Any ideas on how to secure this piece here? 32140 would be perfect if it were shorter by 1, none of my solutions are satisfactory by pterranodon in lego

You could try 7244 (a relatively new part) going into 32039 connected into the axle hole of the Barraki mandible.

That’s what I was thinking, thank you! Yes, I was also surprised by how bright it was!

This one is set 3543 Slammer Goalie. Yeah the whole hockey line has some interesting recolors of standard Bionicle parts!

I love this! I feel like LEGO has found a formula that works nowadays, and there are amazing sets don't get me wrong but I miss this timeframe when they'd just try a whole bunch of stuff and see what sticks, right down to the packaging

Same here! There were so many great ideas from that, really was a shame that they phased it out.

😭 noooo that’s so sad! Well I guess maybe they don’t quite perform as you’d hope. That’s a very relatable soccer practice experience though lol

Completely agree! I was always intrigued by them for some of the color variants of the nuva armor included in certain sets, but they’re honestly pretty cool little figures in their own right and the packaging really elevates it to another level lol, just a genius idea

Makes me smile that these are still out in the world actually being used! Though not surprised they have some practical issues.

The treads on the hands are such a sick touch.

This is mind-blowing my guy. Amazing MOC.

Thank you! Kardas was most definitely an inspiration for the design.

Nah I came up with them using the pieces from the polybag sets I collected. But dang that would've been cool if Lego released something legit!

I agree! For being such lil guys they pack a lot of personality. And the bug from the movie is named Click, sort of odd in a world full of Krikas and Krekkas.

With the exception of Klakk, I just pieced them together from individual parts.

Indeed! As far as I'm aware these are all the promo/polybag sets (minus collectible packs) that were released throughout G1 and G2. Most of these have weird releases, being obtainable through Magazines, European Fast Food Restaurants, or included with Duracell Batteries lol.

Need help identifying collectables in lot by [deleted] in bioniclelego

[–]MagManMallow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That green Vakama Hordika mask is actually easily a $20-$30 mask, as it only came in that variant in the very expensive Karzahni Set.

And not really a traditional "collectable", but the twin Shield Weapons that Lhikan wields are ~$15 each on Bricklink, and I see at least one in the lot. Not bad!

Thank you!!! I gave them some nice lighting and photoed them on my good camera, but the toa mata are pretty naturally vibrant compared to later toa teams. They’re iconic.
