8BrickMario Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I thought that looked like Lunk, too. What happened to the Frosticons? Quote
Kalhiki Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Construction tribe! That's awesome! Were they the supposed Steampunk tribe, or are they different? Purple stomach-mouth is goofy. I love him. Cubits! Finally! Now if only we could get a General Nixel... And a little sad about the clone characters of Flurr and possibly Lunk. They seem different enough, but surely they could've made something more creative (I mean, we're getting a stomach-mouth, for Pete's sake.) Quote
8BrickMario Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 The construction ones are the yellow/grey tribe we heard about. The brown/gold steampunk tribe is the next series. Quote
dadiomouse Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Yellow Construction guy looks *amazing!* \(^o^')/ *That's* what the yellow is used for! Very cool! *Really* curious about the other 2 in this Tribe. The Purple guy with the 2 mouths is also extremely cool & the other purple guy there looks nifty too. Hopefully the remaining one has a unique head. As others have said, the Flurr clone (but in green...) is disappointing. I expected more (even a different head would have made it feel more unique! - it's just *too* close to Flurr!) I guess we'll see the missing ones (& the other 9 guys from the other series real soon now!) (Also, Argos in the UK *do* have Series 4 in stock - but unlike previously, they won't sell before the official release date (this Sunday) - just so UK fans know.) Quote
Kalhiki Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 The construction ones are the yellow/grey tribe we heard about. The brown/gold steampunk tribe is the next series. Thanks for the clarification. Glad to hear Steampunk is still in. Quote
TheBrickPal Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Anyone found any more images other than that one? There seems to be a lack of any Series 5... Quote
TheLastToaofLight Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 The only images we are missing from the toy fair are the new Mixels. Quote
8BrickMario Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 No, we're missing more than that (Not counting the themes where photography was prohibited). We still haven't seen the DC sets at all. At least we have one picture of the Mixels. Quote
Cagast Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Thanks for the clarification. Glad to hear Steampunk is still in. Brown/gold could be another wave of Fang Gang. They have some gold details. Quote
8BrickMario Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Only one Fang Gang member used gold pieces. I doubt they'd do another repeat Series 2 tribe just yet, since we're getting new Frosticons. Quote
Cagast Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Oh, we are getting new Frosticons. Completely forgot about that. There are still chances for steampunk. Quote
Takanuinuva Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Definitely loving Vaka-Waka and his 2 mouths. Seems the Yellowish tribe in Series 5 is tongue related. And the steampunk Mixels are cool as well. My current favorite of them is the one with 2 of Nurp-Naut's eyes. Don't know which of the 3 construction tribes I'll prefer until we get pictures of them. Still not getting any of the new Frosticons or Glorp Corp though since I'm only getting one Mixel per tribe. Though one of the Glorp Corp is using Magnifying lenses for Glasses which I think is ingenious Edited January 31, 2015 by Takanuinuva Quote
DraikNova Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Calling it now: the steampunk-based tribe is called the Gear Guys. Quote
GoldenChi Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) One of the tongue guys has Chima minifig wings,which is pretty interesting. I don't thing the eating tribe are Fang Gang. I'm looking forward to seeing the packages/cartoon forms for the rest of them,maybe at NY toy fair. I'm calling it that the eating tribe are called the Munch Bunch Edited January 31, 2015 by GoldenChi Quote
Lordofdragonss Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 How about Chew Crew? :D Haha The purple guys are amazing, aspecialy the one based on hamster! I like how they actualy have food with them! Quote
Kalhiki Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 They all look great. Super happy with the Steampunk guys (Steam Team?). Especially the one with exhaust pipes for arms. Quote
8BrickMario Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) I'm liking Berp's arms and Vaka-Waka's faces. Snax doesn't impress me, Those tongue guys are so crazy, I gotta have them all! The steampunk guys look okay (but they look more "scrapyard" than "steampunk", and the construction ones do, too. The new Frosticons aren't much, but I'm wondering how they did the eye on the clear dome. I like the new eye tiles. I like the snowmobile Mixel. Glorp Corp is meh. I got Globert today, and I love him. Edited January 31, 2015 by 8BrickMario Quote
Cagast Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Glorp Corp is meh. I totally agree, Gurggle is so meh, nothing special about him like all others that are amazing! Cartoon version of Slusho doesn't look similar to Flurr so they probably are not cousins. Quote
Boogly22238 Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Dribbal looks like a total nerd. Nerdo. Quote
WARHEAD Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Whereas the Bionicle summer lineup is pretty disappointing, all of these are absolutely amazing! The yellow tongue guys, construction crew and purple tribe especially caught my attention. Quote
refriedbeans Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 FINALLY! The anticipation was killing me! Loving the Glorp Corp, and those construction guys! Not a fan of that weird Frosticon with the buck teeth though... Quote
ZORK64 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 I'm all game for the new Frosticons. Bright blue and cyan are favourite colours of mine. I'm also liking the Steampunk and Construction folks. I'm tempted to get all of them and mashing them together just for the sake of saying "Constructicons, COMBINE!" Quote
dadiomouse Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 All the new tribe guys look freaking amazing imo. I love that there are 2 more yellow tribes now too (cos I like nice, bright colors). Having said that - the rather duller colored "steampunk" guys look absolutely *fantastic!*... I'll be doing my usual of picking up 3 of each guy (so I have 1 of each guy + 1 of each Max + 1 of each parts for mashing up), but I might get even more of those guys, lol... just because I think an army of those led by Metalbeard (from the "Metalbeard's Duel" set) would look super cool! (they have a very similar color scheme/look) The weak links in these new sets are definitely the new "old tribe" guys... especially Glorp Corp. They just seem like "more of the same" rather than tying anything unique with the designs... that's a pity. Only the snowmobile looking Frosticon looks cool out of those guys (imo). I'm *loving* those purple guys! Food in their hands, & each design very creative! That hamster face one! I tried *again* today (February 1st) to get Series 4 in "Argos" here in the UK - & was told this time that the system won't allow them to sell until *tomorrow* (February 2nd) & they can't even over-ride it (as they do with some products) So yeah, definitely a useful heads up there for UK fans... that Argos (who would usually be my go-to guys for my early Mixel-fix) are now strictly sticking to their set release dates. Other than that... I'm now super curious about how the Maxes look for Series 5 & 6 Quote
