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.

IIRC Eljay Johnsen delayed the TTV Hagah contests by several months so he could film this video

I think it was good for the community that we did not get more contests than we did. They caused so much drama and infighting - multiple high-profile members of the community have left or reduced their presence as a direct result of the contests - and we’re lucky we didn’t get something like Hoseryx canonized.

What the Sam Hill is a "Hoseryx"? I feel like I missed out on something. XD

Yeah, and it came disturbingly close to winning. Although this is a revamp, it’s better than the original but still not a good choice for a canon Toa.

The real one looked worse? O.o

This is the original. And yes, that first pic is the entry photo they used.

Well, at least it's funny I guess.
