Childhood toys

[MrBadGuy]

Well I had the opposite reaction: that the image is half mata nui and half makuta, makes sense, no?

It looks a little different, but I still think I'm right


What you talking about dinosaurs?

[Jewish Candy]

Oh, that's from the Flash game? I'd never seen Makuta wearing hau, but eyup that's it.
I still think the hau in the promotional shot is not associated with Makuta - it's most famously worn by Tahu - while I can't find a picture, it's definitely in the movie as a symbol for Mata Nui. Go to the ending bit.

[MrBadGuy]

I wouldn't use a 2003 movie to explain a promotional image from 2001

Not when it comes to this anyway, not much thinking ahead here methinks

AFAIK, this is the only way mata nui was represented back in '01

[Jewish Candy]

Yet the 2003 movie uses the 2001 promotional image as part of its promotion

[MrBadGuy]

The LEGO movie even used a 2001 bionicle promotional image during the film

2001 bionicle lives on

[Jewish Candy]

It will never die :salute:

That mata nui rock does actually show resemblances to the hau. The o shaped mouth, the three cheek lines...? I am the straw clutcher, clutcher at the straws

[MrBadGuy]

The mouth that's ready to receive, the lines and shit

Looks more like onua's mask IYAM

[Jewish Candy]

Exacty what are you saying about Onua
Does his brotherly love for Pohatu extend further than we thought

[MrBadGuy]

I'd say it extends quite far indeed

[Jewish Candy]

I'm glad you noticed that

[Haruka]

Noice, I don't have many kanohi myself

I do have a badass shiny silver hau that came with a cd and a matoran though... think it was called a power pack or sumtim

Oh man, I would love to get the Power Pack. I remember seeing it as a kid, but I could only bring one thing with me. I was passing some days in the grandparents where they had no computer so it influenced my decision in getting the Boxor instead of the PowerPack. I think I regret a little...

EDIT: If anyone is still looking for the Toa Mata, I believe this is a pretty good deal:

I will collect the other 4 related to them then I stop.

[Ambidextroid]

Anyone remember Cube World?



Ahh, good times.

[Haruka]

I think I remember to have seen that toy on TV.

[Haruka]

*Bump*

OK, I really got a "small" backsliding about LEGOs because I got few more stuff and now I swear that I stop . I also admit I have been with the "bug" of assembling with quite some time already, but none of the sets I was seeing on the market were pleasing me. Suddenly BIONICLE is back and other cool sets from LEGO.

I was thinking in getting the Eiffel Tower from LEGO Architecture but one of these days, I found this set from LEGO Creator:

I found it equally cool (and cheaper) so I ended up getting this one, and the dragon is really nice looking , the arms, hands, legs, feet, head, jaw and tail move!

I want to try out the other two options of assembling, but maybe only next month I will go for the scorpion.

Then I got more Mixels. These creatures are really cute and I am interested in seeing how they look like when assembled all together 3 by 3 (again, probably next month I will try that). I didn't get the other 3 available from wave 4 since I am not quite fond of their design but I don't mind anyway:

Two of them brought even smaller creatures (not in the photo), I think they are the minions of the bad guy. I should watch more episodes of the cartoon on-line, but I think they do not pass LEGO Mixels here.

And I also found the Lord of the Skull Spiders when I went to a Toys R Us to look for rare amiibos and as a coincidence they were making a 20% discount in all BIONICLE figures. I did not assemble it yet but I will show photos once I do. My father saw me buying this one and I think he did not like a lot, especially because "you did not get over BIONICLE yet" .

I mean, I don't buy LEGOs for 8 years so I believe it is not anything bad.

As a side note, it impressed me that all these years that I don't enter in the shop, the LEGO section is still in the very place where I used to remember. It was like a sanctuary in my childhood! I gave a peek to the other products they have and I faced a giant box from LEGO Technic. Got 250€ to spend in a Volvo bulldozer?

[OCG]

Nice collection!
Looks like someone has LEGO fever

[MrBadGuy]

I very need to stop spending money, so this means no vintage LEGO from now on

[Haruka]

I also need to calm down, I already did the maths and... yes I must stop for now.

[Master]

Hmm, there's plenty of stuff I've missed out on that I'd have liked to get, such as the first voyager Beast Hunters Optimus Prime (the one with the wings).
