the last chronicler Posted December 24, 2009 What if they're humans in mechanical armor.i.e. Iron man/Power Ranger kinda thing. That's what it sounds like. I just hope we don't get any creep KKII-like faces underneath the masks. Please oh please let there be figs inside those transparent chests. [-TA-] Yeah, I'd be okay with the lame names and Power Ranger thing if there was minifigs inside, then at least we would be inside the realm of Lego, and not in the realm of real life humans, which would come out cheesy.

ShaddowCroc Posted December 24, 2009 Exo-force 2, like I said. It doesn't sound like there's going to be any system in this theme, but it doesn't look like they'll be any creepy heads. Brrr.... I'm not so sure about the creepy heads, look at the head of the blue canister. (I hope against all hope that that's a Glatorian Iron-Man head sticking out, and not something else.*jibblies*) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trionx Posted December 24, 2009 I'm not so sure about the creepy heads, look at the head of the blue canister. (I hope against all hope that that's a Glatorian Iron-Man head sticking out, and not something else.*jibblies*) Looks to me like a green Av-Matoran head.

The Crazy One Posted December 24, 2009 I can understand them being humans. They do look like they are wearing helmet and the silver guy looks like something out of Halo! The names don't bother me. Use your imagination. Make your own names. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vezon Posted December 24, 2009 (edited) I was checking youtube, and I found a commercial for the Stars ( )A random note is that in the CG part, Tahu's sword hilt is Mata red. Edited December 24, 2009 by Vezon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShaddowCroc Posted December 24, 2009 Holy shit, that commercial is awesome! It has crazy nostalgia and makes the sets look almost too good. Not to mention the CG battle between Tahu and Nektann being pure win. I hope we get a lot of CG stuff this year like we did in '08. It'd be a fitting way to end the saga.

Zaktan of the Shadows Posted December 24, 2009 (edited) Holy... that made the Stars look uber-amazing. The music was nice, the CG was, and the sense of nostalgia is something I haven't seen since 2002. Especially since that temple looks like the Kini Nui. -ZotS Edited December 24, 2009 by Zaktan of the Shadows Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mesonak Posted December 24, 2009 Holy crap, that's an awesome commercial. Tahu Vs. Nektann was pure win, and the Kini-Nui Esque temple gave me a rush of nostalgia. Can't wait for the "Bionicle Battle Videos." :) -Mesonak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickthing Posted December 24, 2009 I do like that commercial. I was hoping for CG GS Robots in it, but the Kini-Nui pyramid, mini-fight and golden armor was just as good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erebus Posted December 24, 2009 Lol, instead of six Toa, one destiny, it's six gold pieces, one Toa. Yes, the structure brought back memories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kuzc050 Posted December 24, 2009 Did anyone notice a difference in the appearance of the Hero canisters? From 2001 all the bionicle canister sets had a picture of the set and it showed the whole body. On the Hero canisters you have a more focused picure. P.S. Commercial was pure nostalgic win!

80 Dollar Posted December 24, 2009 It made me shiver a bit when they said ancient heroes and Gresh was in the picture but except for that it was really good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trionx Posted December 24, 2009 It made me shiver a bit when they said ancient heroes and Gresh was in the picture but except for that it was really good. It's a lot easier then saying "two ancient heroes and one new hero" Can we stop criticizing every little detail that LEGO messes up? It's not like they're actually referring to Gresh as an "old" hero in the story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S-N Posted December 24, 2009 It made me shiver a bit when they said ancient heroes and Gresh was in the picture but except for that it was really good. Technically, Gresh is older than Tahu and Taknuva, so it makes sense. =P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShaddowCroc Posted December 24, 2009 Technically, Gresh is older than Tahu and Taknuva, so it makes sense. =P Well, he might not be. Gresh wasn't alive during the Core War, about 100,00 years ago, and the Mata were created before Mata Nui awoke 100,000 years ago. He might be older than Takua/Takanuva though . . .

Brickthing Posted December 25, 2009 Gresh was alive during the Core War, just too young to fight in it. Unless Glatorian mature incredibly slowly he wouldn't have been very old then, which could mean that both Tahu and Takanuva (Av-Matoran were made first) are older than him. Either way though, they're all very old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chef Hatchet Posted December 25, 2009 (edited) It'll be hysterical if this new line uses Inika bodies frequently. I have yet to get any of the Stars, since Wal-Mart and Target have yet to receive them. Lack of giant set for the last of BIONICLE is really a shame.. I'd spend $90 for a giant Mata Nui robot set. That'd be a good way to close off the line. Also.. What ever happened with that supposed "Gift" with TLR that was a mail-in deal? Did anyone ever get one? I haven't so far.
