Nescent Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Trans grey Clear. Well those are certainly interesting choices. I don't really see the point in clear eyes though, would that be any different from having no eyes at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silo Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I'd have loved to see three colours for the toa: the two they have and trans neon orange (to try and get away from "red/orange = evil") and three for the villains: trans purple, trans dark red (Toa Matau eye colour) and trans black or trans dark green.

Rahkshi Lalonde Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 So you'd rather pass on the uniqueness of a trans grey brain/eye piece? It just wouldn't be as luminous, which is why the eyes are transparent to begin with.

Lyichir Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) I think it'd be helpful for many of the commenters here to refer to Lego Digital Designer's color palette before they make suggestions. I've heard a number of colors suggested that either have never existed in Lego or don't exist currently. And some suggestions are so vague as to be meaningless. For instance, there have bee several colors which could maybe be considered "trans. teal", but of the current color palette only exists one color that comes close, and that's Trans. Light Blue—one of the colors that the new eyepiece is already appearing in. And there's virtually no chance that Lego would introduce a brand new color just for an eyepiece, since that's one of the least visible colors on ANY model (especially for non-fluorescent colors), and Lego no longer introduces colors willy-nilly the way they did in the late '90s. Another great resource is Brick Colorstream, a Flickr gallery with photographs of pretty much every Lego color ever produced. It's useful for seeing what Lego's Transparent colors actually look like, since LDD's depictions of transparent colors often don't convey quite what the color looks like in real life. Keep in mind, though, that the vast majority of those colors have been retired. If it isn't on the LDD palette or hasn't appeared in the past year, you can safely assume it's gone for good. Why isn't that muti limbed black and orange guy the main baddy? he's much better looking than LOSS. I assume you meant to post this somewhere else, since it has nothing to do with this topic, but if you're referring to the model on the Bionicle Facebook page, it's because that is a set designer's MOC and was never designed with the intention of becoming a set. If it were sold as a set it would likely be a lot bigger and more expensive than any other CCBS set has ever been. It also has no functions and uses zero new or recolored parts, so I don't think it would sell nearly as well as LOSS.

LegoSWfan Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 No, I ment to post it here, as this is where I found the link. And I would rather have orange and black guy over LOSS. He actually looks threatening, not just a walking head. I'm getting all the new Toa, but LOSS is an easy pass. Now then, back to eyes.

T.B.O.C Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 i would have liked green, those were always my favorite eye colors of the Mata heads. If anything, I'd rather not have the majority be lime green or orange, it was super overdone by the end. Greens, Blues, and Yellows were always my favorite, and the pinks worked too. Purple, although unlikely, would be really cool if we got a Makuta set later in 2015.

Aanchir Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Lego seems iffy on merging two trans colors together.Not really — the energy pieces used for the weapons of the Protector of Jungle, Protector of Stone, Protector of Fire, and Tahu are all blended from two transparent colors. Of course, I don't think the eye piece is designed to be co-injected, so it might need a new mold for that effect. Even then, I don't know if the effect would work as nicely on such a small part.
