Lord Admiral Helden Ravensdorn Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 (edited) New for 2008! Turaga Wutifook, wearing the Noble Kanohi Mask Ohemgii! Edited July 16, 2007 by Lord Admiral Helden Ravensdorn Quote
Shakar Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 (edited) New Toa Nuva? Toa Ignika? I already LOVE 2008! *wub* There appears to be a certain Hahli Inika as well.... 8-| Looks like the small sets are now 7 Euro. I suppose that they got bigger, and if bigger means better then I'm for it. Regarding the six can sets..well, looks like I will have to give up. The can sets now regularly cost 12 Euro. But again, if that means more pieces and greater quality I have no problem. Shakar Edited July 16, 2007 by Shakar Quote
yovnocrats Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 check this out (incident caused by the list) http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b372/sil.../dumbposter.jpg Quote
Lord Thrawn Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 I spotted that too. I think it has to do with recent databse problems there. I'd cut him some slack lol. :-P Quote
Darkness Falls Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 New for 2008! Turaga Wutifook, wearing the Noble Kanohi Mask Ohemgii! You need to stop. Quote
Kahgarak Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 You need to stop. Indeed, these negative comments are starting to annoy me also. Admiral, If you don't like where's Bionicle going now, then why waste your time posting annoying comments that have no point? We know that you hate most of present-day Bionicle, and there is no need to repeat, with all due respect. ;-) If you don't like it, it's time to move on to another theme. :-) Quote
Zarkan Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Besides, half of it's not even TLC's fault. You know why the 2001 names were so original? Because in reality, they were words from another language. Words from forgien languages often sound great in fantasy universes. Even the word "Jedi" aparrently is from a real language, since I read in the news about some buhddist temple with Jedi in the name. Then, along came the Maori, along came lawsuits and pointless hacking of BZP, and POOF, TLC has to make their own names up. After 7 years, making new ones up that don't sound like old ones gets a bit hard. Look for example, at some of the names I made up for my 2008 set ideas: Tylox Ehloh Gytax Ohlok Not very original, eh? :-/ Quote

hewkii9 Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Yay! Pohatu returns-and in the first wave too! I will be sorely dissapointed if he's not brown. Brown and Keetyellow, sure, but not iron and Keetyellow. And Lewa too- I can imagine an improved [Lhikan's Hau] Miru Nuva. And names are easy if you think about it- Vasrutki Eskrani Kahakuta Lederala Teshatumar Gundyrai Ta Da! Quote

Thing is that each of those would have to be run through numerous legal checks to make sure it doesn't mean anything in another language, so as to avoid another situation like that with the Maori.

Clonie Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Don't mind Ravensdorn... it's all in good humor. Quote
Wobo Ihi Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 I don't care if the names are silly; if the sets are, however... I seriously think they should take a break from Bionicle for a year. Quote
Lord Admiral Helden Ravensdorn Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Hah, sorry. I found it kind of witty... >_> Jus' a mite irritatin' to have more names that sound "generic", is all :-/ Quote
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 (edited) After talks between LEGO Company and the relevant site, the names and set numbers posted have been taken down. Greg http://www.pricerunner.de/f/72/Spielzeug?a_search=Bionicle Think again, Greg. :-P -Ikk Edited July 18, 2007 by Ikki o' Moopyville Quote
Zarkan Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 He meant taken down from Amazon. That was where they first showed up, and I doubt TLC or the Bionicle team even knows they reapeared on this site. They will probably be taken down eventually. ;-) Quote
Kynok Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 I hope the case is that the winter 2008 canister sets will be three villians and three heroes. That would be a nice change. Quote
Western Forever Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Vamprah? Sounds like vampire. Maybe he's like the Bionicle version of Dracula, much like Kharzahni was to Satan/Hades? Quote
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 Cool! The new names were intresting, but the best part is the Ignika and the Toa Nuva!!! YAY!!! -ZotS Quote
Darkness Falls Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Hah, sorry. I found it kind of witty... >_>Jus' a mite irritatin' to have more names that sound "generic", is all :-/ At yet, none of them sounded like your witty names. Quote
Clonie Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 At yet, none of them sounded like your witty names.What's that supposed to mean? Quote
Zarkan Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 What's that supposed to mean? He means that even the new 2008 bionicle names don't sound as bad as the "witty" names Ravensburg posted. I agree, but I'm not that impressed with the new names, either. :-/ Quote
Lord Admiral Helden Ravensdorn Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 I concur they arent as bad as the names I posted - that was the whole point. Im just finding these, as Hewkii9 pointed out, bad "witty" knock-offs of real words as names that come out as poor fantasy names to be quite trying. Ikki of Moopyville and I came up with "Lekua" as a good alternative to "Lesovikk", for example. Quote
