Aanchir Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 While not much, it's still interesting to see. I think you guys are right about it being something at the NYCC though, Will anyone from eurobricks be there? DeeVee mentioned a few posts above yours that he'll be going, and I'll also be attending.

dviddy Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 DeeVee mentioned a few posts above yours that he'll be going, and I'll also be attending. I don't think any Eurobricks staff members are going, but the overlap between members here and on BZP should alleviate any worry about reporting. And, of course, BZP will have a pretty sizable group, with the twelve tickets we gave away, plus a good chunk of our upper staff. Quote
arc Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 DeeVee mentioned a few posts above yours that he'll be going, and I'll also be attending. oh, posts come in so fast in this thread I didn't see that. So I think it's safe to assume eb will have good coverage. Can't wait to see! Quote
GK733 Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Well the new video indicates that the mask will be in a crack and there will purple light rather than blue.. umm... If it even is a crack or the light is from stand. Really nothing more to say thatt the writing is intentionally also backwards and could mean that the text on mask means nothing and is there just for an easthetic purpose. It's really hard to get heads and tails of what's happening in the video rather than giving unsatisfying teasers to make mad to wait for NYCC. Quote
Gatanui Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) I'm honestly quite puzzled by the middle part with those people walking in the background. Is that part of an object they're going to show live at NYCC? -Gata Edited October 7, 2014 by Gatanui Quote

InfurnallDragon Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) I believe this is just one of the MANY platforms every gold mask is hidden in, not just the MoCr. You can see one plainly on Tahu's boxart. It makes sense that they would use more than just blue to display the magical properties of the masks in the final product of their marketing campaign if each mask does something different, so the purple light doesnt really mean anything to me. They are punishing those of us who have looked ahead already (the leaks) by just showing us what we already know exists. The legs in the background are weird. Its hard to tell what they are exactly in terms of shape (to me it looks like a biped wearing pants but that would be so outta place). Food for thought: The Great Beings had to place the masks in Mata Nui in the original plot, could similar plot-purpose entities be performing that now? Other than that I can see this being that video of Gali about to go toe-to-toe with earth defender over the mask in the Pedestal, which got hinted at in a leak somewhere if I recall. Which would make Earth Defender not a badguy but a neutral party who may or may not get possessed by [brain slugs] in BIONICLE fashion. Slightly off-topic: LOL check out that picture chain that started on the Bionicle Facebook post about this. I just now got that you mean that this is a display that is literally in the live presentation. Bionicle mask Kabuki presentation set in Okoto confirmed. Live performance to introduce the new theme (Im being silly). Edited October 7, 2014 by InfurnallDragon Quote
Kalhiki Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Wow! Cool that they made a model of the pedestal for Comic Con. I'm pretty sure they'll either have a replica of the MoCr or the sets displayed on it. Either way, pretty neat. Also, I wonder if the music is just stock music or if it's a hint of Bio15's sound direction. Probably looking too much into this... Quote
SirPuddings Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 That is definitely not Matoran writing.......rest in peace, Matoran. And yeah, whoever attends needs to take pictures, videos, and should probably steal the display. Just because matoran alphabet isn't present that doesn't confirm it's gone for good. While I doubt it will make a return, that video certainly doesn't confirm anything. Quote
gedren_y Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) The empty pedestal makes me think that something has gotten out. One of the leaked prelims was of a spider-like figure, with a gold 'skull spider' mask at the bottom. Could it be that this is where that mask was stored, and it was stolen by some (or escaped to do) evil? Edited October 7, 2014 by gedren_y Quote
InfurnallDragon Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) Whoever wears the gold skull spider could be the controller of all the spiders, even the LOSS? That would be with the LOSS mask being in a pedestal just like the Toa's golden kanohi. The mask itself would be the tool to creating the spiders from darkness, rather than mind controlling mind controllers. Edited October 7, 2014 by InfurnallDragon Quote
VBBN Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 That is definitely not Matoran writing.......rest in peace, Matoran. I think someone else mentioned it on the FB page, but the writing reminds me more of the Bohrok symbols. This is looks more like some type of writing as opposed to being a couple symbols, but that's the feeling I got from it. Regardless of whatever it is, I like it. Obviously Matoran writing existed throughout much of Bionicle, but since 2001-3 it wasn't featured nearly as much as this mysterious writing already has this year. Quote

Obviously Matoran writing existed throughout much of Bionicle, but since 2001-3 it wasn't featured nearly as much as this mysterious writing already has this year. Could be this iteration's Great Beings' script. Someone had to put masks in the pedestals. Someone had to chisel the runes on the MoCr. If I remember correctly, the creator ruins on Bara Magna had a complex (unlike Matorn imo, after staring at it long enough you notice it is stylized Latin characters) alphabet that some of the characters spent years studying, but Mata Nui recognized. I was running some comparisons between the new video and the old one with the MoCr. If it is the same pedestal, it has changed. The MoCr's has 6 wings, each one squishing limited text between them. This display seems to have twice as much text between these wings, which are shaped differently and are less than 6 judging by the circumference of the new one and distribution of the wings on the original. You can sort of see a single wing at 00:14 of the new video of the left edge just behind the bend. Each of the wings of the original pedestal have a tab on them, maybe to place something. This suggests a unison of 6 things that could open the pedestal and reveal the MoCr. That would give it plot significance. If thats all true and the MoCr stand is canon, then this pedestal is for a mask we havent officially seen yet (or it was made in error). I could be off though. I looked at the leaked "final" images and the pedestals of each of those actually look identical. So its probably a bad angle of the pedestal. I still think theres more characters between each "wing" thing in that new video than there are on the set pics and original video. Concealing the masks in these pedestals sort of reminds me of the manner that the golden Hau was hidden in MNOG [Awkward pause of thread traffic is awkward] Edited October 8, 2014 by InfurnallDragon Quote

I just wasted passed about 42 minutes scanning eBay for listings worthy of being joked about in my thread. Do you guys think that LEGO will release something tomorrow on the eve of the new announcement? An extra solitary image such as artwork of a character or photo of the stage theyll be using? I need more thought crumbs to survive on the energies of the speculationverse. They should totally post the ccbs Combiner instructions for fikou already. We know they are going to do it eventually... and if they dont... which of us will have the determination, the boldness, the courage to buy a second onua and mod his mask orange to MoC fikou before they MoC CCBS Boxor & Nuparu?

Xeros610 Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) ^Hope so, well, the purple light seems somewhat intruguing, but interesting at the same time,on a side note, don't think is too probable- but what if they have a pedestal for each mask, so the lights would match their "emphasis color"?- as well as it is almost (like if it was likely ) NON-Possible, it would be cool nothenless...

And for the Boxor... I don' think i require th necessary. so I PASS, altough it would be nice... i am sleepy, i bet tomorrow i'll be entering here and see the things i've wrotten and laugh at my self...

You wouldn't have to paint the mask orange unless you wanted that exact colorscheme (or the inevitable Nuparu), don't forget there was a black Fikou made from Onua and Pohatu. I do miss those adorable balljoint eyes.. Quote
Grima Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 I do miss those adorable balljoint eyes.. Well, Mixel eyes work, if you don't mind a touch of terror to them :P Quote
InfurnallDragon Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) Well, Mixel eyes work, if you don't mind a touch of terror to them :P Thats OK. It lets me trust them more when they have real eyes. What do you think your last thought would be if you died to a Fikou? Mine would be, "I always knew- it was gonna be the fikous." Edited October 8, 2014 by InfurnallDragon Quote
Aethersprite Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Well, Mixel eyes work, if you don't mind a touch of terror to them :P Now you've got that horrifying image stuck in my head...! When is the reveal, anyway? Tomorrow? NYCC is a few days long, if I recall correctly. Quote
Dorek Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) NYCC officially begins Thursday, Friday is supposed to be the reveal. MAYBE they'll be setting up and we'll get a picture of a banner or something, but short of that, everybody should keep their pants on until Friday =P. Edit: I appear to be mistaken, Thursday night is when BZP says the special event is. So, Thursday night. Edited October 8, 2014 by Dorek Quote

Perhaps it's a hint to new music for 2015! Anyone else get a MNOLG vibe from it? Whoever wears the gold skull spider could be the controller of all the spiders, even the LOSS? That would be with the LOSS mask being in a pedestal just like the Toa's golden kanohi. The mask itself would be the tool to creating the spiders from darkness, rather than mind controlling mind controllers. So it could be in a way similar to the Stone Army helmet from Ninjago... Quote
Mandate Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 If they do that it's going to blur the lines between the plots too far for my taste. NINJAGO took some cues from BIONICLE (very few though, I know of only 3, one was debunked before it was revealed [thus it isn't a cue from BIONICLE other than the original notion] and the whole mostly-robotic-tiny-bit organic robot thing with Zane [not really organic at all, unless Julien was very specific in getting the look of Zane *shudder*] is getting changed next year) Quote
