Least Favorite Set

[Ringoster]

What's your least liked Bionicle set in terms of design, looks, function, or anything else? Mine would have to be either Tahu Stars, Tahu Mata, Gorast, or Gali Mistika.

[Mr. Anon1]

Honestly worst set line would probably be Bohrok Kal. I expected more than just a repeat of the previous year's villains.

[Aedai Rivin]

Nektann was rather disappointing, as none of the pieces besides his blade are really useful. Rivin

[Erebus]

Any of the Stars sets. They just didn't live up to my expectations. I can blame BIONICLE's rather abrupt ending.

[Mr. Anon1]

Yeah '10 was pretty disappointing set wise. The story was epic, but there should have been at least 12 sets. Bionicle began with a bang; it should have at least ended with one.

[Sumiki]

I cut the Kal some slack, and for one reason: those silver joints. Even if they don't precisely match with the bucketload of other silver hues that LEGO has released and updated over the years, they're still the only old-style silver sockets that I'm aware of. In this sense, I can't feasibly count sets that are absolutely terrible if they have good parts, i.e. the Baranus, the single most sucky vehicle since Vultraz. Vultraz and Mazeka's whatevertheywerecalled vehicles also had good parts. For horrible sets with the added non-bonus of not-very-good parts, I'll have to go with Takanuva Stars. No gold! This is Takanuva we're talking about, and I don't like LEGO's excuse for him not having it. Teridax could see everything in the MU, so he'd know where Takanuva was even if he were totally invisible. He didn't even have cool parts like some of the other Stars, like Skrall having BLACK KOPAKA MATA SWORD or the recolors on the other. (Nektann Stars also ranks up there in suckitude, but he at least had a new mold. [Even if it was terrible.]) I still really don't think LEGO handled the end of BIONICLE well. The Stars should have been canister sets.

I agree a lot with you on the Stars Sumiki, they didn't even bother trying to give Takanuva a miniaturized version of his 2008 Power Staff. But for my personal, least favorite sets, I'm gonna have to say any of the Piraka.

• [*]The zamor balls fall easily from their weapons because they didn't have "zamor cage magazines" on their launchers.[*]Their rubber spines restrict certain shoulder poses.[*]Their assymetry was bad they could have provided a better on their left arm.[*]They have a tendency to be top heavy and fall over easily.[*]Their eyes are fun till the batteries are dead[*]Their rubber pieces attract a lot of dust... almost like magnets.

And While I'm at it i do have negative opinions about almost all of the 2008 Toa Nuva. Yeah I'm looking at you "Toa Mistakea"

Visorak. Though the Rhotuka weren't bad, they were nearly impossible to pose and the only really good parts were their feet. :/

[GCKrastin]

To be honest I really didn't like the Stars (Gresh was good though because of the claw pieces) or the Mahri-toran. I can't say about anything pre-2004 because I wasn't in to Bionicle before the Metru came out.

[Phauxx Lightning]

Nocturn, or the Skrall star. Nocturn too... weird of a set, I dunno. And the Skrall star was poorly built.

[Overlord]

@Daiker, PFFT, THAT THING WAS SO AWESOME.:PI don't really know, actually. Pretty much every set I own has some parts that are useful to me. Obviously some are better than others, but I wouldn't have gotten them if I didn't like them well enough to do so.And as for sets I didn't buy... I just can't think of any that are COMPLETELY horrible at the moment.

Kirop. most of his parts are unusable to me, the joints of cracked. I had to go lego replacement parts to get a new foot, and that's broken too. 2008 plastic was truly aweful, and wrecked other sets like Lewa Phantoka and Mazeka, and a few 2009 sets like Mata Nui and Malum.

[Valyou]

All of the 2008 Nuva, (Onua was kinda cool though, to be honest) since they didn't look remotely close to their predecessors at all! I think those un-openable canisters were a first bad note, since it's like LEGO didn't want you to open and assemble such bad sets. Like everybody else, I'm obviously going to say the Bohrok-Kal. Why repeat last year's villians? They could've done anything, even 6 mutant Brakas monkeys operating Exo-Toa, just not the Kal! Oh, and the Stars, I feel the mood for ranting, so I'll list every problem with the Stars.Tahu: There's really not much to say, but seriously, making the BIONICLE poster boy a useless midget that has way less parts and yet costs as much as his predecessors?Takanuva: '08 Taka was a BIG mother hubbard, now he's only a head shorter than the 2003 Taka? Plus the silver.Gresh: The original Gresh looked great! Why change him to be a awful little midget? What in the storyline can explain such an event anyways?Nektann/Piraka: He was never really important in the storyline before, and yet he's a Star? Huh.HV Rahkshi: Not much up with him, but Heat Vision Rahkshi were never in the story before, and yet they're a Star, just like Nektann.Skrall: OK, he doesn't deserve much ranting about with that BLACK KOPAKA MATA SWORD! But Skrall is just a year-apart midget-release like Gresh was.EDIT: I just remembered the '08 Matoran should be here too, plenty of broken feet and necks.

[Peach 00]

The Mistika were a bit of a disappointment, although Gali wasn't half bad. Tahu and Onua were just ugly. >_<

[Zarohum]

Gadunka was terrible, but Umbra was pretty bad too. I have neither. Luckily... If I had to choose one I have, I'd say Gorast.

[DeLaSouth]

As a set, probably.. Hewkii Inika. His mask.. it's just so.. And his neck, and his torso, and his weapons, andTHOSE FEET. THOSE FEET.

[Trijhak]

My least favourite set was the Baranus. Or maybe the Hordika.

[~Allegretto~]

The Mistika were okay as sets, but they didn't look like their characters IMO. Plus Tahu was really the only one with a weapon besides the Nynrah, and even that was kinda meh.

[~ShadowBolt~]

The ones which had joints that snapped when you looked at them wrong. They sucked.

[Toa of Ice - 1987]

Reasons for 2008 Toa sucking Lewa is okay but i wasnt happy with his lime green darkgray colorswitch. the rest was ok if you add the axalara mask on his phantoka version. Kopaka The scope is on the wrong side they added a ugly laser peg hole on the mask instead of a proper eye and he got a puny blade. Pohatu His mask is a fraggin Vahi clone and i loathe his orange colorswitch. weapons are mildly ok but when you pose the weapons closed they 'll sometimes get saggy and fall down. And but where's the brown. Tahu No blades torso is backwards and official mistika weapon has removed his glorius lavaboard ability. His mask is to ninja and knight helmet like. He was turned into metru red instead of mata red. Gali got turned into metru blue instead of her mata blue color. Her mask became the awful "Waffle eye bunny ear mask" No proper main weapon and just a blaster. she looks way to buff like a body builder indtead of a slim female warrior. lack of lightblue. Onua got too tall and lanky instead of being hunchbacked and menacingly bulky. He got a big carrying handle for his blaster and a shield. and a mask that looks like a cross between the mask of shadows and hewkii mahri's mask. they didnt even give him silver jet fins and engines instead of the bright red colors which clash against his ugly silver and black combo. The most important error was the uniformal color of silver armor for both teams was ruined. their signature body colors ruined(both team couldn't decide if they'd be darkgray or silver) and they didn't even didn't get to keep their signature eyecolors and had to use the shortened version of the transparent lime green metrubrain.

[Eeko]

Titan Mata-nui. Should have been so awesome, but it just looked...awkward.

[-Blank-]

Titan Mata-Nui is the worst Bionicle ever made. I hate it and it was a huge waste of $70.

[Ehlekdude]

Visorak Roporak. He was kinda ugly in a negative way.

[VBBN]

The stars for sure. Lego didnt HAVE to end the line abruptly, it's their fault for pushing out that rubbish.

[Boidoh]

The Bohrak Va was kinda lame, it didnt even have krana.

[Nytrone]

The stars. I was very disappointed in them. Choppy, thrown-together designs, and an abrupt and anticlimactic end to the Bionicle set line.

[Zuju]

Barraki are my least favorite.

[Blue Dragon]

Of all the sets I own, the only one I really dislike is Krika. The idea they had for it was good, it's just that the execution was bad.

[Lime Paradox]

Most of the sets from 2008 onward weren't very good, but Vastus, Gali Mistika, and Titan Mata Nui were particularly awful.

[Ringoster]

Nektann was rather disappointing, as none of the pieces besides his blade are really useful. Rivin

I just used Netktann's head piece as a hair part for a female MOC, so i'd say it could be useful, kinda...

[Big Macintosh]

I didn't really like the Stars that much. Not the best way to end the toyline, in my opinion.

[Bambi]

Bohrok-Kal.

[SolarSurge]

Kiina, definitely. Long arms on a tiny body do not make for a good set design.

[Akuna Toa of Sonics]

I didn't like the Hordika, Skrall 2010, and Rahkshi 2010.

[GeluNumber1]

The stars. They ended the line with a whimper. Not cool, Lego.

[Kask Daxxe]

Mata nui, solely for the ankle wobblyness.

[Based Goomy]

I did not like Nidhiki as a set. His pieces were rather nice though. But hey, the question was "Least Favourite Set" wasn't it?

[Vorahk1Panrahk2]

I was pretty unimpressed with Pridak. Adding waist articulation was a good idea, but it was terrible executed. The set just seems to flop around like a rag doll. Funny enough, despite the fact that the Kal were clones, I liked them.

[Aedai Rivin]

The problem with a lot of these least favorite sets is that they have useful pieces. Only bad sets with bad pieces should be your least favorite. That's why Skrall Stars shouldn't be least favorite, because of that lovely BLACK KOPAKA SWORD! Rivin
