Sweet! :smiley:

The Nuva Miru was certainly one of the better masks from the Nuva wave.

Please be mindful of other people’s opinions. We’re all friends here. =)


OFFICIAL MOD NOTICE: We are veering seriously off-topic here! @RaptorTalon, @VictorianPanda, if you guys wanna continue the discussion (in a respectful manner) please do so in a separate topic. Thanks! Happy Boarding!

i will agree with that but HF heroes were bland and obnoxious the story was awful

but eh HF gave me a few great parts packs in Christmas 2014

BUUUUUT We’re going off topic.

so i wonder how kids who are 7 now will feel nostalgic for the 015 sets

Most definitely. It’s a generational thing. Notice how many fans nowadays have major nostalgia for 07/08?

hmm yea I’ve noticed that my major nostalgia is for 01 02 03 and 04

i know I’ll get flak for this but i hated 2006

To each their own.

but yeah, I feel nostalgic to the HF sets, so I doubt that it would be that hard for a young kid (or a older kid) to find them nostalgic, heck! I miss my 2015 Lewa and I want to buy him again! but I do not think that is 'nostalga as much as that is just wanting to have him again.

What, you’re not a fan of chain link fences and moustache-twirling females? :wink:

it was just so much teenage angst in one year

i did quite love 2007 though i love water

can you address this point more?

While I’m really not a huge fan of the fighting underwater dynamic 07 had. That being said, I have fond memories of a variation os this image that appeared on the back of a BIONICLE comic:

I also have vivid memories of this Mahri Nui painting (again from a comic):

Sure, I didn’t like a lot of things about 2007. But boy did I love the Matoran and island worldbuilding they did.

psst, I’m posting all these photos to try and really veer this back on-topic. This is a photo-sharing topic after all :wink:

Uh…

I still don’t understand.

I liked 06…and everything after that.

I think @VictorianPanda is getting at how the 06 marketing was explicitly marketing the grungy, emo-ish teenage archatype with the broken chain fences, Piraka “gang”, lighting and stormy night backgrounds and a known pop/punk band in the commercials.

For the record, I think that’s one of the most bird-like Rahi they released.

I don’t think 08 was going for the same thing. More of a “dark, futuristic caverns” vibe (notice all the hexagons?)

Man, 08 promo art gives me so many nostalgia shivers. :smile:

I try :blush:

Ahhh…that…

I did not care, I loved the sets and story, the marketing…eh…

nothing like 08 and 09…

Freaking nostalga man…

goosebumps

they were my least favorite BIONICLE sets, not because I hate them, but because they do not speak to me, they are not posable, they look kinda awkward…yeaahh…not a 01-03 fan.
