Lenny7092 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Hi, guys? As the title says above, have you ever used your Bionicle sets to do other things rather than playing with them? For me, it goes like this: 1. My mom made me use the Barraki as bath toys. 2. I had Melum hug my dog. 3. Used my sets to make good Instragram pics, like having 2016 Kopaka and Melum playing in the snow and make snow angels. So, what about you guys? Quote I like Lego, Bionicle, and Hero Factory!

Taria Pakari Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I take them apart and leave them in a box for like 7 years. Good times. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMSOG Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I used Hahli Mahri and Lesovikk as aquarium decoration for a while. I didn't know about the lime green joints problem until later. I only feel regret. 1 Quote Hi. If you remember me from when I was most active on BZP, from 2009-2011... I know I was cringy. But please keep in mind I was literally 12.

Mr_Jello100 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) I made one into a Horcrux once. In actuality, they function quite well as noise makers. Creak those joints to make the deepest sleeper awake from their slumber! Edited March 26, 2017 by Mr_Jello100 Quote I spent way too much time trying to get that image under the kB limit.

Electric Light Gunhaver Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I've used them to make really basic stop motion animations that I'm not particularly fond of. They're probably lost to time now. Decoration-I'd display them around my bedroom, and still have a few up.

Imnotactive Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Decoration mostly.Once I dropped a piece and used Kaita Akamai Mata to pick it up because my arms were too short. also photography, mainly to show off mocs to others, also for having scenes of them doing stuff. 2 Quote I liked G2.

Pohaturon Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I'm jumping onto the decor bandwagon too, but mine's a tad unconventional. Besides being a Bionicle fan, I'm a massive gamer and have a gaming pc with one side entirely see-through. I've displayed two Rahagas Pouks and Kualus inside the pc, and they're lit by the LEDs (I'm not an RGB freak with all of my components glowing, only the fans and all in uniform blue) which looks really awesome if you ask me. I saves space, too! Also, it wasn't me, but one of my dogs decided Lewa Master of Jungle's golden mask was an honorary chew toy. Luckily my wife saved the mask before it was destroyed, but it has a few bite marks, which I headcanon as battle-scarring. Quote Stone rocks Model Designer at The LEGO Group.

Imnotactive Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Luckily my wife saved the mask before it was destroyed, but it has a few bite marks, which I headcanon as battle-scarring. Whenever a dog chews a mask, or it gets stepped on, I use it as battle damage. if its snapped in half then i use one thats in one piece and then swap with the broken one when they get hit.

Lemony Lepid Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I use them for drawing references. Posable parts are great for that. Quote ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noxryn Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I used to pose them sometimes and take pictures for fun. Otherwise, sometimes I'd use them as drawing references, I'd moc things and make stories out of it (I have a penchant for doing that idk), or I'd build stuff to calm down from bad anxiety attacks in the middle of the night (or any time, really). Last two MOCs I built, both kind of unfinished, were done during potent anxiety attacks and it overall helps me distract myself and calm myself down. So, I guess I mostly use them for therapeutic reasons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaT in Rogue Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Decoration and MOCing mostly. Quote "Whether that is right or not...I also...as a Rider...have a wish that I want to fulfill." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa of Ice - 1987 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) I did use Fenrakk once as a safe spot for a ring i got from my former first girlfriend. I never had a box for it so that's why the inside of Fenrakk's mouth was useful for safekeeping. It's lost now though. And big feet sets like Zaktann/Thok/Avak/Nuparu Mahri or big sets Axonn do make for good paperweights if needed by standing on the paper.

ZOMBI3S Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I had Melum hug my dog.Idk why but I find this hilarious When I was a kid my mom had these decorative floor lamps, with vines carved into them and everything. I'd hang my bionicles from them, like they were desperately trying to make it to the top. It was pretty popular at parties. And by that I mean my mom made me take them down before anyone saw it. 2 Quote REVIEW TOPIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toa Imrukii Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) Bathtoys mostly. Still used as toys though. I mostly played with the Bohrok in the bathtub though. I loved tossing them into the water as hard as I could. Speaking of tossing my toys into things, after discovering the series "The Chronicles of Jaller" I thought I'd be fun to throw my Jaller set against stuff. The wall mostly. As hard as I could. Which BTW is pretty hard. If the lime green ballsocket issue was bad, I gave him an advanced version of that terminal illness. So many broken sockets....

Otos Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 As a child I used to play with them but I was quite violent and broke some. Nowadays I only build and pose them as if they were in a war.

Wiriamu Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Is that Bohrok a bootleg? The colors look off...unless of course you painted it yourself. I did once use the leftovers from Ultimate Dume to make a wearable mask for a class project. Sadly I took it apart and have no idea where the photos I took of it got to.

Okay, I just referenced Bricklink and apparently it's from a Racers set from 2002. That would've bothered me all day. So it is possible to build Nui-Rama with the colors switched.

Sybre Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 My younger brother and I used to do stop-motions for a while. I did about 2 or 3 animations before leaving the hobby behind, but my brother kept going. He'd take the pictures, then ask me to put the animation together for him. We didn't post the animations anywhere (though I posted my favorite one on Facebook); we just did them for fun. Another thing my brother and I would do was gather up our MOCs, go out in the backyard, and set up these cool scenes using scenery and anything artificial. I remember we had our MOCs scrambling across the top of a picnic table in our backyard to climb a rope tied to a branch up above to escape some villains, hang around in a tree, and even had my self-MOC grab a tree branch to steady himself in a wall run as a villain stood at the top of the wall, ready to cut the branch with his sword. We didn't take pictures, mostly because my phone didn't have any room. We admired the scenes in the moment, then moved on to make another scene. I used to just pose my figures and take pictures of them. I had a field day with my Nokama Metru and a rainy day.
