arc Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 I'm hoping for at least an HQ image of one of sets, preferably tahu. Quote
Shakar Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 If we get a set, I'd prefer another Toa, we've seen Tahu a thousand times and we know how he looks. I know it's going to be Tahu though. :P 2-3 Toa would be the best thing. Quote
Dorek Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Don't mind me, I'll just sit here watching the expectations climb higher and higher until eventually it settles around an "EARLY RELEASE DATE TOMORROW" kinda thing. Quote
Aanchir Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Technically yeah, but the Lego colors are officially called "fluorescent". Glow-in-the-dark colors, you mean? No, they're not. The three glow-in-the-dark colors the LEGO Group has released are called Phosphorescent White (1990–2005), Phosphorescent Green (2006–2011), and Glow White (2012–present). Fluorescent colors are something different. They kinda-sorta equate to what Bricklink calls "Trans-Neon" colors, but there are some exceptions (Bricklink's name for Tr. Flu. Blue is Trans-Medium Blue, and they conflate Tr. Flu. Red with Tr. Med. Reddish Violet, which they call Trans-Dark Pink). Quote
DuckBricks Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 It's not really LOSS anymore, it's Skull Krata/whatever the weird name is. If it's Skull Krata, then I'd say it's going to be a case of "buy multiple of the set because this is going to appear as a massive army!", it wouldn't be the first time LEGO has done this. I mean, all you need to do is look at year 1 and 2 of NINJAGO, or see the story explanation for multiple Meca-1s in EXO-FORCE. If the name is still LOSS, then I doubt he's the the head of the Skull Spiders, despite the name. Given that it's practically confirmed that this is a continuation now, I'd assume there's going to be some Titan-sized villain. I thought we decided a few pages back that the "Skull Krata" image is older than the display image and thus his official name is LOSS... Quote
SpiderSpaceman Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) They'd have had to release it with all the CBBS in silver. Haha, clever. Don't mind me, I'll just sit here watching the expectations climb higher and higher until eventually it settles around an "EARLY RELEASE DATE TOMORROW" kinda thing. Oh man I wasn't thinking about it 'til just then, but they could pull an "absolutely no putting on shelf before the first of the month" like they did with Chima - though I did get lucky and bypass that once before with a PotC set...

Grima Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Oh hey look, it's that forced meme again. This thread has been filled with "HYPE TRAIN!!!1!" and "LOL omega tahu" surely one little Mustache Tahu isn't going to kill you Quote
Bfahome Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Don't mind me, I'll just sit here watching the expectations climb higher and higher until eventually it settles around an "EARLY RELEASE DATE TOMORROW" kinda thing. Every announcement is full release! This thread has been filled with "HYPE TRAIN!!!1!" and "LOL omega tahu" You say that like it hasn't been obnoxious. Quote
Timeline15 Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Alright lego, I'll meet you half way. If you won't make him glittery, make him glow in the dark instead, okay? Also, I had no idea the mata had fluorescent eyes back in the day. that's cool. Quote
Grima Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 You say that like it hasn't been obnoxious. It has been obnoxious. That was my point. If that sort of obnoxiousness is everywhere, I don't understand how one little reference to a different, less obnoxious joke is what he complained about. Quote
DuckBricks Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 I'm hoping for at least an HQ image of one of sets, preferably tahu. I know, I was really hoping for an HD lineup of the new Toa... Quote
Nekchir Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 I just want something like an more specific release date, or a teaser for collectables. Quote
Mesonak Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 I don't know why everybody's getting excited; you know they're just going to officially launch the website (with nothing special on it except the MoCr). :P Quote
Kalhiki Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 More info Friday? Cool beans. But seeing as how NYCC is going to be the big reveal, I won't expect much. I'm in the "website reveal" boat, but hopefully there'll be at least a bit more. Release date would be nice. I want to know if I'll get Bonkles for Christmas. Quote
Chimaninja454 Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Why are the term "Bionicles" replaced by "Bonkles" ? Quote
Mesonak Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Why are the term "Bionicles" replaced by "Bonkles" ? It's a joking misspelling. :P Quote
Chro Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Why are the term "Bionicles" replaced by "Bonkles" ? We are a wholly illiterate fandom. Quote
Mesonak Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 We are a wholly illiterate fandom. Also that. Quote
InfurnallDragon Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) When I first saw "Funmetal" in this thread, it was before I read it was a typo on gunmetal. I imagined shells with a mix of all colors of the rainbow in the plastic, like party confetti. I can totally see Takanuva in the entire color spectrum since he is a toa of light. Plot twist: Takanuva is the Kaita sum of all toa. Edited September 22, 2014 by InfurnallDragon Quote

I'm pretty sure January was confirmed by lego in a comments section (I think someone posted a screenshot a few pages ago) so if you're in the US and willing to pay TRU you should have them by Christmas.

Matsuoka Nui Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Perhaps maybe they'll launch a countdown or something on the webiste (for the new bionicle.com)? I mean there are a ton of ideas that can go on for this friday's update. I know we had countdowns in the past (like the one for the Barraki?) *look at the other posts* Man I really missed a ton of those jokes while I was gone. XD But the're epic! For a minute I thought funmetal was meant as an error for "fullmetal" XD (oh gosh, there goes my anime side) However, regardless what the surprise is, I am sure it'll be at least more news and info. *shrugs* Quote
Nekchir Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) <p>I mean, I want to know the exact date in January. If it comes out a couple months early in Europe or something, I might just import the sets. Edited September 22, 2014 by MonkeyChud Quote
