In-Dept Detail/Info

The Elephant:
Ok, one thing that sticks out from this entire set is this:

I’m aware that the contest prohibit uncanny characters, so I have to make this a doll strapped with explosive to bypass the rules.

ok, now thats out of the way…

Set Base:
The set is based around 2006 Ignition Trilogy / Voya Nui Saga and a mixture of the commercial/promo, to not get confused with Piraka Stronghold, I must remove certain feature and replace it with “uncanny” stuff to avoid making this looking like a “redesign”.

Set Info:

Price: $79.99 USD / 79.99€ / £69.99
Ages: 8-16
Pieces: 1011 (not including extra ammo’s)
Minifigs: 6

Obvious New Molds Needed:

New body (while the figures used exist, I would more prefer legs swinging back and foward)
Printing
Weapon for all
etc.

Design:

First off, I don’t know why I picked Reidak face for the front gate
I tried to mimic the Toa/Piraka weapons form their official set/story and the Piraka were executed poorly

Scraped:

Like I mention earlier, some stuff were removed to avoid relation with the official sets (and I don’t want to make another $120+ set)
I also planned to only have all 6 Piraka rather than Toa, but stuff got out of hand

Price:

The only reason why the piece-count goes under .10 per-piece is due to the lack of specialized pieces needed and the amount of small sized brick usage.

Minor-Post Change:

After finishing rendering all (except for one), some stuff felt alittle off, so I change some minor stuff.

Logic:

Yes, im aware that the battle from the Toa Inika and Piraka first started from the Stronghold, but you can try to imagine this is else-were
Few pieces needed to be removed to fuse the 2 building
Some design were off-putting, especially the mirror and cage (probably the reason why I put Hakann and Zaktan)
~~i was drunk~~
LDD connection is ###, while the rules mention only legal connection is available; some of those legal connection does not process correctly in the program; forcing the entire set to be different from what I interpreted to be-

and yes, the bull does work:

I love all the references to the individual Piraka commercials.

Distraxx · February 10, 2017, 3:17pm

Yo yo, Piraka.
Jokes aside, this is pretty cool. It reminds me of the Piraka rap, but it has the play set feel from 2005-2007.

Oonie · February 10, 2017, 3:31pm

Something about this one just makes me think “fun” and that’s pretty cool. Nice work!

Huichelaar · February 10, 2017, 3:43pm

Love how many different things are incorporated in this. Shame the bull among other things isn’t connected to the main gate.

Kardax · February 10, 2017, 4:10pm

Love the references to the trailer and the function implementations, the weapons are pretty cool too.

cqbchase · February 10, 2017, 7:08pm

Needs a recording booth so they can record more rap

Ghosty · February 10, 2017, 8:22pm

THE ARM THING

Alex_Twenty_Two · February 10, 2017, 10:08pm

HA!

I love this!

And how did I never notice there was a Hau on the bull ride?

Jack_Frost · February 10, 2017, 10:18pm

Ha! Just yesterday I said that someone needed to make a Reidak rodeo thing, and look what we have here.
This is perfect, absolutely perfect.
Also is that good guy with TNT attached to him in the catapult?

Garnira · February 10, 2017, 11:47pm

Haha that’s awesome. Beats the karz out of the Piraka base that we did get.

AdamusTheFirst · February 11, 2017, 12:03am

This looks really well done. Nice work.

SR388 · February 11, 2017, 12:06am

the gang is on the loose at piraka.com…

Fidda · February 16, 2017, 4:50pm

Im not really a fan of system, but that’s a great price for something like this

and I love the bull

wheatley1138 · February 17, 2017, 1:22am

I’m kinda surprised that so far this is the only entry (to my knowledge) that actually uses the mini figure versions of the toa/piraka

FuegoDeCera · August 4, 2017, 11:27pm

The only thing this set needed to reach perfection was Hakann’s shark cage from his individual commercial. But oh well, at least it has that timebomb which also counts a reference.
