Iruini Nuva Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Click to zoom Cracked open 15 Bohrok Awake packs tonight, figured you all might enjoy a glimpse of the spoils. The cards in the sleeves are preexisting from back when I got them in 2002 (and have a bit more play wear to show for it). Between them all, looks like I have a full set except Tahu, Exo-Kopaka, and Lewa. Gonna have to find some more packs. I've also noticed some funny production bugs. One of the Pohatus and I believe Kopaka have a much darker stripe of foil ink running through the image. Looks like a printer thing. 8 Quote Makuta: Consumed By Light • Rebrick Entry • Topic & Backstory • Blog ----------------- 2015 Sets: 18/18 + 3 • Polybags: 1/2 • SDCC x2, NYCC Clear MoF, Trans-MoF 2016 Sets: 17/17 + 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyce Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I've got Tahu and Pohatu, but I ended up losing all my other cards.

Toa of Ice - 1987 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) I've no idea what I am looking at, but I am jealous.It's basically the same as a 2 player action and trading card game. Think of example games like "Magic: The Gathering" but in this case it is heavily simplified for kids to understand and play.

Ta-metru_defender Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Oooo. Cards and pretty pictures. Quote You and I we're here together now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emily Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Ooooh, nice! I have copies of most of the cards kicking around somewhere, but I didn't have the fun of getting them from actual packs - save for the single pack I got back in 2002. I need to get some card sleeves like those you've got - much nicer than keeping the cards stacked and stowed away in a closet.

Tahu3.0 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Yep this card game should have official tournaments on Brick Fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iruini Nuva Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) I've no idea what I am looking at, but I am jealous. All you young folks missed out on some good stuff. This was the second Bionicle TCG that Lego made (after Quest for the Masks). Card packs came with the short-lived Mighty Kids Meals at McDonald's, haha. Oooo. Cards and pretty pictures. So pretty. Really love little items like this from the early years. The art was so great. Would much rather have more of these as supporting media than an app, ha. Ooooh, nice!

I need to get some card sleeves like those you've got - much nicer than keeping the cards stacked and stowed away in a closet. Yeah, I think I only got 2 packs back in 2002. Found this batch on eBay, ha. And yeah, the card sleeves are great! These cards feel a bit thinner than other TCGs (granted, McD prize), so they show wear a bit faster. Definitely recommend sleeves to keep them shiny. Yep this card game should have official tournaments on Brick Fair. That would be amazing. My understanding of the mechanics in this game are that it's pretty straightforward and since there are only 30 cards, deckbuilding is pretty limited. Mostly comes down to draw and your ability to play probabilities with your Toa. Would love to see a QftM tournament too. Way more cards there to play with.

Never actually played the game, but I loved collecting the cards. Quote The Return Review All Bionicle Legacies Stories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Takumo~ Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Oh, I remember these. Man, that nostalgia hit slow but forcefully. I loved the design of them when I was younger. I remember trying to draw the masks with pen and paper, using the cards as a guide. Nuva kanohi were never easy to draw. Quote Remembering the OACP. Back in my day, we created amazing wondrous fictions within the Bionicle Universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Ha! I remember getting those when I was in the USA back in 2002. Brought back some sweet memories. Thanks. -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
