Phantoka_Chirox Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 OMG thoose pics are awesome! I just nnoticed something the Heads of the 2009 matoran are the AV matoran heads BUT upsidde down! what I mean is that the back side (the pointy bit) of the Av matoran head is the mouth/chin/whatever!
Pencoin Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 VERY interesting, actually... I'm curious as to WHY they are each so important. What could it be that Mata Nui has that this universe needs, and why could he not exist without them...AHA! Mata Nui need these beings because the are the only ones who can help him in a crisis, and they need him because his duty was to fight the evil that now spreads over this new universe. Greg DID say that MN had a greater purpose... You're wrong.
Cyclone Titan Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 When you start liking Matoran more than the already good Toa, you know something wonderful has happened. I really do like the Matoran, the masks are eye-catching and there are some nice weapons. As for the Toa, I like them all, but my favorite is the blue/gold one. That is a color scheme I can live with and the mask is pretty good too. Titans are good too. All in all, this looks to be a good year for Bionicle. CT
Phantoka Kopaka Nuva Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Atakus : He is still the same...still cool. 8 / 10Raanu : Looks a bit better on this picture. The mask is awesome 9 / 10 Tarduk : The pic is making him look a bit better tham before... 8 / 10 Berix : Better and better, the mask is original. 8 / 10 Metus : Improved mask...love the snowflake. He is the first small set that has new molded tool! 9 / 10 Zesk : Good, good, very creative. 8 / 10 Skrall : I still don´t get this 3rd wrist but nonetheless, he is a good set. Anyone noticed that life counter on his foot? 7 / 10 Malum : He is still the most awesome red set... 9 / 10 Gresh : The best canister set... 10 / 10 Tarix : Nothing special about this set, the gold pieces and his mask are the only things that save him. 7 / 10 Strakk : Where is the grin that made him so cool on the very first picture? 8 / 10 Vorox : He stole Hewkii´s weapon but the mask is cool so... 7 / 10 Fero & Skirmix : They totally look like the SE set...Fero probably has Skrall´s mask but they look decent. 8 / 10 Tuma : Awesome colors, awesome mask. 10 / 10 I disagree with the Metus part. Atakus has 2 new GITD swords (and no, they're not the same as Skrall's sword. I double-checked.) A question: do any of the summer canister sets' names (other than Mata Nui) have meaning, like the Glatorian's names? Lastly, if none of you guys are going to post the "Makuta massacre" scene from BL11 here, then will someone just PM it to me please? I'm begging on my knees here!!!
Pencoin Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Kiina is Latin for China, whereas Stronius seems to be devired from the English word: Strong.
Pate-keetongu Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Kiina is Latin for China. And also Finnish.
Strakk Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Strakk is so cool in these new pics. Still not too happy about the rahi or what it is.
Pencoin Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Still not too happy about the rahi or what it is. Whats that supposed to mean!?
Strakk Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) Whats that supposed to mean!? Greg said that in 2009 there won't be rahi but maybe there are just rahi with an other name so I didn't know how to call Skirmix. Edited October 28, 2008 by Strakk
Pencoin Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Greg said that in 2009 there won't be rahi but maybe there are just rahi with an other name so I didn't know how to call Skirmix. I mean why the megablok you skitting Skirmix!
Brickthing Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 I mean why the megablok you skitting Skirmix! Well, it is just a red kikalano with more current parts isn't it? I still like it though. :)
hewkii9 Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 He's a flipping dinosaur, not a mere Kikanalo! Although for the life of me you'd need an engineering degree to flip a dinosaur...
Strakk Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 I mean why the megablok you skitting Skirmix! Because it hasn't got as many new pieces as I wanted. That's all. I like him but I'm not 100 % happy because of that. I didn't want to mean that I dislike it. I'm sorry if you thought that.
Algernon Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 ...Skirmix really isn't that good. His design is boring and the whole idea has been done before. Tuma, on the other hand, looks fantastic.
iLego94 Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Anyone get the Polish guide yet?? If not, just get on the phone with the book store, and whine, thats how I got TFB so early :P ~iLego
VBBN Posted October 28, 2008 Author Posted October 28, 2008 Feel and skirmix? Other than a few recolors, their isn't really much to him. And I don't like his build very much. Fero also uses a bit to much of those swords once again. However, I like his concept, and as long as he is only $20, I will get him. At the moment, I am looking forward to: Vorox and Zesk Skrall and Atakus Metus Tarix Fero and Skirmix
S-N Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Greg said that in 2009 there won't be rahi but maybe there are just rahi with an other name so I didn't know how to call Skirmix. There are creatures in 2009, but they're not Rahi, since thats a MU term...
Klonoa Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Are there really different backgrounds for each box?! YES!!! That doesn't mean I'll be buying any more than Vorox though.
---Vertea--- Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Vorox and Strakk for me. And thier respective little sets, as well. Possibly Tarduk and Atakus.
VBBN Posted October 28, 2008 Author Posted October 28, 2008 Prices for Euro: 5,99 for the impulses 12,99 for the Glatorians 18,90 for Skirmix and Tuma OR: 6,99 13,99 21,99 The webiste here has two prices it appears. And US prices: $6.00 for matoran $13.00 for Glatorians $20.00 for Titans (US prices are estmiates of final prices) Also, the website has the arrival time as MARCH Please let this not be true.
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) Since the site is German and lists the prices in Euros, obviously the month of release is March -- winter sets are always released in March in Europe. -Ikk Edited October 29, 2008 by Ikki o' Moopyville
Bundalings Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) Skrall : I still don´t get this 3rd wrist but nonetheless, he is a good set. Anyone noticed that life counter on his foot? 7 / 10 This has been mentioned several times. Vorox also has the counter on his foot. OMG thoose pics are awesome!I just nnoticed something the Heads of the 2009 matoran are the AV matoran heads BUT upsidde down! what I mean is that the back side (the pointy bit) of the Av matoran head is the mouth/chin/whatever! Ummm... pretty positive those are new parts. Look at the texture. The length is also too great on the Av Matoran heads. I mean why the megablok you skitting Skirmix! 'Cause he has a sucky tail and legs. ~Bunda Edit: I disagree with the Metus part. Atakus has 2 new GITD swords (and no, they're not the same as Skrall's sword. I double-checked.)Lastly, if none of you guys are going to post the "Makuta massacre" scene from BL11 here, then will someone just PM it to me please? I'm begging on my knees here!!! Actually they are the same... different colors, yes, but the same mold. It's a long scene, spread throughout the book. Why don't you just go buy the thing for yourself? Edited October 29, 2008 by Bundalings
Phantoka Kopaka Nuva Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) It's a long scene, spread throughout the book. Why don't you just go buy the thing for yourself? 2 things: books aren't available where I live, and I'm not allowed to buy stuff online. Also, did anyone notice that Fero doesn't have 2009 hands, but 2008 hands? What's the deal with that? Edited October 29, 2008 by Phantoka Kopaka Nuva
Antrozek Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 finally in argentina in the 2009 we will got lego shops, that means that will got the sets at time and with razonable prices i hope, and in the 2009 there will be a spanish Bionicle site..in other words: SHITDAMN GOOD!!!!
