emily Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Shout out to all the parts tubs Lego sold in the mid 2000s because they overproduced Bionicle sets and needed to clear out parts. I accidentally got this one and it's basically a bajillion bohrok arms and Onua Nuva masks with only 7 or so axles that can be used to connect the other included pieces. No pins. So if you were buying a big bin of lego with the intent to build something using it, well, I've got some bad news for you MUCINEXSWEEP, aidenpons and Brigs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure it's the same one, and not another one like this? I mean, I know there was a random element to some of these tubs but if that's the case I really lucked out.

I'm pretty sure It's the 702 parts one, though I could be wrong, I don't have the canister near by to check. Edit: I just realized I also have the Disk of time, so yeah it's the 400 one. I had forgotten that the disk came with that canister. I also didn't realize there were two different tubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they look rather ugly nowadays, but those Black Support 2 x 2 x 8 with Grooves and Top Peg, Lattice on 2 Sides were always fun to build with. I'd create pretty massive towers with those Dark Gray Brick, Modified 12 x 12 Bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Ash Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Nevermind what I said about the KK2 figures; THIS is the most embarrassing Castle set. Period. I feel ashamed that I once owned two of these guys. Nothing unusual for a cheap McDonald's toy, but it's a miserable LEGO product. More hockey figures. Honestly, I have no clue how this crap even got approved by LEGO. Who thought that this was a good idea?!? Is this a Galidor bootleg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised that the LEGO Company decided to make him rare. Literally all he is, is a mini figure with a top hat all in Yellow-Tan(ish) Chrome [Not the official colour's name]. The only reason I can see people buying a Mr. Gold minifig is either for keeping in their LEGO Collection or for the rare parts, but if it's the latter then the price tag set by people selling him is absolutely ridiculous, it'd be like trying to buy a mint-condition Emerald Night from Amazon (with a price tag of somewhere around £300-350) just for the mini figures that come with it, except more than six times as expensive.

emily Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 re: the hockey guys, I love them because they are sports bionicles and also it occurred to me recently that their faces are actually perfect for making Voodoo Heads characters.

TheDiplomat Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Also re: Aaron's post, some of those don't actually look so bad. I'd love to have a small set nowadays where you could get a chrome crown/sword, a horse, a decent enemy, and even some fairly-useful bricks for a castle wall. I mean, yes, it's embarrassing in terms of design, but it'd be a nice parts pack. As for the hockey guys, I never owned the ones you displayed, but I pick up 3557-3559 at a clearance, and they were honestly pretty fun. LEGO Hockey wasn't all bad.

Most of the things in here are a real stretch because Lego hasn't had that many objectively bad products over the years. It's fine to have sets or lines you dislike, I have no objections to that. But to hold them up as "the worst ever" seems silly to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ace Railgun Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I agree with Pranciblad, it'd make more sense to have the thread be titled Least Favorite Lego sets or something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidenpons Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 To me the whole point of the topic was a joke & to have a laugh - or at least that's what I thought - so name changes don't matter much. But I do agree, but I don't necessarily think it's worth changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pranciblad Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Yeah, I know the thread is meant in jest, but it rubs me the wrong way when so much of it is people refuting what other people name because they liked those sets for whatever reason, or people pointing out that sets that were five bucks at most didn't have that many parts therefore they were bad. But yeah, this debate has chewed up enough of the thread already, I'll leave it be now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I might have contributed by defending that castle set and LEGO Hockey, but I wouldn't say the topic isn't working out. It's cool to learn about sets like that lone red brick, or even that lazy castle set; it's just also interesting to hear if people found something good in them anyway. Take Pereki's voodoo head comment: it's a creative way to look at a generally-bad set that might not have been mentioned otherwise, and it also doesn't mean the Hockey sets can't be mocked regardless. I think if everyone just goes in with that mindframe, it can still be a fun topic. Also, how has nobody posted any of those BIONICLE promos yet?

emily Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I found a photo of those babies in the wild (this one I think) and took solace in assuming that they were probably just missing their clothes because the collector who took the picture didn't have them.

Pranciblad Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Apologies for being so negative about people being negative! My last post was meant to say that I wanted the thread to continue not to end. I just noticed peolpe were casting an awfully wide net in terms of "worst set ever." While we're on the topic of pre-brick blunders, I wish i could find pictures of the Lego toy pistol again, but any attempts to search for it just give me gun MOCs instead. Can anyone help me out here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
