Please be honest when you tell me you expect Lego, a company that had the original Bionicle parts destroyed, is going to make a completely new constraction system for the first wave of a "new" series. I mean, just because it uses CCBS people are saying they're "too simple". Too simple... tell me which is more complicated to assemble, a Mata 2001 Tahu or the 2015 Tahu?

~End le rant.~

On a more positive note, I love how the Skull Spider's act like Borhok in the sense that the "mask" from it can be placed on the Toa heads.

With regard to simplicity -

PIRAKA.

Seriously, the Piraka were the simplest sets ever. They didn't even use armor pieces all that much, and were basically identical to one another. But they were still really neat sets with a cool design. Simple =/= bad.

Though, tbh, the weird graffiti-style font and designs they used for the Piraka were dumb. You can't always get everything exactly how you want it, I guess.

Gelu is best Glatorian.

I like the ice types, too. I think the only ones I didn't really like were Nuju's Hordika form, Makuta Krika, and, unfortunately, Strakk. His axe is pretty cool (no pun intended), but he looks like some creepy hunchbacked old guy.

He's one of them. I also like Tarix and Ackar, but Kiina's body design was original and cool. And who doesn't like Dino Rider Fero?

My favorites were always the blue and green ones, probably because there were so many different color variations to mix and match. Usually my best MOCs end up being blue, green, or a combination of the two.

As for ice types, I actually like Kirka a lot. Hordika Nuju and Strakk were okay, but the one I didn't like was 2008 Kopaka. Maybe they were trying to accentuate that he was the most Makuta-like of the Toa with his wings and more gray than white, but it didn't turn out too great IMO.
