I'm sorry if this is a bit to little for a whole topic. Anyway, seeing as Fangz' headpiece is connected the same ways as the Hero helmets, can it also be attached to a hero factory head? This would be great as you could make you're own hero character with a gunmetal color scheme.

I wasn't complaining, I was rather discussing and/or giving advice on the topic rather than calling it out. I love this forum, the level of system and control is incredibly great and is most likely why this board is so succesful. How about we have our own topics and and posted them in here aswell? Then this would work as a libary/source, then there would be new topics so people could easily spot the new heros and there will be a libary that you can look for them? I think that would be great. Also I still see alot of Heros around here that still isn't in this libary.

Thanks for the feedback, the agori head is attached with a "Leg with Ball Joint and Ball Socket, Short" and the back plate is simply attached with a Pin Connector Perpendicular 3L with 4 Pins, nothing complicated. I noticed that my thread was gone, I see what you're getting at and a general topic for this seems like a great idea, but in another way, it does not. Having one thread that doesn't show the title of the custom heros and will lose the chances of people seeing them, thus resulting in inactivity on the forum. I imagine it would be a bit sketchy to have to visit this thread everytime you want to see a new hero, as having their own topics in the forum they'd be easier to spot. There was a bit to many LDD/HRT creations popping up for a while resulting in a bit of spam, but that was it. I see that this thread is made to make it easier to share but I don't really think it would work in the long run. Either just forbid people from posting LDD renders or something anything really. Though you could create a topic discussing simple techniches with the new parts. This is what Hero Factory has become, they made alot of it very simple so there isn't that much variety, but that's not our or eurobricks fault. When Bionicle was here you didn't see a Toa thread, so why start with this now? This forum is already filled with alot of basic heros with little configurations, I don't see the problem in this as what I said earlier, this is what Hero Factory is. So please, let us have our own threads with our own heros, if an overflow occours, then people can have their own threads filled with libarys of their own heros. Just please not this. But again you're the moderator, and I'm just a member.

Made around June but never got around to take a proper picture. The Skulls on his shoulders are remains of his previous opponents. Though mostly none of the Bionicle masks fit well in the hero factory universe, I thought this lime green Kanohi Matau was pretty fitting for this occasion. Kardos was made to fit in the new Jungle theme from the Hero Factory series, I thought the mask looked kinda like a "totem" face, adding to the whole jungle theme, the random spikes also did a good job. Sadly I do not have a extended body frame in black as the only one available before the second wave is orange from the Fire Lord set, which is such a horrible set. Though the body does match the color of his eyes, but that's pretty much it. Back view. Kardos XL next to a normal sized Hero, he's quite tall, he stands 26 cm from his feet to his head which is more than I expected. Thanks for stopping by, comments appreciated.

I really like the combo of blue and white, I'm glad I picked up those white cores they're great for things like this. I can't wait for the second wave, I really wanna get more of those white cores. Feedback appreciated. Thanks for checking it out, have a nice day.

Made several months ago, though never got the chance to take a decent picture before now. Based on the look of the Matorans who once lived in the other water city of Mahri Nui. I really liked the Mahri Nui Matorans, I consider them the best looking matorans of the Bionicle universe, though that's just an opinion. Thanks you fro your time, feedback appreciated!

Sorry for the super late reply, I updated some stuff and added a proper picture as the previous one was from a broken link, sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks for the feedback you two. Thank you, I worked alot to get everything in the story accurate to the canon parts, glad you liked it.

How did he get to build him in LDD, are the building instructions realesed? If so a link would be great :D

The new jungle themed hero factory products are coming out this summer and I think there's been a large amount of improvement since the first products with all the new parts and has introduced us to a whole new system when it comes to this type of lego theme. It looks like lego has currently "settled down" with this new system and is most likely what we will be seeing for the next years of Hero factory. Onto the products, I know lego products (usually) look alot better on the box, but looking at the finished sets here makes me really want some of these, just look at this! You've probably seen all the products by now, so what set(s) are you looking forward too, and will most likely buy? Your opinions are welcome here!

Their here? Already! Someone by one of these and make a review, NOW! :D

Please watch the video in 480p or more, otherwise you won't be able to see alot of what I'm doing. Just skip the first minute of the video, it's pretty much just waiting and loading, it's pretty boring. Making the decal in this video took originally 70 minutes, making this video took around 1 hour of work and 3 hours of waiting, hope it's worth it. This is the decal I'm making in the video; The purpose of the video is to show people how an average person draw a decal and how much time it can take. Decal design and video is by me.

All of this looks great, fantastic work on this brickforge! May I ask what the coilgun is based on? The Battle Rifles seems to be based off the gun from a certain videogame called halo, I am curious what the coilgun is based off.

Cool.

Sounds exciting, I like the new banner, I hope it will be kept there even after the contest here in the Action Figures section (seeing as the last banner was pretty terrible). And what are considered non-iconic bionicle masks? This was rather unexplained and not thought through.

Cool.

Finally finished this bad boy. For more pictures you can visit the gallery. 7th july 20111 EDIT: Added new picture and link to gallery.

Yesh, today I have a review of a Bionicle set, as we all know (at least most of us?) Bionicle is now a discontinued line, and they are not produced by lego or any other company anymore. But that's another discussion, so we're not gonna get into that. Although they are not produced anymore, it is pretty easy to get some of the old sets from online marketplaces, and luckily I was able to get my hands on this set. Thornatus V9 Set name: Thornatus V9 Set Number: 8995 Price: 59.99 USD Year of release: 2009 Starting of with the box itself. The box shows our lovely vehicle and driver, driving past you without saying "hi!" or anything of that kind, he's just ignoring you and tries to shoot at something that appears to be at your left. The background suggets that he's driving in the night in a dark forrest/rocky-ish enviroment. There's also a skrall shield or something there aswell, but it seems that the vehicle is what that is supposed to get your attention, hopefully. There's also all the basic stuff like age range, set number and all that stuff. There's also a little picture showing that you can have the figure out of the vehicle as well, incredible. On this side we can see our red driver looking right at you (oh lordy!) and standing at a "I am so cool am I right guys" postion on the side of his vehicle, suggesting he's a pretty cool guy and isn't afraid of most things. The back also shows all the features of the set etc. There's also some cute little pictures advertising the other sets. The box is also quite big, yeah, it's pretty big, I'm not really that good at describing how big a box is, so I'll go for a simple answer, it's big. The sides of the box shows screenshots of the Legend Reborn Movie, which is a movie we all loved deep down inside. Inside the mysterious box, oh my! Inside the box we have a couple of bags with lego, we also get the instructions (how generous) and couple parts that were too big for a bag, or didn't need a bag, cause they were too big, or they are not a "bag kind" of piece that doesn't like being in a bag, or something. Also, these plastic wheels roll pretty good, I was afraid that the fact that they were pure plastic would make them bad wheels, but luckily I was wrong, though they make alot of noice. Putting the pieces together! The first bag is just for the figure, I don't remember his name so I'm just gonna call him Peter. So Peter here is just another "Inika-figure" that we have been seeing for years now, and you could probably build him with your eyes closed, I'm gonna be honest, I built Peter with my eyse open, and I am sorry. But the driver is most likely just for having someone driving the vehicle, they made Peter red so that he would stand out more in his Tan vehicle to make the set look more fancy. If Peter was in his own set he'd probably have some fancy weapons, shields or something of that kind, but I'm gonna try to not get too off topic now, I promise! Also, isn't my green wall just, so, greeeen, am I right? Next bag. Before I go any further, I just wanna talk a little about the parts. Like most of the vehicles from 2009, they are using this great base piece in their construction, this set uses 4 of these, and I can see these parts being used to make great Technic creations, my point is that these can be useful, that is all. We'll get back to the building shortly, I just want to say a little more about the parts, be patient! Here are some of the (old) new/intresting parts. In this set you get alot of great swords and weapons in silver, you also get two silver Makuta Krika heads (yay?) and one of those fancy crosshair bullseye piece thing. There's also a great amount of tan pieces in this set aswell, obviously. There's also a pair of the Mahri Nui matoran blades, which you most likely have dozens of by now. And there's the mask, meh I don't feel like talking about Peter's mask right now, moving on. The bag is complete, master. When you're done with this bag you'll end up with the whole front part. The building here is pretty technic-ish, that's all, oh and you get to use the big plastic wheels, which are actually big drills (w00t!). You're also done with the first Instruction book, now we're moving on to the next instruction book, exciting (not really)! Blue blue blue. Buidling the other half of the vehicle is quite harder then the front, you petter stick those pins where their supposed to be, or you're gonna have to take the whole thing apart when you find out you did something wrong, grrr. We also see some great use of the "vehicle base" piece. As you can see, the building gets pretty tricky here, if you do something wrong here you're pretty much doomed, doooomed. Peter is amazed by how green my green wall is, just wanted to point that out. Anyway, after you're done with the whole back part, you are tasked to but the together by some technic-ish-ness, you know what I mean. Yay! And hopefully you're done, here is Peter and his car-ish vehicle in all his glory, and there's by green wall. And here's just a bunch of pictures to get a better look at the vehicle, if you're not that intrested in the vehicle, you can just stare at my green wall, I know you want too. And here's a lovely portrait of our beloved Peter! Sorry the whole vehicle was too big for my scene. Also note that you get 4 midak sky blasters ,and a thornax launcher, making it the most launcher armed vehicle of the bionicle universe! Overall, this set is a pretty nice deal, it might be a little expensive but it's worth it if you really want it, and if you don't like it that much, the vehicle has a great range of useful tan parts and silver weapons. That's my review people, thank you for reading!

Unless they are making some kind of game or planning to return the Bionicle Line then I think continuing the story is just teasing really.

The head is not connected that way in the offical set. In the offical set it had a Toa Metru arm working as a neck. Shame on you.

What is your favorite line in the story through the years of Bionicle? Piraka, Toa Mata, Toa Mahri, Phantoka etc; Personal opinions are welcome.
