Hapori Tohu Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 The highly anticipated June release of the summer 2016 LEGO Bionicle sets is fast approaching, and in preparation for that, LEGO has uploaded high-resolution images of some of the new sets to cache.LEGO.com! Currently, only pictures for the Ekimu, Lava Beast, and Storm Beast sets have been added, but that still means 18 new images showing the sets' designs and functions in great detail. Read on for links to the new images, then share your thoughts in the Talkback topic! View the full article 2 Quote News Forums Q&A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSciFiGuy Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Huh, Storm Beast doesnt come with a stud for Kopaka's eye? Weird. Love the photos though. Can't wait to get the sets 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.

Lyichir Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Huh, Storm Beast doesnt come with a stud for Kopaka's eye? Weird. Love the photos though. Can't wait to get the sets Huh, it doesn't. Now I'm left with the burning question... if it did include a stud, what color would it be? Trans. Light Blue, like on the ones that come with Kopaka? Or Trans. Fluor. Green, which matches the two-color blend on the mask as well as the eye color for the Beasts? I guess when I get it I'll just have to try out both!

Nescent Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Awesome!!! The images sold me on Ekimu. He'll probably be my second purchase after Quake Beast. I'm also really liking Storm Beast. Lava Beast looks really cool in the renders but I still think it's a pretty weak set...Weird legs, and I don't really like how his hands are built. Love the colors, chest print, and wings, though.

Taria Pakari Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I do still wonder what significance the black and trans-red hunter mask holds. I suppose we'll find out when the story continues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenPancake_ Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I do still wonder what significance the black and trans-red hunter mask holds. I suppose we'll find out when the story continues. I'm really hoping that it isn't the Mask of Ultimate Power. That would be terribad. Maybe the hunter mask melted a little? Quote A big thank you to Toucan Sam for the Okotian name.

J46 Nui Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Really looking forward to the new Ekimu. I hope that Umarak's pictures are uploaded soon, because that is the other set I am looking forward to the most. The beasts are not really doing it for me. Hopefully they will win me over in person, but the pictures are not raising my hopes.

Naota Takizawa Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 They're not too good for display, but I think I'll buy them for the building & play experience, not to mention the new pieces & recolors. (on a side note, am I the only disappointed by the fact that the elemental beasts are all humanoid, especially after seeing the creature sets?) 1 Quote If you like Pingu & want to support a good project, click here.

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Wow, Ekimu actually looks really epic in some of these shots. The Beasts, eh, still not too fond of their aesthetics BUT the original functions look so cool that I forgive em. They fall under Skull Scorpio territory - Ugly, but with amazing original functions so they get a pass. Can't wait to pick em up! -NotS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ta-metru_defender Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) The beasts strike me as being meant to have a backwards-knee sorta joint going on. Ekimu looks dope though, with the trans-blue and all.

Tarn Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Ekimu looks so good. I'm really liking the beasts but EKIMU, man. Quote [BZPRPG] (shout out to max) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torran Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) Fun fact, Ekimu alt2 is Umarak the Destroyer? Edited May 21, 2016 by Torran Quote flickr - Brickshelf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Invisible Handman Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Eh there's nothing here that's new now, already know everything about the sets. It's nice to see Lego updating their website to sell the new sets though.

FordianL at the BCC Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Ekimu is growing on me. Even though a few parts offered in this wave are appealing to my creative side, they just seem too few to justify getting this whole wave.

Smitty Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 What the is this? http://cache.lego.com/r/dynamic/is/image/LEGO/71312_alt2?op_sharpen=0&resmode=sharp4&wid=4000&fit=constrain,1&fmt=png-alpha Quote At some point you realize that you are but a speck in the Universe. That you time in this worlds is but a blink. You see the whole of reality as it unfolds before you. You try to see how far you can reach, and it’s not that far past your face. But then you come back from the brink. You hold them in your arms again. And you know that you are where their world begins. You are their rock.

Aanchir Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 What the ###### is this? http://cache.lego.com/r/dynamic/is/image/LEGO/71312_alt2?op_sharpen=0&resmode=sharp4&wid=4000&fit=constrain,1&fmt=png-alpha It's a picture of Umarak the Destroyer that snuck into Ekimu the Mask Maker's pictures for some reason. He's a pretty cool new titan set, and a pretty neat design for a corrupted version of Umarak the Hunter.

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 It's a picture of Umarak the Destroyer that snuck into Ekimu the Mask Maker's pictures for some reason. He's a pretty cool new titan set, and a pretty neat design for a corrupted version of Umarak the Hunter. Yeah, I used to think Umarak the Destroyer held no resemblance to Hunter because of the colour scheme and huge size discrepancy, but that high res pic in particular proved otherwise. The little details like the dangling chain on his right side and the leg design that translates the original figure's help keep the connection clear. I actually really respect that. Its so much better than the weird G1 Kongu Inika-to-Mahri-like transitions. This actually feels like a transformation that makes sense, so kudos to the designers for getting that right! -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
