Gatanui Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) Lol, the format of the picture plus the telephone number on the top made me think it was an email sent to retailers or something (which I realize now is pretty stupid - what would a search field do on an email?). Guess I was wrong about THAT so the image itself is not fake. Still skeptical about the content. It seems strange the description would make no reference at all to the masks (which the very first official statement did) except for the MoC. -Gata Edited September 29, 2014 by Gatanui Quote
GK733 Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Could Lords mean Masters? actually. But yeah, a link to that article could be nice it's a pain to search through their news page. http://www.exoforce.ru/ Quote
WARHEAD Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Zhodopasik has been used in a previous Russian fake set list, I'm pretty sure this is a bunch of bull. http://www.rusbionic...php?f=11&t=6627 Reposting because it probably got looked over in the hype. The thread name is "The master plan" and it includes fake set lists and images of sets that don't exist. From 2008. Quote
Loki Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 I'm wary of fully believing an unofficial source with regards to the story that's planned. It'd be weird for Lego to continue the old story, considering some of the major complaints new fans had with the old story (too large, too convoluted, too hard to follow, etc...) and to start off already in that pitfall would lead me to believe Bionicle wouldn't be back for all that long. 'Course, it can still be a reboot even with that information although post-apocalyptic settings are getting kinda old for me at this point. Either way, I'd rather wait for a more official source.

Gatanui Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) Unless we get more and convincing information, I think I'm going with fake on this one. -Gata Edited September 29, 2014 by Gatanui Quote

The thread name is "The master plan" and it includes fake set lists and images of sets that don't exist. From 2008. Well, I guess that answers that question. The image is made to look like it's from exoforce.ru's "news" page, but no such article is there. It's hard to imagine that only one person would be able to see the site and grab a screenshot before such an article got taken down. Just another person toying with the hopes of fans who are desperate for evidence of a continuation. Quote

Mattah12 Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Unless we get more and convincing information, I'm going with fake on this one. -Gata The fact that it wasn't a reboot made me want to believe :( Quote

Huh, so I guess I may actually have been right about what I said above about the authentic header and fake body - except that it's not an email after all. :P -Gata Quote

TheDesuComplex Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 The fact that it wasn't a reboot made me want to believe :( A reboot is a much more logical way to start the new series off, shedding the old story and creating a new, stronger, more durable one. Quote
Frozen Assasin Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 There is such a thing as Google and its translate function Yes, and aliens exist. Seriously ? Google ? Those set names where prototypes,but the people on this site didn't believe it. Quote
arc Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Ah damn, I got excited for a second there. I really want to believe that this was an article that got taken down, but I just can't see it. Oh well. Quote
WARHEAD Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Yes, and aliens exist. Seriously ? Google ? Those set names where prototypes,but the people on this site didn't believe it. The thread mentions photoshops and praises the creators for how skillfully they are made. Drop it Quote
Frozen Assasin Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Okay,good. I'm a Russian bionicle fan and it was an joke on you guys. We(the russian community) all are very sorry. Quote
Gatanui Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) We can take a joke. Try harder next time, though. ;) -Gata Edited September 29, 2014 by Gatanui Quote
Voxovan Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Okay,good. I'm a Russian bionicle fan and it was an joke on you guys. We(the russian community) all are very sorry. KNEW IT. Didn't want to believe, but knew it. Meh, way to ruin somebody's dreams Quote
Aanchir Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) Okay,good. I'm a Russian bionicle fan and it was an joke on you guys. We(the russian community) all are very sorry. No problem! It created a bit of confusion, raised some people's hopes and lowered others', but in the end no harm was done, and little things like this help keep us on our toes as a community.

Cheatster9000x Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 So I went into paint.net, and made a mockup of Omega Tahu (That's what I'm calling him, as with the others) with the old Hau: I think it looks much better now. Quote

Vinyl Scratch Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Buh, got hyped up for nothing. Kind of makes me more excited for the real story to get revealed though. Quote
stevethesquid Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Ha, I'll admit I fell for that. Make it post-apocalypse sounded real cool, but the biggest tipoff was the fake name. Shouldn't have gone with that. Quote

Timeline15 Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) edited to avoid continuing the discussion about the Russian joke, and potentially starting an argument. Edited September 29, 2014 by Timeline15 Quote
