Psycho Twi Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I don't care how or if they tie the new story with the old, all I care about is if it will be good. The hype is REAL guys, it's been so long since I've cared about a story from Lego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
25K Now! Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Yeah, I hope they have some way of connecting to old heads/old Kanohi connecting to new heads.I'd love it if the new heads still have those mouths so you can connect the old masks to them. If we're switching to the side-connector style, I doubt there'll be a way for the new masks to connect to the old ones though.

Kopekemaster Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Well, what I was thinking is that there could be a head-sheath thing (sort of like whatever the Phantoka Toa had), that the mask snaps onto.

specsowl Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I don't think LEGO would alienate their fans too much both story wise AND set wise.

If it attaches like I think, it should be able to at least attach to Brain Attack or maybe even Glatorian heads. Those prongs seem like they'd rest nicely in the Technic holes in the sides of those heads.

skratchR Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Prepare, because this is going to be a long text...At last, our prayers have been heard. It has been a long road, five years of journey without BIONICLE. We have pleaded, we have resisted, we have made ourselves strong in this site, waiting and demanding the return of BIONICLE. And at last, we have won. Victory is ours. It is back. When I saw the news ten seconds ago on the main page I suddently felt like I was 6 years old again. I felt like I too wanted to go wherever the new BIONICLE will be set. I felt like I had discovered that mask while digging for treasures. I felt like my childhood was back. Now; prepare. BZPower is going to be like the old days, back when I browsed around this site without knowing how to make an account (ah, the inexperience of childhood...). We are going to have a trunami of new fans. This is going to be great. You see, BIONICLE was not part of my childhood. It WAS my childhood. And it has formed me as I am today. I like to say that my personal philosophy was created by the samurai and by Greg Farsthey. Bionicle taught me a lot of things about life. And I feel happy to know that more generations of kids will learn as much as I have from Bionicle. It makes the future look better. And, by the way, the same way as when I suddently entered BIONICLE.com in 2011 and saw that there was nothing new, and learnt that it was cancelled, was one of the saddest days of my life, this one is one of the happiest. And I even saw the news while listening to Nessun Dorma. The moment could not be more epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Mask Of ???? Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 That looks like an evil villain mask to me. King Velika must have commissioned a good one. EDIT: Wait a minute, is there writing in the background of that thing? Might not be a Mask of Creation (the description we got in RoS was way different), but it might be a powerful mask of conjuring... Mask of Creation? I hope. Is that mask floating around in space?Looks ineteresting for sure. Kinda fits the description of the mask of creation we've been given. The "official facebook page" says it's the Mask of Creation, so... y'know... for what it's worth.

Tattorack Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) Thats lazyness if you ask me.Any designer should be willing to the challange to make something great out of that.Out of a mask that's ostensibly supposed to integrate designs from every culture in the universe? Sounds to me like that would inevitably result in one thing: clutter. The real mask, no matter what it's supposed to be, looks way more cohesive than the chaotic mess that would inevitably result from trying to faithfully adhere to that grandiose description. A description like that is the very definition of the phrase "easier said than done". It doesn't take any substantial creative effort to SAY something that sounds so ambitious, but it would take a ludicrous amount of creative effort to actually depict it faithfully. It's like writing about a language that looks like a combination of every other language in the world and then calling an illustrator or designer "lazy" because they can't meet your impossible demands and know better than to try. Well, the Matoran Universe is not the massive expanse we have with our own, so saying "every culture in the universe" with them is like saying... well... maybe not much more than 6 different cultures (could be more, I suppose Electricity and Sonics can have a pretty flamboyant culture). They did add the runes on the mask though (spotted now with the bigger image).That I must say is a very nice touch. (Speaking of clutter; Karzahni's mask, anyone?)

Core: Matoran of Chaos Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I'm really excited that Bionicle is finally returning. Whether I pick up the new sets really depends on how they look, but the fact that something that impacted my childhood so heavily is coming back to influence another generation of kids is really exciting. I had pretty much given up hope on ever seeing Bionicle ever show up again before I saw the tweet. 1 Quote “Amateurs practice until they get it right.
