confused piraka Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I just wanted to assess the population of bzpower. (no poll because they are broken.) also if you are a collector what's you're rarest item? if you're a mocist what's the best creation you've made?

IgnikaTV Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) I am literally non of both. I'm trash at mocing and I don't possess many Bionicle products. I am only a fan because of the story and the cool community. I enjoy hanging around and watching what the fandom is up to and not really participate in anything important. But the rarest Item I own is probably one of those infected Tahu-Nuva Masks that came only in the bundle with all 3 books from 2003. I just found it in my bow full of pieces and didn't even know that it had any worth at all. I think I have a foto: Edited June 14, 2023 by IgnikaTV I misspelled something 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Archivist Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Collector. I know this is a somewhat abrasive statement, but MOC's always seemed stupid to me. I realize that's a wild statement from an adult who collects Legos ("What? you BUILD with them? what are you, 12? You're supposed to put them in a drawer and only discuss them.") There's something psychological for me about finishing a collection of something I have nostalgia for. Like, so much stuff is out of my control, but this 259 kraata grid looks complete, so its one thing I have control over. Never really valued the aesthetics of builds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.B.O.C Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Collector for sure. I never seriously moc'ed when I was younger, and don't have any time for it now unfortunately. I'll occasionally play around with parts when I have some free time though. I very much like to see MOCs though! I feel like I see tons of really inventive and creative new ones often now, which I really enjoy. It would be fun to get better with for sure! I need to take inventory of all the new fun parts that have been invented in the past few years though - I find myself quite unfamiliar with them at times. As for rarity? I guess prototype coloration parts are my genuine rarest. I believ e I've talked about them a few times, so pics below. Won them in a raffle here on BZP about 13 years ago. Crazy how time flies. Other than that - not too sure? I have two European misprints, but I hardly count those as rare. Red Ruru and Brown Matatu - and not even gotten for terrible prices! The other stuff that might be considered rare are just harder to find sets. CIB Kardas, Ultimate Dume, Voporak, Icarax, Karzahni, Lesovikk, etc... Besides a small handful of sets that are missing boxes, I maintain a CIB collection, which I know isn't always too common. Do complete collectible collections count? I have all the original 72 Kanohi and all 72 Krana. I also have a short mold Tahnok foot. Don't think that's rare per-se, but it I haven't seen short molds of near any part commonly (besides that pearl light blue Toa foot in one of the parts canister sets). 1 Quote My Brickshelf, please don't copy!... ...Looking for shiny Regirock, Articuno, and Virizion!(Can trade most any legendary for them!)My 3DS friend list is full, sorry!

(-Kopaka Toa of Ice-) Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) I'm retired buyer but not a builder. I did modify certain sets such as adding a axle that fixed a fatal flaw in Kopaka Uniter shoulders. The https://brickset.com/parts/4121667/double-cross-block double cross block that connects the shoulders to the body does not have any support. I have seen the things crack often and by design those on kopaka will crack from friction. You need a 2x Half technic bushings (those thin things) 2x 3 length axles 1x 5 length axle Step 1- open kopaka's uniter's by detaching his chest Step 2- Slide the both sockets shoulders off his body, replace the upper red axles with a 3 length axles and half bushings. Then slide each should onto the back pieces. The sockets axleholes should both be lined up with the unused axle hole on the unity piece and have a fraction of the 3 length axles sticking out for support and wont slide off Step 3- Close the chest However i dont have one of these for added support https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=11478#T=C Edited June 18, 2023 by (-Kopaka Toa of Ice-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daler99 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I’m a bit of both, I guess. I’ve been slowly trying to add old sets to my collection. I’m not going for a complete set of Kanohi, Krana, etc.; I’m just interested in the sets lol. As for MOCing, I do enjoy tinkering with various parts and taking MOCs to BFVA. I haven’t built many BIONICLE specific MOCs in a while, though. Maybe I should get back into it lol 1 Quote ~Daler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareCreations Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I started as a collector, a couple of years ago I decided to rebuild all my old bionicle sets. After that something resurfaced and I wanted to find all the sets I couldn't buy at the time. Only recently have I started building mocs, using both construction and system parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
