believe victims Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I think a good compromise between brown and a brighter color is Hewkii's dark orange. That'd be a good color to see some more constraction sets in.Sooo... Burnt Umber or whatever?

Eclipsed Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) Is there any particular order you will buy the sets in, assuming they keep the same 6 colors as original? Will you buy them in order of your first Toa Mata sets? Favorite colors? All at once? This is troublesome for me cause I'm like ocd about nostalgic things like this, and if they release the Toa Mata characters, I want to get them in the same order, but I've forgotten what that order is o.OI will buy them all at once and build them in the order I got my first bionicles.

Toa Of Virtues Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Although I did like brown, I really like what they did with Hewkii in both of his Toa forms. However, I hated the color scheme on Pohatu Phantoka, I really don't like the color orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I hated the color scheme on Pohatu Phantoka, I really don't like the color orange. From what I see from the pictures, I think Hewkii in both of his forms looks pretty epic. But I agree that the orange was very disturbing, especially on Pohatu who we've seen already with a much better color scheme. The color orange in general is fine for me but is a little bright in Lego pieces and looks best on Onu matoran (nuparu) Quote tumblr: it's a lovely place to be if you've gone madflickr: mah yummy gross pics mmmPew Pew Pew Pew Pew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeb Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 My guess the Mask of Creation would come with some kind of titan set in the second half of the year. I think so, too. Unless they bring back mask packs... What if it is yellow? Remember in the initial countdown, all of the Mata colors were there except brown was replaced by yellow.Nah, I don't think they'd do that, that's pretty far from brown. They'll probably make him some sort of orange or something. If they were to put yellow in a Stone Toa set it would probably be a secondary color, unless they're completely changing the color-element-coordination. (Oh, and you may notice that the 2 coutndown images that Lego released were brick-built versions of openings like this, and perhaps the colored tiles may have just represented a color test on one of those countdowns?)

Lyichir Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) Ooh, a brown debate! Time for me to chip in with fun factsTM.VERY technically, the official colors for Stone characters have been shades of yellow and orange from the very beginning. Pohatu's original colors were Earth Orange (Mata Brown, for those not in the know) and Brick Yellow (Tan). Earth Orange was the darkest Lego shade of orange, the same way Earth Blue (Metru Blue) was and still is the darkest Lego shade of blue. Earth Orange was discontinued in 2004. Hewkii used Dark Orange, which is still in production. Rahkshi Panrahk used Metallic Earth Orange, and was the only set to ever use that color.When Earth Orange was discontinued, the brown sets started using 217 Brown, which was an odd color, since it was primarily used as a minifigure skin tone outside of Bionicle. Most other sets transitioned to Reddish Brown instead (which wasn't used in Bionicle until Avak). Brown was EXTREMELY subject to discoloration, and was discontinued in 2006.Avak used Reddish Brown, with a secondary color of Sand Yellow (Dark Tan). He was the last "brown set" until Vorox (who could only arguably be considered a brown set). After Avak the Stone characters transitioned to using more standard shades of yellow and orange, like Flame Yellowish Orange (Keetorange) or Bright Orange. Carapar's mottled-brown color was achieved by blending Flame Yellowish Orange and Transparent Brown (the color used for things like most Star Wars cockpit glass).As you can see, the colors of brown sets have varied tremendously over the years, but have almost always occupied the yellow/orange section of the color wheel. Considering that, it's easy enough to see why, when traditional brown sets' sales were flagging, Lego started using brighter yellow and orange sets, which stood out more and better matched the brighter colors of the Fire, Water, and Air sets.

Toa of Ice - 1987 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I think a good compromise between brown and a brighter color is Hewkii's dark orange. That'd be a good color to see some more constraction sets in.Or maybe the color for the copper huna masks from 2001, thats a good color.

Willess12 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I discovered an interesting color combination while hanging up shirts, of all things: I hung a purple shirt on a Dark tan (or, as Lyichir called it, sand yellow) hanger. I liked the color combo enough that I made a MOC using those colors. And I mean my own creation, not Mask of Creation. I think it be cool to see as a set. Or maybe purple and Mata Brown (earth Orange). And yes, I had a purple shirt. I don't remember why; it was some photography studio shirt. 1 Quote On 9/29/2014, Greg Farshtey said: "Just wanted to say a quick something -- A lot of you guys are BIONICLE fans, many from way back.

Voltex Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I kind of wish they had kept the "keetorange"/"gunmetal" colour scheme that they used for Hewkii Inika on future stone-affiliated characters. I really liked that colour scheme, and Hewkii was definitely my favourite of the Inika because of it. Plus, it would be easy enough to do with the current building system. I doubt it'll happen, though. 4 Quote JOIN AETHERGARDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bioniclepluslotr Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I'm pretty sure they'll reveal all the sets, given that they've already been leaked all over the place, no point in trying to hide it.
