Toa o Uria Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Nothing really. I'm a lover of the original Bionicle. Heck, I even didn't mind the parts from '06 to '09! But anyways, I'm glad Bionicle is back is any way, shape, or form. Even if I can't get over the new parts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyichir Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) It'll be hard to discuss this much until we have some actual officially-revealed pictures to refer to, instead of just leaks. But based solely on the set names that were unintentionally confirmed by Amazon.de and shop.lego.com, I'm really excited for the elemental "creature" sets. I'm a sucker for wildlife, but in Bionicle's later years Rahi tended to take second-stage to humanoid characters and vehicles. I'm eager for a return to form.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Right now, I'm looking forward to seeing the Toa's characters grow as their adventures continues on Okoto. I'm also interested in seeing what happens now that Ekimu has been woken up and is now an active character in the story.

MrSciFiGuy Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Safe to assume that the new sets will be Nuva/upgraded Toa. I for am looking forward to seeing if they added more "Bionicle styled" parts, such as with pistons and patterns. I don't care for the smoothness of the HF shells. 1 Quote Bionicle: ANP aims to create narrated versions of all the Bionicle books, with voice actors for each character, and music taken from various media to enhance the story.

Aanchir Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 From the set names that were listed on Amazon.de a few months ago, it sounds like the Toa are getting animal companions, and that's got to be what I'm most looking forward to. I loved the non-enemy creatures of Bionicle G1 like the Ussal, Gukko, and Mahi, and have long been hoping for a series of Bionicle or Hero Factory heroes with animal companions (the closest we ever got was Toa Mahri Jaller with his Hahnah Crab). 1 Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonel Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) I'm excited about learning more about that Hunter character or whatever he's called. I'm also looking forward to having all of the Month of _____ designs since they look really cool. But I don't get why they started so late releasing those as they'll go into the new year. When the Toa designs will be different. Unless next years designs would portrey 2016's designs instead of wrapping up those of 2015. That would be disappointing.

Votuko Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 There are too many leaks on this thread. (eg. Anything referring to how next year's sets look is blatantly a leak.) I am disappoint. Just to clarify, didn't LEGO ask that the released-early set names were taken down, so it became a thing that we wouldn't discuss them here? Or is discussing them allowed? Without discussing leaks, my answer to the original question is: I am looking forward to new BIONICLE products and / or media being released in 2016.

Blastcage Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Looking forward to see how and why the Toa inevitably get upgraded forms. Will they be the Nuva equivalents of G2?

Mallow Toa of Smashing Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I'm looking forward to the weapons and masks on the set side of things. Don't know how to elaborate on that. As for story, I want to see a bit more complexity, but not so much that it becomes convoluted and alienating to Bionicle's new audience. Like maybe just some more backstory would be nice.

I know that they have a different name, but I hope that means they are transformed into stronger versions of themselves. Feels classic that way. Plus, I hope that Ekimu would come as a 2016 set, too, and perhaps Takanuva somehow. I am also super-excited for the new TV show in Netflix! Yay!
