Omicron Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 Oh, and Omi- if they aren't real, they aren't real. If they are, they are. You have a right to be skeptical, but for now, lets just discuss and be merry and thin of the possibilities instead of trying to prove people wrong. :) I know. Just saying you guys look ridiculous with the gullibility. -Omi
ShaddowCroc Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 I know. Just saying you guys look ridiculous with the gullibility.-Omi And you kind of look ridiculous with skepticism. Anyway, I completely agree with Darkness Falls, but I don't really think they have new/poesable limbs. As much as we want them, it really doesn't seem like we'll get them anytime soon . . . :/
Omicron Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 And you kind of look ridiculous with skepticism. Just being realistic here. Site kinda lacks it. -Omi
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 Well, if it is 12 small sets, I'll kill myself, because canister sets are a hella lot better. -GRESHIOS
Darkness Falls Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 I know. Just saying you guys look ridiculous with the gullibility.-Omi Oh, of course we can't rule out the possibility these are fake. Everyone should keep that in mind.
God Iron Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 Well if these are fake, who on earth would go out of their way to cook up such an elaborate plot, spanning numerous sites including Amazon and Wikipedia?
Omicron Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 Well if these are fake, who on earth would go out of their way to cook up such an elaborate plot, spanning numerous sites including Amazon and Wikipedia? Amazon is always tentative, and Wikipedia is easily abused. Which is weird. You guys go on with the "Amazon says this, Wikipedia says that". I say neither are Lego, and they haven't said anything yet. -Omi
Zarkan Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 (edited) However, these images came from another site, and that same site had images of a bunch of other sets that looked extremely legitimate. I doubt people would take the time to fake all of the pictures we have seen so far, as you'd need both an extremely high amount of artistic ability and a lot of time. Also, the images we got of the "Bionicle Stars" are far different looking than the fakes we've gotten before. Remember in 2008 when tons of fakes came out and none of them looked any good? I don't really see how we can go from those to fairly clear images with very little evidence of photoshoping in only two years, especially since no one with any real talent would waste their time making fakes this good. Besides, just because they aren't from lego doesn't mean that they aren't true, Omi. While they still may be fakes, it's unrealistic to take either that or the opposite position when we truly have no official confirmination. Only a few people here seem to be reacting to them like they believe them 100%, while the others are approaching them with a healthy mixture of anticipation and skepticism. So stop calling everyone gullible, 'kay? Edited September 19, 2009 by Grevious

Zarkan Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 I can now confirm that these two particular sets are indeed genuine.- Tilius Like we're going to actually take your word on this, Tilus. A word of advice - don't try to confirm future set pictures after putting a fake list in your brickshelf account.
God Iron Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 (edited) You didn't need to tell us the were real, if we already know they were. Can you give us anything more solid? That might put some hard ground under your feet. Edited September 19, 2009 by God Iron
-Tilius- Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 I can't give you any more information at the moment. - Tilius
The Alchemyst Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 Hey Tilius, weren't you banned from EB, a couple of months/years back, under Zane? I definitely see the Gold Hau now. Oh god, please bring back recolors and collectibles. And olda masks with Axle Rods. Please. If they do that, with a mixture of Recolored Helms as well, stuck into mask packs, I think we'd all be happy campers. And I don't know what that "ST*RS" logo reminds me of, but it does remind me of something. ._. [-TA-]

Bundalings Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 OK Front, You simply cannot trick us, for a start...1. The original list we got from Amazon backs-up these pictures. 2. Then Wikipedia told us it would be called Bionicle Stars. 3. Also it seems the stuff about more small sets, and a new Click set (The Golden Click in Gresh) was true. This means that all the info a few of you have written off (Including the pictures) was right all along. Also Front, why would TLG change the times it gives out the Book? Last year we had pictures in sooner then this. Hello I'm God Iron, it's simply nice to meet you. This makes me more skeptical, rather than less. No comment on the pictures. They look like pretty lame sets but w/e, we don't even know if they're real. ~Bunda
-Tilius- Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 I was 'banned' of my own accord - if you check that account's last posts, you'll see I just requested it, so I could focus more on family issues. A relative of mine was seriously ill (and has since passed on) and I couldn't be doing with the hassle I was getting from some of the now-ex administrators. Simple. - Tilius
---Vertea--- Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 I see gold Hau, but I can't tell what I'm looking at with the Gresh box

Simple.- Tilius Well, I understand this a bit better now, but I still don't understand why you asked to be banned. If you wanted to leave to focus on family issues, you could have just logged off your account and not paid any attention to PMs or anything you got from other members. Asking to be banned always has felt to me like a rather dishonorable way to stop visiting a message board, as it makes newer members who don't know your story look at your posts questioningly. In fact, I myself was rather suspicious of what had happened, as I had no idea that the story behind your banning was not due to bad behavior. Then again, even if I had known, this whole "fake set list" issue still would make me question your standings as a member. This is the second time you have posted or uploaded something fake and claimed it was real, which smacks of a complete disregard for gaining the trust of other members. If you want us to believe you about other things, why do you do stuff like this? I undestand that some people post fake stuff as jokes, but the point is that you got everyone hyped up and discussing something that turned out to be false. This to me is worse than leaking information, as it does nothing to help the community and makes you look completely untrustable.

This to me is worse than leaking information, as it does nothing to help the community and makes you look completely untrustable. That's the point. BZP had issue with me keeping a big record of leaked images in 2007 on Brickshelf, because other members tended to post these leaks. By uploading fake images, and losing trust, it means fewer members are inclined to re-post real prototypes on BZP, because they worry they might be fake. Plus, it's just fun to watch everyone go CRAZY. Especially when my fakes are better than Lego's official sets - e.g Lesovikk with an Exo Toa. - Tilius

And seriously, this seems more of a waste of time than anything - if you don't want real prototype pictures to be spread, then just don't bother uploading them to your brickshelf account in the first place. I'd think that a member who wants to be taken seriously would rather do that than purposely make people lose trust in him, but that's just me. Besides, that still doesn't explain why you uploaded that list of sets - that is a totally different case than leaked images, as it's far harder to tell whether set lists are fake or not when you don't have any evidence for or against them. Heck, some of us thought that list might actually be real, which goes to show how impossible it is to discern things like that. Honestly, Tilus, you can blame the reaction on gullibility all you want, but in the end we aren't the ones who are posting fake images and links for no purpose other than to have fun. Eurobricks is supposed to be a mature forum, and stuff like this smacks of immaturity. I don't claim to be the best example of maturity on this site - I've had my share of embarrasing and immature moments on here, especially in my first two years on the boards, but I think a lot of people will agree with me when I say that posting fake images and sets is not going to earn you respect on a site aimed primarily at AFOLS.

I want to, though. I like to keep an organised collection of every image. I'd think that a member who wants to be taken seriously would rather do that than purposely make people lose trust in him, but that's just me. I don't care who takes me seriously.

Being a Bionicle fan on a site aimed at AFOLs isn't going to get you respect, either. - Tilius
God Iron Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 OCD? Death in the Family? I don't mean to be rude, but this simply sounds a bit fishy. It does sound to me like you are telling porkies. That doesn't make the picture any less truthful though... Anyhow the best way to get rid of a pest is to ignore it I find, so in that case I suggest we get back on the topic at hand! Judging from the true list, it seems that the others except for the ones with have seen may be the titans because of the different set numbers. I Hope Takanuva is 03 version and not 08. I'd love a new vehicle.
