Mesonak Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Kopaka was in the list from several days ago, so I'm pretty positive Amazon just doesn't have him listed for whatever reason. Additionally, Umarak is likely ice-themed. :P Quote
TheBrickPal Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Perhaps Unifier is just a mistranslation of Master (or Toa)? Quote
Lyichir Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Ooh, I wonder if the "creatures" are familiar-like elemental companions for the Toa. That'd be pretty cool. I've always wanted a wave of pets. :3 Quote
Tazakk Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) More from searching by set number: Terak Creature of Earth Pohatu Unifier of Stone Gali Unifier of Water Tahu Unifier of Fire It does seem as if there is no Ice creature in the lineup, and there's also apparently no space as far as set numbers go for Kopaka, unless he is numbered separately from the other Toa and hasn't been listed yet.

CM4Sci Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) EDIT: Ninja'd. Forgot some: 71306 Pohatu Unifier of Stone 71307 Gali Unifier of Water 71304 Terak Creature of Earth Edited August 5, 2015 by CM4Sci Quote
Aanchir Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Perhaps Unifier is just a mistranslation of Master (or Toa)? No. "Toa" wouldn't be translated at all if that were the actual name, and this year's sets use "Meister" as a translation for "Master", so if next year's sets use a different word in German they probably use a different word across all languages. It's doesn't surprise me that the Toa can go by multiple description or titles, just as BIONICLE: Mask of Light called Tahu the "Spirit of Fire" instead of "Toa of Fire" or "Master of Fire". Quote
Aanchir Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Kopaka's dead?! It seems that way, but he was actually resurrected at Ekimu Tower as the Toa of Titanium, and then captured by Master Makuta to use as bait so the other Toa would enter his Tournament of Elements. Er, on second thought, let's not jump to conclusions. He might be coming out later in the year as part of a co-pack or vehicle set. Quote
CabooseBM Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 I absolutely would not mind if TLG skipped making new mask molds for the Toa in favor of new molds of other kinds of parts. Like new FEET. Quote
GK733 Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Kopaka's dead?! I hope not and it would be a rather lame choice considering what Ninjago did... The use of the word creature could imply these are not purely clone sets and wouldn't be part of the same group. Because if they all are creatures that move on four legs they would had been better as just crawlers. At this point I highly believe we get pics during this week and will see if Kopaka appears there.

Mesonak Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) I just want everybody to keep in mind that Kopaka WAS ON the list we got several days ago, which correlates perfectly with these listings making it 100% legitimate. He will be in the wave. He just wasn't on Amazon for whatever reason. Edited August 5, 2015 by Mesonak Quote
VBBN Posted August 5, 2015 Author Posted August 5, 2015 We also don't have the creature of Ice's name yet. #kopakamastertrole Quote

Maybe he'll be a store exclusive? :???: There's any number of reasons he might not be on Amazon, but what I find more surprising is that his set number won't be in sequence with the other Toa, which suggests to me it might somehow be a different type of set.

Certainly possible, I suppose, but I'm inclined to doubt it; on the Brickpicker list, Kopaka came directly after "Hunter." This leads me to believe his set number is probably 71311, unless that number is taken by another set and I just don't realize it. That being said, I don't fully understand why they would break up the sequencing that way. Hopefully we'll have concrete answers soon enough. Edited August 5, 2015 by Mesonak Quote
Tazakk Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Kind of interesting that they seem to be abandoning the idea of primarily using titles for characters on the sets. Everyone's got a name this wave, so maybe they've decided that names don't hurt as long as the titles are there to provide more reflexive identification. Quote

He will be in the wave. He just wasn't on Amazon for whatever reason. There is no place for him on the article list. The list goes from -00 to -10, starts with the Creatures and ends with Umarak. So there's exactly five places for the Toa in the list. Edited August 5, 2015 by Tremah Quote
Quisoves Pugnat Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 So, this information seems to disprove the list posted on the TTV boards. What it says about the 4Chan information, I'm not sure. Spring 2015 seems quite early for Summer 2016 sets to be tested, but LEGO might design a year's worth of sets at once (as was done with Power Miners, for example.) The creatures do lend it a modicum of credence. Quote

So there's exactly five places for the Toa in the list. Again, the initial Brickpicker list had Kopaka featured after "Hunter." As such, in theory, that would give him the set number of 71311.

Nekchir Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Ugh, I hope the 'Creatures' have masks, and hopefully they're not all the same, like the Protectors. Quote

TheOneVeyronian Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) Interesting, some names for next year's sets! I'm intrigued by the Creatures. They really sound like Rahi but with individual names (I agree with whoever said "pets" really, creatures with names just scream pets / companions to me). Also the Toa seem to be called "Unifiers" - I wonder what possibly they could be unifying? Elements? Also, could Umarak be a good guy or an evil guy? Where's the rumoured Toa Ekimu or is it possible he's just in the Sumemr Wave instead? These names throw up a lot of questions but no real answers. And I think Kopaka and an Ice Creature will turn up in this wave... well why not? The only thing I don't like is we've got the same Toa - I hope they're significantly different in appearance from this year's Toa - even if they represented them in dark colours I'd be fine with that... Gali would give me Dark Blue shells if that was the case Maybe Kopaka is an actual titan? I swear to God, if he is a Titan and they call him Kopaka XL...

Mandate Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) Yeah... I never placed any stock in the 4chan "leak" and especially not the "Ghost" one so fine by me. With Umarak's name known, the 4chan rumor is effectively debunked. Edited August 5, 2015 by Mandate Quote
mysteriouspi Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) Maybe Kopaka is an actual titan? Kopaka XL, anyone? EDIT: Kapura'd by TheOneVeyronian on that one. Glad to see Umarak is not, in fact, Ekimu. New characters are welcome. Edited August 5, 2015 by mysteriouspi Quote
Tremah Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) With Umarak's name known, the 4chan rumor is effectively debunked. This may be second wave though. Edited August 5, 2015 by Tremah Quote
Nekchir Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Ghosts could totally be the summer wave, lol. Quote
