Bionicle 2008 Images and Discussion

[Clonie]

Well okay, I didn't know EB had those.

[Phantoka Kopaka Nuva]

If I get up early enough, in 10 or 12 hours. If I won't be able to go to the Internet before my departure to Warhammer Moscow Game Day, then - later.

First, that's 'cause I'm cool.

Second, I know good people in our largest ELGO shop. They always get cool stuff before others, like Ignika keychains and 2008 catalogue. I suppose they got hold on 2009 catalogue. Let's wait, 2009 is interesting for me too)

2009 infos? Suh-weet. Can't wait!

So who plans to buy yellow Jetrax? Although it is pretty cool, I'll stick to the blue one.

[Tyranide]

If yellow Jetrax will be available in Russia and if I'll get money for it - I'm gonna buy this set. I don't have yellow sets except Hewkii Inika and Carapar.

Turns out that the only part of 2009 info I could get was only their brand name. Methinks that proper English version will be "Glatorians".

I personnaly can't prove that this is real, but... it's my duty to tell you!

glad- zzzzzzzap

OUCH!, at least i know where my lightning crystal went!

i have a theory

teridax wins and rules the world and the next toa are force to be gladiators

i want a teridax with removable tounge lol (from film gladiator)

[Ecto]

So, a Gladiator theme, eh? Sweet.

[Zarkan]

Those were just the fools though.

No, I'm sorry. I should say those were the ones who didn't moc.

But then again, the Bohrok Kal were DAMN near identical piles of silver... most annoying for mocer or set enthusiast.

Flop-ola!

These new Jetrax sets are good because they're good parts piles and because alot of people have been wanting more yellow. I say every year of Bionicle should have one, single set done in more than one color, to test the market if nothing more.

The Bohrok Kal were easily one of the biggest disgraces we've ever had in Bionicle. Not only were there basically no new molds in them whatsoever, they were clones of clones, which is just awful. Fortunately, after the Kal bombed (even with BZP members!), TLC never did that again. And now look where we are, years later - and the clone canister sets are finally history.

Also, I think that if you want a display model, the normal jetrax would be good, because it has the cooler color scheme. If you want a better parts pack, however, yellow Jetrax is sweeto.

[Pencoin]

erm what?

[Commander Andrew of 501 st]

erm what?

haha

i'm just going to wait for the yellow jetrax i dont need it that bad

[Phantoka Kopaka Nuva]

Glatorian? That sounds kinda weird for BIONICLE... Ah well, it's still too early for 2009 infos. Hopefully we'll see some pics for the next few months...

[Ikki o' Moopyville]

So that's the new naming system Greg spoke of. How completely opposite of 2001.

-Ikk

[JINZONINGEN73]

Galidorians? What? lol

Um, did Lego run into some kind of severe production problem or is this pic illegitimate?

I was pleased with the parts before... still am... but I won't be buying as many if there are actually no leg bones like on the canister.

I'm guessing the person who decided to show this pic to the world also went nuts and decided to do it through a moc.

>__>

Galidorians

=Galactic

...Yeah, this'll be loads of fun.

[Trexxen]

>_> TBH I think that person was joking with you, Tyranide.

Galidorians.

Ewwwwwwwwwww...

Hold on everyone - you're all jumping to conclusions based on one name that may not even be correct. We need to wait for more info before making any drastic statements.

[Makuta'sdarkslave]

All right, I'm not gonna ask about the 2009 stuff, cause as was said, it's not totally confirmed, and we still dont know, I mean, Glatorians could be anythig, but whatever. What I'm really wanting to ask about is:

Can anyone prove to me the unofficial release of the Mistika? Like pictures, cause I know a lot of people are goin into to BZP and saying that they saw them, I get some contact information on those guys, some tell me they were lying, some say they were telling the truth, and SOME tell me to mind my own business. But can anyone prove these reports? I can't find any pictures online (probably cause my computer sucks and wont update the search engines), so if you could, y'know send 'em to me, or post 'em here, that'd be great. And since that messed up Krika picture picture was posted earlier, that got my hopes up.

Thanks

I don't think you were looking hard enough - a guy who took these pictures has a topic that's #7 on the hot topic list at BZP. It's Burrito God's Mistika review topic.

[Zaktan of the Shadows]

Tahu, Gorast and Krika

We get some good canister pics, but apparentlly this kids a moron and decided to revamp the set rather than show the actual pics. megablock.

~Air Spirit

[Neaku]

I may be going out on a limb here, but if Tahu was like that straight from canister, had Mata Red instead of Dark Red, and a mask that looked like a Hau, I might have bought him. =/

But Krika and Gorast he completely messed up.

Also Jinzo, you do realize the owner changed the sets right? Lego had no production error. <<

Hey, don't be so rude to a kid you've never even heard of before. Maybe he just doesn't care about getting attention, and more about MOCing. Besides, his mods are pretty good - Tahu is better than he was using the official design, and the Gorast and Krika mods would do great as pre-mutation versions of the characters.

[Tom_castlefan]

These look really cool - I stopped buying bionicle a few years ago, but these look interesting, to say the least.

Well, I did want to see actual pics...

His Krika and Gorast mocs are good, I love em. The Tahu is pretty bad though...

FoF 10 is up! What happens to Spiriah is what happens to Krekka and Nidhiki...

~Air Spirit

[Makuta'sdarkslave]

Thanks for the pics. Those MoCs were retty interesting, to say the least.

I'm currently busy cussing out the stores in my local area, because I've been calling every 2 days for the past week, trying to find them, in fact, yesterday I went out on a limb and asked the stores down in Seattle. Nothin doin. I need to kill someone, cause I have too many jittery feelings about these, or what I should say is I still can't wait to get my hands on 'em no matter what. I choose what I want, and I want all 6 of 'em.

TRU? Damn, out TRU was mauled over to make room for some kind of clothing store of some crap. And the closest one is down is Seattle, over an hour and a half drive from here. Must. Kill. Shipping. Companies.

There's medications for that.

Just leave out "kill" parts, or they'll put you on stuff that'll have you drooling and wetting yourself.

And that that point, you'll be lucky if they allow you to even have Duplo.

Ah, so those were just mocs that kid tossed up. Oh well, it's good news anyway. Man... I so need to buy multiples of Mr. McBoneylegs.
