My channel has occasional Moc showcases on it but has been mostly this format of video for several months now, this is a different room and lighting situation from about a month ago though so it may look different
Sorry in advance for the novel😂 I got Gali Mata first and my memories surrounding that event are just as clear as what you described your memories to be. I lost a baby tooth and it was unusually painful. To cheer me up, dad handed me $10 drove us to our local Toys R Us. I remember this distinctly because this was such a rare occurrence; growing up, my family didn’t have a ton of disposable income so this was a big deal to me at the time. I walked in with the intention of getting a small Lego set, but something about the brand new never-before-seen Bionicles in the Lego section drew my attention. I brought “the blue one” home, built it, and fell in love with the snappy ball joints and sockets. The next morning, I went over to my next door neighbors’ to show my childhood best friend my new set off, only to discover that he had just gotten Kopaka! Absolutely wild. I don’t even know if we realized that the mask game was an official feature of the sets but I remember clashing them together over and over to see who could knock the rival’s mask off. We must’ve done this for hours. I also vividly remember getting Onepu in a Happy Meal soon after and that blew my mind. This new thing I had just fallen in love with felt like it was everywhere, and all at once, including at McDonalds! Even as a kid, it felt like a true phenomenon. I just turned 29, and those memories are PRICELESS. I adore this line, and still do. I think I’m the biggest fan of Bionicle now than I’ve ever been.
Also, I can help you with your canister dream I beleive! I would love to help; I have a whole box full of canisters. I know how you feel, I remember begging my mom to drive to a McDonalds all the way across town to get a Matoro Mctoran in 2001 because my brother had the Toa! hahaha
my first Bionicle set was Pohatu mata, lost his mask and most of his pieces ended up after I restored my collection in Pohatu Nuva, got all of the Toa Mata complete even with some Canisters (with sleeves), instructions and posters.
I can't imagine I would be sending donations persay for a handful of reasons, but mainly the idea is to allow for kids to be able to enjoy the same things I did when I was there age
I scaled them to 40% I *think* though these ones may have been scaled proper already. Unless you mean compared to official masks in which case I would say the Baterra is perfect glatorian scale while the Olmak/Vizon mask is huge but in a way that feels appropriate. It captures the scale of both source masks very well!
Usually because of embargos on full reveals, Lego controls when certain sets are allowed to be reviewed. Ashnflash just put out a video on the Super Sonic vs Egg Drillster set today!
i had the sonic stirckers sheet in the 90s and it had all kinds of badnicks. And that fish qucikly became my favorite badnick. So want to get it but there is no way i'm getting the boat... To me this is not a very sonic thing so i'll pass.
Aaron claims VPs aren't as important in deciding an election. Id argue otherwise, that trump wouldn't have even won in 2016 without VP Pence to sure up the evangelical vote that helped push him over the edge. People tend to forget how close 2016 was, barely 70k votes which Hillary if she was actually paying attention to and campaigned better in swing states, she probably may have won (& I say this as a Bernie fan). They're not the be all end all, but VP's do have a little effect atleast
yer not supposed to kill the warden, also nothing else *can* wake it up aside from the player(s) however my preferred strat is to blitzkrieg the city (set up a bunch of double chests on top of the portal structure, then fly down, break a chest to get all the items, then fly back up top and empty inventory; repeat until all chests are gone) if Mojang had implemented their "stone chests" idea then I wouldn't be able to do that also I can only do that with end-game gear as it requires an elytra, but I can still raid the place if I find it early game with a bunch of wool I think I prefer the city being completely empty to add to the existential threat, instead of being semi-inhabited; noice ideas tho
Hey, I love your videos. Genuinely of the more informatic, thought invoking, and actually useful bionicle content out there. I think you would benefit alot from a better camera honestly, it looks like it's filmed on a webcam. Keep Crushing it Skybird!
The way mojang frames it, it seems to me that no, the ancient city ISN’T supposed to be a late game structure at all, you say standing a chance against the warden but the thing is you’re never supposed to stand a chance against the warden, that’s the point, the ancient city is supposed to be an any-time structure because the one single threat is supposed to be no less of a threat late game
I like to think of how to fix this messed game, and love to see people sharing their thoughts, especially when they actually understand the problems. Looking forward to the next videos in the series!
I like these sets, I just hope they expand beyond the classic games and include references from other games like Unleashed or even the Archie comics if this series of sets are “profitable”. (I hate looking at it that way but that’s all Lego sees)
This is a very impressive moc and exactly what I had in mind for a jungle beast set. It feels like it could be something Lego would release in that wave, so cool!
the fish badnik is called Jaws (real creative I know) and yes, it does have eye stalks in the genesis games! the version in this set seems to be modeled more specifically on how Jaws appeared in Sonic 4, at least to my eyes, but admittedly the design of this badnik in particular has been remarkably consistent throughout the series
I am totally misremembering then, thank you!! In my head I was remembering it being round in Sonic 1, but I could easily be misremembering that, or I could be thinking of a completely different badnik lol
