So I grabbed the Lavaria Minifigure parts from Jestro's Volcano lair when I ordered some parts from Lego. But I couldn't get the cape piece. For anyone who has the actual set. Is Lavaria's cape in that set the old stiffer variant or the new softer cloth variant?

Got my parts from lego today. So I can now finish my Makuta moc. Expect pictures sometime next week. Edit: Ended up scrapping the design. I'm going to go with a combiner idea using all the purple sets from 2015 and 2016. Onua Master of Earth Protector of Earth Skull Basher Onua Uniter of Earth Terak Creature of Earth Quake Beast

How? Which ones did they stock?

This might be a little to early to discuss but this idea was on my mind all day after watching the last two episodes of Journey to one. How I think Bionicle could have continued into 2017. Though a slight change to the second half of 2016 is needed for this to work During the second set of episodes in Journey to one. Makuta would have had Umarak the Destroyer go capture the 6 elemental Creatures as the six elements are what's needed to open the portal to the shadow realm. When Ekimu knocked the MOUP from Makuta's face Makuta's spirit along with the MOUP became trapped in the shadow realm. Makuta's body would have been launched away from the city from the explosion. The Toa would return to the mask makers city only for it to be attacked by the beasts. The Toa would get overwhelmed and the Creatures would be captured and taken to the crater. Ekimu decides he's been on the sidelines for too long and calls Igil The Creature of light. Ekimu merges with Igil and becomes his 2016 set. The Toa and Ekimu would travel to the crater to rescue the Creatures. The would arrive to already see Umarak using the Creatures to begin opening the portal. Umarak would capture the Toa in shadow only for Ekimu to use Igil's light to weaken Umarak. This gives Gali a chance to free Akida only for both of there spirits to end up in the shadow realm. There Gali and Akida see Makuta's spirit possesing the MOUP commanding a shadow army planning there escape to Okoto. Akida leads Gali to the carvings in the city that show the six Toa armed with light based armor to combat the shadow. There is another carving but most of it is destroyed. Gali can only make out the words Toa, Elements and Embodiment Meanwhile without Akida's spirit. Umarak can't extract an elemental crystal from it and the portal can't fully open. The other 5 Toa and Ekimu start fighting Umarak but Umarak calls the Beasts and together manage to separate Igil from Ekimu reverting Ekimu to his Protecter sized form. Umarak uses Igil as a replacement for Akida and extracts six elemental crystals from the Creatures. This allows Makuta to cross over but not before Gali and Akida do first. Gali tells the other Toa and Ekimu what she saw but before she can finish. Makuta's spirit and the MOUP escape the Shadow realm and Makuta possesses Umarak to gain a physical body replacing the Mask of Control with the MOUP. This causes Umarak's body to transform again into the 2017 Makuta set. Ekimu advises that they need to leave and the Six Toa unite once more with there Creatures and run away with Ekimu taking the Mask of Control with him. Makuta announces his return and tells the Toa they can't hide as the shadow army emerges from the portal. This is where the 2016 Journey to one story ends. Onto 2017. There would only be one wave of sets as to wrap up the story faster. The sets would be. The six Toa wearing elemental light armor crafted by Ekimu so they can resist the shadow power Makuta has. Six small sets that would be the shadow army Makuta controls (These would be alongside the Beasts) And Makuta possesing Umarak's body with a gold MOUP The small sets would be 10$. Gali Lewa and Pohatu would be 15$. Tahu, Kopaka and Onua would be 20$. And Makuta would be 30$ Journey to One would have 2 more episodes titled Destiny part 1 and Destiny Part 2. Part one would show the Toa getting there Light elemental armor and fighting against the Shadow Horde. Ekimu would send them out to find Makuta's Protector body. They would located it frozen and preserved in the region of Ice. They bring back Makuta's body and Ekimu would put the Mask of Control back on his brother's face. He says they can still save Makuta but they would need to separate his spirit from the MOUP. Ekimu merges with Agil again and Ekimu and the Toa head to confront Makuta. Onua carrying Makuta's Protector body with him. The Creatures would stay behind and protect there respective regions alongside the Protectors from Makuta's shadow army and the Beasts. Part 2 would have them go up against Makuta. They would manage to knock the MOUP off Makuta's face the explostion destroy's Umarak's body and frees Makuta's spirit from the MOUP. Makuta's spirit returning to his Protector body. Makuta would have a change of heart and realize his mistake but before he can fully apologize. Umarak's Spirit would take control of the MOUP and proceed to attack the Toa in a form similar to the one G1 Makuta had in 2001 (This wouldn't be a set) Gali mentions the other part of the carving she saw and mentions the word Embodiment. Maktuta remembers what the full carving said. The Toa don't draw from the elements of Okoto They are the physical embodiment of the Elements. The Toa decide what they must do to fully stop the MOUP .They proceed to feed there elemental power into the MOUP. They give a speech about Unity Duty and Destiny. This causes the MOUP to overload with elemental energy causing it to explode destroying it and sending Umarak's spirit into the Shadow realm. The Toa are caught in the explosion and but there spirits return to the stars. The episode fades to black and when it fades back in. It cuts to Ekimu and Makuta telling the story to a group of villagers and saying that if evil returns they can call on the Toa once more This is where Bionicle G2 would have ended. So what do you think. Do you have any ideas how Bionicle G2 could end?

Thanks I'm going to be adding more trans purple in the final model. And as for the weapons. I was inspired by something recent to make them that way. I won't say what but it will be clearer on the final version.

Honestly I'm fine with the decision to end it early. Though the fact were not getting the MOUP is a big dissapointment. I guess I will be using the red and gunmetal Umarak mask as the MOUP. I think they could at least give us the instructions for JTO Makuta's design seeing as it is a combination set of 2015 and 2016 sets.

Thanks I think I'll also do a smaller moc in the same build as 2016 Ekimu just more evil looking and with Chi Sir Fangar's Cape

Alright then here is the lxf file. Keep in mind that not all of the 2015 parts are available yet So the Ldd version is highly unfinished. But its does have the general structure that the real moc will have. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/mc/makuta_titan.lxf

I've already have a WIP titan Makuta Moc built. I just need to wait for an order from Bricks and Pieces to finish it before I can post pictures. I don't plan on entering the contest but I do want to support it with a Moc. I could post the Lxf file if anyone is interested.

I found an official set that uses the technique I specified. Chen's staff in Enter the Serpent.

Another trailer dropped. Looks like Umarak is living up to his new Destroyer persona

Isn't Pythor still alive?

Can you do the magma monsters from episode 9 and 10? http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/nexo-knights/images/c/c1/Lava_Gorilla_Dude2.png/revision/latest?cb=20151012012638

Considering Echo Zane is a new figure and not released everywhere yet it would take some time before he's inventoried. But Nadakhan doesn't have this excuse. And I have a gunmetal pirate hook in my bricklink wanted list. So I would know when one became available.

Please move if in wrong topic. Why hasn't the Ninjago Minifigure Nadakhan been inventoried yet? Both Bricklink and Brickset don't have his individual parts inventoried (save for his ghost tail piece) This annoys me as I want to get the gunmetal pirate hook that Nadakhan has but don't want to buy a whole figure for the part.

Is it just me or does the MOUP look a little derpy? I think its cause the eyes are so far apart.

If there possesed statues. Does that mean they won't talk and act like the actual villains?

The trailer look really good. And surprisingly The jaw piece actually looks good on Umarak when its right up against the mask. I might have to see if I can replicate that on the actual set.

If they don't make a new piece for the hammer. I expect they would use the Chima Hammer fist piece in transparent blue with 2 pyramid slopes on each end.

What color has Lego made the least number of parts in? Other than maersk blue of course. The color has to still be in production.

Got Quake Beast and Umarak the Destroyer today. Didn't bother building them as the instructions said but instead applied the mods I've been working on in LDD. Destroyer looks a lot better. I tried so many different ideas to improve Quake Beast's function but without using the sideways gearbox. After attempts that either had no friction or were to fragile. I ended up using a very simple method that keeps the general looks Quake Beast had but removes the sideways gearbox.

Just got Splasho Skrubz and Lewt in the mail today. I'm loving the design of Lewt and how unique he is. He is my new favorite Mixel design thus far. I hope he gets a good voice actor in the cartoon.

Then why is it used in the sets Glomp and Glurt that way?

Maybe since there done with stone armor variants. Nya will get her Rebooted outfit.

Does that mean we have all the stone armor variants?
