Posted September 8, 200618 yr Earlyier today I purchased my first Bionicle sets AXONN 8733 and TOA NUPARU 8729, I really enjoyed building them Both and I especially enjoyed building NUPARU *y* , Overall I'm very imprest with these sets and i can't wait to buy more Bionicle sets *sweet* Rob Ps I'm intrested in MOCing witch sets do you recomend I buy next ?
September 8, 200618 yr You must be new to Bionicle. :-) For MOCing, I suggest you buy a Titan or large set. However, all sets are good for MOCing.

September 8, 200618 yr You should try to get older sets off eBay, since the new ones, frankly, suck, especially when trying to begin mocing. Get some Rahi and other regular Technic sets to add to the big, annoying pieces.
September 8, 200618 yr ^^^ He has the right idea, somewhat lol. Check for old stuff from Throwbots / Slizers lines, even Roboriders. The gearboxes and engine blocks are mocing gold. If you're talking new sets... hmm. System. System brick sets. Something with a decent amount of black in it, like a Batman set perhaps. I say that because you have Nuparu... get rid of his entire torso and build him one that's a hybrid of Technic and System. It might seem tricky to do at first, but once you get it, it's far more rewarding than what just more Bionicle Technic sets could do for it. And welcome to the world of posable Lego mocs. *sweet*

September 8, 200618 yr You can buy pounds and pounds of bionicle bits off eBay for relatively little money. For 10$ US you can get a single current cannister set. Or, for the same money you can get most or all of the bits and pieces from 5-10 Toa/Matoran from 2001-2005. You're not paying for instructions, for cannisters, or for masks (which can be useful, but usually are not). Besides you can't do much with a cannister. If you buy sets, then you need about a half dozen cannister sets, in pairs, and also a bigger set or two (I recommend Makuta, as he is going cheap these days on eBay and has excellent joint pieces). You need at least 2, but realistically 4 or 6 large sturdy joints, not ball joints, if you want to build anything bigger than a Toa. You can just buy these off Bricklink, but if you get a Makuta set or two, you will have them as well as the associated parts.
