The build looks amazing ! The lack of direction doens't bother me, I don't think there would have been a proper way to implement it. Of course, it has been done in MOCs. But MOCs are not sets, let's not forget it. Anyways, I'll definitely get it. Probably not in September, but I'll still get it.
-
Yay, mine just arrived !
-
Since all the Defenders have the same face / head, perhaps they're not wearing any Kanohi Mask, but it's their actual face that we see.
-
There might be a simple way to know if Lego or Hasbro holds the building license for JW / the JP franchise : a Lego Ideas project. If Hasbro / Kre-O still has the license, then the project will be archived by Lego because of IP conflict, or something like that, right ?

My design has 17 parts. I think with the weapons, body armor, head and spider, the parts count should reach between 30 and 40 parts, which wouldn't make a 7-8 $/€/£ price too unlikely. BTW, my Tahu has 41 parts. With the lava surf and the spider, the total parts count should be close to 50, maybe 55. I wouldn't want to pay 20 or 25 € for so few parts, even if it's Tahu.

I ordered the Evo Walker and Crystal Beast on Friday, with Vardy, Cragger, and the Exo-Suit. Crystal Beast seems to be popular, which isn't surprising given his inventory. Also, I was surprised to see that the Queen Beast set costs 40€ here. I didn't plan on buying it, but 40€ seems a bit too high anyways.

Impressive, and much inspiring. All the little greebling parts on the legs make the MOC look bigger than it really is. The MOC looks very nice and incredibly detailed. I really like the back. My only complaint is about the azure bone under the cockpit, on the front, it looks kinda out of place, the whole MOC is sharp and detailed, and the two blue balls kinda clash with the overall aesthetics of the MOC.
-
Oh, yes. It would make sense, since at least Kopaka, Lewa and Pohatu seem to use a 2.0 torso. I have actually upgraded my first Tahu MOC (which was more based on what I thought he would look like than what I saw on the first picture), and I was too focused on the limbs to notice that I had the torso wrong. But it doesn't make a big difference, anyways.

I'm in the same case, Lance. My order has shipped a few hours ago, and the estimated delivery date was Sunday too, but it changed to Saturday, while I chose standard delivery (which is even more surprising). I expected to get it between Wednesday and Friday, but I won't complain if I recieve it this afternoon. :D

This video is awesome !

Thanks. Unfortunately, I have no idea of how their armors are made. They'll all look like this, with some variations (armor size / position), but because of their poses I can't distinguish anything. I belive it's Aanchir who pointed out that the fire Defender seems to be built like Toxic Reapa, with #3 armors attached to this, but I know absolutely nothing about the other ones. I think, though, that the fire defender uses a new add-on part, which is shared by Kopaka (and maybe Lewa), and seems different from Tahu's ones. Oops, didn't know that count as a leaked picture, sorry about that. Is a link okay ? (White add-on on golden armor on Kopaka and white add-on on red armor on the Defender)

BTW, here's a more accurate mock-up :
-
Same here, but it was in stock when I ordered this morning, so I still hope I won't have to wait until September 4th before they send it.

Do what you want, it's your MOC, but I think it would be interesting. In fact, I always saw Gipsy Danger as being dark blue, and it's the first time I see a sand blue MOC of it. But I guess you're more accurate, and the mecha probably appears darker than it really is because it mostly fights at night, that's why I tend to think it's dark blue.
-
That guy is impressive ! It indeed has a Godzilla feel, but with huge arms. I have some concerns about the colors, though. I think it would have been nice to replace the tr. neon green parts with orange ones, and maybe add some more tr. bright green. And the head is a bit small. x/ Do you have close-up pictures for the legs and the body ? I'd like to see how this monster is built.
-
Really nice ! Have you tried to color it in dark blue rather than sand blue ?
-
Looks like this to me.
-
Wow, creepy... The face reminds me the Barraki. Bohrraki maybe ? I don't really mind the system parts, because they follow the CCBS aesthetics, but the studs bother me. It might be because there are only a few visible, it makes them stand out a bit too much to my taste. Anyways, I really love the legs, you perfectly captured the original Bohrok limb design, and the Va is great, especially the head.
-
Oh yeah, great ! It's definitely my favorite Jaeger. Now, even if you won't build any other Jaeger, you need to give this badass a Kaiju to fight !
-
It could be a topic for all of your Hero Factory IFB MODs, or even for everyone's MODs (yeah, I'm a total badass ). This idea also crossed my mind.
-
Well, that's the most logical solution to me, so I guess it makes sense that we had the same idea. ^^ Forearms, lower arms... isn't that the same thing ? Also, I think you can improve the weapon's design. I have nothing against a mace, even if I think a staff fits better the slenderness of the set, but it's a bit "weak", IMO. You don't have to use the same design as Mungus' one, but the hollow space between the two spiked parts bothers me, to be fair. Maybe you could build something out of system to fill it ? Or, if you want to go for something simpler, use something similar to Black Phantom and Gorzan's weapons. Oh, and you could create a MOD topic, it could be nice.
-
Yeah, replace the grey bones with black ones. And if you want to add some tr. dark blue, you could use 5M shells on the shins, they would be better at covering the pinholes than 4M shells, and it could be interesting to have two shades of tr. blue next to each other. And by doing that you could use the 4M shells on the thighs. You could also use tr. dark blue on the forearms, it would work just like the shins, but at a smaller scale. :) Can we see the beast's back ? I spot 4M shells behind the shoulders.
-
Thanks, they look nice ! I especially like Burnard.
-
Yeah, I think creating new add-ons is a better idea than creating new shells, plus, it allows more possibilities and more combinations, since each add-on works with each shell (outside the body armors, ofc). I also noticed, in the french community, that some people hate the CCBS and would rather like to see BIONICLE come back with a more technic-oriented system (which is, IMO, stupid, since, even if CCBS doesn't heavily rely on Technic, some sets use some Technic parts, and it is obvious that CCBS is here to stay). I really don't understand them, to be honest...

Just like Friends, and I don't really think Friends is over. There's sill hope !
