Hapori Tohu Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Remember this past summer when lots of Bionicle movie memorabilia was listed on eBay? The seller of those items, iCollect-Online, is at it again with over 60 more original storyboard pages from Bionicle 2: Legends of Metru Nui, a VHS demo tape, and a poster signed by the directors, producer, and one of the character designers. The storyboard pages are available to buy for less than $15 each, while the poster carries a heftier price of $124.95. Follow the link above to check out the listings!

Rooster Nui Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I may consider buying a VHS demo, even though I'll have no use for it but to be a part of my Bionicle merchandise. The poster is nice, but way too expensive, and the story board pages don't interest me. It's a nice find, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ta-metru_defender Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I dig the storyboards, but ~$15 a pop is a little steep for them.

TheSkeletonMan939 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I like how "Director" is in quotes on the poster. I wonder if that demo tape has any interesting material before or after the film... if so, whoever buys it better has a means of converting it to a digital file.

Wazdakka Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 These storyboards are so crude, I just don't see what the appeal is. Quote Steam Name: Toa Hahli Mahri. Xbox Live Gamertag: Makuta.

Ta-metru_defender Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 These storyboards are so crude, I just don't see what the appeal is. Storyboards are usually crude with just enough detail to discern character, action, and framing. 2 Quote Hand-drawn, bespoke avatar by none other than Mushy the Mushroom. a body adrift in water, salt, and sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSkeletonMan939 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 These storyboards are so crude, I just don't see what the appeal is. When you have to draw one for every single shot, you don't really have time to make it look pretty. I guess the appeal comes from owning a piece of Bionicle history... something that was actually used to shape the film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Smoke Monster Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 While it would be cool to have some of these, I think I'll pass on them. They just don't interest me enough to get them.

I've been saving them as well. I was saving them by the QX number, but I renamed them based on the numbers in the corner in a #-#-# format that puts the pages in such an order that some full scenes have come together, and I really like seeing that.

Rahkshi Lalonde Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 These storyboards are so crude, I just don't see what the appeal is. the faces in the storyboards, crude as they may be, are gold, so much expression is caught with those vaguely nightmarish, fleshy features that the final robotic looks can sort of lack u: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't crop them, though, so you'll have to do that if you want. Just save them all and upload them somewhere... I don't think I intend to crop them at all, so that won't be an issue.

Toa of the Blazing Inferno Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I'm tempted to put them on Flickr in their own album, so I can keep adding to it and rearranging it as needed. I just want to make sure there's nothing wrong with my doing that before I do it.

TheSkeletonMan939 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Thanks! Is that all of them from both rounds of eBay auctions (summer and now)? As for legality... no idea, but if it's illegal, literally no one will care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa of the Blazing Inferno Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I thought there were three rounds, and yes, that is every single one of them.

Toa of the Blazing Inferno Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I recently discovered that the images weren't auto-arranging correctly according to the numbers in the names, so I made each second and third number three digits long, before any letters, by adding one or two zeroes at the beginning. I chose three digits because that's the longest that the number in either of those places gets, and I didn't have to do it to the first number because that one was only ever one digit. That seems to have fixed the problem, so everything should be in the correct order now.

Saint-14 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Quick note from somebody who got one during the summer: they are bigger than they seem, and are all the original pencil and pen marks, which is really cool Also they look great framed *sunglasses emoji* Quote BZPRPG: Akamu, Toa of Ice Talk to me about Destiny!
