Wrinkledlion X Posted December 26, 2008 Posted December 26, 2008 I liked the new Destiny War... Anyone think the "island fortress under siege" that Krakua protects is Metru Nui?
The Alchemyst Posted December 26, 2008 Posted December 26, 2008 I liked the new Destiny War... Anyone think the "island fortress under siege" that Krakua protects is Metru Nui? Oh wow, I didn't realize that. That's actually pretty epic. No one saw that coming. Everyone in '04 was thinking it'd be some new island, where new stories could take place with Matoran. But it was Metru Nui all along. That's pretty darn epic. Tricky GregF. [-The Alchemyst-]
Wrinkledlion X Posted December 26, 2008 Posted December 26, 2008 I PMed him about it. If this is true, this is probably the most surprising twist ever.
Algernon Posted December 26, 2008 Posted December 26, 2008 I just bought Strakk. It's the first BIONICLE set I've purchased since 2007. Not bad by all accounts. I love the aesthetics. LEGO's finally got an art team that's worth keeping... the axe is possibly the coolest Bionicle weapon since Tahu's fire sword.
Bara Magna Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 It isn't Metru Nui. He was the SOLE defender of a beseiged island fortress.
Wrinkledlion X Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 ...And we know all the other Toa are splitting up and leaving for the rest of the MU.
MercenaryXero Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 DW9 would be just fine, except for the fact that we already know how it ends. It seems like Greg is trying a bit too hard to stress the twistyness of the twist.
Bundalings Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 Having got the Ignika for Christmas in the plastic, I can safely say it's the coolest Bionicle mask ever and that I would love for Mata Nui to have the exact same mask in gold. On the whole Toa Ignika is... awesome. A much better set than I ever anticipated. So I'm going to place a S@H order, hopefully tomorrow. I'm looking at getting Strakk, Zesk, and Icarax. I'm hoping to get Vorox, Gresh, and Berix for my birthday in mid January. ~Bunda
Antrozek Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 im requested to a friend of mine that got da new brickmaster for scan the new 2009 Glatorian Comic, i hope he can scan it soon.

Antrozek Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 Really!?! That's early. Then again, comics have been arriving early for the past few months. you haven't looked at the Brickshelf folder with 2009 Brickmaster Scans? IM STILL WAITING FOR DA COMIC brickmaster 2009
Refia Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) Say, is this Toa Mata Nui? (cut from the scans) He looks like it, comparing this figure to the canister image from earlier... I seem to recognize the shape of the Ignika here... Edited December 27, 2008 by Refia
Pencoin Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) You are correct Refia. It looks like the Iggy there, at least at the top... odd. So it seems, Mata and Iggy hang out with in the wildy with the Zesks and Voroxs, Maybe he is tryinhg to free them from cruelty? Edited December 27, 2008 by Pencoin
Refia Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) Or evolving all Zesk and Vorox back to their original form. =p I must say, this black picture makes me like the Mata Nui set a lot more. The canister made his weapon look weird. Here, we can get a better look. Looks like some sort of bladed staff. His shoulder armour intrigues me. Most of all, this picture seems to be having a 2008 Ignika, an absolute must for the set if it wants to be liked by me. EDIT: I forgot to say, but the map with the location names is awesome. I really, really missed having names for the geographical features of a setting in Bionicle. Really, names were part of what made Mata Nui (island) so awesome. Mount Ihu, Tren Krom River, Naho Bay... It gives soul and identity to a location, which Metru Nui, Voya Nui, Mahri Nui and Karda Nui all sorely lacked. Bara Magna, I love you! Edited December 27, 2008 by Refia
Antrozek Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) i like the Symbol of each Tribe (That symbol that is in the Circle back to the Agori-Glatorian) Say, is this Toa Mata Nui? (cut from the scans) He looks like it, comparing this figure to the canister image from earlier... I seem to recognize the shape of the Ignika here... AAAND, he have a new torso that is NOT a inika torso, it looks lke a bit, but it ISN'T a Inika torso Edited December 27, 2008 by Antrozek
Phantoka Kopaka Nuva Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 Skrall River? That's wicked. And there's a Hot Spring near Tesara! Never thought of seeing that in BIONICLE... How come Atero isn't on the map? And how come only Tesara and Roxtus are shown to have arenas? Love how they put a Toa Mata Nui teaser on the map. And Antrozek, I think Mata Nui has an Inika torso. The Onua Mistika chest armor is what's making it look different.

Have you see that in the bara Magna map it aparears things that look like to the Mata Nui body?

Strakk Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) Since I don't think there'll be winter exclusives I think you are right. Also the shoulder armour seem the Mata Nui one. And... He seems to have the Ignika. Edited December 27, 2008 by Strakk
---Vertea--- Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 WOW! The Bara Magna map is the coolest since 2001! I'm really eager for scans of the comic, now!
Phantoka Kopaka Nuva Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 I pasted the 2 halves of the Bara Magna map together, and this is what it should look like: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/PirakaHa.../bara_magna.jpg Don't blame me for the white gap. Blame the guy who scanned it.
JINZONINGEN73 Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 I's surprised at that Mata Nui silhouette. Granted, the canister pic was shoddy, but the head certainly doesn't look all Ignikaey like this newer one does. Maybe we'll get a Ignika-like Ignika... or something? Also interesting is it seems that the lower leg is a regular old lower leg... but with an add-on ankle guard. Awesome.
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 Mata Nui! Literally! Tons of geographical names... broken Great Spirits buried in the sands... Toa Mata Nui looking awesome... White Quartz Mountains. That's so it, '09 beats '04 and ranks alongside '01. =D -Ikk
Zee toa of sonics Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) Wow, this is the best year since '01! I love the whole concept of the broken Mata-nui parts laying in the desert. Then the entire year is WIN because Greg answered our calls for a Mata-nui set. The Ankle Bracelets, new element themed weapons, masks, and armor make it feel like 2001 again. -zee Edited December 27, 2008 by Zee toa of sonics
