Swert Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Via PM?Wait for Biosector synopsis? ~Bunda That's good for some, but the book spoilers are posted one full month after the first confirmed sale date. So, you'll be waiting quite a long time. (My rules, I'm not changing them) -Swert Quote
Front Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) The total number of ball joints are 25 on the Mata Titan. 12 each side and one for the head. Quite a sturdy set, despite the height and weight. Edited June 26, 2009 by Front Quote
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Yay spoilars! Just ONE question =P Is the Hero Agori character from the MLN game in the book?? -Ikk Quote
Shakar Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Neat spoilers. Strakk's action reminds me of what Malum tried to do him - except this time the loser wants to kill the winner, rather than the opposite. And coincidentally, in both cases he got defeated by a Fire Tribe Glatorian (first Malum, now Ackar). Maybe he instinctually did that because that past near-death experience came to mind? Just a thought I wanted to share, nothing more. Oh, Titan MN rocks. I'm serious. Shakar Quote
The Alchemyst Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Wow. That review changed so many minds. o.o On BZP, and here as well. It does have good parts, I guess, the Yetrax shields, some Keet Parts, 12 ball joints and the Golden Ignika. But if I wanted them badly, I'd buy them off Bricklink. :P I seriously think Toa Mata Nui is one of the worst sets for 2009. =/ If he's anywhere in price range I think he is, I'm pretty sure buying like the Kaxium, or even the Baranus... You'll probably get them for cheaper too. [-The Alchemyst-] Quote
S-N Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) Yay spoilars!Just ONE question =P Is the Hero Agori character from the MLN game in the book?? -Ikk Yup. He gets mentioned briefly though. Some events of the book though really don't fit at all with the events of MNL. =/ Edited June 26, 2009 by S-N Quote
Bfahome Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 The total number of ball joints are 25 on the Mata Titan. 12 each side and one for the head. Quite a sturdy set, despite the height and weight. We were talking about the ball pieces that you can stick an axle all the way through, but w/e. :/ Quote
---Vertea--- Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Remember last year when we were all complaining a lot about the lack of a gold Ignika? It seems that this year has been making us all kinds of happy! Quote
The Iron Knight Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Yup. He gets mentioned briefly though. Some events of the book though really don't fit at all with the events of MNL. =/ Odd. How so? Quote
The Alchemyst Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Hm, that he does. I really do wish he had color cohesion though. The sword itself... 3 parts and different colors. >< That just makes me angry. It could have been all silver! [-The Alchemyst-] Quote
80 Dollar Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 I agree, the mask is a nice touch though, always wanted that piece in gold. Quote
Natman8000 Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 He does look quite good in this one : No, I think that pic shows how bad the color scheme is. Why just no regular yellow? Quote
---Vertea--- Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 He does look quite good in this one : He seems rather impressive, actually. I'm liking that they at least tried for a new design. It's a step forward. And I'll definitely buy him for parts. Quote
Godzuki Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 S-N, can you post a resume of the RoV book or at least send me it in a PM, Please? in my country is impossible to get the Bionicle books... Quote
Bundalings Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) He does look quite good in this one : Eh, still looks like carp. However, I will admit I kinda like the upper torso. The leg pistons are awesome too. I hope they transplant some of these techniques to better sets. Anyone else find it funny that after all the sets we have with the limbs really long (human proportions), now we have a set who's body is too long. XD ~Bunda Edit: Now we need a black Ignika~~~~~~ Edited June 26, 2009 by Bundalings Quote
The Alchemyst Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 He just needs a tad longer legs, I think. His proportions will be great then. The chest design is great, I think it's the best part of the set. Then when it gets to the protruding silver pistons, the shape gets really awkward and stick-like. I still don't get why there are all these shades, other than to cut costs. =/ It's an exclusive, it should have some decent recolors [One is not enough. >>]. [-The Alchemyst-] Quote
The Iron Knight Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 He does look quite good in this one : My main gripe is those gold Inika armor pieces. Ignika already throws off the color scheme (but it's gold, so I can't complain), but the armor just looks misplaced... Quote
Makuta'sdarkslave Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 I actually really like this new Mata nui set. Despite the random mish-mash of colors, it still seems to look pretty good to my eyes. It's a big set, got a fair amount of pieces. I missed out on Keetongu and Yetrax, so in all honesty, Id be hitting some good pieces here. I actually have Taks still put together (for the most part, minus the weapons...) so I could probably do some interesting things... or... I don't know, I'm rambling and lost my train of thought. *watched as a train drove away, waving* In any case, yes. I was looking at those pictures from TLRB. At first, upon seeing the Skopio, I imagined some cartoon with living machines with glowing eyes. That still seemed pretty cool, but I'm confused on why a Skopio would have treads, I thought Bara Magna was more organics? I don't know. The thought of Metus being the traitor baffles me, but it does seem to fit, he's probably the most headstrong of the Agori we've seen so far. But if it's an extended ending, I'm just wondering...? Wouldn't Mats be gone by the time the movie was done? I'm thinking, and I'm probably wrong, but I was thinking/imagining Mats and Iggy going back to the MU at the end of the movie and totally owning Terry somehow. I can just imagine Mats going all Superman on Terry, flying downward and smashing his way back into his brain. ~Makuta'sdarkslave Quote
The Alchemyst Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Ain't that the sweetest cover we've seen. Gotta say, Pop Mhan really does well with the large whole page panels, like the one with Fero and Skirmix attacking Berix in the first one. His art is pretty darn fitting overall too. I'd like to have that cover as a poster. :D Any scans on BZP? [-The Alchemyst-] Quote

I think Greg said they had the story panned out until then, and no MU. ~Bunda Quote
Wrinkledlion X Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 That's what we in the business call a nice cover. Quote
Nightmare Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Guys: Mata Nui <- Mata Nui at Shop at Home. Already available for purchase (other legends too) Also: Baranus Back <- Someone on BZP bought the Baranus, that's the back of the box. BTW, anyone knows how to extract the pictures out from the zoom feature? I'd like to have the High-Res images of the Legends (like the when someone does take them from Amazon.com... I don't know which member does it right know, but I would aprreciate it) Quote
