Nekchir Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Do you know where specifically? london, ontario Quote
Toa_Bomb Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 What exactly is super-special about Kulta's build? Honest question. As I see it there's nothing particularly extraordinary about his build other than the chest plate sitting one module forward and two modules higher on the torso beam than it does for the other three humanoid skull villains. Nothing really, I just found it hard to build the first time around. Dunno why I said that, actually. Quote
GK733 Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Nothing really, I just found it hard to build the first time around. Dunno why I said that, actually. Kulta is something you can do just by looking at the picture... he's that simple. Every other skull set is harder to build. (though I have reverse engineered all of them couple of times but then again the pieces to build him were a mystery). Quote
The Outsider Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Ah, so they're racists now, are they? Height wouldn't strike me as the most obvious means of discrimination, especially for a children's toyline (Dr. Seuss used star-marks as an allegory for race, if I recall) but then, these are fantastical creatures we're talking about. =P I think we're talking about different species here, not different races.

Scarilian Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 The transparent Gali and Tahu masks today, so completed the transparent set if anyone wants pics; Kulta is something you can do just by looking at the picture... he's that simple. Every other skull set is harder to build. (though I have reverse engineered all of them couple of times but then again the pieces to build him were a mystery). Personally i think Basher is the only one i was not able to build prior to release, given his function remained obscured for a long time. Jeebus, SW's comically short. I'm gonna have to order longer limbs. And I don't get how Kulta can have that super special build and only be as tall as Tahu. ;-; I was excited, lego It worth noting that if you plan on getting longer trans-blue CCBS pieces, you'd also need to find another longer piece to replace the bones given the asymetrical design of his body and legs specifically. Would be interested to see what you come up with though :3 Quote
GK733 Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Part of Slicer's boxart not obscured by him found on VK. It's not that much but oh well. Quote
Aanchir Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) I think we're talking about different species here, not different races. Well, in a fantasy story, the terms are often used somewhat interchangeably, at least when referring to types of fantasy people (elves, dwarves, goblins, giants, and the like) rather than types of fantasy beasts (dragons, sea serpents, manticores, gryphons, and so forth). Tolkien popularized this fantasy usage of the term "race". That arena picture is really cool! I'm loving the architecture of the Ancient City! Edited July 21, 2015 by Aanchir Quote
PenPlays Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 The transparent Gali and Tahu masks today, so completed the transparent set if anyone wants pics; This more than ever makes me want to pay the extra money for these lovelies. That photo is excellent! Quote
TheOneVeyronian Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 The transparent Gali and Tahu masks today, so completed the transparent set if anyone wants pics; *snip* Oh, they do look beautiful together It really makes me sad though that I will probably never have that Gali mask, even if I sold half my Star Wars minifig collection to raise the money needed, because it's so rare. I still need to find somebody who'll sell me their trans-clear Hau actually, I think I might have left that one too late as they've climbed in value again Quote
Dorek Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Loving that arena artwork, I hope we get more like that. Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) Does anyone have DCPIs? Found them: Skull Warroir: 204-00-1101 Scropio: 204-00-1507 Mask Maker vs Grinder: 204-00-1118 this is all I could find. It appear whoever entered these into the system mispelled Bionicle and put Bionacle http://brickseek.com/target-inventory-checker?dpci=204-00-1461 Edited July 21, 2015 by LegendsOfNinjago Quote
Toa_Bomb Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Gaaaah Merlin P Mann is posting pictures of him posing with the summer sets why usa why ;-; Quote
Takanuinuva Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 So I caved in and bought the remaining 4 protectors I didn't have. Water, Ice, Jungle and Earth. I already have made some mods to them. But I need to make some Bricklink orders before I can show them off. Quote

But I need to make some Bricklink orders before I can show them off. Which is your favorite out of them? Why had you only gotten Fire and Stone (shush, I'm still learning the names!) until now? Quote
Dorek Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Y'know, that reminds me, I still don't actually have Protector of Jungle. Only 2015 set I'm missing. I keep waiting to see if there's going to be another GWP. Quote
MakutaOfWar Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 I'm at a loss between Vizuna or Korgot of who my favorite Protector is. I love Vizuna's bow weapon(makes for great posing), but Korgot has a gun built into her, if that doesn't show character then I don't know what does. But then again Narmoto is a badass Japanese-esqu name. Quote
Takanuinuva Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Which is your favorite out of them? Why had you only gotten Fire and Stone (shush, I'm still learning the names!) until now? I got PoS along with all 6 2015 Toa as my first Bionicle 2015 sets. I was going to to mods of the Toa and I needed more Dark Orange pieces for Pohatu. I got the PoF another time along with LOSS cause I had Flinx's Ulitmate Pheonix and I wanted to make a Mod of PoF using the red beast feet and the Chima large fire pieces.. Since I am getting all the Skull Villains. I decided to grab the remaining Protecters I didn't have to complete my 2015 Bionicle collection. As for a favorite. I'd have to go with the PoF in terms of his build Quote
The Outsider Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 I prefer Korgot; she has elbows, and I'm not very fond of weapons that need to be held by both hands. Quote

But at least he's close by. Not going to buy him yet; waiting until LEGO Store gets Ekimu vs Kulta. Edited July 22, 2015 by Phoenix_Flare Quote
Toa_Bomb Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 TTV just posted a video "Bionicle Summer Sets Available in USA" but it's set to Private. EXPLAIN, GUYS Quote
IllustriousVar Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) There was an audio error, had to reupload :p The sets are available on toysrus.com though, in case you were wondering. Edited July 22, 2015 by IllustriousVar Quote
The Kumquat Alchemist Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 There was an audio error, had to reupload :p The sets are available on toysrus.com though, in case you were wondering. I hope that reflects their actual store inventories, at least in most cases; I'd be willing to accept Toys'R'Us markups in exchange for early availability. Quote

Oddly enough, from what I have seen TRU does not put markups on sets until their release date. I've seen it mentioned before that maybe they have a special agreement that lets them put the sets out a week or two early only if they are at MSRP for that duration of exclusivity. Quote
Nekchir Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Lol I KNEW this would happen. Oh well, at least I put the money on Amazon. Quote
Toa_Bomb Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 There was an audio error, had to reupload :p The sets are available on toysrus.com though, in case you were wondering. Oh I didn't count on you replying. Yeah, I saw the new one. Thanks for getting back to me on it though. Quote
