The best scenario is of course that Mata Nui gets bored of the Toa, leaves to go to another planet and watch gladiators fight, but loses the bets he places SO bad that he has to sell off most of his body and STILL needs to fight in the ring himself so the loansharks don't take what little he's got left.

And then there's his drinking problem to support...

Well, Greg says he does have character flaws.

But its a kiddie book, which really doesn't matter to the storyline.

Just bringing to attention that Mata Nui is going to be in the movie. I bet he has the worst voice, just for lulz.

Well these are.......interesting. As most people, i like some but not others.

Gresh- Pretty cool, like the colours and the mask looks decent

Malum- Boring. I like red characters, but there isn't really anything to excite me in this guy.

Skrall- Pretty awsome, like the weapon, shield and head. Will probably get him if they don't make many modifications to the final set.

Strakk- Again, very cool. Not much more to say.

Tarix- Wow, a blue guy i actually like the look of! Looks like a proper gladiator

Vorox- Hmm, undecided. Will have to see what the final set looks like before i can make proper judgement

Atakus- Fantastic. Put it into preduction NOW lego.

Berix- Not too keen. Mask looks weird and too many old parts.

Metus- Very cool (awful pun i know) liking the look of the shield, but blurry picture, so can't say anything more for now

Raanu- Undecided. The shield looks odd

Tarduk- Interesting to say the least, hopefully they change the mask a little though

Zesk- Too blury a picture to make comment.

Man, Tuma is quickly looking to be one of the worst titans ever. He's just a poorly executed cookie cutter design with a lot of weapons slapped on.

Well.. He does have a good mask,(the silver dinged-up look is cool), but to me, his name is what rocks!

Never been a fan of titans, and i have to say, not to keen on this guy. I can't understand how lego got away with this name:

1. As someone already pointed out, it sounds too much like "Tumour" and i guess some accents with emphasise that.

2. Another Bionicle named after a Maori God? Oh dear.....

I agree, he looks suck.

Fingers crossed he has the Irish voice.

what?, he's megablocking great, this is stupid like with the mistika:

"the mistika sucks..the mistika sucks"

"the 2008 summer sucks like their sets"

said so much peolple, and now:

"the 2008 is great!!"

"we love the mistika!!!".

you will see, when the 2009 sets get released you will change your mind-think

Looks exactly the same. I hope it looks the same in person... great for revamps.

I've never minded the Mistika. Heck, Krika is one of my favorite sets ever. And the Glatorian sets look great as well, excluding Metus, (freaky mask, might look better when he get pics) Atakus, (annoying proportions, hideous mask, again, he might be better than he looks) Malum, (BORING) and Tuma. (a freaking mess of parts, can't tell limb from limb, boring and thoroughly revolting at the same time. Maybe a bit better in real life, but I don't think I'll ever find any love in my heart for this guy. Some lovely parts, though.)

But for the most part 2009 looks great. I haven't been this optimistic about new sets since the Barraki, and they didn't disappoint.

BTW, despite appearances, probably not many people changed their minds about [insert new set line]. It's just different people talking. When the pics first appear, the loud, angry people vent, and by the time they come out, the quieter happy people are discussing. I'm not saying no one ever changes their mind, but it probably doesn't happen as often as one would think.

I still hate the Toa Mistika, perhaps even WORSE now that I've seen review pics of them.

Well, the HEROES anyway. All 3 bad guys are great parts sets, of which I had little doubt at any time.

I do agree that Tuma is a decent set (again, as parts) and it's a decent enough action figure to reel in the fanboy kiddies.

I just like... I have nothing bad to say about 2009.

I'm not seeing anything I consider a terrible mistake or "unfortunate" in any way.

And christ... I didn't even feel like that with 2001!

The only thing uncertain is if other content (shitty movie, books or comics) might detract from the experience.

But from the standpoint of just looking at these 2009 set pics... mighty Hades things are looking GREAT!

Man, Tuma is quickly looking to be one of the worst titans ever. He's just a poorly executed cookie cutter design with a lot of weapons slapped on.

I love him. He's solid, got nice colours, and has a sword, gun, and back fin-things which totally make me think Gundam.

Fingers crossed he has the Irish voice.

I suppose that's better than the dumb brute voice (Whenua/Onua).

I mean, you know. They have to stuff him up somehow.

I hated the Mistaker when I first saw pictures of them and I still hate them now. I do like the the 2009 sets bar a few. I agree with Jinzo it could be spoilt by the other media.

How can you say Tuma looks anything like a Gundam? Tuma is horrible, I mean look at the 'wings' god or not they look really odd on him and look at the feet on his legs they don't look sturdy at all and look really odd.

well, i think tuma desn't look so cool, i will likke if he was got 6 arms and 4 legs, with a tail

I agree Tuma's mask looks like Nidhiki's... Great for MODIng him for the movie.

but i will love a set like as i said

That would be so awesome.

Anyways, though overall he looks a bit dull, I'll probably buy Tuma for two reasons:

-Good pieces (Head, green Skrall-swords)

-First true Maori name in years (We must support it!)

Also, has it occurred to anyone that Skrall's shield has a labyrinth-pattern on it? Perhaps the underground village is styled similarly to the Labyrinth of Greek Mythology?
