80 Dollar Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 So... Maium - Raanu Gresh - Tarduk Tarix - Berix are probably the good guys... I´m looking forward to the summer sets...I like titan sets better than canisters and little sets...
Pencoin Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) Maybe they will be bad/good but not evil-bad but bad-megablocks if you know what I mean? . Also dont forget we could be getting a few more titans that are exclusives in Dec Edited August 21, 2008 by Pencoin
Hotshot Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 my Bioncle 2009 get list Skrall: The sword and the shield is cool and the mask to, but most read a review first. Gresh: No, he/she is cool, but the are somthing i can't point out. Tarix: Most see a review first. Strakk: Cool mask, love the axe, buy. Vorox: Like it but not buy. Mulum: BUY Gone by the small fire , and ice not more Titan: Tuma: love, Buy Fero & Skirmix : Love to, Buy
80 Dollar Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Maybe they will be bad/good but not evil-bad but bad-megablocks if you know what I mean? . To be honest...no I don´t. :D I like that there are finally some meelee weapons... I still hope that some things will change, though. For example : Berix´s weapons That big red dragons´ head. Launchers (they might not because of the new meelee weapons cost more) Raanu´s weapon and shield and give him the same arms as legs. (His mask is so cool and yet he is totally ruined by these things...) Skrall´s shield. Tuma´s sword and upper-arm armor. Vorox´s Hewkii weapon. ....
Kakihara Smile Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Ok, we know any set that looks like an animal or insect is always bad in lego's mind, right? (This drives me super nuts but that is another story). So, because of the inclusion of a bug-like set, I'd say these sets are split good/bad. I'd rather have them all just be gladiatos but whatever the story will probably be bad anyway. Bad are probably the white one, the tan one, and the red one because they are clumped together. Good are the others since they are clumped on the other side. Red is probably the bad leader and green is probably the good. (Because of the larger pics). On another note to everybody calling them megabloks... You're right, they do look like megabloks. And the hands do remind me of KK but I think they will make nicepieces none-the-less. (I'm actually super hyped about the hands).
Pencoin Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) Sorry I didnt mean Megabloks the word I mean was filtered. I was trying to say the could be neutrul/bad as in Wario from Mario or Shadow from Sonic the Hedgehog. Also i love these sets, they are everything i hoped for, well not everything but mostly.

Pate-keetongu Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/lokosupe...ay/p1000933.jpg in this picture, skirmix has dark red fenrakk skull, but in small box picture, it's silver. I really would like it red.. what do you think?
Pencoin Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Yeah my Mother noticed that as well, I think it will be red because the original was silver so it could be prototype.
Nightmare Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 True, that could be a protoype. Remember that the first Phantoka pictures to appear had a Silver Masked/winged Antroz and later changed it to red and black.
Pencoin Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 True that, Also I was just thinking Vastus was in a villiage, so what if say there are alot of villiages and they send fighters to an arena where they fight to try and wint he villiage money, but there is behind the scenes rigging. That sounds plausiable no?
Strakk Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 The 2009 sets look really good. The problem is that the new pieces are only a few. My favourite Gladiatoran is Strakk did you get it? His mask seems very unique. Have you noticed that the old eyes colours (some of them) are back? It only me or Skrall is black and purple???
Pencoin Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Yep alot of old stuff seems to be back old colours elemental stuff a movie based on it collectables
Strakk Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Yep alot of old stuff seems to be backold colours elemental stuff a movie based on it collectables Collectables? Are you sure?
Pencoin Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Well thats what these Gears look like some kind of game/collectable
Strakk Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Ahh, You meant that. Oh yes, it might be. I'm curious of it.
Corvus Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Well...I was hoping for a more elemental feel in the 2009 sets, and I guess I got it. Too much. Skrall: Meh. Not bad but not good, either. Gresh: Looks like the creature from the Black Lagoon. Tarix: Liking him/her. Very noble looking, even if she is too tall and has the all the old pieces... Strakk: Eesh. Looks like some kind of abominable snowman thing. Not sure about the mask- don't like the mouth, and not liking the 'ice' on him. Can anyone say megablocks? Vorox: Now this I like. Tan, stinger- but what's with his weapon? That's Hewkii's. Doesn't fit. Maium: Took me a while to figure out that this wasn't a titan. Can't tell, but he looks great. 'Matoran': Better than last year. The hands actually work on them, but I'm still not sure about hands after all this time. Tuma: This I like. Looking good. Black and green. Fero and Skirmix: I hope that the red looks off because they're prelim pix. Great set, though. Overall: I am happy that these guys are more elemental, but what are they? These can't be Toa. I saw something about "Glatoran". Are these guys gladiators? I'm not happy that these guys (Gresh, Strakk, and maybe Skrall) look like something megablocks would make, seriously. The re-use of the whatchamacallit shooters... It's nice that they're not massive like the past two and a half years, and the spikes- now that's an interesting touch. What is with Gresh? He's supposed to be air, but he looks like some mix between water and carnivorous plant.
Pencoin Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Dont worry these are prelims, alot of the things you were worried about seem to be due to being prelimnary. I'm Starting to think people are hating Bionicle for being Bionicle, in my thoughts these are a big step over this years but people still complain. .

Well I like them. The hands and elemental look they have really works for me. I just hope the story does these sets justice. Edited August 21, 2008 by Holy Diver
Pencoin Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Glad someone agrees . I hope as well the story/movie are pretty good, but even if there not I still got Zesk .
Omega Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) I'm Starting to think people are hating Bionicle for being Bionicle, in my thoughts these are a big step over this years but people still complain. . I don't believe it , how can people hate this years line up, its one of the best since piraka. I think people are getting too critical these days. Anyway ,i love them all And for once i feel the matoran are worth getting Edited August 21, 2008 by Omega
Pencoin Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Yeah I'm not getting critical 'til i have 'em in my hands, but one thing I will be critical about is that people stop calling them Matoran, 'cause their not.
Asuka Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 He only called you a megablocking bastard because supposedly the pictures give the companies in knock- off factories a chance to duplicate them and put crap versions out :P I think that´s a legend. 1. These pics´re from a retailer catalogue, one out of plenty out there... and any knock-off factory´ll be more than able to get them on their own, if they want so. And since blank copies of other companies´ products´re only working in countries without a proper enforcement of international rights, they´re able to do what they want anyways. To fix that problem is a question of international trade relations and it needs the work of governments and international commissions to do so. 2. Serious competitors´re also well able to get them on their own, but they´re not allowed to simply copy them due to said copyrights. So, to develop at least something similar would cost them much time... I guess they would by far prefer pics and infos straight from the beginning of the design process... The only real danger of sales loss for TLC that I´m able to see and that´s related to the hype for such preliminary stuff´s that kids stop to buy this year´s sets in order to save money for the cool sets of the future... but hey, as if they really could live without LEGO for so long...
Antrozek Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 all the bionicles that apparear in that catalog are evil, the good ones comes next
iLego94 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Hi guys ( I'm iVahi on BZP if anyone cares) Do you know if Mata Nui will be released in the summer? ANd, wha happened to that full list with all the names a few pages back? ~iLego
