Mandate Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 New York Comic Con started fifteen minutes ago (I live in the same time zone). Let the news start pouring in! Oh, they have been around. Particularly in the Exo Suit. They've been in quite a few sets, rarer as of late thanks to the wonderful implementation of CCBS. But anyway, as long as they don't turn these into clones of each other like the Hordika (easily the worst line of Bonkle, Mistika and Phantoka at least had the art style going for them) or the HF 2.0 sets (very unlikely), I'll be picking a few up. ...also, can someone please explain to me how in the world Pohatu's Boom-a-Boards attach to his feet? I can't see any connection points that would do the trick, not even a friction-based grab system. Quote

I can't see any connection points that would do the trick, not even a friction-based grab system. It's just a connector stuck in the hole in the middle of each boomerang, then plugged into the middle hole of each foot. Quote

They are in the pics that we got- if you look closely at the middle of the boomerangs you can see where the pins are connected into it. They're just hidden on the other side from what we see. Also mentioned is that they might have a way to angle them, which I can vouch for (given that I see a seam on the middle of the circular fan bit). Quote
Gatanui Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 I can see the animation on the BIONICLE website now as well. -Gata Quote
Cheatster9000x Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Did some "element inspecting" on the new bio website. The animation isn't a GIF, or a flash animation. It's a series of compiled frames... http://cache.lego.com/r/www/r/bionicle/content/images/mask-animation-eyes.png?l.r=1412772068000 Yeah. Quote

TheBrickPal Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) I want somebody to convert that to a GIF, if possible. And according to BS01, NYCC is literally beginning now, and their countdown clock is starting over again. The hype train has pulled up to New York City, and all of its passengers are now unboarding at the Jacob Javits Center. We have arrived at our destination... Be sure to follow BZP and TTV's live tweets! I sure will. Edited October 9, 2014 by Puffle Pal26 Quote

Some are saying that due to time zone differences and stuff, the reveal actually is happening another hour (or two) from now. Quote
Timeline15 Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Bizarrely the hype train sounds far more mundane when you find out it was just travelling to new york all this time. It was in space before for crying out loud. XD Can't wait to see what comes of this. Like the pictures we got a little bit ago too. Nice to see that the toa have alternate uses for their weapons, including a foot based one for Pohatu (though I've never seen someone use 2 hoverboards at once before). Wonder what Kopaka's gonna do with is weapons... Edited October 9, 2014 by Timeline15 Quote
GK733 Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 We got excited a little too early.

Yeah I did some math and it seems to be about two hours from this in my local time. Quote
bacem Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 ok, my comments on onua, since his pictures seems to be appearing several times here: 1) anybody realize that the bottom part on his chest printing looks like 2 mand giving a thumbs up? 2) that shovel/shoulder armor piece is awesome! and it seems it has 2 clip bar at the end of it, so we could probably add some claw to it. 3) onua himself looks awesome too. he will be the first one i get.

Nekchir Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 So...About 2 hours left in MDT? The suspense is killing me! Quote
Lord-Vorahk Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 though I've never seen someone use 2 hoverboards at once before). Wonder what Kopaka's gonna do with is weapons... Mr. Miracle says hi. Also, I'm thinking skis? Quote
Nekchir Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Guys: https://mobile.twitter.com/TheJonathanJuan/status/520240692610990080?p=v Quote
GK733 Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Mr. Miracle says hi. Also, I'm thinking skis? It's not possible to attach them as skis to HF legs. I think he just gets a snowboard. Forms the blades similiar way like Tahu or just attaches the shield to his legs. Havinkg them as skis is not out of option but I don't really see it happening with those connections. Quote
Floundie Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Makuta? Not Teridax? Edit: Woah, this is cool!! Edited October 9, 2014 by Floundie Quote

GK733 Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 "#Bionicle2015 is going to be a soft reboot!!! That means @MetalChibi has to hurry the hell up catching up with the original story :-P" These guys trolling? Quote
