bioniclepluslotr Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I'm pretty sure the Av-Matoran and Agori basically shared the same build. Heck, they even shared the same container. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotcom Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I'm pretty sure the Av-Matoran and Agori basically shared the same build. Heck, they even shared the same container.They did all share the same basic build, although Zesk flipped it around a little and both Radiak and Tarduk were also kinda weird. They're not all that different, no. (canisters aren't really that big a factor though. i mean. the stars and the first 3 hero factory waves all shared a canister, too) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Inika Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 The Av-Matoran. They're so far the only sets to actually disappoint me upon first purchase (Solek in particular). They manage to be worse than the Shadow Matoran because at least they had melded masks, and I overall found the aesthetic appeal of the Shadow Matoran to be much stronger, plus they had Radiak. I was fine with the Agori, in part because I was used to it by then, but also because they had more diversity between sets. The Stars were more of the same; I'd rank them equal to the Agori considering their price. 2 "You are an absolute in these uncertain times. Your past is forgotten, and your future is an empty book.

Sir Kohran Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Far and away, the bohrok va. They're cute and all, but as official sets, even in those early days, bad lego, bad. Didn't stop me from buy all 6 though. Curse you childhood me!We're't they the first sets to have ball joint necks? I love the Va - what didn't you like about them? I know it might not mean much to anyone who joined after the early years, but the Va's plentiful supply of Matoran feet in six main colours was very helpful when building Matoran. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldero Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Lblis, I found the trainer of the Toa Mata to be the best of the 07 titans. He didn't look tubby like Karzaani, or as colortastic as Maxilos, and he wasn't a walking mouth like Gadunka. His looks give him that "I'm going to take you out cleanly and efficiently" feel. Far and away, the bohrok va. They're cute and all, but as official sets, even in those early days, bad lego, bad. Didn't stop me from buy all 6 though. Curse you childhood me! All the voyatoran were stumpy. I would agree with all of you. Salvus, Hydraxon certainly is a great Titan. Very consistent build and shape, and was a pretty cool and solid set. Also, the Voyatoran are a bit stumpy and weren't the best builds. The Bohrok Va are pretty bad. I would have to agree with you, Spirion. < -< =<o>= >- > Ha!

Master Inika Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 What I don't like about that Mukau image is that, if you actually built it, the eyes would be much more prone to falling out.

Klak Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Kongu Inika was fun to play with, but what really disapointed me was how his joints started to crack a few years after his purchase. To me, the two Hordika I owned were a bit awkwardly designed. Still, I didn't find them to be bad. Squid launchers were a pain to use since they often didn't actually fly out of the piece.

Saint-14 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Hmmm... I'd have to say the play sets from 2005/2007 (2006 not included). They each had some redeeming qualities, but were overall unimaginative, in my opinion. The 2005 figures were like board game pieces, and the 2007 figures were all simple rehashes with no individuality. The sets from 2006 are exempt from here because they were a good step up from the 2005 ones, plus were well integrated into to the storyline BZPRPG: Akamu, Toa of Ice Talk to me about Destiny!

Danska: Shadow Master Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I never liked the playsets much, either. I think my main problem was the attempt at minifigs. The 2006 ones were a bit better, but yeah, felt more like they belonged in a board game than a lego set. Other sets I don't like. Um, off the top of my head, Kongu Mahri? Not necessarily a bad design, I just really didn't think it suited him at all. The mask was quite cool, though (again, going only by memory). Click on them to build them yourself!

CyclonatorZ Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) You're all wrong. The objectively worst set (and by objectively I mean, why in the name of Gorganzola has it apparently not been posted yet) is Duracell Bad Guy. Haven't heard of him? Well, just search for him on Brickset, and you'll know why I say this with such certainty. That also goes for any other Bionicle set with the words "Bad Guy" in its name.

Jobber Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I really hated the Agori. Albeit, they were better color-scheme-wise compared to the Av-Matoran, but they just looked pretty bad.Cendox V1 imo, is probably the worst Bionicle set. The swiveling ski idea was pretty neat, but I just felt pretty ripped off after buying it. It offers nothing special, and just feels like a cash-grab.

Latrodectus Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Gadunka was weird, head was too big and what was with those teeth and skinny limbs. But it's fun saying Gadunka (Gadunka). Umbra had a horrific "colour scheme". There was something off about Icarax's proportions... and that's pretty much it. I think most of the other sets were pretty good, no glaring flaws like these ones.Gadunka's one of my favorite titans. Creative build, intimidating design, and a really durable and posable set that's loads of fun to play with. Only problem is that it's very, very gappy.

RahiSpeak Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Other than the STARS, which were undisputabley the worst, my least favorite sets would have to be the Toa Inika, none in particular, but I think Nuparu was the best of the mix. I dislike the uselessness of both the masks and heads. They were also a little underwhelming, in stature and in design of new pieces. While the swords were interesting in the way they lit up, they didn't blend well with other BIONICLE pieces. The sets themselves were also disappointing in that, unlike previous years, the pieces were not condusive to building other models with.
