That has been speculated, though given the designs of the animals on the 'month of...' seem very non-ccbs (Some looking organic) it would be difficult for Lego to transition those into set form. With this sort of situation its normally best waiting till they actually post something. There are a lot of occasions where someone says they will have information and then never follow-through and given the anonymous nature of 4chan its likely the same has happened here. So, thanks for informing, but nothing to really discuss unless they follow-through and even then we would'nt have proof unless the provided pics which seems unlikely.

Numbers seem odd; 40168 Deleted BIONICLE Booster Pack 5002941 BIONICLE Hero Pack 5002942 BIONICLE Villain Pack Wondering if 'Deleted' means we wont be getting it, or if it was removed recently along with the other potential summer stuff. Ever encountered 'Deleted' before?

The closest we'll probably get to that is going to be the Kopaka and Melum unity set - especially if they have a combined form...

Probably going to be picking up a Vader or two - Grievous seems like a good set but too many CCBS bones for me so probably wont get duplicates. Might end up combining him with a spare Vader to fix the gaps in his chest.

As others have said, seems more likely that Kopaka and Melum will probably be in the Winter Wave with the other Toa and Creatures. If he's a popular Toa they'd likely want to advertise him alongside the rest of the Toa, not push him back to a spring or summer release. He was also found shortly after the Amazon Winter name leak - which implies he will have a release occuring fairly soon - either directly with the Winter Wave or slightly after, but definitely around the Winter Wave of release. Grievous seems mostly CCBS to me, lots of CCBS bones. Vader is more along the lines of a mix of technic and CCBS. Though chances are if we get a Bionicle titan set it would indeed be more like Grievous to limit the piece count.

I'm guessing the set wont be released until around mid-late November. The reason behind this is that the Lego Dimensions Doctor Who Pack has a release date of November 3rd and they would probably try and release Doctor Who sets after that so people jump at the chance to get the Doctor Who Pack. In addition to this it would also be nearing the final few episodes of Doctor Who series 9, meaning the fan base will be the most active. As for a reveal, my gut says they would wait until October to avoid the hype of the TFA sets. However, a reveal on the 19th Sepetmeber to coincide with the start of series 9 could also be something i could see them doing. Though just theorising.

Ah ok, makes sense. Was just wondering as it looked real and a few people were asking if it was

So apparently the guy who won the Gold Lewa Mask decided to give it to a friend and that friend decided to Ebay it sometime earlier today Not sure who won the mask so cant confirm this, can anyone confirm that it was the real thing?

Wondering if the piece was perhaps designed to suite both Bionicle and Star Wars in that way, it does seem to be a little reminiscent of the Nuva shoulder armour and with a good print design it could look pretty similar... Wonder if some of the Toa will incorporate the shin guards, i think they could work well with a new version of Gali and Lewa. Printed shoulder pad pieces could open up a world of MOC'ing possibilities. so hope they go with that route. I think the intention is to get the parts out there as much as possible - might aswell make the most of a new mould i suppose. We'll probably end up seeing the piece re-used for atleast some of the Winter Wave G2 Bionicle sets, maybe even Nexo Knights if that has constraction sets. With printed pieces i suppose its also easier making one design for a set and just using that design over and over for that set, though i agree it looks a little lazy to have the same printed piece multiple times on a set.

Personally i think the worst thing they could do would probably be to have Ekimu defeat Skull Grinder by knocking his mask off - given this would be re-doing exactly what happened with Makuta. A 'Hammer Flush' match doesnt seem as bad in comparison to that, could even be a fun animation watching Ekimu defeat the Skull Villains by running and dodging around an arena while the Skull villains try to attack him getting caught in traps along the way until its just Ekimu racing Skull Grinder to the Mask Of Creation.

Any pictorial examples I think thats the main thing we need with a new foot design, to be the perfect CCBS foot piece it needs to be easily updatable with balljoints and sockets so you can add armour attachments or pieces to it to vary it. The current feet pieces have very little attachments so they seem basic in comparison.

As you've just shown if i was referring to them recently i would have specified it was them, as i did back then. I do understand how you got to that assumption now though - though trust me it was not referring to any site in particular and it was not intended to be taken as a continuation of a conversation from several months ago that existed in a different topic. Personally trying to avoid bringing up the past, specifically concerning events that occured in other topics - no point dragging up old wounds. As with the rest of my comment it was just a commentary on the nature of leaks and how the community reacts to them as i've said a few times now. Either way, we should be talking about 2016 stuff. Maybe we'll get her in set form at some stage. Depending on the version would require a new cloak though Yeah, new feet would be cool. Though not sure what style would be best for an upgrade, the current one's work mostly because they are simplistic and kind of dont attract too much attention. Though i would like new feet for the villains and maybe some new feet for the creatures. Which version though? :)

So given the sets have been released in certain locations, anyone have the instructions for Vader's body. Interested in seeing how much technic is actually included and how he's made.

I never mentioned the name of any site or the staff that believed the leaks were fake and discredited those who shared them and you both jumped to assume i meant BZPower. I'm not sure why you go so far as to call me a liar for stating a vague comment simply because you jumped to believe it referred to that site. Anyway, to prevent this turning into an arguement - I once again shouldy make it noted that i was referring to the general response to the 2015 leaks which was only natural at the time, as that is how leaks work; skepticism -> distrust -> discrediting -> confirmation on legtimacy (Real or fake). It happens every leak season - its to be expected at this stage. Actually that was a 2016 leak topic which was closed until official image leaks were revealed due to a new user (Now banned) trying to troll people - there is still a 2016 discussion that includes a variety of speculation. Its essentially a combination of a 2016 discussion and a 2016 speculation topic. Would probably need friction adders as otherwise the new Star Wars pieces would restrict movement a bit;

Awesome revamp of Onua, mind doing the rest of the Toa? :3

This ^ As proven by the evolution of the bone pieces, the CCBS system is slowly adapting and changing. I would'nt be suprised if they change the bone pieces more. Then again, it depends what you refer to as the CCBS system - i'm not sure anyone has a definition yet other than the basic idea of a simplified skeletal understructure with armour add-on pieces. CCBS pieces, especially the bones, lose friction rapidly over-time. Barely a year or two later for most my collection of Hero Factory and Chima Ultrabuilds and a majority can barely hold their arms out without it slowly sliding down to the side. Currently not as bad with the G2 sets, though i would'nt be too suprised if the friction weakens overtime similar to HF and Chima. I guess thats why we got a newer form of friction adder. Hopefully they fix it in the future. Noting the new bone pieces may be exempt from this as they are newer designed pieces and seem tighter than the others.

Most often the only way to tell they are real is new pieces - on occasions the images will be released around the same time as a bunch of other leaks that appear for other lines. Other times the source is from an online shop which makes it more likely its a legitimate leak - as shops dont tend to advertise fakes.

Ah ok, thanks for the clarification :) Personally i thought Onua would use his hammer and hit the pillar to make Skull Slicer fall or lose Lewa's mask - given Slicer seems to be associated with the arena and Onua is the only toa with a hammer...

Its an unfortunate aspect of Gen 2 Bionicle that unless one takes chances then we wont actually get anywhere. People wont share descriptions because they'll be too worried about them being fake. Leaked images would be discarded because someone will think they are a lie. Its also an unfortunate fact that those sharing leaks will be discredited and disrespected for sharing them should any of them turn out to be fake or have little to support them at the time. Even the original 2015 leaked images were discarded by many as being fake - several official sites and staff of those sites claimed they were not real and discredited those who shared them. It was only because a handful of people trusted that they were actually real that we learned any information about Bionicle's return. It was a leap of faith that paid off. If we were just going to sit here and wait for the confidential image leaks the community would get less and less active while waiting. No need for fans to check Eurobricks for 2016 leaks everyday if the chances of descriptions or more info leaking is minimal. They know they will just be waiting for a confidential leaked image that wil probably not be posted till September and would'nt be allowed to be posted here due to the leak rules on the site Yeah, one of the issues seems to be this year that we have fairly trustworthy and trusting people (Swongo/Vezon) who have confidence in the original sources. Due to this they are more likely to be believed to be telling the truth and due to them being trustworthy, its less likely people will question that the source may be misleading them. In this case; I reposted infromation from a trustworthy friend who had put trust in one of his friends who turned out to be doing it for the luls. Any description leaks require a level of trust, the same way that you trust Twistlaw who trusts the store owner. Without the level of trust the information about Umurak the Hunter being a large black set would be discarded because at the moment the source is word of mouth. Its disheartening, though if this had turned out to be real and was not discussed here, then the community would be even more annoyed than they are currently about another wave of fakes. At the very least these leaks provided a certain level of discussion and speculation rather than us all simply waiting for confidential leaked images and talking about nothing. Waiting for leaked images would have meant no information would have been shared about any of the 2016 stuff, this topic would'nt exists - even the amazon/names list we have at the moment would have been discarded at the time also given the names are no longer on Amazon. They were'nt even on the Lego servers till days/weeks later so we would have missed out on the names if people didnt trust the accuracy of a list that no longer exists. The backgrounds and set design depeneds on what stage the leaks are at - remembering we got the prototype display leak last year with backgrounds on boxes prior to the Kopaka image leak you shared without a background. Depending on at what stage we see the leaks depends how completed and finalized the boxes will look.

Indeed Getting difficult to trust word-of-mouth from people these days, feel i may just wait on the leaked images now and avoid reporting anything else regardless of what information is provided to support it. As Meso stated he's been a long-time fan of TTV and he trusts he wouldn't intentionally spread lies in the community. So just an unfortunate case where a friend was believed by someone trustworthy who decided to share it. Can understand its a friend joking with another friend, but its unfortunate that it means we go back to having nothing to speculate about or discuss other than Twistlaw's information about the colour of Umurak. Anything other than trans-orange would be good with me. Preferably a dark-red as i need more dark-red CCBS pieces for MOC'ing. Could even be Umurak is a vessel for Makuta - so could turn out to be trans-purple CCBS bones and black armour ==== Worth noting, given its now stated as fake is that chances are set's have'nt leaked on the russian site yet, meaning they could do at some stage.

"We mentioned Mata Nui; we were given an acknowledgement but no further information on him in the Nuvaverse." - source I know its been a while, however could you clarify what you/TTV meant by this and in what form it was acknowledged. Wondering if there is any possibility that the creator's masks may have been made by Mata Nui

I'd be fine with that to be honest, its a good piece and if it was included with a set similar to the Storm Trooper then it could be fitted into the set nicely - perhaps even the beginning of Gen 2 Bionicle getting a mixture of CCBS and normal Lego pieces - similar to how some of the Star Wars CCBS sets have normal Lego pieces to cover the back of the legs or to attach the blaster.

If they do combine as many speculated then a combo mask would be something cool to introduce. I'm still unsure about how they plan to fix the idea of each set having atleast 2 masks (Counting the skull spiders) Will they even attempt to try and give us more than one mask with the sets or will they instead have only one mask, but put more effort into that design/colours/whatever I'd guess 2016 sets will experiment a bit more with the idea of varying functions - probably we'll get one hero or villain set with a mechanism different to the normal gearbox (Similar to how Basher had a different mechanism) They'll probably also introduce another function - probably in the form of some new type of launcher - maybe a smaller stud launchr that is used for Tahu's bow?

Thats very contributing to this topic. If we do get this then will probably combine with LoSS - as would be nice to replicate his venom/web shooting

Yeah, at this stage though any of the leaks could be real. This one has a strong source via the leak site and it matched your comments so thought it may have some validity. Its the reason i share them when i can because i dont want a leak to slip away and turn out to be real later and for everyone to go 'why didnt you share that' or something :P Though as i always say, take it with a grain of salt :P Also, cool Thanks for letting me know, didnt realise, been a long time posting. Yay :3
