-ReVenge- Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 (edited) Gali: Ew! Much worse than I originally thought. Look at that mask (has she lost an eye!?) and cannon! :-X Bitil: In a very bad pose, but I can tell that he is old yellow! Yes! Also, it that a vahki head!? Onua: MUCH better that I originally thought. The mask looks like a kraahkan. Tahu: nothing new to say here except that he lloks the same as the leaked pictures. Krika: Weird head connection. Very spiky. The blaster is attached very badly and she looks horrible from the back. I'm not sure that I like it. Also, she seems to stand up in the same manner as Vamprah. Gorast: Better than I originally thought. Still sucks though. *n* Takanuva: The mask looks worse than the leaked pictures. Also, Have you guys noticed that on pricing for the phantoka also says 12.99 USD and than was sold for 9.99? Hopefully the Mistika's pricing will work the same way. *pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease* Well, it seems like the only one that I'm sure to be getting is Takanuva(who is the only real titan) Also, maybe Onua, Tahu, Bitil. Gorast and Gali are total "No"s. Krika is a probably not. I think I'm going to get Vamprah and finish my Phantoka collection before I consider the Mistika. I mean, the Mistika are disgusting!

Zaktan of the Shadows Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 X-O These all look pretty sweet! I like them, they all look good. They are quite original... The Toa rock, but Gali turned into a monster! :'-( The Makuta look better, and they are pretty sweet. More opinion will come tommorow... god, I'm tired... -ZotS Quote
JINZONINGEN73 Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Uh...guys? In that gallery, find the group shot with the six canister sets.Zoom in. Look at the card for Gorast. $12.99 USD? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! *vader* ~Trexxen, who hopes his eyes are wrong ... ... ....Ah... eh... ... ...ahah. Ahahaha. HAHAHAHAHAHA! A bad situation just got worse! MAN, that better not be right... but it's so late in the game now... they must be, right? WOW. Anyway, likin' the front parts on the orange speederbike. Not sure if that warrants purchase of the whole entire unit though. Makuta Icarax post Yesterday, 07:25 PM you all know what these are AWESOME, so stop acting like they are stupid POWER RANGERS, cause know what they are not!! Now stop that. This many people reaching for the barfbags can't ALL be virgins to the action figure aisles. (Well, to be fair, my Walmart has moved Bionicle and Lego away from the action figure aisles and a few over into the LEARNING toy aisle. ) >__< Quote
The Dor Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Uh...guys? In that gallery, find the group shot with the six canister sets.Zoom in. Look at the card for Gorast. $12.99 USD? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! *vader* ~Trexxen, who hopes his eyes are wrong Aha, now look at the price they have for Vamprah and all the other Phantoka... 12.99... so they are probably normal priced. ;) Also: people, quit complaining! Look at all the nice, snazzy, new peices! This is great! The Toa look like TOA. I like the fact that the Toa now have a unified look with slight variations. Make them look the same species! I like all these sets, especially the Makuta. They look mutated, and pull it off way better than the Hordika, Inika, and Barraki. However, Gali does worry me a little... I see a few flaws... such as the mask. WTF happened to her eye?! It looks like it got bumped down to make room for a strainer! Jeeze! Also, the shoulder armor. I'm not exactly sure if it will stop the arm from bending too far back... I might need to move it down, but that might make the joint weird... AND. A note on the masks. They do not have mouth holes. Every year, every mask has had a little dent in the mouth... even the Phankuta... who actually have mouths, have a dent IN their mouths... Only two have not... until now... and those two have been the dreadful MAXILOS AND IGNIKA. :c I do not want these types of masks! I have sufficient reason to be worried! Meh! Quote
Nako Nuva Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Well, seeing these versions of the sets, I am so totally overhauling Gali. I'll be ditching the launcher until I find some redeeming way to attach it. The mask? That'll be going bye-bye, cuz it looks like the factory had a huge friggin' melt-down and they just decided to use the screw ups anyway. Honestly, is Lego hell-bent on making the girl Toa the ugliest?I'd rather her old Nuva Mask over that, but I'm probably just gonna forgo even that and attach her old mask. And honestly, I'm disappointed by the lack of tools. I feel sorry that Greg's going to have to explain that. Maybe there's some tiny little flat silver piece that Lego thinks will count as a weapon. I mean, honestly, they didn't give a Fire Toa a sword? That's only happened, what, with Vakama and Norik? And to do it to Tahu, of all people . . . I still like the Makuta, but I'd disappointed by the fact that we aren't getting new masks with them. And am I the only one who thinks Onua's new mask looks like another Mask of Shadows? And is that a fin on top of Tahu's mask? At least Takanuva doesn't look absolutely bastardized. And why do the riders on the vehicles look kinda like Pohatu and Lewa? Quote
S-N Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Aha, now look at the price they have for Vamprah and all the other Phantoka... 12.99... so they are probably normal priced. ;)Also: people, quit complaining!

The reason they did the Ignika that way is so it wouldn't have a mouthhole, if it did, well it would ruined it. Quote

Well the prototype Phantoka didn't have them either. Quote
The Dor Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Well the prototype Phantoka didn't have them either. Good point, however, in this pic, you can see the red in her mask front. :C Also, I think there must be a production reason for the mouth hole, otherwise Ignika would just have used a normal attachment. And the prototype images of the Phantoka were all CG, so... Quote
Deinonychus Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Oh...this one I just love *wub* I hope it's a female so it can have my babies Quote

And the prototype images of the Phantoka were all CG, so... The rod in the masks causes them to have moutholes. If the mask style is Ignika/Maxilos, it doesn't have motuhole and no + rod thing. Quote

The Dor Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 (edited) The rod in the masks causes them to have moutholes. If the mask style is Ignika/Maxilos, it doesn't have motuhole and no + rod thing. That is exactly what I am saying... also... Krika has a Phankuta attachment thingy. So does s/he have a Matoran for her/him? It would seem really stupid to have those on their, seeing as the Mistuka aren't blind... also, Gorast Bitil has a Vahki head, turned around for her/his neck. :? Gunnar: Uhm... the fact that the plus rods in almost every set is red should be a clue that she has that style of mask... Edited February 17, 2008 by The Dor Quote
Wrinkledlion X Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Ah. They have a couple pics posted on BZP now. They'll have more tomorrow. Quote
-ReVenge- Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 (edited) What's significant about the red? It means it uses a red plus rod. Edited February 17, 2008 by -ReVenge- Quote
Kanohi Ignika Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Well, Greg did say the designers were really emphizing the combining gimmick between Makuta Toa and Matoran... At 40 piecies, Krika could have used improvement, but the classic slick and spicy look for feminines are here. I think she has Barraki eyes inside her ponytail mask. I think the net wings of Gorast should have been on his back, because they look like they will get in the way of posing, though not significantly. Heck, would it kill LEGO to make them not so RECTANGULARLY straight? I don't think real insect wings look like mosquito smackers. Bitil has potential, but he would have worked better with his "wings" turn into extra arms, with his hook-like weapons while not copied from Gorast. And the Onua shield become his back armor, giving him a real Beetle-look (six arms and a hard shell). Photok body is a definite no-no. -Iggy Quote

FlamingShadows Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 (edited) at that pic of krika, there's that part thatwas on the phantoka sets wich connected them with matoran, does this mean there wil be more matoran sets? i sure hope so :-D btw, the 'bikers' are REALLY expensive, 40, 50 and 80 dollars :-/ oh, to the ones that think the brown and green bikers remind them of pohatu and lewa, mayby becouse they got same mask also? weird, mayby they ARE lewa and pohatu, or mayby two bad guys that killed them or something, lol Edited February 17, 2008 by FlamingShadows Quote
BrotherDog Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 After seeing these, I wish that this was the last year of Bionicle... perhaps replaced by a totally different, better line... but ONLY after they fire any american or dutch designers and bring in a 100% Japanese crew. Anyway, likin' the front parts on the orange speederbike. Orange one? I've only seen a red one, a Blue one, a Lime one, and a White/Pearl one. That would be waaaaaay better if that red one was Orange instead though. Unless it's just lighting makes it look red. :-X i know, i know, i'm too impatient 8-| how long till toy fair btw? i think there should come new rahi's, swamp is a good theme for some rahi's, me thinks ^^ Yeah. The same thing goes for water as well. We only got one Titan rahi out of that season. What a sad waste. Gadunka was awesome at least, but it would have been nice for some smaller rahi sets though. Pridak's feet would have made nice fish bodies if they were available in other colors, in Dk-Green it would even make an awesome croc head. Quote
Clonie Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Pridak's feet would have made nice fish bodies if they were available in other colors, in Dk-Green it would even make an awesome croc head. There are dark green Pridak feet in Karzahni. ;-) And, eh, I can't be bothered to comment on the pics today either. Takanuva and Tahu are very awesome though. Quote
Dino_Bot Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 (edited) While Takanuva looks like a great Titan, I'm...unsure as to how he still is Takanuva. Is this Takutanuva? Or...well? Someone owes me an explanation. Maybe he went emo and decided to wear black, and got long claws in order to slash himself...? or others? Edited February 17, 2008 by Dino_Bot Quote

Clonie Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Well, Onua definitely looks better than he does on his box pic. Don't really like the arms though... Quote
Lord Thrawn Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 I am pleasently surprised by these actually. Sure Tahu sucks but I'm liking the look of alot of the pieces. And the Makuta are great so far. Quote
