The episode's still on the website for all countries, except US.

And red.

That's just a matter of adaptation to a system. If some parts wouldn't attach with balljoints they would attach in a different way lol.
-
How would they be less versatile? The would still attach to the rest of the body by balljoints and ballsockets and the longer ones would still have technic pin holes in them, they would just use a different connection for the armor. And how could they be less backwards compatible? There's zero armor pieces from G1 that you can attach to a standard-lenght CCBS bone piece (at least using "legal" connections). How would clips make this even less backwards compatible?
-
This. Hasbro has a similar system for their Construct-o-Bots Transformers figures, but is uses clips instead of balljoints to attach armor. I think that type of connection would have worked much better in CCBS.

Don't ruin my dreams pls ;_;

Well, I don't think they (Protectors, right?) buried Makuta, I think the rocks did :P
-
Guys. I just noticed something. At the end of the video, there is a pile of rocks with a purple light coming from underneath. Then it explodes, just as if someone was burried under the rocks and now has awaken. That purple light might be just connected to Basher, but you know who else had purple accents on his armor? Makuta :o

Well yeah, let's compare a set made entirely out of technic pieces from 2002 to a set that is coming out 13 years later. No wonder those new Star Wars figures feel more like "living character" rather than those statues, so did Toa Inika. That's not the point I was making. Jango and Vader from the upcoming Star Wars Constraction line are looking good as CCBS figures, because their movie counterparts are completely covered by a futuristic armor, there's nothing pointing out that they are organic, you may just say that they're robots in armor and it would make no difference - that's why they look good in CCBS. But, let's take a look at, for example, Chima or, urgh, DC/Marvel ultrabuilds. Those figures are meant to represent fully-organic characters that aren't fully covered by armor. Heck, some of them are just simply humans (Joker, Batman, Captain America). But it's hard to believe that those are organic because of the visible black/gray bones in all places, bones that are even exposed when you look at the figures from some angles (that's another issue with CCBS, that you can cover a bone piece from all sides) or with gaps between the body and the back armor. I mean, yeah, it's Lego, so you can't make a figure like that out of it, and I'm not hating on CCBS, it's a great system, it allows for many things that I wouldn't even dream of during the old G1 days, but still, it isn't a system that should be used for making organic characters (I dare to say that Galidor figures looked more organic than CCBS ones). But that's just my opinion :L
-
Organic characters made out of CCBS still look way too mechanical, so it's not superior to the old system in that aspect. Same thing with big CCBS MOCs - in most cases they're made out of shells cluttered together just like the pieces on that dragon MOC.
-
I can't understand how people can like this abomination more than LoSS. I mean, yeah, opinions, but LoSS at least didn't have an awful chunk of Technic sticking out of his body ;_;

The names were also translated in Polish (not in the website, but in the catalogue). However, my main complaint about the non-unique names is that the translations suck. Seriously, they translated Skull Basher into "Strażnik Czaszka", which basically means Guardian Skull. No, not Skull Guardian, but Guardian Skull. And there's no consistency between the names (like in English they all have "Skull" at the beginning), like each of them was translated by a different person. I mean, I haven't seen that problem in other languages (well, I may be wrong, 'cause I only looked at the German translations :P), but still - problems like that have never existed in G1, when each character had an unique name.
-
Now THIS is how Skull Warrior should have look like in first place. Not that the Skull Warrior is bad, but man, this is so much better! And btw, his name basically means "ugly face" in Polish :P
-
Lego has just released this beautiful artwork of Gali on their Bionicle facebook page.
-
Wow, that's great, loving that crown!
-
You can always use the same parts from other sets (that's what I'm planning to do, because I really like the upgraded version of Kulta, but don't want to buy Scorpio or sacrifice Ekimu).
-
Yeah, they move only on carpet-like thingies.
-
Ugh... Ninjago may work, but definitely not Elves... CCBS isn't that great for non-mechanical looking characters *cough* Luke *cough* Marvel and DC ultrabuilds *cough*. The parents could always write down the set numbers (like mine did when I was younger). Besides, Lego uses names of characters in set names in other lines (for example in Ninjago or Chima) and nobody seems to be confused about that. We could at least get actual names in other types of media, even on the website. Heck, Chima has an unique name for every WEAPON in the line, and yet Lego can't give names to the Protectors.
-
Hey guys, this may be just a coincidence, but... Doesn't this look kinda suspicious?
-
That doesn't surprise me, to be honest :P He's not their best set.
-
Well yeah, that has been known since like... Toyfair? :/

Not sure about the head, but the rest looks gorgeus. Fantastic job!
-
I asked the seller in my local toy shop (the largest in my city) in north of Poland about summer waves of Bionicle and Ninjago and, just as I expected, she said that they will be available in August... so no luck here. But then again, my city is not that big, so who knows how's the situation in bigger cities.
-
If those comics are at least partially canon, it seems that Skull Grinder wants to destroy the Mask of Creation... interesting, I'd say.
