Bionicle 2015 Discussion

[Toa of Gallifrey]

I'd really like an RPG like Maze of Shadows. I've always wanted a 3DS remake of MoS and a G2 RPG would be the next best thing. xD

If I ever get skilled at VBA modding, I'm gonna make Rahimon, a mod of Pokemon Emerald

While not the Bionfigs Bionicle Animation you all have been waiting for.

Here's a Bionifigs Bionicle 2015 Stop Motion.

I really like that pose Gali's in at the beginning of her animation, and Onua's is pretty epic.

Absolutely fantastic.

[Mandate]

That animation is really cool, very well-animated and rarely did it look out place.

Wow, that's really impressive! Makes me want the sets even more.

They added sets to the shop http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Protector-of-Stone-70779?p=70779

Meaning we have high-resolution images, if anybody's interested!

odd, when I click on the Bionicle theme link, it takes me to the hero factory page.

It's the weirdest feeling. Just a few months age it felt like bionicle was gone a long time ago, but now it kinda feels like it never left...

[Dorek]

Hooray, hi-res! Somebody should get to uploading those for BS01 :U

Also mrgrgr Sandstorm vs Sandstone. Why they gotta do this, man.

[Aanchir]

I have some reservations about doing that myself. Every time I've tried uploading high-res pics to HS01 it's resulted in some kind of error that I need an admin to go in and fix. Not too keen on having the same thing again...

[Nekchir]

I guess it's a sign that we'll be seeing the figures early in the stores finally!

[Cheatster9000x]

I can't wait... I literally cannot wait.

FYI I can totes help you with this. I have experience in Pokemon modding.

The link is now giving me the Product Not Available page. It works now. Replace the set name and numbers and you can probably see them all fully rendered. I just did the Protector of Ice.

Replacing an existing theme name with Bionicle in the line of a By-Theme link does redirect to Hero Factory.

Stores checked...nothing yet, let something show up, it will be purchased immediately!

[Aethersprite]

Not sure where to post this, and I didn't want to create a new thread for it, so I'll ask this here.

The first PAB store just opened in my country a few days ago (finally) and while I've yet to find the time to make a trip down myself, I'm not too optimistic on the selection of CCBS parts there. How is it like in other countries, or the States in particular?

I haven't seen CCBS parts on the PAB wall in years, so I wouldn't be too hopeful about finding them there. However, if you're missing any summer wave IFB sets, then they have them all, unlike other stores.

[Dorek]

Last time they had CCBS in PAB it was to coincide with the Hero Recon Team releasing (god I miss that service). As far as I know, they don't stock it otherwise. That said, with BIONICLE coming back, they might change that, or we might see similar promotions in the future.

[Aethersprite]

That sucks, but it certainly isn't surprising... What about Technic pieces that are commonly used with CCBS, like Hordika necks or Technic longarms?

[Leewan]

I don't think either that there are many Technic parts in PAB walls, it's mostly bricks, plates and tiles.

You should check this topic, it might help you to see what you can find in your store. :)

Funny you say this. I just posted on BZPower that I'd be quite happy to see a game akin to the main series lego games, basically, you could explore Okoto, make a custom Toa, fight off skull spiders as the LoSS if you so please... Tahu could have fire beams, Lewa could fly, Gali could swim, Pohatu could be able to run faster on a sandstorm, Onua could dig and smash stuff like a bigfig, Kopaka could have a freeze beam, etc, etc.

I actually posted a really thought out couple of posts on the LMB's about a G1 Bionicle game, in detail of how the characters would work, vehicles, story structure, character maker, extras, gold bricks, and all that jazz. It was really thought out and clocked in at about 1000 words iirc. I'm sure I could adapt it to a G2 game. :P

I've been really really wanting a Bionicle game following the LEGO game formula and this is exactly how I pictured it. Hopefully we will get something like this. Personally, I would also love to get a Bionicle game that plays like God of War, one of my favorite game series of all time. Those hack and slash style games are my absolute favorite.

It should be noted that this is probably because PAB walls are used just as often by those who aren't FOLs as those who are. When CCBS was in the buckets I believe that it only lead to a lot of confusion among customers who had little to no idea what it was and how they could use it, and I'm sure Technic is the same way.

Yep, I think this is exactly the case. The only Technic parts I remember seeing on Pick-A-Brick walls in recent years are large Technic turntables.

However, it should be noted that this past year, the LEGO Group started including special monthly parts on the Pick-A-Brick wall with labels like "Works great with LEGO City" or "Works great with LEGO Star Wars". Most of the time, these parts were not much unlike what they stock normally, but who knows? Maybe with BIONICLE's return being presented as such a big deal they might add some parts with the label "Works great with LEGO BIONICLE".

[Chro]

That'd certainly be appreciated. Perhaps they'd put the "Bionicle shells" on there. :P

Nah man, I hope that they put out the beams-with-ball, 3L double-cup bones, 3L bones, or 4L bones... some supremely useful pieces. Or at least, if not in stores then online.
