Zarkan Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 One quick note: Greg F. has given a reason how Nocturn was able to break his home island: no, he didn't punch it in a rage, but used some sort of weapon to break it. Just though I'd let you guys know. :-P I'll trust you on that, then! Still could be an error... but I'm interested in seeing the outcome! We'll get minimum one Brotherhood Member set next year, but I was kinda hoping for that to be a Titan or one of the huge $40+ sets. Oh yeah, a giant 50 dollar makuta titan would be SICK. *sweet* Hopefully these are very early prototypes. They are kinda terrible. THEY CHANGED LEWA! WAAAAH! Eh, I don't think so. The early barraki pictures we saw last year were extremely close to the finals. But let's forget that for a monent and hope for what you say anyway. X-D Quote

Just though I'd let you guys know. :-PAnd earlier he said it was due to raw strength. *wacko* Can he at least be consistent? :-P But yeah, seeing both our Ol' Makuta and the new one as $40+ sets would be suh-weet. *sweet* And if this will indeed be the culminating year of Bionicle as we know it, the odds of there being a Mata Nui set just went up by several notches! -Ikk Edited October 1, 2007 by Ikki o' Moopyville Quote
Clonie Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 Thats kinda the suspense, isn't it? Fighting Makuta. Quote
BrotherDog Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) Greetings and Grand Yerbitol to you all. This is my first post on "this" forum. I'd also like to commend the mastery of Search Fu used to get these pics. I both like and dislike what I see of these sets. With the Toa, they're making same lame mistake they made with Mauri Kongu, too much Dark Bley, not enough of his color. Why are they desaturating the colors? That's just sad. However the masks look swell, spiffy, peachy-keen, whatever term fits for you. I can hardly wait to see the bat-like beasties, whatever their species will be called.

Tyranide Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 Oh, yeah, and I forgot about so-called "big huge more than 40$ sets"... (this info isn't from catalogues - release in second half of 2008, and I trust this information - one of my shops told me) These are called somwhat like "WEAPONS" and they are... well, weapons. If I understood correctly, they are some kind of Bionicle weapon that you'll need to build and put on your hand - like "Spider-Man Web Shooters" or something like that. I don't think that these things will be very popular - only very little children will use this "weapons" as weapons. And the price... more that 50$! Quote
Shakar Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 Ow man. And I was beginning to like 2008. Or at least Lewa. Tyranidar, what was Kopaka's secondary colour? I bet he was white and silver..then? Shakar Quote

Shakar Yup. Body color's white, another - grey/silver (it's difficult to seee on little CG-pictures). Wings are grey, as I remember... Quote
Visorak-kal Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 Eh, oh well. If LEGO wants to put out stuff like that, then that's okay with me. As long as they keep up with the good work on Titans and the rest of BIONICLE's quality doesn't suffer, then they can put out as many crazy weapons as they want. I was hoping for a large Titan, or perhaps a technic-built setting. That would've been neat. VK Quote
VBBN Posted October 2, 2007 Author Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) Are the matoran masks new, recoloered, or old? Please explain them. Edited October 2, 2007 by ~VBBN~ Quote
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 If they are Inika masks, then I can say "wow, Lego you reused them! X-O " If they aren't then I can say that Lego wasting a lot of money creating one chance masks. I have a feeling its the Metru masks again though (please be olda masks, please be olda masks, please be olda masks) -ZotS Quote

Zaktan of the Shadows Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 Frogot to comment on the launcher thing... Why did they do this to us? Thats horrible! -ZotS Quote
Clonie Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 Yeah! Why not huge badass killing monster things! Quote
Shine Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 (edited) You guys shouldn't believe everything you read. LEGO sells very few of those large true-size weapons, why would they expect a large, heavy, cumbersome, pinch point-ridden blaster to sell. The idea of having to build the launcher is absurd, the kinds of children that buy the real-size items want to play with them, not build, or have their toy gun fall to pieces when the ram it into a wall, their mother's head, or whatever children smash things into. My guess is that between four people(LEGO, retailer, Tyranide, and us) the meaning became garbled somehow. Besides, forty dollars for a Nerf gun? =/ Edited October 3, 2007 by Shine Quote
Clonie Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 I admit it seems dubious. But we'll see, I guess. Quote
Tyranide Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 Well, we'll see about these "weapons"... I can hardly believe it too, but I think there's nothing impossible in it. One of our biggest LEGO sellers announced them, so I can't find any reason not to believe this information. About masks - as I remember, ALL OF THEM ARE NEW. Even Matoran - they look very similar to big sets' masks, but slightly different - for example, Tanma's looks like Lewa's, but with some kinda spikes on it (like on Nuparu Inika), Radiak wears mask that resembles me 'bout Avohkii... all of them from distance look like old masks, but they are all different. Oh, maybe I can't remember something, but, as I was told, this week... probably, scans are coming. As I understood (I'm now ill, so can't go anywhere), WHOLE catalog will be scanned. Not only Phantoka pages... But I still don't know what LEGO will say about displaying it to other people :) maybe I will be able to send'em via PM. Quote
rew12 Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 <comin' back after half-a-year break> Thanks for all the info, Tyranide, waitin' for scans. A couple of questions for you from Polish Bionicle Forum: 1. Why Chirox is black on scans, as you say he's blue? 2. Are there any Titans labeled in the catalog? 3. How do the Matoran cans look like? 6 new Kanohi, maybe '08 will be better than the year of Toa Mahri, the Inika re-release, Karzahni set, ruining the image of the legendary ruler... Ok, that's out of topic. :-) More new pieces, as seen in Pohatu Nuva Nuva, would be useful. Quote

Ok, that's out of topic. :-) More new pieces, as seen in Pohatu Nuva Nuva, would be useful. 1. What? I made a mistake? really? Chirox is black and Vamprah is blue - people thought that black one is Vamprah because of fake picture. Some association chain like "Vamprah->vampire->HE'S BLACK!!!" 2. Only 8697 Toa Ignika - he's titan because of, well, Ignika and his "jet-powered" (really! as said in catalogue!) surfboard. It really big, as I understand. I'll repeat - that was catalogue only for first half o 2008, so there was only 13 sets. 3. Matoran and Makuta and Toa Nuva cans look like Toa Mahri's. Plastic and more like box than canister. But for me they are more attractive than Mahri's. Matoran cans are just smaller than big Phantoka's. Quote

Clonie Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 (edited) Actually, wouldn't there be ten new masks in the first wave? 6 Matoran 3 Toa Nuva 1 Ignika Unless the Makuta wear masks, which would make it 13. Any news on that, Tyranide? Oh, and there's the other three Nuva... By the way, aren't you the guy who posted all those Bionicle vids on YouTube? Edited October 4, 2007 by Clonie Quote
Harfo Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 These are looking cool so far I can't wait until I can see the rest. Tyranide if you do share the pictures via pm could you add me to the list o people you pm them to? Quote
BrotherDog Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 I too would be interested in such pictures... ;;D So they're called the Phankota, eh.... Quote

You have a video of them?By the way, I'd like to receive the set pics as well. Quote
Tyranide Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 You have a video of them?By the way, I'd like to receive the set pics as well. My friend told me that he'll go tomorrow. Wonderful. And he'll scan pages. ABout video - no, I mean I can create video from these pics. With my comments. Quote
