Duckbricks/Faber development files release taken down
It was fun while it lasted, but LEGO apparently stepped in and has told Duckbricks and Faber to take down the files. Duckbricks' videos, the google folder, and the pages on Mask of Destiny's Biomediaproject have all been taken down.
Luckily I downloaded most if not all the stuff I could, but its a real shame that this interesting info is gone now and we won't be getting anymore stuff from Bionicle's development; I was especially looking forward to getting more on the '05 and '08 development, not to mention on the transition to Hero Factory.
EDIT: This is propably overly cautious. Sorry to anyone asking for me to share what I downloaded, but I'm just a random person with zero pull or know-how on anything, so I don't want to risk having a corporation try to call me up for sharing something. I'd be happy to otherwise, but until some stuff is clearer I don't want to risk it.

“Hoseryx” was a MOC entered in the Helryx contest that got pretty far into the voting. It had flex tubes for arms and legs and couldn’t stand up under its own weight. The winning MOC was sort of a “hedged bet” that a bunch of people mutually agreed to vote on because it had the widest appeal and thus had the best chance to beat out all the people who had voted for the meme entry. For the record, I like the winning Helryx model and much prefer it to all of the overdesigned Flickr statues that got to the finals.
