Bionicle 2008 Images and Discussion

[Tyranide]

Strange. Tahu here looks even better than on any other pictures...

[hewkii9]

Frak...if it weren't for the too-thin thighs and upper arms, silly blaster and out of character weapon, odd chest rockets, out of character and rather grunt-looking mask, and reverse-hollow-blue-pin-showing chest, I might want to buy Tahu.

Krika looks genuinely nice though, but too small.

[Icesaber]

I want Onua more and more for some reason. His armor can replace the Tridax launchers, the battering ram thing looks interesting, and I want his mask for a Miserix revamp. But those three things don't justify a $13 price tag. Maybe five.

But I absolutely want Krika and Bitil right now. Gorast too, but not as much.

Same here! I may just break down and buy both of them eventually, even with the increased price tag. Probably though, I'll just wait until they are reduced in price.

WANT KRIKA

[Spartan_01]

Damn. Tahu looks awesome on that cover. Same to Krika. Sweet.

There won't be any new Matoran for the new bunch of Toa. On the back of the packaging for the Toa sets they show that they can still have Matoran attach to them but it shows the old Matoran actually on their backs.

[marky]

ok thx and by the way mazeka is an onui-matoran

[Pencoin]

does anyone here have the code for kingdom?

[Tyranide]

SCL411 is the code.

[Pencoin]

thanks

i take it dark mirror never happened then

[Icesaber]

SCL411 is the code.

Hey, is the story up? If so, could you take screenshots of the story so I can read it in .png format? For some reason, pdf won't load on my comp.

[Tyranide]

That's just another alternate dimension. THIRD for Takanuva. Funny...

I think that DOC file would be better, yup?

[Zarkan]

Thanks for the file, Tyranide! Now I'm off to read it.

Oh, yeah, I think many people will ask who's Helryx. I've got this info from book owner)) Helryx is the Very First Toa and the Order of Mata Nui leader.

I actually liked this story. There was no action, and that's good for me. And this new future is very... strange and some parts of text can (possibly, just possibly!) prove that "Matoran Universe is Mata Nui's body" theory.

[Ecto]

Helryx, eh? Nice name.

[Lord Thrawn]

It's one too many x's for me but I guess it's alright. Doesn't really sound very ancient or anything though.

[Zee toa of sonics]

Wow I wonder how the kingdom will be concluded.

-zee :skull:

[Icesaber]

Oh yeah, what are Fe-Matoran :)?

[hewkii9]

I'm guessing Matoran of Iron, Fe being Iron's periodic table symbol and Roodaka mentioning iron supports right after Fe-Matoran.

[JINZONINGEN73]

Oh great. Sounds like another excuse to just load up the sets with more of that damn silver.

Unrelated note- You know, I really hate the packaging images of the stuff currently on the shelves.

When the Barraki were out, I could look at the packages and know EXACTLY what colors were included in the sets.

But you have like Hydraxon and a few of the Phantoka who I'm sitting there trying to discern what parts are black, what parts are silver, what parts are gun metal, whether parts are red or dark red... ...and this is while studying sets that are right there in my hands!

I actually put Hydraxon back on the shelf and left... all because I couldn't remember what colors were shown in the fan images I saw online!

Pity. I really hope they fix this PROBLEM in the next wave(s). I want to buy more Bionicle sets, but not when they're being all fruity with the CGI and airbrushing to the point I'm not sure if the parts inside are the ones I'm looking to moc with.

[Spirit of the Air]

Nice story. I don't have BL10 yet, so this was a nice surprise.

I know what you mean! From the box, Hydraxon looks gunmetal, which the actual set doesn't have any except his fingers. And it looks like that Tahu and Gali Mistika will look like they have Mata colors on their boxes, while in reality they have Metru versions :(. Fortunately, it looks like at least Axalara and Rockoh will have the colors as advertised on their boxes (Mata red! and Metru green).

On another unrelated note, Umbra and Hewkii Mahri are some of the most disappointing sets I have seen.

I think that if there's a Toa/Matoran/Turaga of Iron, he's more likely to be gunmetal.
