Lyichir Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Okay, I am super-duper skeptical of these descriptions. They SOUND plausible. In fact, they sound extremely promising. But I have no idea who Nekchir is, and the fact that he claims to be our cousin weirds me out and makes it hard for me to trust him about any of this other stuff. And if retailer catalogs were already making the rounds, you would normally expect leaks from a variety of sources, like we've gotten in previous years. Instead... we seemingly only have accounts from one member. I haven't seen similar leaks anywhere else on the web. Nekchir, if you could give us anything to go on that'd help convince me? Because I'd really like to believe you, but I'm getting a lot of red flags that make it hard for me to do so... Quote
Mandate Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 After how many fake leaks we've gotten, "Pics or it didn't happen". Quote

Grima Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 He had a link to his store temporarily in a post, that seems like something, at least. It confirms there's a hobby store that exists, not necessarily that it's his or that he has the catalog. Not that I can think of anything he can do to prove himself without simultaneous risking himself. I just advise caution. Without images, it can be hard to tell what is real and what is fake. Quote
MrJoeBoto Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 He said he'd post pics once he photoshopped the watermarks out... Since his store got linked into this I'm not sure if he will at all anymore though- But why link your store to prove you're legit instead of posting leaked pictures to begin with? That's what makes me skeptical... Quote
Quisoves Pugnat Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) On one hand, I find it implausible that the Barnetts, of all folks, could have a cousin at large in the online AFOL community of whom they were unaware. On the other hand, it would be extremely foolish to falsely claim to be a relative of the Barnetts, of all members. Why not claim to be the kin of some respected but long-inactive user? I lean towards it being false, as in my experience, trolls tend to defy all common-sense. Edited August 21, 2015 by Quisoves Pugnat Quote
MakutaOfWar Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) Wait, who are the Barnetts? And when/where did he claim to be related to them? ;.; You guys are scaring me, did I fall for another one? Edited August 21, 2015 by MakutaOfWar Quote
Grima Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 I think he's gotten the -chir brother's last name wrong. Quote
Quisoves Pugnat Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Wait, who are the Barnetts? The brothers Scott, Andrew, and George Barnett (sp?) are, respectively, Aanchir, Lyichir, and Meiko. Quote

I apologize. It was in bad taste--I'll remove it immediately. Edited August 21, 2015 by Nekchir Quote
TwistLaw Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Is Umarak's mask really that beautiful? Could you describe it? Quote
MakutaOfWar Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 The brothers Scott, Andrew, and George Barnett (sp?) are, respectively, Aanchir, Lyichir, and Meiko. Oooooh, okay, thanks. Hm, I was curious about Nekchir's username being similar. Quote
Nekchir Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) *snip* Is it time? Edited August 21, 2015 by Leewan Don't quote pictures from a post above yours Quote
Mr_KnowItAll_JD23 Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 I have a question. Do you know any other information on other themes besides Bionicle and Marvel? Quote
Mr. Gundam Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Thanks for giving us a couple of hints: I have a question Can you tell us the new tools/weapons they are using? You dont have to give a full description, just want to know if Tahu still using a swrod or Lewa an AXe Quote
Nekchir Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Time for what my good sir? this period of anti-trust. I knew not a lot of people would believe the info I put out, but oh well. We'll just see who's right when someone puts up the prelims or something--who's willing to risk 'alot' by doing so. Quote
Tarvaxx Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) What does Umarak's cape look like? Does he have a secondary color? What color is his eyestalk? Does Pohatu still have the same trans pieces? Can Lewa move his head? Edit: I thought you were putting out prelims once you got rid of the watermarks? Edit 2: It's not that we don't believe you, its just that we're skeptical. I mean, we've gotten quite a few "leaks" lately. I for one am not ready to come to a judgement just yet and believe that you could be telling the truth. Edited August 21, 2015 by Tarvaxx Quote

I seem to recall a few months back on 4chan someone posting about Nekchir being one of the "chir"s (wasn't his name different a few months back?), I never really understood what was going on with that. Surely nobody would go through all that to post fake leaks? Anyway to get back on topic and err away from starting a conspiracy, Nekchir, in the event that your info is true, could you please tell us if the new sets still suffer from the ubiquity of metallic parts? That's probably my main concern for the new sets. Edited August 21, 2015 by Refy L.S. Quote

You should have a least one picture done by now. Edited August 21, 2015 by Dr_Chronos Quote
MrJoeBoto Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Ah I gotcha, the community is probably just sore after rounds of fake leaks in the past few weeks and is just being cautious. (As I am) Thanks, by the way, for the info so far. Assuming you're legit (which I think is the case), you've answered alot of questions for the community. Quote

I for one am not ready to come to a judgement just yet and believe that you could be telling the truth. You made a new account, Heroic?Anyways, Uramak's cape is a variation of the one on the DV set--it clips on the shoulders and tattered on the bottom. He has a orange eyestalk and a gray-ish secondary color. And Lewa can now move his head based on his new build. I seem to recall a few months back on 4chan someone posting about Nekchir being one of the "chir"s (wasn't his name different a few months back?), I never really understood what was going on with that.

That's probably my main concern for the new sets. The only main source of silver on the Toa are the new chest under-armor pieces. Edited August 21, 2015 by Nekchir Quote
MrJoeBoto Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) I have a few more questions Does Kopaka's mask still have a triple scope like the 2015 mask? Or is it different? Does Pohatu still has trans-lime green as part of his color scheme? Thanks so much! Edited August 21, 2015 by MrJoeBoto Quote
