Ecto Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) Lego. This needs to stop. Now. As Rayg said, you KNEW these were our heroes. They would have been fresh and new had you kept them the same, seeing as the old ones are SEVEN YEARS OLD. Now we get this. Blocko. Let's replace the word "megablocking" with "Legoing" now. They are one and the same. :-( Edited January 17, 2008 by Ecto Quote
Spartan_01 Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Yeah guys, I joined aswell. Hey all Bzpower ppl! >:-( Anyway. OMFGWTF. Tahu. WHY?!??!?!?!??! I wanna cry, seriously, I do. My favourite set. My favourite character. Ruined. Its over. If this is what he looks like, then...NOOOOOOOOOOO. *n* Actually, I gotta be honest, they all suck. I mean seriously, this is NOT Bionicle. Its Knights Kingdom+Blocko+Random Crap. That is what it is. It is terrible. I hope to freaking GOD that these are prelimnary pics sent to scare us. To scare us so we don't discuss leaked images. I really do. Because, the winter sets are WAY better than this crap. OMFG. I'm gonna go cry in a corner now. Spartan_01 Quote

They have adaptable armor. They're appearance is different to suit their mission. What the hell do you want? Toa Nuva from 2002 with Inika arms and legs? The only thing that doesn't change is change itself. You're going to have to live with This Tahu, Gali and Onua or denounce Bionicle. Frankly, I hope you do. We have enough idiots complaining about this stuff already. Quote
S-N Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) Tahu, he's kind of weird but... I'll have to judge him when he in my hands..... I hope we get clearer pics though...my fav 2008 set by far is Toa Ignika. Edited January 17, 2008 by S-N Quote

Darkness Falls Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 You're opinions are wrong okay? Spartan_01 ...My... opinions are wrong. That's quite possible the worst argument I've ever heard. By the way, apologies for the outburst before. Still, I'm starting to get a little aggravated. Quote
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) GUYS. This blocko crap has to stop. It's NOT blocko. Look closley: Most of the peices are old 2006 peices. So those are blocko too? And people are judging Lego through Bionicle. There is Indy sets, Batman, Star Wars, and more which are all looking good for summer 2008. And also, these could ACTUALLY be good fricking sets. Just because they "aren't" the Toa Nuva, as you say, they still could be brilliant sets. Take Gali for example: She looks cool, and looks like a good set, but she automatically sucks cause she doesn't look like Gali, right? WRONG. GET. OVER. IT. But one good part on Tahu: Lots of silver! (if that is silver). *wub* Oh, and Spartan_01, just for saying that to Darkness Falls, I hereby declare you... N00B -ZotS Edited January 17, 2008 by Zaktan of the Shadows Quote
Swert Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 I am not happy anymore. *pats Rayg on the Pakari* it's ok, man... I wasn't happy with 05... but that's okay, they made up for the Hordika with how cool Visorak looked... wait... Anyway, there's also the possibility that these are all prototypes, or perhaps not finalized... and plus, they could even be faked *shrugs* I've seen worse edits... anybody remember the "Lesovikk" edit on BZ? -Swert Quote

So they probably won't change. But if Tahu doesn't change... Hell with it. I'll buy him anyway. -ZotS Quote
InnerRayg Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Look, I just have a problem with such a radical redesign of the one mask that has represented the line since the very beginning. Silly me. Quote

By the way, apologies for the outburst before. Still, I'm starting to get a little aggravated. Omg. I've been declared a noob by ZotS. Wow, I'm afraid really. And its not an arguement, its a fact. You where wrong about the outburst, but since you've apolagised, its fine. I was gonna rant at you, but I settled for that. But, what the hell, I'll rant anyway. I don't like people bad mouthing the sets before they have seen the final images or held the sets, its jsut these looked terrible IMO, the winter sets looked better. I didn't like them when I first saw them, and Tahu was my fav Bionicle, and I was expecting alot more from Lego. I don't know, he might look good in when I get him. But my first impresion of him was bad. That's all. BTW, the phrase You're opinions are wrong okay? isn't mine, its from an Advance Wars forum, one of the Mods used it once. Its an awesome line, and anyone who doesn't like it, aka you Darkness, and especially ZotS, is a noob. Its a hilarous line stated like a fact, that can't be refuted. I thought better of you ZotS, aren't you Air Spirt Lewa or something now? Next time, think before typing. I do agree with you on the Tahu thing though. I will obviously buy him, its just... And Rayg, yeah, I don't have a close up of the Paraki, but the Hau. There's a radical redesign for you. Edit: Thank you Clonie. Apparently, the only person here with a sense of humour.

Clonie Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Knowing Spartan_01... if he is who I think he is X-D I think he was joking about the "Your opinions are wrong" thing. Anyway. Now you see why I didn't post pics. I was hoping they'd stay unavailable until ToyFair so we could get good pics... Oh well. Now for my analysis. Not that anyone cares. Gali: Well I can't see her head, or chest for that matter, so I dunno what to think of her yet but she looks cool. But, long arms. Tahu: Amazingly enough he looks better in that pic than in the pics I had... But yeah, Piraka torso. Hmm. Dunno, I think it could work. If it's grey that's good. But looking again... Wow, he's cooler than I thought. He's no longer fail. There, I said it. |-/ Interesting propellor weapon. I wonder wtf those things on his body are. But yeah, I like him. Onua: I've kinda gotten over the fact that he's tall. But it did get me thinking. What does Onua mean to me? When reading books I never pictured him as hunchbacked. Nor did that hockey mask suit his character either. This set looks more like Onua, the character, than the original Onua set, but that does not necessarily mean this is a better set... that remains to be seen. Also, there appears to be a FREAKING COOL SWORD behind his back. Why it's floating I don't know. Not sure if it even is a sword. (I anticipate at least two brainless comments about me praising sets automatically, even though I didn't like them at first.) Krika: No judgement. Gorast: No judgement either... to early. Bitil: This guy I haven't seen before. He's cool. Probably the best. But usually, I can't judge bad guys until we see them in person so I'd rather not comment much. *shrug* So yeah. I like Tahu the most. *dodges tomatoes* On another note, I got the Matoran. Quote

Kynok Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) I don't know why people *coughgregcough* say, "don't judge a set untill you have it in your hands." It's like saying "I'm going to waste my money on something to see if I like it." Once you've got the set in your hands, and decided the set sucked... YOU"VE ALREADY BOUGHT THE DANG SET! You can't go back and get a defferent set! So safe-shoppers (aka smart people [i'm not pointing fingers]) would evaluate it through all possible means BEFORE buying the set. Even if that means judging a book on it's cover. Or in this case, judging a set on it's picture. So judging on these pics (:-P), I can say I like them. Not for WHO they are, but for WHAT they are. If they were brand new Toa, they'd be better. But due to the un-reseblence to the Nuva's former... forms... they loose a bit of points. I agree with Rayg (I'm not sure if he said this here on EB, or on BZP) that they need some silver in them. I should be rejoicing that LEGO finally stopped using all the silver, but the Toa Nuva just aren't Nuva with out the silver armor. :-/ They need CHROME! That would be a dream... Edited January 17, 2008 by Kynok Quote
Spartan_01 Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 That my be true Kynok, but sometimes, the best way to judge a set is when you buy it and open it. Sometimes, the CGI and pictures can be misleading, making the set either better or worse than it really is. But in the end, its up to you. I'm gonna by the sets, cause I like Bionicle.

Spartan_01 Agreed. Back in 2001, for example. The Toa Mata were in poses that the actual sets could never do! You would have never known that until you had the sets in your hands! And I also buy the sets for the pure love for BIONICLE. Or it could be my curse of bad self-containment. :-P Quote
Synchromech Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 I'm going to reserve judgement until ToyFair, but I did make one observation on Bitil... That looks like a...yellow Cordak blaster... :-$ Quote
KMOI Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 .... BLOCKO! That was precisely what I was thinking when I was looking at these pics. Y'know, I think Hinkley's thoughts on the blurry pic nailed what I thought of these sets. One looked like an evil moth-man eating a puppy and the other one looked like a mountain and a tree reflecting on a serene lake. Aside from the fact that these sets have completely and utterly desecrated all of the original Toa, these sets are without a doubt a massive blemish on the face of our planet. Seriously, I wouldn't even know these were even LEGO at first glance. I'd love to say I'm being sarcastic, but these honestly look like those new Megabloks sets. The designs are almost as if the designers weren't given the right source material. Even parts-wise, none of these sets even look remotely appealing. And for those who're going to slam me based on my judgement on the sets now, I think Kynok summed it up rather nicely. If you've already bought the set, you can't return it. Once you've opened the seal and built that wretched monstrosity, there's no turning back. By purchasing it in the first place, you've demonstrated that you support this crazed, senseless new direction, regardless of whether or not you like the set you now own. Quote
Clonie Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 So safe-shoppers (aka smart people [i'm not pointing fingers]) would evaluate it through all possible means BEFORE buying the set. Is looking at a pic released 5 months before the set considered evaluating a set through all possible means? I don't think too highly of them now, but that's probably going to change in July, or even February. Quote
Hinckley Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 BTW, the phrase You're opinions are wrong okay? isn't mine, its from an Advance Wars forum, one of the Mods used it once.

I thought better of you ZotS, aren't you Air Spirt Lewa or something now? Next time, think before typing... Perhaps you guys are friends and normally talk to each other this way and maybe I've come in on a conversation I don't fully understand. And I do appreciate that any tension that was there seems to have been taken care of between you, so thank you. However, I don't like to see posts like this, especially from a new user. With your fourth post you managed to insult three people. Expecting someone to know a line off some random forum and to accept your joke is not a great idea. They are just typed words in a forum. No one knows how you mean them unless you give them a little help. So, please follow your own advice, and think before you type. Overall, everyone, I understand you may be disappointed in this line but be respectful of each other and each other's opinions. Don't let the arguing and bickering get out of hand, just discuss your favorite toy in a respectful, somewhat-mature manner. You are allowed to love the prototype pics or hate them or in-between but there's no reason to attack each other over that. Thank you. :-) Quote
Phantoka_Chirox Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) remember the mahri?... everyone(well not everyone) is like: uhh theyre so ugly (in the leaked/toyfair) but when the real set comes everyone(well not everyone) is like: i love them... *wub* so stop judging the mistika!

Clonie Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Expecting someone to know a line off some random forum and to accept your joke is not a great idea.

BrotherDog Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) What's th deal around here? Does everyone ignore official info? Why does everyone refer to an obviosly male character as female (Gali, I mean come on, he's blue, a very masculine color as opposed to red, which is so very feminine. Did anyone ever look at the Inika? Hahli/very masculine : Jaller/the only female looking one), when an official announcement said that the only female in the summer sets would be a Makuta? Unless they changed their mind. Thank you Tyranide for putting those pics up, even though they be small, they're still clear. ;; D Edited January 17, 2008 by BrotherDog Quote
