I would be glad to trade (preferably trade) or sell them. Everything is in mint condition. I am looking something special in return for the pitch black Skrall shield as it's a pretty hard to find misprint/prototype. Thanks, Dan. I'm based in the UK.

As you guys may have known for a while 3D printing is becoming more well known and popular. I have no access to one, nor even the software to use in conjunction with the printer...nor even the knowledge to use said software despite taking a course in CAD =.= But still I would like to share my opinion on 3D printing with reference to LEGO: MOCers can create custom parts which are impossible to acquire from LEGO(E.G Movie version Avohkii, Kraahkhan, Ackar's old blade, all of which I really, REALLY WANT) Such little things like custom kanohi and weapons I believe will help keep the Bionicle fanbase going strong, and even encourage creativity amongst those who use it. But due to its nature of use, counterfeit LEGO bits can easily be produced using 3D printers and sold off to unknowing people hoping to get LEGO pieces. LEGO fans might even just go on to producing their own parts instead of buying from LEGO. What do you think of 3D printing and what does it mean for LEGO? Oh and can someone make a Movie Avohkii for me using 3D printing? Seriously though, that'd be AWESOME!

My favorite is the Kanohi Matatu, because it can not only move objects but also break them apart.

So decided to pop off to Legoland Windsor, again, but this time brought along Tahu! During the shoot he definitely got a few heads turning!

Greetings, BZPers. I see the (relatively) new forums are still painfully low on official threads, which however relieves me, as I can simply ask away what's on my mind. Now, I was curious about several rare Kanohi masks and their origin. I know there are about 4-5 known brown Noble Komau masks, which I'm pretty sure came in the European mask packs, but I wasn't sure about the white Noble Huna? Can anyone enlighten me as to its origin? Also, how valuable are the two gold variations of the Kanohi Kraahkan, and is the lighter one generally rarer? Thanks.

Okay so everyone knows about the golden masks. The Toa Mata collected six masks for each of them, and then placed them into Kini Nui and received new golden masks for themselves that had all the powers of their original six, with stronger abilities and such. All this happened right before they descended into Makuta's lair. Yet some things about those golden Kanohi have me wondering. When they formed Toa Kaita, the masks the Kaita had were the combination of the original masks it's Toa counterparts wore. But each Toa was wearing a mask with 6 powers, wouldn't the Kaita just have a boosted version of the Golden mask? And also, even though all the golden masks have the same abilities it appears that their properties are dependent on their shape. When each of the Toa got theirs, they (conveniently) got golden masks that were in the exact shape as the mask they originally had. That probably was because of the sets and so you can tell who from who, but still... also, when they become Toa Nuva, they're wearing their golden masks, but when exposed to EP the masks change into a Nuva version having the power of the mask they're shaped as. I don't know, I just found that odd, story wise. Yes I know it's because of the sets, and it made the Toa have to collect more masks, and etc, but there must be a written code into the golden kanohi that even though it has a bunch of powers, Tahu's think's it's a Hau, so when exposed to EP it changes into a Hau Nuva, no extra abilities. Or something like that haha... what do you guys thing?

Do you have any other alternative names for Kanohi which still describe the powers in a different way? So far, I've thought of three: the mask of Might, instead of Strength, Velocity instead of Speed, and then Vitality instead of Life. Do you have any others? -Makuta Miras

So I'm a huge Hydraxon fan, and I was so pumped when I saw that both he and Maxilos came with new "kanohi". Or so I thought. I was so eager to read about them in the comics/books, etc and find out what new mask powers that they would have, but then I found out that they weren't Kanohi, but just powerless helmets. So, that left Hydraxon not having any powers at all, but only used weapons to fight (which I admit, is very cool). Yes Maxilos got OP because he got possessed by Makuta, and of course he's only a robot, and it makes sense that he wouldn't have a mask power. But Hydraxon? I was at least hoping that the jailer of the Pit would get a cool mask power, especially when he was given a new "mask" shape for his set. Did anyone else feel this way about those two?

BS01 has the following to say about the Mask of Creation: Arthaka has created many things with this mask, including such wonders as the Toa Nuva's Kanohi and the symbols that host their elemental energy. They have also been given Adaptive Armor, and Arthaka created the Avohkii plus numerous other powerful items, including the universe-fixing Staff of Arthaka. So what are the limits to this power? Can [Product] be anything, provided that protodermis can power it? We know that Arthaka is not very skilled at creating living things, or at least he does not want to do so after his lethal Crystal Serpents failed to be tamed. This suggests that he can create things involving Life, though, which opens the door to all kinds of magic stuff. Could Arthaka in theory create a second Mask of Life? Could he make a few more staffs of apocalyptic power? Could he make a super-duper insta-heal device? I am asking this because I was recently re-reading a webcomic I like, in which the characters come across an ancient "datasphere" from a lost civilization -- a storage device containing vast amounts of data "in a 612-dimensional matrix". One of them looks into it and mentions that it "seems to contain detailed plans for every possible way to build every possible device to destroy every possible thing in all of creation." Of course this was immediately commented upon: "Huh, I can't imagine how their civilization managed to annihilate itself." The point is, it made me think about how this is pretty much what the Mask of Creation does: It presumably allows you to realize a way to build any thing that you could want, provided that the thing is actually possible to build. So Arthaka, the master craftsman, could potentially invent a new device to resurrect beings; because we know there is tech on the Red Star which can accomplish the same. He could invent a "kill Mata Nui" button, because we have seen a virus take him down. He could presumably special-build a robot which could teleport directly to a target and assassinate it. Arthaka himself doesn't do this, either because he's not a fan of destruction or because it would break the story, but in theory he could do this, right? Note that I am disregarding the need for raw materials here. I am certain that giant builds couldn't be materialized out of nowhere, even if the mask can create actual objects to an extent. Still a powerful ability to have, if you would essentially have the ability to think "I want a giant bomb" and then soon after have the plans to create the BIONICLE-equivalent of nukes.

Hey guys! I'm in search of some Kanohi and armor pieces that will come in handy for MOCing. I live in the UK and am currently looking for some of the following things in a good condition: Pearl light grey Pearl Gold Ignika (or if it's flat silver that's fine too! Whichever color it comes in really.)Pearl Gold/Metallic Gold/Pearl Dark Grey Kanohi (list the ones you would want to part with)Item no. 64272 in Dark Purple (multiples of 2 or 3)Item no. 61796Dark Grey/Pearl Light Grey/Pearl Dark Grey chainsPearl Gold Hero Factory Engine Item no. 92215 in Pearl GoldItem no. 92216 in Pearl GoldItem no. 87820 in black (multiples of 2)Assorted Flat silver/Pearl Light Grey armorAssorted Bohrok/Bohrok Kal shieldsItem no. 90650 in Dark PurpleKnights' Kingdom armor pieces (show me what you want to get rid of!)I don't really have much to trade, save for a brand new, sealed 6202 Breakout Rocka. So I will be buying the said pieces most likely. If you have any of these things AND LIVE IN THE UK, feel free to drop me a PM to suggest a price. Bear in mind, however, that I am a university student and therefore want to spend as little as possible on these things. I don't really have anything else to say. No stipulation about payment either. Well, that's all I have to say, so thank you for your time, and hope we can help each other out

I've been thinking about getting the Ultimate Dume mask from Bricklink for a project I'm working on, but I realized I didn't know what kind of connection it uses--I figured it should probably have an axle connection, like all the other post-2004 Kanohi, but on the actual set it seems to attach to a Mata-style head. Admittedly not a terrible dilemma, but it will influence what other pieces I order (mostly so I'll have the eye color I want in the style of head I'll need), so If someone could help answer this question I'd appreciate it.

So, I started to get into this digital art stuff, and decided my first attempt would be a Kanohi ! So what do you think ?

A few questions on appearance, and Elemental Kanohi in the MU. 1. I was thinking about the few Elemental Kanohi, the Garai, Kraahkan and Avohkii. I just wondered, surely it's possibly (and in my opinion probable) that there are Kanohi of every Elemental Power? I don't see why not, what do you guys think? I guess certain ones like the Mask of Light and Mask of Shadows have to be special (I know they're unique), but as for Fire, Ice, Stone, Plasma, Plant-Life etc., why not? Do these Elemental powers use different reserves (EE and Kanohi Energy)? So if you're Hewkii Mahri, and you exhaust your EE reserves, could you switch to Gravity powers (although I gotta agree with Bonesiii that the Garai is closer to weight control than Gravity control but CLOSE ENOUGH ), or would you not be able to use the other power? And how awesome would it be to have a Team of 6 Toa with 12 Elemental Powers?! XD IMAGINE THIS PLUS SUVAS O_O GOD-MODE ACTIVATED 2. Related to this: - Elemental Kanohi don't come with Toa exclusives like Nova Blasts and Proto-caging, correct? - An Elemental Kanohi will give you powers equal to a Toa (aside from Toa exclusives), no more, no less, correct? With Psionics, we basically have two powers, but ones that are, in the Bionicle Universe, two sides of the same coin, like Electricity and Magnetism. These powers are Telekinesis and Telepathy. Incidentally, we have two separate Kanohi for these powers. So, I was wondering if they are individually more powerful than the Toa Elemental version. So, if a Toa of Psionics had a Telepath battle with a Toa using a Suletu, the Suletu wearer would win (not counting experience just potential of power reserves/limits, since a Psionics user is likely to be much more experienced), right? Would this be the same for a Telekinetic battle between a Ce-Toa and a Matatu wearer? 3. We have seen that Kanohi tend to be certain shapes, but characters like Norik (maybe Krakua) show that they have the shapes of other Kanohi. I was just thinking that surely this could be used to a tactical advantage. Say you're in a fight, and you have a Mask of Strength shaped like something like a Mask of Water Breathing. Your opponent might think "I don't know for sure what their mask power is but it's almost certainly a Mask of Water breathing because no one ever really bothers with different shaped masks." So they go in for some boxing type fighting, thinking they might have an advantage, at their great, pummeled expense and your victory when you super smash them. So in that kind of way, could shape variations be used to add tactical confusion to combat? I know I used to do this with my MoCs, since i would just use whichever mask looked right and then have whatever power I wanted with the character because I knew it wasn't limited like that. 4. Toa and such could surely paint themselves different colours if they wanted (obviously the Av-Matoran light frequency shifting trick is much more convenient), so in the expanded fiction, couldn't this also be used to tactical advantage: i.e,, disguising yourself as a being of another element, or painting your armour with camouflage patterns if you don't have a Huna handy/want to use a different mask, just to help you a bit if you want to be discrete. I can see the last two questions.points being real points of trolling/confusion in canon, but surely it makes sense and is very possible? I'm ignoring things like "the have to be the right colour so kids buying he sets don't confuse them", I'm just thinking about what's possibru *EDIT (Little side question: Couldn't Artahka, or anyone skilled/powerful enough, make lots of Masks of Shadows and Light?) Tell me whatcha think guys! Cheers ^^ -
In Hero Factory, we mostly only have seen two recolor and they are Crotesius helmet in blue and Hydraxon mask in black, so i like to know of what Bionicle mask you want to see in Hero Factory and in what color. The mask i like to see is the Noble Kakama in black or purple and Gelu Helmet in sand green or dark green.

I made the base for this a while ago, but now I've gotten back to work on it and figured I'd post the progress pictures. I've already made a Hau, but I'm using a slightly different process for this Miru. It started with a paper file from CrunchbiteNuva, then I coated it with fiberglass resin and reinforced it with fiberglass. Now I've coated it with Bondo body filler and sanded it down, I'll add more coats then paint it, with less damage detail than the Hau. Without further ado: and here's a closer look at it, I realized that one coat would be an excellent base for an Infected mask: My garage is a mess right now thanks to some water damage so I'm working on a pizza box on a board, in the driveway. Ta-Metru it ain't. I'll post more pictures as it gets closer to completion.
