The Crazy One Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 I am suprised at a Mata nui model. It will be intresting to see him in a body. I wounder if anymore familiar faces will apear......
~Wrack'n'Ruin~ Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 I've got a feeling that these guys are all in the one place, because even though each background of each sets has a different effect, they're all pictured in front of stone steps. It makes me picture them coming into a Colosseum down through six entrances to roaring crowds. Plus, the big thing behind Maium looks like one from the outside. I bet Tuma is the reigning Champion based on how high up the steps he is. But I could be totally wrong.

But I think Greg mentioned multiple villages. Perhaps each one has it's own Colosseum? Maybe they fight iin their own villages, and then there's a main tournament... This makes me want to start a TBRPG. >_< ~Bunda
~Wrack'n'Ruin~ Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Heh, point. They each battle, forming alliances and grudges, finally whittling it down the the last six, who uncover an evil plot thing, and battle Tuma. Man, I SO want that to happen...

Bundalings Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 In the early reader summary, it says "the Glatorian Vastus" want to learn more fighting moves, etc. So my guess is they're all "Glatorians", fighters, I guess, but the summer ones will have a new name. Of course it's all just placeholders so it might not be correct. I'm thinking maybe Mata Nui is somehow destined to go to this place, and see how barbaric the people are, and maybe he'll learn appreciation for individual life. Greg said he doesn't care about individuals, just the universe as a whole. Idunnolol. :P ~Bunda
~Bitil~ Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Not a bad thought. Next year will be gruesome though. I belive the Latin word for Strakk is something like "massacre, bloodbath, carnage, debris". Creepy. Malum is "evil, misfortune, misdeed, crime, injury, damage". Gresh is "pace, The ability to walk." Vorox is "to eat greedily, swallow up, consume, gorge oneself" Weird. (Yes Nif I give you credit.)
Bundalings Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Higher resolution pics once again on brickshelf... *saves* ~Bunda
S-N Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Higher resolution pics once again on brickshelf... *saves*~Bunda Is that a new foot piece on Malum?
Bundalings Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Is that a new foot piece on Malum? It's a dark red, finless Hordika foot. You could see it in a picture of the front or back of the catalog... I think the pic was deleted though. ~Bunda
Neaku Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 I've noticed that on Skrall and Vorox, the feet have a Metru chest armor piece on the back. Why? Why only one foot and why only those two? And how the heck do the Zamorz stay in the launchers!?!? ><

I assume the spikes hold them in. Might affect launching. ~Bunda

Clonie Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 The T vehicles were listed as SHP last year. So it looks like we're getting more large sets. Hopefully Rahi.
Strakk Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 The T vehicles were listed as SHP last year. So it looks like we're getting more large sets. Hopefully Rahi. I hope so. And HPP was for normal titans. MDP (?) may be for promo sets.
Pencoin Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 That is likely, also if you want to know how the spiky zamors stay in the launchers, look at Tuma.

The Crazy One Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Are you sure that its going to be a gruesome year? Lego have normally steered away from violence in the more public stories but it would be a change, not neccisaraly a nice change but a change. Oh i am pretty sure its Malum.
VBBN Posted August 25, 2008 Author Posted August 25, 2008 Feros counter black while everyone else’s is silver?
Pencoin Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 (edited) To go with his colour prehaps? . Maybe it is grey = good and black = bad? Then again that would mean Strakk was good which doesn't seem likely. Edited August 25, 2008 by Pencoin
Bundalings Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 How can you tell? What do you mean? About the hit counters? It says "counters of life" in the bottom of one of the pics, with a pic of the cog next to it. ~Bunda
