“You don’t just have to put ships inside. For example, you could make little

minifig levers stuck in the other ends, albeit not as deeply as if the levers
weren’t in there), you could connect a bunch to a central structure and make
a huge LEGO minifig space colony. Or, simply use them as cargo containers
for your giant spaceship MOCs.”
Now that is a great idea. Except I only have one Bionicle set, so I can’t
build a giant housing complex.

One? Yikes, now I feel like such a Bionicle victim: I’ve got about 60-70 of

right over the little ends of the minifig levers and onto the studs. I’ve
already made one that has a tiny two level habitat inside, with a ladder
connecting the two floors. Another cool idea (when using the Toa Nuva lid)
would be to remove the center Technic Ball, run an axle up through the hole in
the center of the lid, hook a motor up to it on the outside, and have something
rotate on the inside of the canister.

| (...) Pfft. Amateur... I probably only have 40-50 Nuva cans, but I'm well over 100 for the originals. Of course, they pale in comparison to my Bohrok Va purchases. I think I had about 50 of them already when KB dropped the price to $1 each, so I (...) (20 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
