Timeline15 Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) Here you go guys! The f*** did they do to Tahu's mask?! Lewa looks just as odd as he always did. Ready to taste some jungle. Gali's weapons can be put on her feet, cool. She also looks much calmer, thank the great beings. Still can't tell how the shoulder armour attatches. Pohatu is basically unchanged, but apparently has a tornado around his feet. what? Also, confirmation of silver rather than white. And his skull spider s a scorpion. Kopaka is cool, and still overly bulky. Mask is good at least. Are we really not past the printed chest plate phase? It almost never looks good. Pohatu and Tahu's weird scar thing on their chest is daft looking. The mask in LoSS had the same energy ripples as the MoCr.... hmm... Edited September 28, 2014 by Timeline15 Quote
Dorek Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 I like Tahu's mask... Anyway, digging them all, even with the printing. Pohatu is silver, so that's good. Gali's design is the most changed, and I like the mask for sure. Also, SCORPION Skull Spider? Most interesting. LOSS still looks dopey, but dat gold Skull... Quote
Mandate Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Pohatu is basically unchanged, but apparently has a tornado around his feet. what? Oh? Didn't anyone tell you? He's the ninja of Stone now. Quote
Takanuinuva Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 No finalized Defenders or Onua pics? Quote
Timeline15 Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) Oh? Didn't anyone tell you? He's the ninja of Stone now. Plot twist: he stole Lewa's air elemental power 0_0. Pohatu is the new velika! Edited September 28, 2014 by Timeline15 Quote
Grima Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) I really preferred the prototype Hau to this one. And yet the Kaukau emerged unchanged from the prototypes, despite easily being the most hideous. Both Pohatu and Kopaka still have the Guurahk staff piece. Time to be smug about being right. (In fact, printing and masks aside, I was right about the leaked images being pretty much final, too.) EDIT: hold on..... are those...... does the LoSS use BLACK 2 stud axles??? after a seven year drought of them, at last they have returned to us. Praise LEGO! (I know they've used them in other sets but they have been sorely missed in constraction) Edited September 28, 2014 by Grima Quote
Mandate Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Plot twist: he stole Lewa's air elemental power 0_0 Lewa's a Jungle Chef now, so no. However, Pohau is speed, right? That basically means he can run around really fast to make a tornado. Hmm, I wonder where that idea could have come from? Kinda ironic, NINJAGO used plot points from BIONICLE and now it's in reverse.

VBBN Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 J2G do you have direct links to these photos? I would like to mirror this news on the frontpage but it would be nice to have them not as part of a video (for users without flash). Quote
Dorek Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Maybe that dagger on Pohatu's back is how the gear function works? Who knows, man... Quote
Gatanui Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Not sure why they changed Tahu's mask that way or why they even felt the need to do so. It's not bad but nothing beats the old Hau. Pohatu looks really freaking awesome. Gali is very interesting, conveys quite a different feeling than she originally did but she looks quite cool. Kopaka's legs are still a joke, unfortunately, but on the plus side they have a very easy fix and apart from that, Kopaka looks badass. Lewa looks cool, too. -Gata Quote
Aanchir Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 No Ignika on the packages. No surprises there... to me, it basically screamed "obvious placeholder". The Hau looks different than I expected, but not bad. Pohatu's piece count was not a typo, which is a bit of a shame, but for what it's worth he looks fantastic. Still not sure what that piece on his back is for. He uses full 2M pins for his boomerangs, which makes me wonder if they snap to some other part of his body. Gali's design looks great, and the new pose shows off her build a bit better. Her axe blades DO work as flippers, and don't look half bad! Her mask looks much better now that we can see it more clearly, and echoes her classic visor. Kopaka has the 6M wide shells on his legs with printing. That's a first! His legs are still a bit strange, but in general I think he looks nice. Lord of Skull Spiders is indeed the final name for 70790. The legs are joined together, which rules out a walking function if the size didn't already, but I can easily see them being designed for a "grabbing" function or maybe a jumping function. Lewa, Master of Jungle is also finalized, but hard to complain when his design looks fantastic. Love his new mask. Even the non-traditional color scheme ends up feeling very natural. Looks like he uses traditional Dark Green (Mata Green). The Skull Spider legs are in fact a new piece, albeit one that resembles the earlier claws from Savage Planet. They look pretty great! Some Skull Spiders like the one with Pohatu have stingers. More like Skull Scorpions that way, but that's not a bad thing. The chest patterns look a lot different than I expected! I had anticipated a more geometric look, but instead they're very irregular, like body paint. I look forward to seeing the other sets! Quote
Jetrax99 Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) Once again, Gali's axe blades become flippers, this time with turbines. Edited September 28, 2014 by Jetrax99 Quote
AyliffeMakit Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Dammit just2good, i was about to go to bed but now you've posted these I'm going to have to spend the whole night staring at them! Some of them look a lot better to me than they did in the prelims (mainly Gali and Pohatu), and some of them look pretty similar. I still think Tahu's new mask is horrid though, i was considering buying him as my only set from this wave but I'll go for Kopaka instead now. Quote
CabooseBM Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) Could we maybe get those pictures in uh, picture form? A youtube video does nothing for me. Edited September 28, 2014 by CabooseBM Quote

Toa of Gallifrey Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Tahu - I liked his prototype mask a little better but this is still pretty sweet regardless. Pohatu - The uneven arm color scheme is weird, but I love the mix of brown and silver too much to care. Gali - I'm actually digging her mask now. And flippers! LOSS - Looks great! His face looks much less goofy without the preliminary stamp. Lewa - Nothing changed, still looking awesome. Kopaka - Once again, nothing changed, still my favorite. Looking forward to seeing Onua and the protectors! Quote
arc Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 I not a fan of the new hau either. It's ok, but nowhere near as good as the original. (It kinda reminds me of the movie version for some reason) but other than that I like tahu. pohatu is really growing on me. And are those yellow eyes I see on him and gali? Not really liking Lewa though, his mask just doesn't do it for me. And I don't like his color scheme that much. Gali is ok, the mask isn't that great, but miles ahead of that mistika thing. Kopaka I think has the best mask, but they had to ruin his legs though. oh well, shouldn't be that hard to fix. LoSS is awesome! (TRANS TECHNIC!) will definitely pick him (her?) Up along with tahu ASAP. Can't wait to see the rest! Quote
CabooseBM Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Could we maybe get those pictures in uh, picture form? A youtube video does nothing for me. Actually first off I want to take a moment and say thank you for finding the images in the first place, just2good. Quote
Shakar Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 I like the sets but blech, I am extremely disappointed at Tahu's mask. Not sure why they felt the need to change it..... I might post some thoughts tomorrow. Quote
Timeline15 Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Why is it that all the discussion worthy news happens when I'm really meant to be sleeping? :P Looking at it again, I really don't mind Tahu's mask, it's just that it was so much better before. I wonder what motivated them to change it. Focus group or something? Welp, looking forward to Onua and the protectors. Quote
Gatanui Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Actually first off I want to take a moment and say thank you for finding the images in the first place, just2good. Right, thank you just2good. Where did you find these? -Gata Quote
Vinyl Scratch Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 god that lewa is GLORIOUS. I really need Lewa by any means, favourite of the bunch and just looks awesome. Probably will pick up Gali afterwards. Quote
