Mesonak Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I want to buy like 10 LoSSes Then I can combine them all to form OLoSS (OverLord of Skull Spiders) Quote
DraikNova Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I originally wanted to get 9 PoE-s so as to combine them into a giant glyptodont monster. Instead, I'm just ordering their rare parts via Bricks and Pieces. Much cheaper. Quote
Timeline15 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I ended up with 2 lewa phantoka and 2 krika mistika due to gifts. Maybe also 2 strakk, I forget. I'm considering getting more Pohatu's or PoSs just so I can have enough brown to moc something of meaningful size with it. Quote
Jetrax99 Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 So I'll be getting the Hero Pack in a week or so, along with the grwy 48x48 stud baseplate and brick separator. Yes, that's correct. I didn't buy any BIONICLE sets to get it with. Quote
MakutaOfWar Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 I plan on getting 2 more Pohatu's and a second MM vs SG to make my Skull Centaur moc, and 2 or 3 more PoF's and a duplicate Tahu and Skull Warrior for another moc using the two gatling guns in the chest. I thought of Heavyarms Gundam when looking at the new Protector shooter, so that is my second moc idea. :P Quote
Mandate Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Great news everyone! The box art for the summer sets tells a story of how the Toa get through the Ancient City. Each one gets closer and closer to the Anvil (or whatever that place is going to be called) until the artwork depicts the inside of the Anvil. By the looks of things, Pohatu or Lewa will fall first (hard to tell the distance). Kopaka will then be defeated, and at the steps towards the Anvil Onua will be defeated. Then on the inside of the Anvil, Skull Grinder and Ekimu have their battle after Tahu forgets what he's doing and accidentally wakes up Ekimu, killing Gali in the process Tahu or Gali make their way inside.

The first part of your post I pointed out a few pages ago. :P As for the second part that's some crazy speculation you got going. XD Quote
Mandate Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Where's this coming from? The box art for the Summer sets. Skull Scopio is featured at the gates to the city, Skull Slicer is featured on a cliff in/outside the city, Skull Warrior is near a monument inside the city, and Skull Basher. There's a clear progression through the sets. As for the second part that's some crazy speculation you got going. XD Is it really? Why are there hands outstretched reaching for the "infected" masks then? The Toa fall one by one to their respective villains as they enter the city. Believe it or not, LEGO has done stories like this once or twice in the past (in similar settings too, funnily enough) so it's not out of the question. Quote

We don't know until TLG tells us so. Look at the perspective. It's a hand grasping from the lower corner, hardly a "I CAN ALMOST FEEL THE POWER!" stance but more similar to just having had their tails kicked by the villains and reaching for their mask as a last desperate attempt. Oh, thought you were talking about the comics that are included on the boxes. Wow... I hadn't even thought about the box comics for Summer. I wonder what they're going to be like... Quote
Kalhiki Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Is it really? Why are there hands outstretched reaching for the "infected" masks then? They're not infected... They're funmetal. Quote
Clone 01354 Productions Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) Is it really? Why are there hands outstretched reaching for the "infected" masks then?

Believe it or not, LEGO has done stories like this once or twice in the past (in similar settings too, funnily enough) so it's not out of the question. I just doubt that they would kill off all of the Toa this early on. And also, that's pretty dark: ALL of the Toa die in the Ancient City, being brutally murdered by zombies? We were barely able to handle when Matoro died, and you want each of the original Toa to fall? They're not infected... They're funmetal. Finally, someone who understands! But really, I don't think the masks are infected......What if the gold is melting off, exposing raw elemental energy which gives the Toa even more power? So, for example, the trans-Hau gives Tahu a complete control over fire, and he becomes a.....Fire Lord? Wait, no..... EDIT: I just realized what I said: Toa are exposed to energy, which gives them more power and new forms......And just a few pages back, I was complaining about the Toa Nuva.

Sounds like the Ninjago episode where Lloyd defeated the Overlord. As the ninja traveled up the tower, they kept losing teammates until only Lloyd was left to fight the Overlord, because Zane & Cole were evil-fied and Kai was holding off Nya. I'm going to guess that Tahu ends up being the Toa who helps Ekimu, while Gali holds off the Skull Villains. Quote

Keep in mind they can only show the hand. If they show more of a Toa to create a more realistic pose, some people may think a representation of the Toa is included in the set. And it's hard to say what kind of pose a character has just based on their outstretched hand. You could be right of course, and the Toa could fall as they approach the MoCr. I simply doubt that idea because 1) things like that never happened in Gen 1 and 2) because of the Toas' "WE'RE STRONGER WHEN UNITED!" exercise while fighting LoSS. Quote
Dorek Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Can we please not call the dual color Toa Masks funmetal? The whole joke was that funmental was an easy typo error from gunmental; applying the term to something else just makes that confusing and unfunny. Quote
Timeline15 Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Just got the rest of the sets. The toa are amazing. They all have a distinct physique which matches their character, they all pose super well (with the exception of Lewa's head), and the new masks look really cool (except perhaps lewa and onua). The protectors are also very solid for small sets, though the cutting corners on the arms is annoying in some of them. Quote
OmastarLovesDonuts Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 I just hope that the new masks end up playing an actual role in the story, because they look really cool and might have something to do with the Toa being defeated. Quote
Mandate Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 They're not infected... They're funmetal. It's not BIONICLE... It's Hero Factory, I just doubt that they would kill off all of the Toa this early on. And also, that's pretty dark: ALL of the Toa die in the Ancient City, being brutally murdered by zombies? We were barely able to handle when Matoro died, and you want each of the original Toa to fall? "Defeat" =/= "Death" Keep in mind they can only show the hand. If they show more of a Toa to create a more realistic pose, some people may think a representation of the Toa is included in the set. And it's hard to say what kind of pose a character has just based on their outstretched hand. Considering we had 3 years of HF sets with villains/heroes lurking in the background and all the Toa but Gali have LOSS creeping around in their boxart somewhere... You could be right of course, and the Toa could fall as they approach the MoCr. I simply doubt that idea because 1) things like that never happened in Gen 1 and 2) because of the Toas' "WE'RE STRONGER WHEN UNITED!" exercise while fighting LoSS. Things like Ekimu, or the Ancient City never happened in Gen 1 either. The Toa actually staying united for any lengthy period of time was apparently a rare occurrence as well (or so I'm told). Quote

The whole joke was that funmental was an easy typo error from gunmental; applying the term to something else just makes that confusing and unfunny. Agreed--although, sadly, the Bionicle fandom seems to be known for its unwillingness to let the smallest typo or fake leak go. After all, people are still saying "Omega Tahu" now, years after it outstayed its welcome. Edited March 14, 2015 by Mariko Quote
Toa of Gallifrey Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 And yet Voriki has been here for nearly 15 years and gets hailed like a hero. Quote
Mandate Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 And yet Voriki has been here for nearly 15 years and gets hailed like a hero. I know there's a BIONICLE fanfic about a guy called Voriki, but... who is Voriki? Quote
TheGreatSpirit Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) I know there's a BIONICLE fanfic about a guy called Voriki, but... who is Voriki? Why, the OG 7th toa of energy.... Ahem, MASTER of Energy now In reality, he was the first fake set image for Bionicle, purported to be the 7th toa. Edited March 15, 2015 by TheGreatSpirit Quote

Wasn't it placed over a cgi image of a Mata set or something like that? Quote
