why is it that people have the mindset that ccbs is âindestructibleâ then make posts like;
Its absolutely stupid.
every toy can break over time.
its not a shocking thing.

I feel that the old system is more complicated and you can do more unique things with. But, I honestly prefer CCBS because it is much more user friendly. I have always found it easier to create good looking creations. Also, it doesnât break. Itâs both durable and complicated enough that good creations can come out of it.

Donât mean to bash, but hereâs my opinions:
The 2015 Toa are quite a good example. They blend good old style technic building with the simplicity of CCBS. The new 2016 Toa are even better, with custom torsos and unique limb designs for some. Also, the Star Wars constraction line blows many older sets out of the water with its complex use of parts, back coverage, and interesting pieces.
Go to MOCPages right now and look up a few Bio-builders. I guarantee they have used CCBS in at least one MOC of theirs. I highly doubt the credibility of this claim also. Heck, look at Shadowgear6335. Heâs a high up MOCist who uses CCBS shells quite frequently, even on his self-MOC Minion. Plenty of MOCists use CCBS all the time. Also, here are some really good MOCs that use the system in some capacity:
Tigerclaw by RaptorTalon
Souzan, the Queenâs Firemaiden by Patrick Biggs
Korgot, Protector of Earth by Patrick Biggs
Gellen, Fallen Toa by Commander Spencer
Kopaka, Master of Ice by Kyle Peckam
The Remainder by Jangbricks
Queen of the Skull Spiders by Jangbricks
True, but not impossible. A good way to do so is by using the leg design in this MOC or this way as I did in one of my WIPs. Self-plugging indeed. Personally, I believe it creates a challenge for the MOCist, and what fun is MOCing is there is no challenge?
I understand what youâre saying, but thatâs not what many people mean by âspecializedâ. What many mean is that something like a Mata limb in most cases can only be used as a limb piece, or an Inika head for a head. In CCBS, a chest plate can be a chest plate, leg armor, arm armor, back armor, a foot, a snout, anything the user desires. Also, do you think System bricks are too specialized because they can only connect with other LEGO bricks or copy-cats rather than say, a normal action figure? And considering the new armor piece coming out, which you can see on 2016 Kopakaâs lower legs and Tahuâs upper legs, as well as the creature bodies, pin and axel holes are making a return.
The system isnât perfect, but I think come next year, itâs going to boom and become even better than it ever could have been.
Again, I donât want to sound like Iâm bashing you or hating your comment. I believe you put forth fair arguments. And Iâm also glad you werenât one of those people who complained that it wasnât complex enough or wasnât too detailed looking and therefore wasnât a complex system. Thanks for that. If you want to hear more and get one last link out of me, I recommend watching Nickonaquamagnaâs Mega 2015 Toa review, which pretty much sums up my opinions on the system as a whole.
Thanks for the good debate, my friend!

Youâre way too frickinâ late
I was able to convince him as to how useful CCBS was a long time ago and has used CCBS on the last two iterations of his selfMOC.
Also you underestimate the fact that Maethorneth has been on MOCpages for three or four years and seen at least two or three of those MOCs you mentioned.

Sorry, Maethorneth! But my points remain, and they address others with the same complaint as well.

I grew up with G1 and I have to say, I prefer G2âs style and system. No I havenât MOCed with them, because I like how they look. None of my G1 sets are in one piece.
Personally I like G2 because you can use its parts for any line. And I have no desire to mix G1 pieces with G2 pieces.
Sorry bud. A designer already did that for you.

Limb and body pieces, I really should have specified that, huh? Weapons can be used with anything. I once tried to make the sword of Guts with Jaller Mahriâs sword.
