Borador Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 it's Bionacle. The photo of the 4 they have been spreading around has the reveal in its file name. You'd think they'd have caught that... Well, whatever. That puts that speculation to rest. Glad Bionicle is coming back, anyways. I never really collected it, but I had some as a kid, and so I always felt it was sort of a "core" LEGO theme. When it went away, it just felt... Well, wrong. Quote
Phamas Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) Announcement is for the pirates! In 4 days, Sept 19th, http://www.talklikea...piratehome.html Edited September 16, 2014 by Phamas Quote
Robert8 Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Announcement is for the pirates! In 4 days, Sept 19th, http://www.talklikea...piratehome.html You could be right but after that little hint in the file's name I would be extremely surprised if this is not about BIONICLE Quote
Borador Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 You could be right but after that little hint in the file's name I would be extremely surprised if this is not about BIONICLE Maybe that "little hint" was meant to throw us off? Because LEGO is just that sly. Quote
Andy D Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) It has all six spaceman colors. Just like the Exo-Suit trailer. Yep, it has something to do with Classic Space. http://instagram.com...dY6/?modal=true, to save everyone the search. If you count the color of the 1x2 plate in the color line-up you have 7 colors. This is the number of colors in the scarf worn by the 4th Doctor. So maybe Doctor Who? Just a WAG Andy D Edited September 16, 2014 by Andy D Quote
Herky Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 for those of us who may not be so smart, how do you find the file name? I clicked on pic and did properties, nothing came up to suggest Bionicle, but I would guess you are correct if you saw it, just wondered how to find it myself, thanks Quote
AFOLguy1970 Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 To me, "huge" news would be something that would impact almost every consumer of Lego. Any given theme might be "huge" to someone interested in it, but to others, it will be a bit less inspiring. My idea of huge news would be along the lines of: (1) a quadruple VIP points day (2) a major expansion of online pick a brick, where they would actually have every nonlicensed piece and color available. Having it at a fair price would also be news to me. Of course, this would horrify many Bricklink sellers out there (3) the return of the LDD design and purchase your own model Bionicle? If this is it, then I am happy for you Bionicle fans. Now, how about some Classic Space? Quote
VintageLegoEra Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 The.news should be a huge impact on us not silly news and disappointing one. Quote
CrazyDalton777 Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 If it isn't Bionicle it could be TLM 2 or the Top Gear theme. Has the minifig scale Minecraft been given a release date? Quote
Lyichir Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Bionicle? If this is it, then I am happy for you Bionicle fans. Now, how about some Classic Space? Oh hush, wasn't the twofer of the Exo-Suit and Benny's Spaceship (not to mention the VIP minifig set) enough for you? Let us constraction fans bask in the attention for once. The.news should be a huge impact on us not silly news and disappointing one. The news that one of Lego's longest-running retired themes is coming back is "disappointing?" Maybe to adult fans who ignored it for the past fifteen years... but believe me when I say that this news is going to make waves. The Bionicle community is already experiencing a surge of activity since the sets were first leaked, and this announcement over Lego's main social media accounts should get the attention of many, many more past, present, and future fans.

Slurpifier Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 I hope this announcement is something we have mentioned. Dr Who or a reboot of Classic Space (which seems unlikely) Quote
Yzalirk Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Bionicle, eh? I guess it's nice to see the return of them even though I don't care for them. Quote
AyliffeMakit Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 And now theres another one! Personally, I'm hoping that because of the TV test card it's going to be a reveal for a TV special/series of some kind. Maybe a TLM spin-off? Or possibly even a BIONICLE TV series.... Either way, I don't think its a reveal just for Bionicle returning or another new theme, that would be too simple, if you know what I mean... Quote
jfbat Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 HUGE, BIG, I'm thinking: new polybags! Quote
Lind Whisperer Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Hmm... Fantastic Four is probably out. The tiles have gotten bigger. Is that important, or not? Also, the color pallet has changed from gray, white, and black to grays, blue, and gold. If it was trans-yellow it would definitely be CS... The only theme that's had blue-gold as a color scheme was the Ninjago Lightning vehicles...possibly they're using gold as being more visible under a camera than trans-yellow would be? Quote
AyliffeMakit Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) HUGE, BIG, I'm thinking: new polybags! Nailed it The tiles have gotten bigger. Is that important, or not? Probably not, judging by the angle the photo was taken at it looks like it was just whipped together in 10 minutes by someone in TLG's HQ If it was trans-yellow it would definitely be CS... The only theme that's had blue-gold as a color scheme was the Ninjago Lightning vehicles...possibly they're using gold as being more visible under a camera than trans-yellow would be? Yeah, I do think that this announcement has something to do with CS due to the colour scheme.... possibly a TV series about Benny? Edited September 17, 2014 by AyliffeMakit Quote
Robert8 Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I guess the little color bars in the countdown images are a clue. I'm thinking BIONICLE will get a TV show Quote
Andy D Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Seven colors of the scarf. TARDIS Blue background... Hmmmmm..... Either Doctor Who or a red herring. Andy D Edited September 17, 2014 by Andy D Quote
Slurpifier Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Im still guessing its Doctor Who or a Classic Space reboot. Mainly due to six CS colours in a line, and Doctor Who's apparent scarf colour. Quote
rollermonkey Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Return of LEGO Studios theme? That would go with the countdown better than anything else, by far. Quote
AFOLguy1970 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 How about the sequel to the Lego Movie? No, of course it is Bionicle, even though many of its true fans already know. Of course, a really good surprise would be multiple announcements. You could introduce Bionicle, a new movie, a new TV series, Classic Space, Dr. Who, the Detective Agency, Cloud City, Minas Tirith, and Elves all on the same day Quote
CrazyDalton777 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Bionicle reboot isn't really LEGO-life changing is it? Oh well. Quote
Gaofar Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 No, not life changing at all. It is what it is, and that's what it is... Quote
Kingriedak Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 not for you system people it isnt, but for moccers like me, its great news. :D Quote
LegoSjaak Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Any reveals yet? It is already september 19th for over 9 hours here.... Quote
