I couldn't hold it in, here are my thoughts on the 08 sets.

POHATU:

Pohatu's..allright. The weapons look interesting- the mask is horrible. But however, we have good MOCing peices such as the Orange Jaller Mahri Feet, Orange Piraka Upper Leg Armor, and a Gray Kongu Mahri Body. 7.5/10

KOPAKA:

NOO! From what i can tell, he again has a mask with a telescopic eye, there's outofplace red, and it looks to me like a Hahli Inika Body with a few modifications. And are those WINGS!?!?!!?!?!?

5/10

LEWA:

So no Dark Green? In that case, they should have fixed the lime green issue. >.> The weapon looks interesting, and the mask looks pretty cool. Also, it's great to have Mantax Feet in another color. The Launchers look like the best yet. 8/10

CHIROX:

One Word: AWESOME. This guy looks menacing, almost as much as the Piraka or Barraki. Sadly, i can't see much of him from these pictures. 9/10

VAMPRAH:

Hhmm..Interesting. Another menacing one. Is this one gonna be female? But..what the heck is the red thing in it's stomach? 7.5/10

ANTROZ:

Oooh. From what i can see, he's got some nice armor and such..I can;t see much more from that pic. 8/10

PHOTOK:

Small Sets are getting better. We now have a NEW Mask, NEW Arms/Legs, and of coruse, the jackpot- ORANGE NUVA/OLDA FEET. What's bad? Recycled weapons. 8/10

SOLEK:

I like the mask on this one, i can see it being used in Turaga MOCs. Nothing else to really say... 7/10

TANMA:

A coincidence here is that the Air Matoran has weapons shaped like the Air Katana.. And are those new hands? They look good.. 8/10

KIROP:

This one is good. The Face is pretty cool, and i could use some more Matoro Mahri Claw peices.

And this guy has WINGS. NEW Wings. 9/10

GAVLA:

This obviously isn't a matoran. Therefore, we should expect Summer Small Sets. Onto the set itself, It's great Mata Blue is coming back, but it should only be a secondary color.. And I need some more Carapar Claws.. 8/10

RAIDAK:

Spidermatoran, Spidermatoran, does whatever a spidermatoran does. Wait, i doubt this is a matoran. Highly unlikely, in fact. Regardless, the 4 Legs= Awesome, And the mask-like thing will be GREAT for MOCing. 9/10

TOA FAIL IGNIKA

One Word: FAIL. I think a 10 year old designed this. Seriously Lego, you can do way better than this! It's basically a Barely Modified Hewkii Mahri on a thrown-together vehicle. Seriosuly, who designed this? If it's not a little kid who designed it, i'm dissapointed because i know the set designers have much more capability than this. If it's Over $20, I will not buy it. However, if it's $20 or under (How about $1?), I Will, ony for the MOCing parts and the Ignika.

1/10.

There are my thoughts. Check back when official Summer 2008 Pictures are released for more!

(playets with minifigs with MOVING LEGS..PLEASE!)
