Shine Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Hewkii Matoro I know they're simple, but I wanted to make them that they could fit in the ten dollar cannister set price range. Update: Hahli Kongu Quote
VBBN Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) How many pieces are in each? And I think You need to underline the links. Edited July 31, 2007 by ~VBBN~ Quote
Shine Posted July 31, 2007 Author Posted July 31, 2007 How many pieces are in each?Hewkii: 89Matoro: 66 And I think You need to underline the links.Too much work. :-P Quote
VBBN Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Hewkii: 89Matoro: 66Too much work. :-P 89? That is almost a titan set! Axonn was what? 120 pieces? Thats Nuts. Matoro looks neat but the two have a lot of system parts. That wasn't a hit on BZP. Quote

That wasn't a hit on BZP.Axonn, 192 pieces.The average price for 100 pieces is $10.00 meaning LEGO could potentially sell these for ten bucks each. the two have a lot of system parts. That wasn't a hit on BZP.*shrug* I'm trying to have a good time MOCing, not everyone has to like the outcome. Quote

Wow I estimated bad. And yess the average price for SYSTEM LEGOS is 10.00 for 100 parts, but technic is different. Quote
Shine Posted August 1, 2007 Author Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) Wow I estimated bad. And yes the average price for SYSTEM LEGO is 10.00 for 100 parts, but TECHNIC is different.Nope, take a look at this, this, this, or this.Axonn was 192 pieces, while he cost $20.00, the price for BIONICLE canister sets is about 25% more than what it should be simply because LEGO can get away with it.

dviddy Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Piraka limbs BAD. Tsk tsk. Oh, and yeah, too much system! Oh man, there's like, two pieces in Matoro! And eight on Hewkii! BZP dislikes system and Bionicle mixed! Oh, no! :-P Seriously though, fix the elbows and give them real arms. <<DV>> Quote
Starwars4J Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 How'd you do that? You put in another [ u ] to get rid of the underline? How evil >:-) I like these, they have an interesting call back to the first generation of Bionicle. The hands are really simple (which I personally don't like on a MOC, but I think work nicely for a retro set), and the same for the feet. Hewkii just looks great, a real tough customer, though the swords look a little small in comparison to the body. Matoro looks great too, that really weird hunched-over look works nicely with the gigantic head, or rather gigantic gas-mask :-P The forearms look a little bare, but I love the color scheme. Overall I think these are really great, with nice throwbacks to the original generation, however they still seem a bit complex and bulky by comparison for that look (if that's indeed what you were going for at all). Nice job Quote
InnerRayg Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Matoro's not too different, but that's not a bad thing, he looks really good. Hewkii I'm not happy with. It looks like has no knee articulation...his legs are just too thick. The arms also seem a bit short. Quote

This better?(sorry about the picture, my camera's flash tends to crap out when the batteries are low.) I like these, they have an interesting call back to the first generation of Bionicle.If you say so. :P The hands are really simple (which I personally don't like on a MOC, but I think work nicely for a retro set), and the same for the feet.Hands, yes, I like them without fingers. Not sure what you mean about the feet though, they're more complex than most Neo-Toa you'll see.Hewkii just looks great, a real tough customer, though the swords look a little small in comparison to the body.Agreed, though the larger blade looks worse to me.Hewkii I'm not happy with. It looks like has no knee articulation...his legs are just too thick. The arms also seem a bit short.Agreed Quote
VBBN Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Oh crap! Lego is ripping me off! I like the amount of sand blue pieces. Can you make the the other mahri? Especially Nuparu and hali? I would really like to see them. You seem like you know what your doing when it comes to your own taste. Please make the other mahri. I am sure they will be *y* Regards, ~VBBN~ Quote

Though, I have to wonder if you're being sarcastic, as your opinion seems to have changed rather dramatically for apparent no reason... Also, what sand blue? Quote

Though, I have to wonder if you're being sarcastic, as your opinion seems to have changed rather dramatically for apparent no reason...Also, what sand blue? Sand blue on matoro, and his joints. And I am not being sarcastic. Who said I like hewki and matoro? I relized that when you said that you were trying to have a good time macing, that I was being o hard on you. I am really a criticist when it comes to mocs, even though I don't post much on BZP, or here, Dosen't mean I don't moc. I am a big MOCer. I would enter BBC contests, but I just don't have the time with school and everything. Heck I am running a contest of my own in space of mecha, and it's pinned. So that proves that I AM NOT BEING SARCATIC. I am now hoping that you relize what I mean. Quote

Matoro has light blue. *wacko* Please don't sugarcoat it, I'm looking for criticism, but so far all you've said is that other people won't like it. Tell me what you think. Quote
Lord Admiral Helden Ravensdorn Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 If all the actual retail sets were at this quality (your 2nd version redone Hewkii has my love) I'd so buy them. But, they might take some level of patience or skill to build, so we cant have that. Quote
Clonie Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 But, they might take some level of patience or skill to build, so we cant have that.Yes, squids required skill and patience to use, and we all know how terribly frustrating and hard they were to use.Anyway, to the MOCs, I'm not a big fan of the Hewkii one, but I like Matoro, apart from the Piraka arms. *n* Hewkii looks a bit too bulky, I think. And lose the mask, it sucks. :-P Not your fault though. *cough*TLC*cough* Quote
Kahgarak Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Wow, Matoro is awesome! I adore his blades- perfect for a deepsea uppercut! *sweet* Quote

Tell me what you think. I think these are too bulky and to complicated to be toa. All I like is how you kept the color schemes. There was nothing wrong with hewkii, just that he was to short, and matoros arms weren't right. Quote
Lt. Col. Thok Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 These I like. Do you have any other Mahri to revamp? Quote
Lord Admiral Helden Ravensdorn Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Actually, Clonie, the squids just suck. Everyone'll agree on that point. - Helden Quote
Zarkan Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Actually, Clonie, the squids just suck. Everyone'll agree on that point.- Helden For once, I completely agree with you. Squids = :-X Anyway, nice revamps, Shine! I like Matoro a lot, especially since you balanced the light blue out well and he still mantains a bit of a hunchback, like in his actual set form. Hewkii, I'm not so fond of. I guess I can blame it most on the mask, which isn't your fault at all, but I'm also not keen on those System shoulder pads. I'm not against System in Bionicle at all, but it just doesn't look right to me. :-/ Still, they both are great, and I LOVE that you got rid of the Cordak launchers without making them look incomplete! *sweet* Quote
Clonie Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 Actually, Clonie, the squids just suck. Everyone'll agree on that point.- Helden Well that's not the point, the point is that people complain that they're too hard to use and all that crap, as though they're any more difficult than Rhotuka. :-|Hopefully you don't think Rhotuka are hard to use as well! :-P Quote
dviddy Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 as though they're any more difficult than Rhotuka. Squids are friggin' impossible compared to Rhotuka. Rhotuka were fun. I liked them. Though there were too many of them on everything. That was lame. <<DV>> Quote
Clonie Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 Squids are friggin' impossible compared to Rhotuka. <<DV>> I fail to see how a Master MOCer (no sarcasm) can't use a squid launcher. Quote
