I can't be the only one here that thinks the new Bionicles are bullshit? The old ones actually had a degree of difficulty to building them, compared to these three-pieced piles of trash. Opinions?

Dead board but whatever, I'll post my two cents.

On a nostalgia-fueled bender, I ended up purchasing all six of the revamped Toa sets. There are some positives and some negatives, but overall I think they're alright, especially the larger sets.

The builds are simple, although nothing like I remember the original sets being like. The whole Hero Factory snap-on armor thing I have mixed feelings about; there's a lot of permutations you can do with that, but even so, every set looks pretty similar to each other. The design of each is alright and harkens back to the original sets (Mata and Nuva) in a good way. I'm not entirely a fan of the new masks, especially since you can't use them on anything but the new heads, but they're okay for what they are I guess.

What I was pleasantly surprised to discover was the return of action features, and in a pretty smart way. In the original line, action features were phased out over time because the free-moving gears hampered posability; you could make a neat pose only to have gravity fuck you over and make the arm swing back down again. But the new sets have a bit of friction to the action features, not enough to hamper movement but just enough to let poses stick where you want them to. I was definitely pleased by that.

All in all, I think the new sets are alright. Pick up your favorite Toa from years ago and see what you think. At worst, you're only out $15 or $20 (although that hurt my wallet, I remember when the original Toa were $6).

Maybe more people will come here after 4chan was bought by the 2channel guy. Leaks went down and stuff. Maybe /toa/ gets more viral if 4chan changes too much

The swords


 No.161

And this wave we got the new sword piece. That's it

Granted they're all arranged in different ways, and they're also using other parts to spice it up as well, but this is a lot of parts reusing


 No.162

>>161

Any problems with the weapons don't really bother me too much, since it's easy to just swap and mix them with those from 2015 however I like it. The money they save by reusing that part so much probably helps with all the stuff going on in the Toa's torsos and giving even the creatures some functions, which is a more than acceptable tradeoff.


 No.163

>>162

Oh, of course, never that using the new piece that much makes the sets horrible. In fact, it makes them even more interesting as like you said, the bugdet must have gone to something more interesting like the torsos and the creatures

This place is the deadest bitch I've seen in a long time. If anyone is alive and see this, I'm looking to buy and sell some Bionikeks. Full set, no missing pieces, and instruction book must be included. You can keep the boxes if you like, bros.

 No.153

Yeah I wish it wasn't so fucking dead. We even got all our old posts pruned resulting in a mostly empty catalog. Apparently that happens after half a year (!!!!) or so.

It's not much help for the pertinent topic but my preferred place to buy / sell lego is bricklink. Generally better prices and a better community than ebay at least.

Have you taken the brown pill yet, mateys?

it's a tough pill to swallow! The brown pill was founded in 1999 by Sir Reginald Brownpill, who presents and narrates the attached video.

Forget red and blue pills, brown pills are the way of the future.

Video related. Please leave your questions, comments, and concerns below about this radical new paradigm of thinking!f

Swallow the brown pill today! Red pills are for fedora fucking wearing faggots, blue pills are for the ignorant masses. Ignore the other le epin /pol/ maymays, this one is the readl deal.

the function of the first 3 series of bionicles were that you turned the gear at the back, and the arms moved. Pohatu wears the mask of speed, so since his body is upside down you can move his legs back and forth instead.

>BZPower is the #1 Bionicle fansite on the internet (It's even sponsored by Lego, that's how big it is)
>Used to be a place for kids and adults to meet and discuss Bionicle
>Now it's infested by SJWs who cry about how there aren't enough females in a toy line made for boys, how some characters can be transgendered if they want to, and blah blah check your privilege etc

I'm scared, /toa/. I grew up with that site, but right now it's a shadow of its former glory. What worries me most is how they're pretty much #1, so that means a lot of new Bionicle fans who will inevitably find the site are at risk of being indoctrinated into the SJW cult. It's even worse that Bionicle is returning, because now that means there's going to be a huge influx of new fans. Fans who'll end up learning how white males are privileged and how you're a racist bigot if you don't agree with the SJW mods there.

I remember hearing that BZPower became a place where crazy Christian kids hang out. Was I thinking of somewhere else?

It was, then all the crazy christian kids became tumblrite teenagers, and now SJWs.

Of course, there is still crazy christians there. They just don't run the place.

to be honest its sad that the crazy christians are more sane than the SJWs.

As someone who used to hang out in the moccing scene a few years ago (haven't been to BZpower since about 2003 though), I can confirm that there's a lot of sheltered homeschool kids and such on those sites. Makes sense, as people in these circumstances quite frankly are more likely to hold on to things like Bionicle after so many years.

Unfortunately it's probably true that many sheltered Christian kids turn to SJWism during their "rebellious" phase, you tend to go from one extreme to the other after all. Even when they don't, then these people tend to be very impressionable and have poor critical thinking skills such that they're easy for SJWs to coopt. One bad apple spoils the whole bunch.
