VBBN Posted October 20, 2008 Author Posted October 20, 2008 I think that the symbol (which was attached to a pic of MN's head) was a graphic way of writing '09. Remember that GregF said that 2008 was supossed to be about saving MN, not awaking him. Since MN has changed since his pic in the vid, we can assume that these are old pics, and that may have been a concept pic for the original 2009 story, which is the 2008 story. BTW, Can anyone answer the Toy Fair Question????~iLego94 I just did. Look at the post above you.
iLego94 Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 I just did. Look at the post above you. Look at my post now question. I was asking about a question i hadn't asked XD ~iLego94
Nightmare Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Is it just me, or the pic under Green thing concept art is half the Visrtues symbol with a 9 in the back making the number 39?
Tyranide Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Oh, this is interesting.I was re-watching the Bionicle concept video that was leaked, or something like that, on youtube, and I found this little tid bit: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3004/295880...b4296703c_o.png Now I am trying to figure out who this is. It appears he has a an axe. Any guesses? It doesn't look like axonn, it's for 2009. I always thought it's just Lewa Mata concept. What comes first, the Toy Fair or leaked summer photos?? Photos first, but they appear usually somewhere two weeks before Toy Fair (as I recall happened with Mistika), so it doesn't really makes any difference. I don't like the idea of Mata Nui being completely mechanical. What prevents from making him half-rock? Y'see, wouldn't it be cool to have animation like that: The island of Mata Nui (now barren, after Bohrok did their work) suddenly shudders and begins to rise slowly. (Angle changes from aerial view to island side.) The giant rock wall rises out of water... then strangely looking mechanisms, pistons, blah-blah-blah... (And remember to show it close so the watchers won't be able to get full picture!) And suddenly - woah! - shot from the distance of this giant Mata Nui silhouette. Strange mechanisms integrated into rock are waaaay cooler that just strange mechanisms))
hewkii9 Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 WTF.SKRALL IS NOT A SHE?!?! NOES! The phrase is dead!
VBBN Posted October 20, 2008 Author Posted October 20, 2008 Look at my post now question. I was asking about a question i hadn't asked XD~iLego94 The summer pics usually come first, but they are pretty much finals, not prototypes. Around Janurary/late end of December is when they come out most times.
Bundalings Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) NOES! The phrase is dead! I'll keep saying it. =P ~Bunda Heeeey... we can use that phrase when referencing Eurobricks on BZP. Edited October 20, 2008 by Bundalings
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Anyone got the guide yet? -ZotS

Bundalings Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 J-j-j-j-j-jungle! Sweet. Too bad they didn't replace a dupe element like Earth or Ice though... ~Bunda
Lepaka Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Jungle? Yayz! That must be like plantlife or something!
Pencoin Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 (edited) Hi guys I'm back .... <pinches self> Oh nice. Fruit launchers: Great! Bad Guys eating bad tasting stew: Performance Drugs anyone? Mata Nui: Ok i guess, but well that is Makuta now, you realize? New pics: Aww Iron man isnt Iron man anymore at least Big dog is now a Dinosaur. Everything else: Pretty good. Summer sets already made: Oh nice, this is very good for leakage. Here are all my thoughts on the new pics: Skrall: I like you alot my better my male friend, you might be my fav. Malum: I was Iron Man, now im a bit rubbish, the curse of blue pins gets him, not liking the new hunchedness. Gresh: Hello Tarzan, I actually like this better then the proto, it is them arm blades. Tarix: I like you alot more now even though you haven't been changed at all. Its the pose. Strakk: Still cool. Vorox: What a shame he looks lovely but the curse of blue gets him once more. Fero and Skirmix: Yes. Atakus: Is this guy a Vortigunt? Whats up three eyes? Good weapon choice also note the colour scheme is not the same as Skralls. Raanu: You're ok nothing special. Tarduk: Are those wings? To much Red-bull I think. Berix: Metus: Zesk: Aren't you my cute baby, oh yes you are. Edited October 21, 2008 by Pencoin
Lemonardo 114 Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 @Lemonardo 114, Did you get the book yet?? No. It seems that while in USA Bionicle books are released way before official date, in Poland it's the opposite.
Pencoin Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 No. It seems that while in USA Bionicle books are released way before official date, in Poland it's the opposite. <looks at username> Thristy... As soon as you get that book mate, don't worry about taking ages to get clear pics up just give ups the gossip first and then well accept pics .

Great, GREAT thanks)
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Somehow, everything looks cooler in black and white. Bionicle should try out some entire comics without color... specially since Arres Scrotum Ulises Arreola sucks. =P Oh, and shameless advertising. -Ikk
---Vertea--- Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 I just sent Greg a question or two on whether or not a Glatorian can even equip a mask.
Icesaber Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 (edited) Ew, where'd clearer pics come from?And anyone else but me NOT like that Mata Nui poster? It loos oldskool, but in a cornball way... like looking at a Marvel comic robot from the 70's kind of not cool. I imagined MN as a giant, organic rock being who eventually fuses with the MU. This drawing looks too...Transformers-like. I like the fruit launchers in story, though not the set version (Zamor with holes would've been much better). My opinion of the sets have not changed much other than that I dislike the dragon guy a lot more now, I would've preferred a zamor launcher with holey zamors, I disapprove of the silver in Malum's weapon, I like Gresh's new blades, I think Strakk has transparent joints, Atakus should've had trans-red weapons to match his eyes plus they look better on him, and I like the new armor on Vorox's thighs and forearms. Edited October 21, 2008 by Icesaber
Wrinkledlion X Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Mata Nui looks a lot less transformer-like in the dead-on angled concept art. I think it may have been the perspective that made him look so blocky.
Bundalings Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 Mata Nui looks a lot less transformer-like in the dead-on angled concept art. I think it may have been the perspective that made him look so blocky. Yeah, the head-on picture looks much better. More... ancient-looking. ~Bunda
