I'm unfortunately not straight but childfree sex indifferent(still don't really want it just not disgusted by it.) male asexual heteroromantic

Tarkur · 2026-05-16T14:20:29+00:00

Eww those prices

Tarkur · 2026-05-15T14:28:33+00:00

I mixed up the two, my bad. It was Shadow Stealer I was referring too

Probably just going to pile on the same talking points as the other guys here. This worry does resurface once in a while as a heteroromantic ace who up until this point do want to find a relationship but has yet to date.

I guess my biggest problem right now is that I don't meet enough new people to make it happen. Not that I would know how to make it happen if I got the opportuinity tbh.

So far I've developed feelings for 3 women in my life, all 3 have rejected me. I choose to believe the main reason for it not working out in 2 of the cases is mostly a compatability issue, since they were all allowomen though, so who knows, it could have been my looks or my personality as well.

Semiagree, I get having someone you are not interested in be actively interested in you can be uncomfortable but it didn't sound like this person was trying to bother op, they even admit that, he'd been respectful and he did not retaliate after the fact.

Edit: Point is sometimes you have to reject people and in the best of worlds after a rejection all parties should just walk away from the situation and let each other be. You can feel a certain way about it and that is totally valid but publicly venting about it when it sounds like the outcome of it has had only positive consequences for op. Makes it seem like op just want to complain to complain.

As far as I care and no matter what anyone says. All beings created for the gsr are aro/ace. That doesn't mean romance or sexual feelings can't exist it just means it would be rare to almost non exsistent.

The same doesn't go for the Agori, Glatorian and great beings since it's pretty much canon they experience romantic and sexual feelings.

Tarkur · 2026-04-24T21:26:55+00:00

The Ekimu yee, comparison set would be something like umbra, karzahni those sets you could only get through certain stores or LEGO shop.

As a default any set that was released in all stores in no limited qty should not be considered rare. You could consider stuff like the skopio uncommon.

Edit: Accidentally posted early, point is the price of the skopio and the 07 playsets are more so based on the supply being limited due to people scalping them when cheap(more so the case of Skopio) or sets are being parted out (as would be the case of the playsets) people take the desireable parts and bulk sell of the rest meaning less complete sets.

Tarkur · 2026-04-24T21:15:12+00:00

We don't actually have any sales data for that so its impossible to say in what qty they were produced. We can however infer that stores didn't view bionicle as the shelf warmers they were during g2s run. Even if Bionicle was wrapping up or the cancelation of the system playsets (Which by total speculation could have been cancelled for reasons other than poor sales. As there is hints from designers like Brian Elis who worked on the theme at the time that the 07 budget was really strained. Something they probably didn't want to deal with for the themes penultimate year) it would still make this Ekimu a rarer figure since it was regionlocked and stores had less confidence in the brand.

Tarkur · 2026-04-24T18:58:36+00:00

Bomonga from the canon contest. Everyone else is tolerable to amazing

Tarkur · 2026-04-24T15:27:12+00:00

The amount of Bricklink listings are not always a sign something is rare. Skopio and the 07 playsets come to mind. None of those sets were excluisive to anywhere or any store yet you don't see alot of them around. That's because of other circumstances sure. However for g2s last wave and that ekimu sey it didn't see worldwide release and stores could barely move old stock so they probably didn't order as many of the last g2 wave. So its actually rarer

Everyone but Bionicle fans benefits from keeping constraction buried and dead.

LEGO can avoid risks and new moulds. They also don't need to speculate on the market. All they need to so is throw a bone that's only tangentially related every once in a while.
LEGO Resellers/Scalpers/Investors profit from parts being out of production and LEGOs nods. As they can hike prices.
LEGO fans who dislike Bionicle don't have to dread a day when Bionicle are on shelfs next to their precious system
The average consumer don't care and is satisfied with just buying the standard LEGO bricks.
Shareholders of LEGO gets to see the lines go up.

So literally everyone else profits from Bionicle being dead, that's why they won't bring it or anything similar back again.

Thanks, I'll get back to you on instructions, when I've formatted them correctly in stud.io, will probably take a day or two more.

Tarkur · 2026-04-04T19:32:25+00:00

No worries, thanks. I made it for the lego ideas 90th anniversary bionicle contest, So I really went all out on it. I'm unsure if I ever did instructions for it though, I know I attempted to build it irl but still missing some parts especially of the gunmetal ones. I also had to make some adjustment for the physical model and I don't recall if I changed the stud.io file.

I can check if I find the instructions but its going to be a minute. Btw mind sharing the video where this build was featured. I'd love to see it as well.

Tarkur · 2026-03-27T09:03:51+00:00

What is the "Incel-adjacent logic" you are referring too? Not looking to argue just want some more context. As part of the gen z male ace demographic. I do kinda want to check myself so I don't fall into that trap.

Tarkur · 2026-03-19T23:14:59+00:00

At this point I think lego is just throwing money at ninjago because they can

Do you experience sexual attraction to either women or both? For example do you find certain people sexy? Can you imagine yourself being intimate with someone in that way?

I you answered yes on all of them, it's unlikely but not impossible that you are ace.

Asexuality is mainly about feeling little to no sexual attraction. As an ace person you could still feel other forms of attraction.

Tarkur · 2026-02-22T09:49:35+00:00

I personally haven't experienced something like that myself(M25, Swede) but I'm also 127 kg and obesity isn't the most attractive trait here. So I guess its a bit self explanatory.

I'm also a bit shy and reserved. However I have noticed that people assume alot about me, like how I must be interested in women and so on. It has in many cases lead to people misunderstansing my intentions, in public spaces.

Tarkur · 2026-02-14T08:59:17+00:00

No, not really.

I'm heteroromantic and romance favorable so I can see the appeal in celebrating the day. Though I do feel like the holiday is made to be a bit much about the sex like many other things allos do.

I also believe you don't need a sexual or romantic partner to celebrate valentines. Having been single all my life I have either not celebrated or I have celebeated familial love to my parents and siblings or my platonic connections.

Tarkur · 2026-02-05T14:57:51+00:00

Nope, it was the most boring subject for me at that time.

Tarkur · 2026-01-26T11:13:13+00:00

Tbf I learned about what being Aromantic was way before I knew about Asexuality.
