Brickthing Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 http://import.book.store.bg/product/id-054...rchstr=BionicleBIONICLE Reader #3. Look at the description ;) I'll have to get this, as GregF had to Make MN a character..... Now all I need is the MU map scan, and I'll die and go to heaven! ~iVahi Ha! My theory is win!
S-N Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 "An exicting new chapter."First rule of advertising: Do not use giant dung beetles in your ad!!!!! Otherwise people will think your product is crap. Heh, I think the beetle is win. =P
iLego94 Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Ancient Egypt thought that the Dung Beetle represented the rising and setting of the sun (and the ball of dung represented the sun), so therefore they worshiped it. So, the giant dung beetle might just be more important than MN XD ~iVahi
Trexxen Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Bara means Pressure, roughly (I think it may actually be Baro...). Magna means great. Of course, this is all going with the "new words = latin" thing, which of course makes since - dead people can't sue over a dead language - but it's really a great throwback to the fans to keep the "Great" in every name, if in a different form. But...Great Pressure? O_o ~Trexxen
~Wrack'n'Ruin~ Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Hooray! People, we're going to Bara Magna!
Pencoin Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Theres great pressure on da world, Tuma in town with his legion of rock, but Mat has arrived to save da day!
Bundalings Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Beam in the sky?Failtaro is rep for Mat in the piccy to keep Mat a secret. Cloud? iAgree "An exicting new chapter."First rule of advertising: Do not use giant dung beetles in your ad!!!!! Otherwise people will think your product is crap. I don't think that's a dung beetle, is it? It's one of them... uh... rhinoceros beetles. Or are they the same thing? XD Hey look news! (but not really, just wanted to point out the oddness) All I can say is I don't see how they are getting Matoro Inika from that. The figure is not white, and it's small enough on the image that I don't see how you can say it is anything other than an obvious BIONICLE figure. At any rate, no, of course it's not Matoro, Matoro is dead. O_o I guess Greg isn't lying when he says he doesn't pay attention to sets. Because if that's not an Inika... uh... clones! (but I still think it's a placeholder) (but if it isn't, 2009 just lost the game) ~Bunda

If you look closely, it doesn't have the new 2009 hand pieces, but the old ones.
The Dor Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) All you people are failing to notice that the characters shoulder armor is scooted up one peg, therefor, it isn't technically a clone. Also, that bug? It isn't a dung beetle. It is a Rhinoceros beetle. Very different. Rhino beetles fight each other and knock the losers out of trees. Dung beetle's pull life out of shit. Very very different things. Although it is worth noting that the two ARE related. But it's kinda like calling a bat a monkey. :/ Edited October 30, 2008 by The Dor
Zarkan Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 I guess Greg isn't lying when he says he doesn't pay attention to sets. Because if that's not an Inika... uh... clones!(but I still think it's a placeholder) (but if it isn't, 2009 just lost the game) Honestly, the chances of the Mata Nui set just being Matoro Inika are basically nothing. Lego does not rerelease bionicle sets - this is most definitely a placeholder.
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Holy WIN. Most likely thing that picture symbolizes is Toa Mata Nui looking upon the remnants of his own creation. How very eerie... and how totally wicked cool. Bug makes me happy. =D -Ikk
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 The majority of the translations of words similar to 'bara'... says underworld. Or it could be similar to the word 'bar', and we'd be set on one of the 'bars' / crescents of The Map. Not a bar as in get-drunk-and-wasted, mind you. -Ikk
Wrinkledlion X Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Seriously, though. Bara Magna. I can't get over how cool that sounds. Are you guys pronouncing it "bear-uh mag-nuh" or "bar-uh mog-nuh?" I like the second. It sounds so exotic and it rolls well off the tongue.
Bundalings Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) "bar-uh mag-nuh" =P ~Bunda Edit: To the above poster: EPIC FAIL Edited October 30, 2008 by Bundalings
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Yep, the latter -- like Glatorian, imagine it being pronounced by the guy who voiced the 2001 animations... -Ikk
S-N Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 "bar-uh mag-nuh" =P~Bunda Edit: To the above poster: EPIC FAIL Lol it's pretty cool, though I wanted a helicopter...
Tyranide Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Seriously, though. Bara Magna. I can't get over how cool that sounds.Are you guys pronouncing it "bear-uh mag-nuh" or "bar-uh mog-nuh?" I like the second. It sounds so exotic and it rolls well off the tongue. The second variant. It's more accurate for Latin)) WIN O_O Want Jetrax even more. Bike for Antroz... wow. It may be not very BIONICLE-ish, but it's still soooooo cool.
