  1. I wouldn't recommend Target, because the stores around me only stock some of the creatures, the large Toa, Umarak, and occasionally Gali. Walmart's alright, but the stores closest to me are starting to not stock as much, it's almost the same selection as Target. The Toys R Us closest to me is quite far, if you don't use the highway, but it has decent stock, having most, if not all Winter Wave Bionicle sets, as well as plentiful amounts of Lava and Storm Beast, and one Quake Beast. In addition, there's 2015 sets on clearance. Speaking of TRU, Something I learned from Just2Good is that they'll price-match with LEGO.com. So if a set's on clearance on LEGO's website, you can pull up the listing from the website on your mobile device (if possible), and they'll price match. I tried it with Pohatu, and it worked!
  2. If there's a theme that utilizes CCBS and Technic in the way the 2016 Bionicle and Star Wars Buildable Figures did, along with some neat uses of the CCBS system (like modernized versions of the uses we saw in the Savage Planet and Breakout Waves of Hero Factory), I'll be greatly satisfied. I want to see something that will take the good from every constraction theme this far, and add onto it.
  3. @JekPorkchops Thanks a lot for letting me know! I actually don't live in England, but actually far from it, in Texas. I would love to go England some day, though, because it sounds like a very nice place to visit. I've looked on Ebay for Invasion from Below, but there aren't many good deals, to be quite honest. Any other online stores you'd recommend?
  4. Lucky you can find them! I hope you don't mind me asking, what stores have the sets in your area? The only store near me that occasionally has them used, or sealed for a very high price is my LEGO resale shop, Bricks and Minifigs. You already got a lot of my favorites, but others I'd recommend are Evo XL Machine, for lots of great parts, the Tunneler Beast for a very fun and unique build, and the Queen Beast for a simple, but nice machine, a beast with a very unique and creative build, and lots of good parts.
  5. I understand. Thanks a lot for sharing these HF MODs though. I love how you stayed true to the Hero's personality, while still adding your own flare and expanding LEGO's ideas. I especially like the coverage and creativity you have given all of these, with the guitar weapon on Stringer, and the simple and effective build of Breeze. Everyone seems to get their full potential full-filled. and they all combine their best forms into one hero.
  6. It most definitely depends on the sets. I feel like most of titans are very good buys, but I'm not too sure about the canister sets. Personally, I'd recommend the Toa Metru, and the Bohrok. The Metru are everything I look for in a canister set; gear functions, solid look, nice articulation, a money's worth build, and a flowing aesthetic. The Bohrok are mostly function builds, so only having a static joint to move doesn't effect them much. I personally don't like early canister sets because of their static, specialized pieces. Hordika are kind of messy and look imcomplete due to functionality. I don't like Inika Builds either, because they are silly looking, and I don't prefer the way they are built. I think titans and Metru builds are good, and maybe Mahri, because those are neat. I feel like the CCBS is a grand improvement, and I don't see how I could go back to the G1 builds with what we have now.
  7. I would say Kopaka is my favorite 2015 toa. I loved the colors of him, and his build was one of the most solid of the masters, and actually worked with the HF Torso Piece. I like that they stayed with the roots, but added lots of new character to the set as well. I would say Onua is my favorite 2016 toa. The colors are really nice, and the build still retains the bulky look of 2015 while not looking too silly.
  8. I really enjoy all of your 2015 MODs. I hope your 2016 ones come out soon.
  9. This is an extremely effective MOC that still looks like the character! Great job!
  10. I have made a custom gearbox using the 2016 Waist Gear Torso. You can use it, but credit is always appreciated. I have built a test MOC to go with it. You can place friction gears on the back, but unfortunately you can only place two if you want back coverage armor. To be honest, I really like it because it aligns with the arms, it is small, not clunky, and uses a resource torso instead of an add-on piece.
  11. This is a really neat MOC! The POU really works well here for the Okotans. The function is integrated really well, much better than Quake Beast. The concept is also neat as well. I get inspired by your MOCs and content. It really helps me when I get stuck in MOCs and Revamps.
  12. That's a pretty nice revamp! I especially enjoy the bow! It's the closest thing to a real one and still has a neat function. The legs also look a bit cleaner, which somewhat ruins the deer aesthetic LEGO was going for, but the extra ammo, like the belt, really add on to the hunter look. Nice job.
  13. TBH, I would absolutely love a titan Darth Maul to go along with Darth Vader. That would be amazing. Boba Fett with an updated buildable figure build would also be nice as well. And that sand green. I'm open to any droids, and I would love to see some custom technic torsos. Chewbacca would also be great as well, bringing in that beautiful dark brown. Han Solo would be amazing for Metru Blue! Like some people were saying, a Scout Trooper with a Technic Speeder Bike would be awesome as well. Clones FTW! Other than that, figures with interesting parts and recolors sastify me!
  14. By the looks of it, it seems like I'm one of the only ones who like 2016 sets better than 2015. Than again I'm a sucker for some good technic. Visually, the sets' colors may not be as good, but they feel like they have grown out much more compared to their 2015 counterparts. The 2015 sets were kind of clunky in some areas, and these are too, but definitely not as much, IMO. The torsos are a great example of this. They just look so much better and evened out, even though they are a little flat. This is just my opinion though.
