Hapori Tohu Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 The Toys 'R' Us website has posted listings for the summer 2016 Bionicle sets 71312 Ekimu the Mask Maker, 71313 Lava Beast, 71314 Storm Beast, and 71316 Umarak the Destroyer. The sets are not yet in stock or available to order, and set 71315 Quake Beast is not even listed at this time, but there are still some great new pictures and official descriptions to whet your whistle as we await these sets' release. Follow the links above to check out the new listings! View the full article 1 Quote News Forums Q&A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doodleloot Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Does anyone know if these will be released early in Europe again? Quote Hail Denmark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyichir Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Does anyone know if these will be released early in Europe again? I don't know if they're supposed to be... but then, who knows? The June release date for the U.S. is already unusually early, compared to the July/August summer waves of past years.

Tarvaxx Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) I'd like to let everyone know that the sets WERE up for purchase before the time you reported on the sets being up. A lot of people on the message boards were scrambling to buy the sets, but after an hour or so the sets were all sold out. Umarak was the first one, to my disappointment. BIONICLE fans are jerks. I wanted Umarak more than all of you.

MetroidwaveX50 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 The June release date for the U.S. is already unusually early, compared to the July/August summer waves of past years. Wait, the sets are coming out in June? When was this announced? I'd given up hope of getting these sets earlier than August. Quote Did you go to the 2002 'The Power Lies Beneath' tour?If yes, PM me. I'm looking for something that was only distributed during that tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the summer Bionicle sets were marked for a June release. Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny7092 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) Well, for summer sets that will come in June, rather than July or August, unusually, they really do come fast for some reason. This makes me feel excited! Anyway, I wonder why it is that early? Because there are a lot of themes with a lot of sets coming this August, so Lego had to push the summer Bionicle sets earlier?

Click Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Hmm... I was hoping Lego was going to do more with the chestplates. Storm Beast is looking better than what I imagined from Toy Fair images, but I'm still not liking those prints.

bionicleFanatic Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Ugh, the beast's lower legs are a mess. They would have looked great if they'd just added some proper covering. So much wasted potential... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nco99 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 i noticed on Storm Beast that it said it was "Our Exclusive"please tell me this doesn't mean it's only going to be available there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aanchir Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Ugh, the beast's lower legs are a mess. They would have looked great if they'd just added some proper covering. So much wasted potential... I kind of think the spindly lower legs actually sort of add to their beastliness. Kind of like how wolves' lower legs are pretty thin compared to their bodies. I definitely don't think all of the lower leg builds are equally well designed, though. Storm Beast's and Quake Beast's are alright but I'm not really sold on Lava Beast's.
