Well at least we know they are coming.

Also, premiere cover http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-BIONICLE-Graphic-Novel-1/dp/0316266221/ It's really not much.

I don't know the release schedule for #bionicle2015 summer wave webisodes - but I'm hoping for less leaky.

Cue the official Youtube channel releasing Episode 10 in Armenian, three months ahead of schedule. =P

I'd like to see Metru blue again. I've got a load of classic characters like Hahli Mahri, Gavla, etc, which could really do with a CCBS-flavoured upgrade, but doing so is currently impossible. Shame, since I think Metru blue looks better.

Seconded. I'm still quite amazed that, aside from one fairly limited use Skull Spider mask, we haven't got a single Dark/Earth/Metru Blue CCBS shell yet. It just seems that it's one of the last major colours missing in the CCBS colour palette, and it's pretty high on my wanted list since my self MOC needs them. It doesn't look quite right with Bright Blue.

Pohatu design video.

the 3d prototype looked more like his original kakama.

Now that I see the comparison, putting the two colors on the same figure doesn't actually look that bad. It's noticeable, but not by much.

COVER NOT FINAL

COVER NOT FINAL

GK733 already posted that. :P

I know, I was more poking fun at the placeholder cover. Also there hasn't been anything to talk about.

Hardly any posts in two days....Well, I guess we all know what the next few months are going to be like, until we get the books and animations.

Of course there will be people posting their opinions on the summer sets. :P

i's just 3 more months till we get the Skull Warriors right?

Yup, they'll be released in August. Which means we should get reviews late June - early July. We're counting on you Veebs !

Or we all cross our fingers that the street date is broken.

Is there a reason why Greg Farshtey isn't working on the new BIONICLE?

i want to guess due to how different in setting and such G2 is LEGO wanted to try a whole new team to have a fresh new take on this franchise. heck i think this is the first sequel/reboot/reimagining lego has ever done.

but most likely i am betting GregF is too busy with ninjago and such to tackle this new endevor.

though given how overt the references to time is in G2 and how opposed to time travel gregF was i would lean to the former.

but most likely a bit of both: GregF has too much on his plate so why not let the new creative team work on the reboot of our most popular toyline?

Because there is a kind and loving god.

^If you've got something to say about Greg then say it. ._.

I think most older fans (the kind that frequent this board, at any rate) are pretty vocal about their overall displeasure of the way Greg handled the story =P. Personally I think it's his post-cancellation cavalier attitude that tends to perhaps corrupt people's recollections. 2007 was amazing, and 2008 was still pretty great in its own sprawling way, and it's miles better than nothing at all.

But, I'm also not opposed to fresh hands at the wheel, and I look forward to seeing how the new authors tackle the mythos.

The story serials seem to come under most of the criticism. I can't recall the last time someone vented his spleen on the writing of one of the books or comics (though no doubt it happens.)

I like Greg's writing, though I understand it's not to everyone's tastes. Though I think most fans take him for granted. Things could have been far worse. Greg was at least a competent writer. Imagine if we'd gotten something along the lines of the Legends of Chima TV series.

I will be curious to see how Windham et al. fare. Okoto's just waiting to be fleshed out in prose.

Greg can't do numbers. Let's just leave it at that.

B-But I grew up with his writing. :'P

I mean, so did I, man.

Greg is a good writer. I love his work on the main story. And more than that, he's a dedicated writer. I remember watching his interview with TTV, and he said that he'd re-written forty pages of a book because it had, until the rewrite, depended on him making someone out-of-character. Hey, even when he can't focus on Bonkle anymore, he still gave us a load of information, like Velika, or the Mahri escaping after the Skakdi Fusion fought Annona, or how Matoran are made.

However, that's not to say he's without his faults: He has a tendency to not plan things out enough, which leads to some weird swerves (Ending of Brothers in Arms, anyone?), and then there's the small mater of him having trouble writing female characters, which led to the now-infamous Orde-and-Chiara thing. The latter only really started to stick out in The Yesterday Quest, but the former was a big problem in some of the serials, especially from 2008-onwards (Although I didn't read any of the 2009 ones except Reign of Shadows, because Glatorian and Agori are boring). However, he does that because, when he does plan out the story, he gets bored writing it, which would lead to random changes anyway. I think all he really knew in the last set of stories was Great Being = Velika.

Of course, these arnn't his only failings: The fact that the serials post-07 gained similar bodycounts to a George R.R. Martin story could count as one of them- Some characters like Dark Mirror!Takua and Kingdom!Tanma were literally only there to die and make the readers sad- but I don't think those were too jarring in terms of the setting.

That said, I think we should probably discuss the ups and downs of Greg's writing in the Gen 1 topic.

Tanma died?

The curse of joining a fanbase 14 years late strikes again
