Swanka Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I'll be getting Skull Warrior. It has a nice amount of the trans-light blue pieces, the new bone pieces, the new add-on pieces, the gear function, not one but TWO different weapons (a bow/stud lanucher and a blade), a cool new mask, and the gold/trans-light blue Mask of Ice. For only $14.99 USD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToaDraco Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Skull Grinder v Mask Maker hands down. Basher will likely be next, followed by slicer, then warrior and finally scorpio. Quote "Avengers?

Onvermel Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Skull Scorpio for the Pohatu mask. If not that probably Skull Grinder vs Mask Maker more the mask of creation and Ekimu. -Onvermel- Edited March 24, 2015 by Onvermel Quote "I believe in certainties. The strength of my limbs, the power of my mask, the sharp edges of my blades — that is what I build my plans around. Trickery, deception, complex strategies, they are for the weak! If you want power, and another has it, you get it not by outwitting him — you get it by stepping over his corpse." Makuta Icarax "WHO ATE ALL THE PIES!

Spiffy247 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I will get whatever I find first. I am not going to be picky. And I'm back! 3 Quote A fish wielding vampire. That's Spiffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pahrak Model ZX Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Skull Basher's design appeals to me the most, half-trans-purple Mask of Earth included, and I can't not get Ekimu and the Mask of Creation. I wasn't sure about Skull Grinder at first, but I'm warming up to them. Depending on my funds I might also get Skull Warrior, though primarily for the half-trans-blue Mask of Ice and to have another of the new sword pieces. Slicer and Scorpio have some interesting qualities (and more sword pieces), but I'm probably going to skip them to save a little money. 1 Quote My Library Right of Law (Epics) KARDAS DRAGON appears!

Cwog Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I have been thinking over which Protector to get, and when the pics for the new sets came out, Non of the grunts excited me any.So obviously Grinder. Has the sweetest looking Protector(like) figure + The mask of Creation- a mask I have been dying to see since G1 + a bunch of Trans neon Orange- my fav trans colour.There was a mask of creation in G1? Yes, Artahka wore it. It was never released as a set, and I think that the Gen2 mask has different powers than the Gen1 mask. In any case, I'm super psyched for it. As for the skull villain I'm getting first, I'd say Grinder and Warrior. I want the other three as well, but those two are high-priority. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nato G Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I've been waiting to get my hands on the Mask of Creation since I first heard it would appear in this year's storyline. I never got any of the Legendary Masks that came out in Gen1, and I refuse to miss out this time around.

Toa of the Blazing Inferno Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Grinder, mostly, if not only, for Ekimu and the MoC, is the only one I'm planning on getting. If there was one that came with a mask of fire, then I'd get that one too, but there isn't. Off Topic: Is it just me, or would Basher's mask in white make a good General Grievous face if you added the pieces on the sides of GG's face? Just something I noticed when looking them up. 1 Quote My Maj | My MLN page | PDF Bionicle comics | Custom additions to Bionicle figuresGuardians of the Galaxy Teaser Poster in LEGO (originally from the LEGO Magazine July 2014 issue, now without the extra text)The Mata Nui Saga rearranged into chronological order, instead of having flashbacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masterchirox580 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Skull scorpio, I always get the worst first and save the best for last (that being the skull grinder/Ekimu set). Quote It's time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarvaxx Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Skull scorpio, I always get the worst first and save the best for last (that being the skull grinder/Ekimu set). Skull Scorpio is the best. It's like the Nui-Jaga, not to mention it has a Mask of Stone. I really don't understand why everyone is so obsessed with articulation, posing six different legs sounds extremely tedious, especially for a child (which is where the new series will get its fans" and having a tail with a grabbing feature sounds so much more extravagant than legs you have to move yourself. The new Toa are already hard to play with due to how many joints they have, which make their weapons clonky and hard to wield. moving their arms by themselves without the gear function causes the shoulder pads to come out of place, which ruins immersion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skull Scorpio is pretty meh. And I like him! It's not even the lack of articulation that is a problem as much as it is the awful color scheme, awful awful terrible no-good hands, weird clunky hugeness of the tail, lack of a unique mask of his own, and really, those colors are not good. On the other hand, the function is super fun, which makes up for a lot of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sassy Dalmation Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Probably going to get Skull Basher first, due to that awesome function and cool color scheme. After that, I will probably get MM vs. SG, then Warrior, Slicer, and Scorpion.

Just thought I'd let you know that the parts to the shield are technically all already available. The main two components are a Trans. Light Blue saw blade which appears in the Protector of Ice as well as the Legends of Chima constraction set CHI Vardy from last year, and a Warm Gold wheel element that appeared last year in the Disney Princess set Cinderella's Dream Carriage and the Ninjago set Battle for Ninjago City. Of course, all three masks in the set are brand new.

fishers64 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Wouldn't that technically mean that Ekimu's set is the cheapest way to get both of those parts anyway, though? Quote Hero Factory RPG | Bionicle Mafia XXIX: Storyline & Theories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyichir Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Wouldn't that technically mean that Ekimu's set is the cheapest way to get both of those parts anyway, though? Apart from buying them individually from a site like Bricklink (which would probably only run you a dollar or two), yes. But I figured it was worth pointing out that that option was available if you didn't want to wait.

Cwog Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 So, Ekimu's shield is made of two main components. 1, the silver saw-blade, and 2, the golden decoration from the Cinderella set. So, it seems like other than his burial mask, you can build Ekimu just from other sets. I still wanna buy him. Two awesome figures in one, all including the Mask of Creation? Well worth $30. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it won't be available until the same wave as him, but Skull Warrior also has the trans light blue launcher (with dark stone gray(?) inner piece) so it's not completely unique or exclusive to him.

Timageness Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Personally, I'm going to try to order them all at once. They'll most likely be taken apart to build something else within 24 hours of their original construction, though.I'm just psyched that we're finally getting a line of undead villains this time around. Should be great for some zombie MOCs. 1 Quote Epics: Hero Factory: ContagionRPG Characters:BZPRPG CharactersRPG History:The Asylum, Bionifight Infinite, Year 60,000, Matoran und Panzer, HF RPG 2.0, Wasteland, Corpus Rahkshi, SkyriseGM Résumé:Matoran und Panzer (Formerly Appointed Co-GM), Corpus Rahkshi (Former Substitute Co-GM) Feel free to shoot a PM my way if you're waiting for me to respond to something and I've been taking a while to do so.

T.B.O.C Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Most likely I'll end up buying them all at once. As much fun as it is buying them over periods of time I'm kind of looking forward to the trip to the Lego store to buy the full wave and possibly buy the last 3 Protectors I need if I haven't gotten them already. If not like that, Skull Grinder/Ekimu first, then Warrior, Basher, Slicer, and Scorpio. Scorpio looks far too thin and eh in my opinion, although Lego often does take the worst pictures of sets (see box art for the Boxor Vehicle). All the boxart had me concerned though, there's a hand reaching out for each of the masks (presumably the Toa it belongs to). I'm still also unsure of why Tahu and Gali are exempt from new masks. I have a bad feeling they might use the Trans-orange Mask of Fire as Tahu's variant, but either way it's gonna be a plot point that Gali and Tahu don't have these masks or maybe they'll be exclusives like a polybag when they new sets come out or whatever. Kind of exciting though, this'll be the first time I've ever bought the whole wave the year they came out besides the Stars, but those don't really count in my opinion. 1 Quote My Brickshelf, please don't copy!... ...Looking for shiny Regirock, Articuno, and Virizion!(Can trade most any legendary for them!)My 3DS friend list is full, sorry!

I never got any of the Legendary Masks that came out in Gen1, and I refuse to miss out this time around. I didn't get a lot of sets last time around, I feel ya bro... and I am NOT making that mistake this time. Every set, every mask pack (plz lego), I will not make the same mistake I made last time with G1.
