Hapori Tohu Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 They're not yet available from the online LEGO shop, but LEGO has finally uploaded high-resolution images of the five new BIONICLE sets to the LEGO.com cache. There are only two pictures for each set, but it still offers a good look at each set, as well as different parts of the Ancient City in the background of each set's box art. Read on for links to the new images! View the full article 4 Quote News Forums Q&A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyichir Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 The most interesting thing about this to me is the relief sculptures of Ekimu and Makuta above the gate to the Temple of Creation. Those sculptures had been shown in varying forms across the animations and concept art, and I was worried that they would be absent from the boxart. I'm glad that's not the case. 6 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny7092 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) Seen these images long before to be honest, but they still look very cool! Anyway, it's great Lego provided pictures. When I look at the box art on each set, they appear to be telling a story as I can see clearly. I would set the box art pictures in an order: Skull Warrior guards the entrance in the Ancient City and you can the Mask Makers' forging place as it lights up in orange-yellow in a distance; Skull Slicer showing an arena where he probably once a fighting champion on and you can see that the forging place is getting a little closer; Skull Scorpio guarding gates to stairs that lead to the forging place as it gets closer; Skull Basher being and guarding on the stairs; like a buff bodyguard, as the forging place gets closer( and finally you get to see Ekimu fighting against Skull Grinder inside the forging place itself as SG seems to attempt to destroy the Mask of Creation with a caldron of lava for some reason (think how a movie, The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, ended similarly). So, that's how I see it clearly. Man, this is going to be epic when the sets come out in August! Edited June 28, 2015 by Lenny7092 Quote I like Lego, Bionicle, and Hero Factory!

Rooster Nui Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Eh, these aren't that different from ones I've seen elsewhere. It's still nice to have a clear look at them, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still nice to have a clear look at them, anyway.The main difference is that they're really, really high-res. That makes a big difference for the gorgeous art on the boxes, among other things. 2 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, that is true. I can see geographic details much clearer than I could on other images. But in terms of the set images, there isn't much of a difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aanchir Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Besides the quality, one important thing about images being added to cache.LEGO.com is that it hints that they might be appearing on shop.LEGO.com (whether as available for purchase in some countries or just with a "coming soon" listing) in the near future. 1 Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maskmaker of Light Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 If you look closely at Skull Scorpio's box, there's what appears to be a gate to a graveyard of villagers.

Prowl Nightwolf Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 One mask to rule them all, one mask to find them.One mask to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.Wait a second, isn't that the theme for the one ring? Plagiarism!! Anyway This is hopefully good news for us American shoppers who can't pay the international shipping fees for an early taste of the magic. By that I mean poor old me.
