Black lines are the same length. This logo is hilariously messed up. I only pasted the tiles on the S to prove that they were clearly going for a tile-built look and failed with D and T.

I'd rather not confront that perspective because then we can go in circles about what the true universal value of materials are. I think market price is far and away the best way to rank things by supply and demand at the same time and don't see a point in using any other metric unless you're trying to talk about just supply or just demand. If you assume an economically ideal market for an object that is completely unique, supply and demand should trend towards a maximum price where only one person is willing to buy it. Or else they'd sell it to the person willing to pay more. This isn't a perfect model because as people have said, it rarely changes hands. But if you're trying to normalize the supply demand and price of an object to compare to others, I'd guess that the only way you can do that is by assuming a perfect market. If you do this for any unique piece, you get a supply and demand of one, but so far the platinum mask has the highest price. It really doesn't make sense to me to isolate supply or demand from each other or from price. For example, if you isolated demand from price, I think it's easy to say that every lego fan would happily want a chunk of platinum for free, regardless of the price. TLDR I think price is the only way to compare this stuff.

It is a production piece, depending on your definition I guess. It's an authentic lego piece made for the purpose of being owned by a customer. I think that's what the OP meant, because he clarified by saying "no prototypes". This isn't a prototype, misprint, mold test, or anything similar! Sorry about getting the picture wrong, didn't double check. I also wasn't aware that the brick hut guy publicly stated how much he paid for it. Sucks to be the kid who sold it but from what I heard he was on his way to selling it to a jewelry store for the raw platinum when he noticed the brick hut and sold it there instead, so that's good. In the original post, there were two questions asked: 1) what's the rarest, most desirable piece, and 2) if that's not the most expensive, what is? I was answering the second question. You can go in circles all day about what's the most desirable, but the most expensive production piece isn't up to interpretation. And personally, my most desired piece would be the most expensive. Sell that bionicle mask and you can buy dozens of gray lattices.

All of these answers are wrong. The Platinum Avohkii is a bionicle mask given away in a promotion in 2003. There is only one in existence, and of course since it's made of solid platinum, it's worth a lot. The current (third) owner bought it for $15,000. The first owner got it for free, and it's not known what the second owner bought it for, but it was certainly less because he bought it for the sole purpose of resale. Here's a pic of the mask with the current owner:

Not surprising that many of the constraction fans here aren't active posters; there are already two forums on the internet dedicated specifically for constraction. Of course people are gonna stick to those. And complaining that constraction fans generally aren't very interested in system is pretty hypocritical because the fast majority of system fans don't even consider constraction to be lego. Let people enjoy what they want. For example, most of the sets I buy are system but I stick to the bionicle community cause it's what I know and care about. Yeah the bionicle community is pretty toxic. But I assure you that with the nature of rumors like this, the least common denominators came crawling out of the woodwork. You're joining a dramafest and then complaining that everyone you interact with is toxic..??? Which doesn't make sense. Go interact with constraction fans outside of drama threads and you'll have a much better time.

I have an idea for a feature. Even when I set the view in LDD to the view I want, the program often renders lots of empty space around the model. This means if I want a high-resolution image of my model, I have to do an even larger render, then crop it. I'd like to see a feature where you can crop the image in preview mode before rendering, and then pick the resolution of the frame you made. The input boxes could be locked so they stay at the same scale of the box that you draw, or you can pick whichever values you want and it will make a frame starting from a point where you click. I understand this would probably be difficult to implement but I hope you'll consider it in the future :) I drew what it would look like: http://i.imgur.com/T34AdYu.png Also, is there a way to manually edit what color values Bluerender assigns to each LDD color? I'd like to be able to tweak some, or add my own colors that LDD doesn't include.

Aqua does not render, and light royal blue looks like aqua. Here's a comparison of all the blues between LDD and Bluerender, with dark gray for comparison: aqua shows up darker than dark gray. I'd say a lot of colors could use some tweaking. also how do you delete comments?

Was having problems with release 5, getting the test build of 6 fixed my problems. Love the speed of this program!

It looks like somebody copied your moc, and somehow got 10,000 votes for his project. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/98263 Is what I assume true?

Ha, I'll admit I fell for that. Make it post-apocalypse sounded real cool, but the biggest tipoff was the fake name. Shouldn't have gone with that.

Some older stuff there, neato :D Hopefully they're working towards getting a more complete index of bionicle, because that would be amazing :D

I had the big guy already built, then I went on vacation. I was rushed to finish the second one, so it may not be that great :P And check your filters on BL, because the green chests are only international! They come from a store that gets lots of mold tests, but they won't tell me how they get such awesome recolors D: But if you like painted bonkles, check out some of the stuff I sell :D http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?showtopic=9129 Whoopsies, I saw the 'action' and mistook it :P Thanks! I was going to have the slug more covered, but I fiddled around and liked the trollish face XD Rush build, and you know it :P Note how I didn't even have any natural light to work with except on the first pic, which I managed to snap before dinner :P
