Welcome, one and all!

I bet you can tell what I'm talking about by the title, and if you can't, then too bad for you.

So, what is your favorite BIONICLE set of all time?

Well, I'm certainly not surprised. He was good for parts, too.

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

Ay.

I almost never took him apart until I made his pre-pit.

~A~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

I took him apart pretty soon... his pieces were too good not to be used on something I was making.

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

Oh?

Well, that's another topic.

^^;

~A~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

It would be, if I had remembered to take pictures of the MOC before taking it apart...

Another good set was Sidorak, for both pieces and design. I believe that his left arm/Herding Blade could be swung, his legs and neck had good poseability, and he had several interesting recolors, like dark red Nuva shoulder armor and Metru Nui Matoran torso.

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

Oh?

True enough.

I never did get him, though.

~A~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Eh, I'd recommend him. Not quite over Roodaka, though, as she had silver Rahkshi heads and a glow-in-the-dark 1x1x1/3 round LEGO single-piece as teeth.

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

Ah yes, I saw that.

And High Heels.

XDDD

~A~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Blaargh, the high heels were a bad idea. They didn't have very good pieces, plus they made her unstable.

-|W|G|-

I'd disagree.

Roodaka stands up fine, and I found those Visorak legs (feet?) very usesful.

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

She stands up okay, but you kind of have to get the hang of posing her before anything good comes of it.

I never found much use for the Visorak feet myself...

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

Hm.

Keetonguu was hard to pose.

~A~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Hm... well, I never got him.

Axonn, if I remember properly, was hard to pose with those hands of his, and his huge axe...

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

I swear, that was a nightmare.

>.<

At least Brutaka was okay.

~A~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Brutaka was actually a pretty good set, with all his PearlGold pieces. I still prefer Iruini Hagah, though, for his DarkGold.

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

Ah, yes.

He had a nice mask, too.

~A~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Though it was rather big, I really liked the shape and overall look of the Olmak.

Vezon and Fenrakk was also rather good, with Fenrakk's legs working surprisingly well.

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

I was talking about Iruni's.

XD

~A~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Oh, yes, that was an even more useful mask than the Olmak, actually. Smaller.

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

XD

Yep.

It kinda looks almost like a mini Olmak.

~A~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Somewhat... less evil and amphibious-looking, though.

Back on topic, the other set with a Kualsi was definitely not as good. (Defilak)

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

>.<

I know, right?

~A~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

The BIONICLE playsets were always kind of lackluster, too, though there were a few that stood out.

-|W|G|-

Head Librarian & Game Master Posts : 3659

...care too name favorites?

I always prefered the 2006 playsets; the 2005 Hordika weirded me out, and their were only three different Baraki heads.

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Battle of Metru Nui or whatever it was called was good for parts. Same with the Piraka Stronghold and the Race for the Mask of Life, I guess.

That board game in 2006 was the only set containing elemental-colored BIONICLE minifigure torsos and the Zamor Catapult, incidentally.

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

Some of the sets were okay, but I wasn't too much of a fan.

~A~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

They were alright. Nothing special, mostly, unless you count the later editions of the Tower of Toa. (Turquoise strings and PearlGold Kraahkan, anyone?)

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

Ah yes, that was a good set.

I think I bought it because of that.

~A~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Do you have the PearlGold or DarkGold Kraahkan?

You're lucky to have it. I looked, but Target and Kmart were sold out, I think. I got the Visorak Battle Ram instead, which actually isn't that bad.

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

XD

I suppose.

And Dark Gold Kraahkan.

~A~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Ah, DarkGold is nice. Though you could sell it for a lot of money if it were PearlGold.

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

O_o

Uh, whaaaa?

~A~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

The PearlGold Kraahkan is worth more than the DarkGold...

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

Ah, I get it.

Not that I'd sell it.

~A~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Nor would I, but still, it'd be more worth it just to have it. You can more easily get another DarkGold Kraahkan than a PearlGold one.

-|W|G|-

Head Librarian & Game Master Posts : 3659

I didn't know there was a Pearl Gold Kraahkan!

What set did that come in?

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

It came in the 2006 edition of Tower of Toa. In that edition, they also replaced the green LEGO studded-strings with plain turquoise non-studded strings, which you may have heard of.

-|W|G|-

Head Librarian & Game Master Posts : 3659

Fascinating. Those turquoise stings sound interesting...

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Yep, I'd like to have some myself. The studded strings are kind of easier to use, though.

Tower of Toa I'd always liked, but I think I told the story of how I got the Visorak Battle Ram instead.

-|W|G|-

Head Librarian & Game Master Posts : 3659

I have I story about the Visorak Battering Ram.

It isn't a pretty one...

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Do tell.

-|W|G|-

Head Librarian & Game Master Posts : 3659

I'd rather not. That's between me and Nathan Brown.

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

O~o

Alrighty then. Of course, maybe it's better not knowing...

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

Nathan Brown?

Confused Evil

*Changes name*

Okay, now tell us.

~A~

Fall of the Robot Posts : 97

Beg my pardon? Nathan Brown?

~Max~

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

XD

We don't know Max.

We don't know.

~A~

Fall of the Robot Posts : 97

Oh, that was... unexpected to say at the least.

~Max~
