BIONICLE G1 Nostalgia Topic

At least he got actual merch.

My first bonkle thing was one of those '06 extra zamor sphere packs.

Why did I buy an ammo pack before getting any of the actual sets?

Because I was a stupid child, that’s why.

Let’s see.

In 2008, my grandma took my cousin and I to McDonalds. There, we both got cheap Tahu mistika toys.

In 2009, I began to look into Bionicle, and got my first set: Berix. My cousin got Attakus. We loved having them crash and bash and mix and moop and all that jazz.

In 2010, I got Tahu Stars and became a HF fan.

In 2013, I got back into Bionicle and became a hardcore fan, purchasing Takadox off Ebay.

It is now on my bucket list to get the Mata and Nuva off Bricklink.

How quickly did your joints break? :stuck_out_tongue:

Second-hand stores like Goodwill may also have those for cheap.
(My entire pre-2005 collection consists of sets found in Value Village)

The axles on Berix’s shield broke first.

The Visorak were actually the thing that stuck me into bionicle. I had 3 rahkshi, but wasn’t too much of a fan. I loved those Visorak!

The Visorak were the best.

I know right? They were just so adorable yet creepy. plus the color-schemes rocked my socks off. Roporak: Metru Brown and Tahu Red? Perfect! And don’t even get me started on Oohnerak!

I miss 01 when Silver wasn’t a thing…

I really hate silver.

On the subject of colours, I feel slightly nostalgic whenever I come across a stray old dark grey piece in my collection. :smirk:

I pretty much rolled with a lot of the odd decisions made back then (aside from the concept of the prequel years), but set-wise that switch in dark gray really ground my gears. What if I want my Vahki to match my Rahkshi, huh?

On the upside, Toa Metru heads were a welcome innovation (for about a year, then the included eye colors were always either tr-green or tr-orange, yawn). The real boon we got in '04 was the three unique(!) Mata eye-colors from Orkahm, Ahkmou, and Ehrye.



Hello gorgeous.

Fun fact: This is my self MOC’s eye color. :smile:

Very cool! Is it attached to the Metru Gray faceplate, or did you you switch it out with another?

This.


Anyways, on topic, I’m quite nostalgic towards the Bordakh from the Vahki series, due to him being the only set I got in 2004

On topic, yes, I’m also a Bordakh fan, though I got mine from a local retailer in… 2006, I think it was. Couldn’t move the stock fast enough I guess. I’m not complaining- of the Vahki it has what are probably the best stun staffs (staves?) and a really nice eye-base color contrast.

#####Speaking of which, I noticed the plastic color of said eyepiece matches that of Furno 1.0’s Dual Fire Shooter, so I worked them together to create a dual lightning sword/gun thing.


#####I apologize in advance for the grainy quality; I’m a filthy casual who can’t afford a decent camera.

#####I’ve used it in one MOC that I’ve since scrapped for parts, but if you’d like to see it I have a photo or two I could PM ya.

Um… I liked 2002 as a year and I think it gets overlooked (or at least overshadowed) between the foundational/MNOG year of 2001 and the year of unprecedented movie and Rahkshi and Makuta epicness of 2003. Bohrok and roll out!
