Jean Valjean Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Since they each have their own unique image, I've tried using them as ways of classified storage for all of my MOCing pieces. It's a flawed system, since I have to empty them completey and go through a bit of a mess to find what I want, though. I think that in the future I will use plastic bags.Your Honor,Tyrannosaurus Kraggh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPNML Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Sadly, with me living with my neat freak mom, they get thrown away in 3 days.exception: surge 2.0's jar is a good lego parts fund jar. :)and Evo 2.0's jar is a good cryostasis chamber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee.3x3 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I don't have any anymore, save for a few Glatorian/HF canisters.I'm keeping these around to do something like this or this, which are both great uses for them IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigogeek Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 The Glatorian canisters were literally build to be stacked, they have grooves in the top and bottom to stack with. I would make a lot of giant towers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrozenFlash Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Whenever I want to take apart my figures to make things, I just use those canisters to put in the spare parts. That's probably the only thing I do with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~garnira returns~ Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I used to build matoran villages in the center of my room with them, but I only have a couple left seeing as they tend (unintentionaly) to find theyre way to the trash can. I only have a couple left, so no more villages. Darn hero factory, why must you discontinue canisters!? "Copy and paste me into your sig! The shadows command you!"

Nuparu1995 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Snack containers? Genius! :lol:I could never find uses for mine. I only kept enough to make a Suva and a Matoran Sphere, but the rest I recycled.

Eragon3443 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I use them for sorting pieces. Feel free to friend me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Lhikan Hordika Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Mostly I just store them and us them when I'm moving my sets around. It really helped with my most recent move as they allowed me to not have to disassemble any of the canister sets.Can't say I've ever used them to build a fort, but I'm sure I have enough of them to do so. I usually keep the Bohrok and Rahkshi in their canisters since doing so seems to be reminiscant of the story.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overlord Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I actually (finally) sorted out my BIONICLE parts by category and use one canister for each category.... Although some categories inevitably spill out into multiple canisters.~~ "YOU'D THINK, FOR BEING A DEAD MAN, I'D BE MORE TRIUMPHANT THAN I AM."

Nuparu1995 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Come to think of it, I probably should have used some of them for storing spare parts...

Darknut Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I tend to store a majority of my parts in my old canisters, usually correlating the color of the canister with the color of the parts contained inside it. Other than that, back when I still "played" with my Bionicle sets, me and a friend of mine did use them to create villages, essentially using them as walls.

man774 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) I use them to store sets in, but sometimes I'll use them to build little things for them when I play with them. Like maku sitting behind tarix's lid, with .little trinkets on it and a pile of gears to represent widgets. then Icarax comes and destroys it all. For bohrok and rahkshi, I would (to my mom's disgust) fill them with water and use that little oddball piece to hang them in there. I don't know why.

Soran Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I hold the key to the safe that holds all my life's savings in one of my canisters and the peice of paper with the code for the safe in another. I use to use them for building forts which I would quickly destroy in less than 30 seconds. Normally I hold extra pieces in them... fun.~Soran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master of Greyhounds Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Removed the labels from some, (the iruni set, kind of regretting that) and store them. Now I have to try the forts!

Obsessionist Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Since I have so many, most of them are up attic, along with by Bionicle boxes. I too one of each shape and all of the canister lids with connection points (mata, nuva, metru) and keep them in my closet just in case I need to use them.
