Official 2008 Sets Topic Options

[Zoink]

I'm actually also hoping for black.

[LegendNorik]

Same with me. However I think gunmetal would better symbolize his Twilight status.

[Takua the Wander...]

...He already has white.

[RotationalBasis]

Rahiki Heads?

Anyways, Gorast and Krika would just be in tangles if they had limbs any longer. I mean seriously, 22 points of articulation on a canister set?

[The Wretched Aut...]

Are those pictures even allowed?


The first set I'm getting, if I see the Mistika, is Axalara or Jetrax.

[Matoro3311]

Huh, never noticed that. That's pretty neat, again, I hope that they can have some functionality for MOCers.
EDIT: Anyone notice that Rockoh has lime-green Inika shoulder armor?

I saw them YONKS ago. I also saw Nuhvok-Kal Shields.

BTW: Guess what, guess what!! I was in a shopping centre today, and I saw trucks onloading boxes labelled 'Mistika'!!

[Bladewing Krika]

I know it's kind of early to ask, but has anyone seen Mistika yet? Or heard that stores might be getting them in? I'm getting really ansy sitting on all the money I have.

Someone told me he has seen Rockoh somewhere for 42 euros but he has NO PROOF to confirm what he is saying (I hope this is true).

[Republic Command...]

I'm going to Toys R Us today, I'll let you guys know if they have any mistika!

You're joking, right? Eh, even if you aren't, our state won't see them for another month or two... *sighs* D:
On topic: Which vehicle do you guys think has the most bang for its buck? I say either Rockoh or Mazeka... =D

Axalara, true it's expensive, but look at what you get!!!!

[-Morgoth-]

I just got back from TRU, and, when I walked into the LEGO section, I was shocked to see it was all rearranged! There was sale going on, and they put out some LEGO sets form like the 1990s! After looking around, I found the Bionicles again...AND THE MISTIKA WERE THERE! I grabbed Tahu and Onua, then put Onua back and got Krika, then I looked down to find...TAKANUVA! So, I started to go to the checkout...


...and I woke up.

For one glorious second, I thought you were serious...

[Newmega]

I just called the Lego Store in my state. The guy didn't know when they'd get Mistika in stock, but he told me to keep calling back. I'll try again Friday.

[.:DB:.]

go on brickshelf and look for mazeka. cant put a link cause i'm using my ps3 to write this.

[Axxerous]

You ddon't care about masks, axxerous?

I think it makes them cool. A bad mask usually takes away from the set. A set with no mask is bland - a cool mask is what makes it so good!

~Air Spirit

Well, Iused to look at masks, but now that the books come out before the sets they are about usually, i tend to pick favs by their character in story. Masks used to be a big deal for me. I still collect them!

[Use Your Illusio...]

Gali has grown on me a lot now. I think Onua might be my least favorite toa this year I dont know why.

[Republic Command...]

Eh, I hate Gali!

[Shadow-Nui]

She looks kinda cool in a way. Also her pose on the canister is epic.

Her mask is ugly, IMO, and without the fins, it's uglier.

[=-M-=]

Yeah, I dislike the mask too. A blue Tanma mask would've been better for her.

[The Wretched Aut...]

Europeans too.

And Australians.

And Asians.

~E~

Not americans but we had it coming for a long time anyway
Oh yeah whats tall whit and black ,and he can't keep a secret for his life

Takanuva, 2008 form of course. But this isn't the "Official Quiz Topic", it's the Official 2008 Sets Topic.
Anyway, the Phantoka were just released in my country 2 weeks ago. 2 WEEKS. And believe me, they cost more than they do in the US. I can't believe I had to pay $20 for Kopaka and $9 for Solek.

Blimey!

I really dislike the prices of the new sets- but all in all, I think they're worth it... sort of.

My point is I can't pay £60 for Axalara.

Axalara is £50.

How many of you like Krika? I don't. I like his weapons, but he is waaaaaay to simple of a build!
Sev

I like Krika and he's going to be my first buy of the canister sets, if I see him first.

I don't think he's a good buy, he's only like 40 pieces, while Tahu is 75+!
Sev

75! Wow, that's much better than I thought.

But Krika is still made of awesomeness! He looks amazing, in my opinion.

[Makuta's Scout]

I changed my mind, I think I'll get Onua instead of Tahu. He looks better and better the more you see him!
Sev

I feel the same way, except that I like them both equally. But Onua seems pretty cool, even with the kraahkan like kanohi and the mata red. And I'd like to see that new piece that goes over the top of Onua's nynrah. And I like the whole idea of the big shoulder armor piece. (also known as a wing for Bitil, and an Armor piece for Taka)

[Zainith]

I may be in the vast minority here, but I think all of the sets for summer 2008 look good. Sure, they have some misgivings, like the Makuta not having real Kanohi, Tahu and Gali having reversed Piraka torsos, and Krika having that annoying Phantuka chest, but other than that, they all look good. Personally, if I had to rank the canister sets, Onua would be first and Gorast would be last, the others are all about the same. And of course, all of the boxed sets look amazing (well, for the vehicle series, the vehicles look amazing. The pilots of them, not so much.)

[Bfahome]

That's natural. When the sets are announced, we hate them. But when the time comes to their release, we all love them.

That's the way it is. It's certainly better to hate then get then love than to love then get then hate.

Hey, the more pieces the better! (more fun to build)

As long as they're good pieces. ;P

Gali has grown on me a lot now. I think Onua might be my least favorite toa this year I dont know why.

Eh, I hate Gali!
Sev

She looks kinda cool in a way. Also her pose on the canister is epic.

Her mask is ugly, IMO, and without the fins, it's uglier.

[=-M-=]

Yeah, I dislike the mask too. A blue Tanma mask would've been better for her.

THANK YOU.

I totally agree with you. The Summer sets look great! Way better than how they looked in the toyfair pics.

Hey, the more pieces the better! (more fun to build)

As long as they're good pieces. ;P

Well, i would think......but still! More smaller pieces = longer building times and more complexity,
more big parts = more complex look, and more pieces for creative mind building

Well it still all depends on the piece. I couldn't make something out of Inika bodies, nor could I make something with #2 plus-rods.

Sev

Eh, I think Gorast is worst. I mean seriously, they both stink, but Gorast, even with the 6 limbs, has a backwards inika torso in gray, which doesn't even fit with the clr sceme. While Bitil has multi jointed legs and arms, a cool head, and yellow for Bionilce that we haven't seen since mata-nui.
