Has anyone spotted the new sets in Germany yet?

I wonder why we haven't gotten the official set pictures yet, considering that they're are going to be out in a little over a month.

Compare the final version to the preliminary one. It looks flat and much less defined. The curved horns have been flattened and they made the chin bigger and less pointy for some reason. It looks much less "elegant" and imposing in my opinion.

I don't like how the final Mask of Control looks. The Prelim version was perfect in my opinion, I'm sure Lego has their reasons, but I'm a little disappointed honestly.

Where?

I don't think anyone would want to be reminded of the Mistika :P Jokes aside though, I actually think that would be a pretty cool name.

I think Lego did the best they could with these headsculpts, they just look somewhat out of place next to the mechanical, streamlined looking CCBS parts. That being said I think the masked figures look a lot better, I particularly like Captain Phasma.

Yeah I've seen the pictures, wich are really awesome! But it would have been really interesting to hear what Christian had to say about them. Oh well, I hope they release the development process of Kopaka's new mask sometime next year. I hope to one day work at Lego as a parts designer (I can dream alright?), so I'm a total sucker for behind the scenes stuff like this.

Damn, that's disappointing. I'm really interested in the design process for Lego sets, Bionicle in particular. It really kinda sucks that people who can't attend events like these don't get to see it.

Did they show any new pictures or did they just say that? Also please tell me that somebody recorded the panel, I would absolutely love to watch it!

His description says he has a bow, so I guess they just decided not to show it here for whatever reason. Umarak actually had the blade in the prelims though, it was attached to one of his legs.

Nah, the Glatorian neck doesn't have holes in the balljoint and its axle part is different from what is shown in the image.

It was thinking that it might be a CCBS bone

What's up with those new armor pieces on Kopaka's lower legs. I thought those sorts of parts were ruled out with the CCBS. I'm not complaining, I really like it, but I'm a little confused.

Oh man, you're right. Those actually look pretty damn cool.
