Toa Smoke Monster Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Well I mean if we have these, images, then why are we still only getting Tahu centered videos? I want more of Onua and Lewa so we can see to what extent his powers cover air and the jungle.We should see the other Toa in future episodes when they are released. At least, I hope we see them in future episodes. I don't see why they wouldn't get their own episodes sometime down the line. 1 Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

Blueblur21 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 If I'm going to get another figure, its got to be Pohatu. Sorry Gali fans, but I need Pohatu to go with my Onua. You know, brOTP and all that.No. This is the last thing we need. They are brothers and nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stone Guys Jungle Guys Ice Guys Earth Guys Water Girls Fire Guys These are great! The ads nail the sort of slapstick that Lego can provide. None of the videos feel repetitive despite following a similar format; each one has a different method of the Protector giving the Toa its armor.

Nescent Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Finally watched those stop-motion animations.

fishers64 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Can anyone here make it so that the different music tracks from the animations and trailers do not have the sound effects? I would love to hear the music only for a change. Here is the original video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjcbyezMVFsAlso includes Toa clips without narration.That should provide some of your fix.

Volitak_Boxor Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 It's kind of sad that the most personality we've seen for most of the Protectors so far has come from 30 second clips advertising combiners, of all things. That's not the fault of these newest stop-motion animations, though. I think they're pretty neat and have some Lego-style humor that we likely won't see in the story, and I chuckled, so I'd say they were successes. P.S. Anyone wish that those clear mask-holding pieces were real? Quote ^ Often lurking, occasionally writing about sets on BS01.

Blastcage Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 My friend had a baby Wednesday, so I saw her at the hospital today...he's freaking adorable. Anyways, while I was there, she had the TV there on Cartoon Network, and the new Bionicle commercial aired twice. I was only there for like an hour and a half, maybe 2 hours. Very nice to see Bionicle commercials again. 1 Quote @THE_Blastcage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched this vid and I have come to a possible conclusion. In every Toa clip the LoSS was there. Now assuming that the Toa were all searching for their masks at the same time and possibly found them at roughly within each other how did this thing get to each location just as the respective Toa was finding their golden mask? I could suggest that it had been following them since the beginning but in order to be there at the exact time the Toa found the mask it would have to be in multiple places at once. Hence... There must be more than one LoSS out there. Then again I guess one could just say that these are not canon so there is still only one... If there is only one I still hold the idea that due to the first part of the vid showing the LoSS collecting the MoC that just maybe the LoSS is the corrupted Makuta, Quote "A stranger will always be a stranger unless you give them a chance." || <- My Pokémon | BZPRPG Characters: Po-Matoran Doseki & Nui-Jaga Scorpio; Ga-Matoran Orca Matoran und Panzer: Doseki & Glitch | Marvel RP PC | Mata Nui Monopoly: Come...

Nescent Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 People have been theorizing that there are multiple LoSS since the reboot began, but it would have been confirmed by now. LoSS is always referred to as singular. I think he appears in all the box covers to make it clear that he is the wave's villain, and he's after the masks.

IcarusBen Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Blue, did Lego give you a tracking number? If so, you can probably check with the postal service either where they're shipping it from or where ever you're at. If it got lost, Lego might offer you either a refund or they might give you the same sets for free. Bonus points if they think it's lost, send you duplicates only for both orders to arrive. That would be awesome. Quote LEGO Republic:The ValkyrieThe "Christmas Brick" My BZPRPG Profiles Now a proud member of The Kanohi Force Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told the LEGO rep I'd give the service until Monday before I finally assume it's been lost. If I do get duplicates I could have two Galis!

GSR Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 LOOK! OFFICIAL STOP-MOTION BIONICLE SHORTS FROM LEGO!!! My immediate thought upon watching these - besides, of course, general joy - is that if Bionicle pops up in The Lego Movie 2, it'll probably be in a way a lot like these animations. And I'm 100% okay with that. 6 Quote Hey: I'm not very active around BZP right now.

Even the Mata Nui Online Game from 2001 had some slapstick moments. A good story shouldn't have to take itself seriously 100% of the time. If these animations bother you so much, just think of them like the "Rahkshi Rock" video from 2003 or the "Singing Squid" video from 2007—both non-canon "jokes" that had no effect on the canon of those story years as a whole. Anywho, my opinion of these animations? They look fantastic, and give me more hope than ever that Bionicle characters could make a grand appearance in The Lego Movie 2. 3 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how would they fit in with Emmet in his world? Since the movie takes place 4 years after the events of the first movie, I thinkSPOILER ALERT!!! Finn (the kid) may have gotten interested in Constraction by then. And so after buying some Bionicle sets, they wind up in the Lego Movie Universe. The first movie seemed to hint that the dad owned some original Bionicle sets, so it would be interesting if there was this scene where the new Tahu meets the old one.
