[QUOTE=Vodkavia;47027387]I hope they make mask blind bag packs or something so we can get all sorts of recolours and maybe some brand new masks[/QUOTE] So far we have this: [url]http://stores.lego.com/en-gb/stores/uk/news/eu-bionicle-gwp?shareurl=http%3a%2f%2fstores.lego.com%2fen-gb%2fstores%2fuk%2fliverpool%3fid%3d5B34C9DC-288C-4A56-8002-D1840443C221[/url] But I seriously hope we get mask packs. EDIT: Toy fair pics! [url]http://imgur.com/a/kfUbZ[/url] scroll down to the bottom.
I assume that's new Teridax/Makuta with Ekimu there? He looks like fucking Satan this time around. I'm actually really digging the villain design, they look way more intimidating than most of the old sets. Now we'll have to see if they measure up lore-wise, but I think I already know the answer to that.
that isn't makuta that's just skull grinder
Oh, right, Skull Grinder is indeed wearing this mask. [IMG]https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-1tTFqFgPq3s/VJ_VkQK5LdI/AAAAAAAAAMg/0h9jaxeaQTU/w426-h320-no/unnamed%5B1%5D.jpg[/IMG][t]http://i.imgur.com/QNrvJaY.png[/t] Lego did a damn good job on this wave, and holy shit I want them all now.
[QUOTE=salty peanut v2;47038585]that isn't makuta that's just skull grinder[/QUOTE] Here's hoping they [I]do[/I] make another Makuta, and that they do him justice. They did a good job remaking the old masks and keeping them to their styles. A new Kraahkan would be badass, especially on a frame like these new guys have. If they somehow spun everybody with "Skull" in their name to be part of the Dark Hunters or some other throwback, that would make me extremely happy.
they seem more like undead minions of some greater evil from what I gather from the video
Holy shit this brings back memories. I remember loving the lore and the building and ohmygodiwantthesethingsnow Shame about the lore getting oversimplified, but I still want those models. Like...yesterday.

I dislike how the villans have some "unarmoured" bone pieces Makes them look like they skipped some leg/arm days
well they [I]are[/I] skeleton warriors after all..
Huh, apparently there's a theory that the original Bionicle Vahi is half a mask and the second half of the mask is connected to the rebooted Bionicle. [img]http://i.imgur.com/xN55ya5.jpg[/img]
[QUOTE=salty peanut v2;47043302]well they [I]are[/I] skeleton warriors after all..[/QUOTE] It's more about the armour placement, but anyway i can't wait to grab myself that Cyberdemon vs. Ekimu set
[QUOTE=Niven;47058531]Huh, apparently there's a theory that the original Bionicle Vahi is half a mask and the second half of the mask is connected to the rebooted Bionicle. [img]http://i.imgur.com/xN55ya5.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] The best thing about it is that the mask (which is supposed to be prelim, considering we saw in the first leaked pic) appeared in the official polybag (top right corner): [t]http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/wghost/heropack/2015-01-31_22.22.53.jpg[/t] :v: But seriously, I'm starting to think that is either the G2 Mask of time or the prelim Mask of ultimate power.
what comes in the bag? just a spider, a mask, and a bunch of posters?
[QUOTE=salty peanut v2;47065321]what comes in the bag? just a spider, a mask, and a bunch of posters?[/QUOTE] And also a sticker sheet of all 6 masks. It will be available in the US in March.
Can someone answer a little question for me? Does anyone else have an orange Noble Matatu? I have one, and I'm not sure where it came from. Was it in a booster pack or on a set? I have no idea. [IMG]http://biosector01.com/wiki/images/9/93/MatatuNoble.png[/IMG]

Guys, guys! I have noticed something [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/N66IHdk.png[/IMG] Coincidence? I think not.
they already call him the Protector of Herbs and Spices on the bionicle thread in /toy/
I wish someone would do a proper edit of Ainsley into PoS
there's this [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/u7Iamhw.jpg[/IMG]
[QUOTE=Niven;47069341]And apparently a trans Red Hau.[/QUOTE] Trans. reddish orange, to be exact. They've been using this color as the main "trans. red" of the constraction lines (Hero factory and Bionicle G2) EDIT: Episode 5 in English officially released: [video=youtube;QhtoOM-6x0k]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhtoOM-6x0k[/video]
[video=youtube;Rz3yfFpG7o8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz3yfFpG7o8[/video] The original opening score from Mask of Light has been uploaded by Nathan Furst. He also did this: [video=youtube;DC_2VWV4pnI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DC_2VWV4pnI[/video] [sp]I actually want to tear up when I hear this.[/sp]
Despite them not being the best movies, the soundtrack for all three were excellent.
[QUOTE=Vodkavia;47111073]matoran as children.[/QUOTE] Good thing hollywood did not get a hold of Bionicle :v:
[QUOTE=Vodkavia;47111073]make the masks more closely reflect the real deals.[/QUOTE] I thought Legends of Metru Nui and Web of Shadows did the masks perfectly. [editline]10th February 2015[/editline] Oh god the Rahkshi were terrible now that I'm remembering the movies.
