TheEsquire Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Some people need to get a life..... Are you talking about us or the people who are trolling the fanbase? Quote
Mesonak Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 I think at this point leaks from people are more trouble than they're worth, lol. Shop site or bust. Quote
DraikNova Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 I like the Dimetrodon idea very much! I'd actually want that one to be the jungle one though. For fire, phoenix or dragon....love the idea of a new scorpion for stone, maybe a worm-like thing or......a mole wouldn't be bad either for earth. Oooh an octopus for water, wolf would make perfect sense for ice. A rock worm would be nice. It'd be annoying to deal with the constant Dune memes that'd pop up. But the real reason I suggested the Dimetrodon was that I recently learned that a LEGO version could easily be accurate, considering the fact that it's sail only extended partway up it's bony spines. Putting it in its natural environment would definitely be better though, I've got to agree with you on that. To switch things up further, perhaps a sea scorpion for water and a dragon for ice (it'd be to cliched to give fire a dragon). Quote
BrickJagger Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Are you talking about us or the people who are trolling the fanbase? The trolls. I thought that was obvious. Quote

Hmm yeah ok, I'd totally be down with that...maybe also having....something like a spike lizard or frilled lizard for stone element would be interesting. Quote
GK733 Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 I've stated my opinion on him elsewhere but fake leaks like these raise false hopes and even if we don't see any leaks before the actual sets there's a great change I'll be disappointed of them because this troll set the bar too high... Quote
Aanchir Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) *sigh* Well, I'm glad I didn't pay any real attention to the "leaks" he was sharing (some of it was very sketchy, and what wasn't was not substantial enough to draw any meaningful conclusions). Doesn't make me any less disappointed, though. At least he fessed up, but pulling the discussion of so many themes along by a string for four days is just going to end up confusing people in the long run. Hopefully this will be the only reminder the Eurobricks community needs this year to be a bit more skeptical and not latch so tightly onto mere rumors. Edited August 23, 2015 by Aanchir Quote
Timeline15 Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 I agree with the idea that a tunnelling worm might be a good concept for the creature of earth, and I have a couple of idead for others: Jungle: Bird. I think it's likely they'll have a flying creature to accompany Lewa. Stone: Kangaroo. Brown, fights with its feet, perfect match for Pohatu. Quote
MakutaOfWar Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 So, he banned now? Well some of the masks really didn't sound all too promising. Good. Quote
DraikNova Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Huh. I'm surprised I didn't think about the kangaroo. It is indeed perfect as a match for Pohatu. Now, considering the fact that Gali's creature will presumably have to help her on-land, I'd suggest a crocodile. The mental image of an azure crocodile is just too awesome for words. Quote
Timeline15 Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 One good thing about having no known leaks again is that I can go on hoping for new foot pieces. Enough with the clown shoes already! xD An yah Draik, an azure croc does sounds awesome. Quote
Mendicant Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 I would love a new version of the Voodoo Feet. Until such a time I'll stick with the voodoo feet I have for everyone. Quote
TheOneVeyronian Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Wow... I was lied to yesterday... on my birthday I think I'll regress into other hobbies until the SW constraction sets come out. All these embargos, and now with me having zero faith in any leaks, it all gives me no reason to post here for now At least I can still cling to that hope that Earth Blue shells finally become a thing. As well as new feet. And chances to get those SW shells and add-ons in new colours. Quote
Quisoves Pugnat Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 To paraphrase Dwarf Fortress, "it is unfortunate, but not unexpected." As I said before, trolls tend to defy all common sense. Mind, I don't hold any ill-will towards Nekchir. As thoughtless as his actions were, he wasn't acting maliciously. By the time actual leaks surface, folks will be doubting their veracity for months. =P I seriously feel bad for you Bionicle fans. What is it with Bionicle and trolls? Isn't this the fourth time you've been trolled in a month? Some people need to get a life..... I suspect that this stems in no small part from the plethora of genuine BIONICLE-leaks that occurred last summer. Fake leaks are nothing new, and I fear that Gen2 will be saddled with a lot of them. But hey, this did get Eurobricks to crack down even further on purported leaks, so that's a good thing. Quote
Shakar Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 imnotevenmad.jpg Neckir has been a jerk, no doubt. But the set names are still there, it's still "upgraded versions of the 6 Toa we know and love+their 6 elemental pets vs the evil hunter". And starting from that premise, I'm trusting the designers who gave us the (mostly) excellent 2015 sets. All I hope is that the Creatures are varied enough and that Umarak isn't black and red/tr orange. : P (though if he is, I'm going to wonder if there's any story significance). I guess the biggest mystery are the Creatures themselves, since Umarak is of course going to be a humanoid. I'm hoping for some original picks, like the bird and the wolf (which was just perfect for Kopaka), a frog would be cool too. Quote
One Very Agile Cat Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 I guess there really isn't anyone decent in the Bionicle community. :/ RIP in punis any possibility of actual discussion about this God damn line. Quote
DuckBricks Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 I'm really hopeful for the wolf, but what got me was when Nekchir mentioned the 2011 Ninjago Dragon head. Anyway, I wonder what types of heads these creatures will have. Brick built? Perhaps too expensive for $10... Quote

I'm hoping for some original picks, like the bird and the wolf (which was just perfect for Kopaka), a frog would be cool too. Yeah, I was skeptical from the beginning based on Neckir's past behavior, which has (from personal experience) varied from standoffish to outright rude, and to fabricate a fake leak just to string the entire community along is the nail in the coffin. All he is doing is making actual leaks harder and harder to believe, and raising standards for the sets when they do come out. I do agree that so many fake leaks are a symptom of getting the leaks so early last year (which was totally an anomaly and NOT something to be expected every year by the way), which leads others to be more easily believed. The silver lining to all this is that the grievances people held against the sets based on his leaks (lack of Keetorange, for example) do not apply. Quote
Timeline15 Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Hey! no one decent? I haven't trolled anyone yet ;( Here's hoping Pohatu gets some tan shells, since lego seem to be overcoming their fear of it, and purple, in recent years. Quote
DraikNova Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 To paraphrase Dwarf Fortress, "it is unfortunate, but not unexpected." Cue the magma crabs with rapid-fire basalt guns. Which actually could work quite well, now that I think about it. We already have adamantine, after all . Quote
Timeline15 Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 I now want the fire beast to be a crab. Jaller mahri vibes and all that. Quote

DuckBricks Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 I now want the fire beast to be a crab. Jaller mahri vibes and all that. And I want the earth one to be a crab, because of Onu Koru Ussalry vibes ;) They can't give us two crabs... What'll it be?? Or it may be no crabs. Or all crabs! At this point, there's too little info to speculate on other than hopes and wishes... Quote
