  1. Stormtroopper looks like a 25$ for me, looks as solid as Obi and has a large weapon piece.with lot of system going on. depends on what 2016 bonkle brings if I need him.
  2. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=103678&st=14650#entry2270332 GG boys. For people looking for skeletons in Finland most of the retailers list unfortunately 1. of August. Though Lelut24 starts selling them at 24th this month. Took the change and preordered them.
  3. Well yeah... Orange would had been associated with fire, tr light blue wouldn't work and trans white studs would just be too hard to find. But it didn't need to be a freeze Bow, obviously it will not have a significant impact on story, almost any other neutral color would had been fine.
  4. The thing that most bugs me with this guy are those white studs. There is absolutely no white in his build besides them and the chest print. They gave Ekimu light transblue studs, why not the same for him, or trans orange?
  5. Slicer seems to be using it as an actual mask on the animations when he's won Lewa. I love how the writers have taken notes about his stupid actions. Also noticed how the arena functions just like the one on Coliseum, pillars are larger but it's still the same concept. Well the first skeleton pic is on the website, though in an unusual place http://cache.lego.com/r/www/r/bionicle/-/media/franchises/bionicle%202014/build/build_promo_2hy15_edit.jpg?l.r2=-586705291
  6. It could also be just Onua who tries to escape after being buried. Notice how Lewa was the first to screw up, in the last shot of the toa there are only 5. And Slicer already had his mask.
  7. Feet look good now but I think the transorange is a needed aspect, on the original set all the bohrok should have been transparent orange. But if that's not to your liking I'd swap those glow in the darks to normal ones at least and if possible change one of the technicliftarms, or basically anything on it's tail that is possible into trans or silver color. I don't mind it's that large but without brighter colors it just look's like it's slapped there and not part of the actual thing.
  8. I'm on a fence which system is better at this point, but I can trust CCBS overcoming the old system. It already has shown it has greater selling potential by being able to produce more than just robots/biomechanical creatures (which still look like robots and I hope for some organic looking stuff so people can finally think that Bionicle sets might not only represent a robot, only Barraki ever touched this).
  9. Sure, technic helps CCBS/HF-system, but at least it's able to hold on its own, everything in old system would just fall apart without technic since everything is connected with technic pins and axles. So yes, CCBS on it's pure form (HF 2.0-3.0) looks bad with their backs and limbs open but old Bionicle system wouldn't work at all. I personally want technic to be integrated as almost essential for future CCBS. Von Nebula, he uses an upside down glatorian head. No, I don't think this trans mask has any impact on story as didn't the clear Tahu mask.
  10. There's no need trying to be Mr. Wiseguy here.While I dislike Pokémon this is a tad different scenario with larger numbers in the game. There's not been any kind of official news, at least on MB's YT page of Bloks an Bots. It's safe to assume it's dead. Tenkai Knight's seems to be having it's second season but it comes year or too late So even if they are able to air it, it sounds like it's not been doing that great and will be axed.
  11. ...Aand many competitors of Bionicle tend to be axed after a year or two 5 seems to be their max. If not counting in Transformers. If something kills constraction, or Lego in general it's not because of some other theme, but because of those cash crab mobile games that take kids attention and of what I have a deep hatred for. Many of them tend to bee unethical in their business model, have poor quality overall and are hurting both game and toyindustry. The idea that I should be thankful for Rovio for what they did for our country is sickening.
  12. One new upper torso and chest armor and some new molds having the same purpose as old pieces, also lots of re-used molds from Vsorak/Toa Metru (Inika build is also just a re-skin of Piraka build anyways). Comparing that rehearsed pile to an entirely new system that CCBS is isn't even fair. I would say that the Metru were more innovative than Inika, They had more new molds and those molds didn't just share the same purpose as all the old ones. On the actual topic I believe we get to see a new and improved version of CCBS at some point, not something like the transition to it was, but in a way how the old build evolved with pieces adding more place for customization. Meaning moslty pieces with more attachment points and thus making parts like torso, foot. Even going as far as breaking limbs into two pieces (Think about pieces that are like friction joints but longer) seems an option. For a story and media I don't think there ever will be a TV-series, but these small animations with better quality could become a thing and a movie or couple if the sales stay good enough. I'd believe that as whole Bionicle will not get that much of media treatment and publicity as Hero Factory, but what it gets, will be more fleshed out and of better quality.
  13. Depends if the story arc goes as excepted (creation, control, power). It's a three year planned but quite possibly will be extended and I doubt that time will be that big thing before 2018. Or if they just decide to wrap the mask same year as some other as less significant. Or extend the search for Moup 1 year to allow time for the third. It's hard to predict these things when there are so many options.
  14. Kinda noticed too, but it's not that bad. Made think of why my language even calls skull as pääkallo (headskull) and not just "kallo" possibly it's too similar to kallio (peak, cliff) So it's like headskull warrior (pääkallosoturi), headskullscorpion (pääkalloskorpioni) the rest are verbals like kallonleikkaaja (skull cutter), kallonmurskaaja (skull crusher) and kallonjauhaja (skull pulverizer and don't use the word pää/head. Kinda odd that only the two confirmed as hordes are translated that way.
  15. Might explain the whole VK newlegobionicle thing then. Still sad they don't do similar stuff on FB. Oh and one of their last posts was about warrior so possible information could be coming soon.
  16. Noticed this too and it's still total mystery for me too, disassembled my Kopaka and put him again but didn't find any reason to put the piece back. Thought it would interfere with warrior in a way that his chest place can't be pushed invards, but it still leaves 1 stud of space there so I have really no idea.
  17. Oh but I do since I posted it :D Just tone down a bit of your, well I guess you know it yourself.
  18. Kal were the most forgettable sets, when majority talks about Bionicle they usually mention only years 2001-2003, sometimes 2004 and especially bohrok but it's like they had no idea the Kal even existed.
  19. Neat, kinda lanky but I think that was intentional. I'd hope you swap the Hero Factory printed armor off though. Would the tubes look better if attached to the y-balljoints and not to the torso armor? It was also a good idea to use a bit darker color for the head so it stands out.
  20. The six protectors need names, especially PoF. The rest are just villagers but need names too if and hopefully they appear more on the story not just "villager". The skeletons are a whole different thing, Kulta needed a name for sure and same I could say about Slicer, but then again he's far away from his past self. the rest of the skeleton army is just a horde. depends on Basher if he's just a horde but I'd doubt it.
  21. I actually meant to comment at somepoint, dunno why I didn't. These are amazing and one of the best unofficial combiners for sure. The scorpion looks fierce but the function is not the best looking thing and looks like an afterthought. The thing itself still looks great. Great that you took multiple poses of the bird, the first one doesn't really do it justice but I love the second one. It's sad that the wings wont flap to same direction but that's really hard to do without 6 friction gears anyways. Hope you return to the crab thing and give it some function still looks very nice for what it is. All of these guys have incredibly creative heads, especially the bird and crab. Edit: just noticed how unorthodox the scorpion's head is, but I'll let that pass
  22. Love the overall design and the proportions are much better than on any official G2 stuff yet. Not much liking the wider Jaw on the mask and the chest armor covering shoulders completely I mean, it looks impractical and looks like she can't move her arms to front + it makels her look less feminine. .
  23. He would also miss his hammer and golden armor. But the tr-fluor green bones could be used from Scorpio.
  24. Her shoulder armor is raised up, they are not huge pauldrons like on G2 but it's still notable. Also for continuation theory, the thrusters on her legs could have turned into fins. I didn't think about the jaw of the mask first but that's one thing too.
  25. Imgur lets you edit the picture (change the size for example after it's been uploaded) Lewa and Gali are similar to their Phantoka/Mistika counterparts too and Tahu to his golden armor. Pohatu has kind of same-y weapons. Kopaka has really no resemblance to his Phantoka form at all.
