Hapori Tohu Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 We previously reported that a special, Bionicle themed "Hero Pack" was going to be available at LEGO stores and Shop.LEGO.com in most European countries. This will be free with any order, without a minimum price, and based on its product page, it does indeed come with a translucent orange mask of fire, as well as a dark blue Skull Spider, poster, booklet, and stickers. But for those of us in North America, fret not; according to The Brick Fan, the same promo will reach us in March.

Rooster Nui Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I ordered mine about six hours ago, after getting Tahu and Gali as early birthday presents for my older brother. I actually sent a news report about this, but it may not have reached you. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
believe victims Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Disappointed to find out it doesn't come with a CD like I was hoping it would from the blurrier image. I just really want to be able to listen to the Bionicle 2015 music separate from the episodes. Ecstatic to hear about stickers, though. I love stickers.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 The Brick Fan link states that the US side of this promotion is from March 1st through the 20th. This gives me a great chance to go back to my Lego Store to get this pack. I just hope that it doesn't run out of them before I get there.

I managed to get 2 hero packs separately in a single order: http://prntscr.com/5zntboNo actual sets were ordered there. I later ordered Protectors of Ice, Fire and water across 2 orders, and again managed to glitch 2 hero packs into my order.All in all, I'm getting 3 protectors and 5 hero packs Quote Also, if you're a resident of the UK and like Bionicle, go ahead and join us at this awesome Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/BFUK7/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope this is an error that is fixed before March. I really want one of these packs, and I don't want the reason for me to not be able to get one being that Lego sold out on them because of this glitch. I'm not saying people shouldn't take advantage of it, because I would if I could. But I just hope that Lego doesn't run out before I get one. Also, it is weird that they have the prototype MoC on the package art instead of the finalized one. It might make this even more valuable in the future.

Rooster Nui Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) Thing is, Shipping prices over here aren't so great either are downright atrocious hooo the amazing things I would buy if they weren't so bad... Shipping prices are a bit expensive for where I live and by the sounds of it, you've got it worse. I'm grateful for mine not being very expensive, but I feel sorry for you. Shipping prices do drain quite a lot of money from you over time, even though they're necessary. On another subject, I find it really strange that the promotional "Hero Pack" has a prototype mask on the front of the packaging.

Votuko Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I don't understand why people are acting so proud of being able to rip LEGO off through some sort of glitch. Every Hero Pack has the chance to go to someone who hasn't bought BIONICLE before, potentially introducing a new fan to the theme. So what people who cheat the system and get multiple packs are doing is stunting the growth of BIONICLE's fanbase, and generally stopping someone else enjoying it. The glitch has been fixed for a while now (on the UK store at least). So I really hope that LEGO just cancel all the illegitimate Hero Pack orders so that they go to those who deserve them. (And you can't argue that you were within your rights to have exploited the system, because the promotion had a terms and conditions page explaining that you got one free pack with a purchase of an item, not more than one.) /end rantPhew... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bfahome Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Now the question is whether I order the Protector of Fire and Protector of Stone or Bane of Arthropods Lord of Skull Spiders to get this. The Protectors are probably the most immediately appealing of the sets I don't have (Protector of Fire for the mini-modificaiton potential and Protector of Stone for parts to supplement Pohatu, or Lord of Skull Spiders for the TECHNIC and gold Skull Spider mask). And then I ask for the Double Decker Couch set for my birthday so I can get a second one. [evil chuckling] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 It's definitely the prototype Mask of Creation. The leaked display images from back in July show Tahu reaching out to grab it. I've seen the images and I feel like it was just a placeholder mask. The mask is too radically different. A lot of preliminary packaging was using the Mask of Life or Mask of Light in place of the Mask of Creation. Then again, Tahu grabbing his own gold mask makes sense too. -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preliminary box art pictures showed Tahu with his preliminary mask, and both his red and his gold masks looked nothing like that placeholder/prototype/whatever mask. Besides, this picture looks like the finalized version of the one on the leaked display images (both have Tahu reacing for a really shiny mask on a pedestal with LoSS in the picture as well), so it pretty much has to be either a prototype or a plaeholder for the MoCr. Not to mention, if you look very closely at the boxes on the leaked display image, they all have that same golden mask on them, and since the finalized boxes had the MoCr in its place, I seriously doubt that mask was Tahu's.

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 That is true. However, the Ignika had no real physical release until 2008, and prior to that was a different design attached to Vezon's head. That mask actually underwent official changes as the years went on. But this placeholder Mask of Creation is a super drastic design change in the course of months, judging by the date the retailer's catalog was shipped. Also Tahu's mask seems to have changed pretty late into the process as well. -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
