Which 2016 sets are you most excited for?

[Nescent]

Now that the 2016 Bionicle sets have been revealed via lego.com's cache, and reviews are steadily being made, which sets are you most looking forward to?

[Aanchir]

I'm most excited for Lewa, Gali, and their creatures. Lewa is my personal favorite of the 2016 Toa designs due to his coherent , but I can't help wanting Gali because she was my favorite of this year's Toa, and the 2016 version seems to make so many great design decisions.

 

The creatures are probably more equal to one another as stand-alone models, but in addition to Lewa and Gali having the best new designs in my book, they also have what I'd consider the best "unity" modes with their creatures. So that elevates them above the others for me. Uxar in particular gets high marks for an exciting function and some really creative use of Technic, CCBS, and even LEGO System elements. The Bright Yellow accents on Uxar also look divine and are something I think Lewa could've benefited from more of in his own color scheme.

I'm actually looking forward to them all. Umarak and Tahu are my top favorites followed by Kopaka and Gali. My favorite creatures are Akida, Ikir, and Uxar in that exact order. Terak and Melum are pretty good too. 

[Lyichir]

I'm actually looking forward to a lot of them, but I feel Lewa and Akida are probably the standouts. Lewa is just a great-looking figure, and Akida is incredibly unique as one of the only dedicated fish sets we've ever gotten.

1. Umarak the Hunter. He's the only 2016 set that I know I'm getting for sure. I haven't decided yet on the Toa.

 

2. I guess Akida, but I'm not that excited for them. At least not yet, anyways.

Rough one. I think I dig Onua the best of all of the Uniters, although I'm coming up with more reasons to like Umerak. 

 

The creatures are a hard decision for a different reason from the Uniters - they are all too good. Uxar narrowly gets my vote, although I really like Terak, Melum, and Akida as well. 

[Evergrey: Toa of Music]

I'm looking forward to Lewa, but even so, I'm not really super excited about any of the toa this year :/ Just looking at Umarak is great though. I'm excited for him and the Mask of Control. I'm excited for all of the creatures, but Ikir is super cool to me. 

[Rooster Nui]

I like the creatures a lot more than I did initially, especially after I watched BZPower's 2016 set discussion livestream, where they showed off their unique functions. Out of all of them, though, I dig Terak the most due to his function and color-scheme. 

 

For the Toa, I went with Gali; despite her appearance being considerably less feminine than this year's one, I like her color-scheme more and the fact that she has got more clearance for articulation in her arms. 

[Naota Takizawa]

Everybody loves Lewa & Uxar, and so do I.

 

I just want to get a bunch of yellow CCBS pieces so I can replace some of Lewa's silver with them.

[Xboxtravis]

I want to see Umarak!! I was kind of interested in Gali, but VBBN's review on Eurobricks has made me doubt Gali. I might get Tahu, being the texture disaster he is I find that fitting for a brash Toa of Fire.

I'm excited for Lewa, because he just became a fairy princess.

[MrSciFiGuy]

I'm hyped for Lewa and Uxar. I love Lewa's mask and anything insectoid is a plus for me.

[masterchirox580]

I'd probably have to go with Uxar and Onua. Onua's got so many cool pieces and I love the drill hammer, plus his mask looks kinda like Whenua (and I loved the toa metru). And my favourite creature would have to be Uxar. He's just so good for a non-humanoid and I really wanna see what they do with his function. 

[Ektris]

Umarak by far. Unlike this year, where I still haven't got most of the villains, I want to get Umarak right away.

 

The creatures are a toss up because I honestly like all of them, but Uxar is my pick because... looks coolest? Although Ikir comes close.

Lewa and Gali, and their respected critters. I'll get the Stone Elementals because of luscious brown, but that's probably the only reason why (still need to get 205 Pohatu, Skelly Wellys have yet to pop up in stores (last I checked was in November so maybe they are there now)).
