Jobber Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I've been kicking myself everyday, when I found out that Barnes & Nobel sold Bionicle sets.So much hours of wasted time traveling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdaptingChaos Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 So what are you guys planning on doing after you get your full wave of Bionicle 2015?!I myself have already bought myself a new set of the 6 new Toa, but Im keeping them in their boxes, might do the same for the Protectors and maybe LOSS. However I might also buy more sets and just use the pieces for mocing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I might also buy more sets and just use the pieces for mocing.After getting all the sets, I put them on my new plastic shelf. Maybe if the prices go down later in the future, (or if I have enough money after buying a new tablet) I'll probably get Tahu or LoSS and keep them in their boxes so I can resell them later for a higher profit.

RichardT1977 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Amazon got a restock so they're at MSRP there again (as opposed to third-party Amazon sellers with their markups)! Just ordered Gali, Lewa, and Pohatu with Amazon gift card credit! And now we are so happy, we do the Dance of Joy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ektris Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 My Barnes & Noble doesn't have any BIONICLE sets. Mildly disappointing. ~|ET|~ Quote E-T... Phone home. "He walks among us, but he is not one of us." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Well, I know for sure that the sets are selling well... Went to TRU to pick up Kopaka but he was sold out, along with most of the other sets. Two days prior, the shelf was completely full. -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ektris Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Nor did my WalMart. No shelf space even, but the shelves were fully stocked. So it's still just been Target so far here, although I didn't make it to a TRU this weekend due to weather. So they may be there... ~|ET|~ Quote E-T... Phone home.

Nice to see the stores near me have the new sets, really. I posted this before, but since you're looking for Gali and Onua, check Barnes and Noble. At this point they are the most likely place to have them (and you can check on their site to see if they're in stock). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Meta Knight Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Went to Walmart yesterday and saw the sets there for the first time. (as far as I've seen) 'Twas a tiny selection, (Kopaka, LOSS, Protectors of Fire and Ice) but it was quite thrilling to see them on the shelves for once, whether they're just now stocking them, or I've been coming too late. XD Just got Kopaka from amazon, too. If they would've had any other Toa, it would've been sold. Quote Stay vigilant, my friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nescent Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I got Lewa today. First thoughts: I love the new green, the mask is awesome (still needs to grow on me a bit because it still looks very foreign to me, but the design is objectively very cool), the gearbox looks very cool from behind and was a blast to build, he's got very fitting gangly proportions, and the bright/flashy color combination looks wonderful beside all of the other Toa. However, the lack of head movement is unfortunate and frustrating, and his overall smoothness is a bit of a let-down (even if it fits his character). All in all, a nice set, worth the price, and a wonderful addition to the team. Wouldn't recommend him as your first set unless Lewa happens to be your favorite character, however, since I don't think he does a great job resembling the new Bionicle style.

Aanchir Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 the mask is awesome (still needs to grow on me a bit because it still looks very foreign to me, but the design is objectively very cool) I love Lewa's mask as well, but it still feels a bit silly to hear something described as "objectively very cool", coolness being an inherently subjective descriptor. 3 Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallior Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Dallior needs himself some more money... some of you may have disposable incomes, but I don't! I literally have JUST ONE BIONICLE OF THIS YEAR. I need at least the PoJ, LoSS, Gali and Kopaka before I will be satisfied.

Nescent Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) I got the PoF and PoW today. Target didn't have the PoJ, otherwise I would have gotten that as well. The PoF is an amazing parts pack, but the set itself is, as everyone suspected, meh. I like the chest armor design, and he looks very nice next to the other Protectors due to his body shape, but the weapons stink and the limbs are annoying, and the arms are plain ugly.The PoW on the other hand is gorgeous, and also has some great parts (trans dark blue shells, trans light blue propellers, medium azure blue mask). She really looks like the embodiment of water, and is absolutely the most slender Protector. The weapon's two-handed nature may be a bit annoying to pose, but it looks very nice.

If the thread is gonna die because it is no longer that useful, then it will. No great loss. It doesn't really take much effort at all to make a new one in the summer.This, basically. There's no real point in trying to hold on to 11 pages of outdated information while we wait for something that's another 5 months away. In the long term more effort would be put into trying to keep it around than would be in making a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyichir Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 While obviously it would be silly to try to keep this thread around for the summer sets, I'd reckon it's worth keeping around for at least another month or so. The sets may be available in many stores in the U.S. and online in most countries, but in physical stores there are still whole countries in which they're yet to appear. I imagine by early February they'll be widely released across the globe, but for now having members keeping tabs on availability in their area is still quite important. 1 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xabla Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I was in TRU and there was this kid and he was like 7 and he had a gift card of like, at least $50, andwas buying like 1 of every Mixel there.
