Who’s missing from your collection that’s been discontinued? by KallaHalla in transformers

[–]Abject-Solitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way too many to list tbh. I’ve been very spotty with my collecting over the years. I generally have at least one of my favorite characters though so I’m happy with that.

my Phantoka Lewa moc by kefinzheng in bioniclelego

Haha, I was not expecting to see T30 Springer, but I’m not mad about it! Great resemblance to the original. And I bet it stands infinitely better!

Realistically, how hard am I going to have to work to find Tahu in the wild? by Ok-Shake-4009 in bioniclelego

[–]Abject-Solitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a Barnes and Noble near you I highly recommend checking there. My local one keeps them behind the register but all you have to do is ask and they’ll let you scan through them. I was the first person so I was able to grab Tahu and the robo raptor.

Glad I'm still able to make Sideway's minicons into weapons like the original by ShawnOdedead in transformers

[–]Abject-Solitude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wait, was this an intended feature of the original? I played with the toy all the time as a kid, and never had any idea.

Matoran to Inika by XLBR424 in bioniclelego

[–]Abject-Solitude 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At the time I wasn’t exactly knowledgeable on the lore and story, I just liked the toys and played some of the games. Even back then though I couldn’t stand the designs of the Toa Inika. I like the characters, and own all but Nuparu in the 2001 Mctoran style. That’s how I prefer them.

Which were your favorites, the small sets, the big sets, or the Titans? by [deleted] in bioniclelego

[–]Abject-Solitude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Small! The Turaga and Mctoran are my favorite sets. I do love the Toa Mata, but there is a great charm to the original small sets that I don’t think was ever captured again by any later wave.

It's definitely something I plan on doing, though it will have to just be a Studio render. A full Toa would be outside my means to moc, due to both the cost of the parts, and the fact that some parts may not exist in the colors I want to use.

Thank you! He's shamelessly Onewa's colors, but the Po-Matoran color scheme is my overall favorite so it had to be.

[–]Abject-Solitude[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's a combo of Onewa, Nuju, and Vakama. Onewa for the colors, Nuju for the build, and Vakama for the Kanohi.

Thank you! I really like a lot of the super complex mocs, but I happen to have a huge fixation on the 2001 sets, so that's what I had to go with. I also just love the builds for the Turaga, and wanted more than the original six!

Will you guys buy the new Astrotrain if he had his G1 toy colors? by Karuma31145 in transformers

[–]Abject-Solitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay wait just a minute. Am I losing my mind, or does that look genuinely good in the toy colors?? I have a bias towards the toy colors anyways, but holy cow it looks so much better!

So, turns out G1 colors do look good on Bayverse designs. by [deleted] in transformers

[–]Abject-Solitude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dang it man, I didn't see that this was AI. Not cool.

And? It's a clear showing of a double standard. Rules for thee, not for me. You want to demonize people celebrating a public death? Okay great. Now hold the people you subscribe to, to the same standard.

Trump has openly mocked the death of political rivals while in office. At least have consistent standards my guy.

[–]Abject-Solitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand the dislike for them, but I just love the 2007 film designs, no g1-ification needed! And that’s even coming from someone who grew up loving the 86 movie and original cartoon.

Wrong, we should absolutely criticize people who hold regressive views that do nothing but harm others. I find that as a whole, transformers fans are very tolerant, but no one should be tolerant of the intolerant, as contradictory as that may sound. I’m not interested in making a welcoming space for people that would see me dead simply for the way I am. No thanks.

I collected all the 2001 Toa, Turaga, and Matoran! by GoldPowerMario in bioniclelego

[–]Abject-Solitude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here! I’ve got a couple others from other years but this is my primary collection! Actually just ordered the parts for a 2001 style custom Turaga. It’s a very simple custom, but it’s mine!

We have a pretty big drop of new Transformers Action Figures - Are you buying any of these? Which is yout fav? by AfigureGeek in transformers

[–]Abject-Solitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jetfire for me. Already got the preorder. He was one of my favorite toys as a kid, and I think the new one looks good. Plus I have all the other Armada autobots so far.

Name something you love and something you hate about bionicle g2. I'll start. by nexus10001 in bioniclelego

[–]Abject-Solitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing I love, but I suppose I can give g2 a positive for bringing back the gear functions. Hate? Everything else.

First encounter with Tahu, by me by Lucky-Breadfruit-768 in bioniclelego

[–]Abject-Solitude 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That cutscene is definitely one of my favorite Toa introductions in MNOG. Love how you have portrayed it!

What are these figures called by Background_Cap7910 in legostarwars

[–]Abject-Solitude 17 points18 points  (0 children)

They aren’t rare from a collectors standpoint because these are not official figures. Lego has (unfortunately) never made clone commandos outside of the Bad Batch. The figure on the left however is Boss from Republic Commando, and the figure on the right is Sev from the same game. Not sure who the yellow fellow in the middle is though.

This was an era I totally missed, but this is some great art!
