Mandate Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Look, to be honest I'd just like to see someone selling the new head/gold pistons on eBay rather than anything else. I would buy it as long as it wasn't some stupid auction and it was priced reasonably (as reasonably as a pre-release can be). Trans Hau is going to be expensive and beautiful for a long time Quote
Chimaninja454 Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Ok, I have come up with opinions about the NYCC reveal: Trailer: It is a interesting but similar to MNOG teaser. I like the Slizer-Throwbots vibe in Okoto (not planet, but element-wise terrain appearance) but looks like Mata Nui, where the original BIONICLE was set from 2001-03, and I like the shape of the island. Sets: All the Toa/Masters look nice, especially Tahu (after watching TheThreeVirtues' review of 70787). Fortunately Front said that the mask/head click connection has been fixed, so don't worry, and the gearbox piece looks cool. Good to see the classic gears feature coming back, as well as the Nuva-esque features and three masks in each Master set to attach to the head. Posters: They look very cool, including Tahu, Conclusion: I must say that the new BONICLE has a good story, nearly good as the original. but I'm just asking why the Chima font has been added to the new BIONICLE?

SirPuddings Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 It's the same font it used to have, only this time it is Bold rather than Regular. Quote
Chimaninja454 Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 It's the same font it used to have, only this time it is Bold rather than Regular. Does the font look really good? Quote
GK733 Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) Does the font look really good? I don't really get what you are saying. It's just Trajan Pro... http://www.fontpalac...janPro-Regular/ It was used in old BIONICLE and the new BIONICLE has a bolded version of it. Edited October 11, 2014 by GK733 Quote
SirPuddings Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Does the font look really good? I.... I guess. But you can take a look for yourself on the bionicle website. Quote
Mandate Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) I can't really see them telling the bulk of the story through 1-minute animations, or books for that matter. It's really odd that they'd do so much to bring back the feel of MNOG but then simply use it on mini-movies and promo artwork alone. While the books can tell a good amount of story, taking a look at LEGO's most recent "big" themes where the main story was neither told through the books or canon (at least not in NINJAGO for the most part, can't talk for Chima) it's very odd if this is the entirety of the media for the new BIONICLE is compromised of books that are mostly unplanned (and unwritten) and short films. EDIT: We also need a cool song again. Preferably not as theme-centric as Chima's or NINJAGO's, although I do have a bone to pick with even BIONICLE's best songs.

Agent Fusion Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 I doubt it will be one-minute long animations. I think they will be at least 10 to 20 minutes long. Quote
Mandate Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 I doubt it will be one-minute long animations. I think they will be at least 10 to 20 minutes long. Someone mentioned a few pages back they were around 1-minute long. I would LOVE to be proven wrong though. Quote
Agent Fusion Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Did they? Well, that's somewhat disappointing. Quote

The website looks really cool indeed, including the Trojan font on the website... Quote
SirPuddings Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Someone mentioned a few pages back they were around 1-minute long. I would LOVE to be proven wrong though. Yeah, at the panel they said the Mini Movies would be around 90 seconds long per movie. Quote
Zmanwithoutaplan Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 I found a website that has a decent layout of the bionicle 2015 series as well as other series/sets coming out in 2015. link is provided below. http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/2015 Quote
Darking Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) So, I don't know if this has been answered already, but which shade of brown is used in Pohatu? Edited October 11, 2014 by Darking Quote
AdaptingChaos Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) I dont know if anyone has cleared this up, but Pohatu does include trans yellow bone pieces. As I remember coming across it many times in the parts bin, full of Bionicle 2015 parts. Also I was so glad they let me take home the MOC that I managed to make. I ended up stacking on a bunch of those new gold add-on pieces. I could provide pictures for later if you guys really want to see them. Sadly I only have one trans purple piece. And a load of Gold Miru's.. Edit: I have now looked through the pictures in my phone and yes the pieces are trans neon green. It must've been the lighting from the Lego store that must've made it look much more yellowish than it is. :( Oh how I wish they were actual trans yellow.

Jetrax99 Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 You sure they are yellow? As in Surge 1.0 Hero Core yellow? Quote
Agent Fusion Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Yeah, at the panel they said the Mini Movies would be around 90 seconds long per movie. In that case I would assume that the books told most of the story, while the mini movies primarily showed off the action scenes. Quote
AdaptingChaos Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 You sure they are yellow? As in Surge 1.0 Hero Core yellow? I have checked my Surge 1.0 Hero Core and I can say Pohatu's bone pieces is not that color. They are much more yellowish. Quote
Agent Fusion Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 I have checked my Surge 1.0 Hero Core and I can say Pohatu's bone pieces is not that color. They are much more yellowish. Interesting, in a good way. Quote
Mandate Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Don't hold your breath on the books. All of the recent "big" themes' books haven't pertained to the main storyline, NINJAGO is a big offender of this (Especially in the second year) and Chima's are optional for all I know. Traditionally comics have carried the story for the most part, but MNOG was huge in the first year of BIONICLE so I'm really hoping we get something like it (given the trend of recent LEGO web games... and the "every kid has a phone" mentality... and the lack of any confirmation... it's very unlikely) Quote
AdaptingChaos Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) Interesting, in a good way. Im pretty sure I have a picture on my phone, sadly it has no more battery. Once I charge it ill see if I have a picture to link to you guys. Edited October 11, 2014 by AdaptingChaos Quote

Comics or graphic novels would be great, though. Quote
dviddy Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 You sure they are yellow? As in Surge 1.0 Hero Core yellow? I have several from the event as well- they are trans neon green. Quote
Cheatster9000x Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) A lot of things over the past few days have made me sad. Not as in Bionicle itself making me sad, more that people have seen, held, taken home, and even reviewed the new parts (and in Tahu's case, sets) and masks, and I've been sitting at my laptop drooling at it all. And then I realise that I'm probably going to have to wait until November-ish to get a hold of any of it... and I get very sad... Also, to anyone that was at the MOC-event, did they have protector masks? Also, how do the new guns fire? I NEED TO KNOW EVERYTHING Edited October 11, 2014 by Cheatster9000x Quote
