Where were these found? Anyway, they are some of the most preliminary set pictures I've seen in my life (most of them, at least). Actually I'm pretty sure the pictures from the stand were more finalized. Though I suspect the Ignika is just a placeholder, it still raises questions. I'm not sure how I feel about the skull spiders looking so much like skulls but we'll see. I bet the Toa will be able to wear them. Anyway, Kopaka looks really badass. Hope they fix those legs, though. -Gata

Ironically, that would have worked much better with the CCBS and instead that was introduced with 100% mechanical beings. -Gata

Mark my words. It may not be next year yet, but LEGO Blub is coming...and things will never be the same. -Gata
-
I do think it always did that, though, so that doesn't have to mean anything (not that at this point we needed the confirmation from that anyway). Interestingly, lego.com/supercar redirects to the products page as well while another random string like lego.com/blub doesn't. -Gata

Personally, I think this hints at a BIONICLE teaser site being revealed after or at the same time as a reveal at NYCC (assuming of course the NYCC reveal is indeed about BIONICLE) - which would probably explain why there don't seem to be the corresponding images for other new themes for next year, as those wouldn't get such site so early. -Gata

Ah, I see. Good thinking. I guess finding the animation was actually more valuable than I thought. -Gata
-
Nice! How did you get that? Were you able to extract the different layers of the picture with Photoshop? Also, Sir Kohran, please don't misunderstand me, I really understand your concerns and it's noble that you worry so much about LEGO, but I really think this isn't doing them any harm - if I did, I wouldn't have posted it. -Gata

I didn't enter LEGO's server any more than any random visitor. No hacking or anything of the sorts involved, just educated guessing of the address. The image is an official image from LEGO on their servers, so it's allowed on BZPower - as Black Six has confirmed. -Gata
-
So your issue is that I posted it on BZPower? I'm a Reporter on BZPower, I've been on that site for over nine years and it's still a special website for me. You can be sure that if I find something like this that, on top of that, actually complies with our guidelines and is consequently suitable for our website, BZPower is definitely going to be the first site to benefit from it. Anyway, no offense, but please leave the decision whether it's okay for the BZPower main page to the BZPower staff, that I'm a member of. If our administrator has a problem with it, you can be sure he'll tell me and I would bear any consequences it would possibly have, so don't worry about that. -Gata

Many things point at that happening at Comic Con in a month. A teaser website is probably going to be released at that point anyway. I think you're making a far bigger deal of this than it is. If any harm was ever done to LEGO, the picture of the stand did far more than this. I dare say this actually benefits LEGO. It confirms what we all basically know and shows enough to keep people excited and discussing but not enough for any competitor to rip off LEGO's products ahead of time. Of course I can just keep this to myself next time, if that's what you prefer? -Gata

What if they actually wanted us to find it? You don't know. ;) And it's not the same as entering someone's home as I'd have to bypass security systems for that and that is certainly illegal. There were no security systems here. Not to mention that I don't think you can compare a person's privacy to a small picture teasing an upcoming product everyone knows is coming anyway. As I said, if LEGO asks us to remove the picture, we'll respect their wishes. -Gata
-
It's an official image on LEGO's servers so I didn't/don't see a problem with it, even more so considering that LEGO's main motive for not wanting leaks to get out is not to give competitors time to rip off their products and there isn't really too much to rip off here as it's just a single mask. If LEGO asks us to remove it, we'll do so but until then, I thought this was too good to pass. -Gata
-
What do you mean? -Gata
-
The news is up. It's less than we've seen so far, but the first clear and official image that is actually from LEGO.com, so it's completely legit. -Gata
-
Stay tuned to the BZPower front page today for an announcement guys. BIONICLE 2015 is confirmed without a doubt. I'm totally serious about this. -Gata
-
I thought we were talking about yearly sales, not overall sales summed up over all years of the theme's run. In that case, you are probably right. -Gata
-
I'm pretty sure Ninjago and even Legends of Chima have sold better than BIONICLE did. It's just that BIONICLE's impact on overall sales was greater back then. -Gata
-
Onua may be smaller but he seems to have more bulk than the others AND golden armor, so I assume he is in the larger price point along with Tahu and Kopaka. -Gata
-
Ninjago got a massive amount of promotion, including a 40-minute movie, a song, a graphic novel and a handheld video game all in its first year. The success led to a 13-episode TV series in the second year, the first of its kind for LEGO. As far as I know, Ninjago was LEGO's most succesful product launch in the entire company history. Ninjago has been hyped more than BIONICLE ever has in its target audience. -Gata
-
As far as I recall, only Kopaka regained enough memories to remember them entering the Toa canisters but not much more than that. Or he did remember everything but the other Toa didn't. -Gata
-
I'm fine with them being called Masters in the packaging but please let them still be called Toa in the story. That's not even a complicated name. -Gata
-
I do hope they will be called Toa in the story... -Gata
-
That video was only like four minutes long... -Gata
-
When did they ever try to sell trans-lime as yellow? Now that you mention that, though, I'd like it if BIONICLE had a greater variety of eye colours than in the late days. Also, I'd be happy to see seperate pieces for the head and the eyes again. -Gata

I wanted to answer to TwistLaw's post but then I had to go someplace and it slipped my mind. Thank you, DV. I don't get why BZPower gets so much hate from some people. And unlike what you said, TwistLaw, people in our community are just as well aware that the images are most likely real, so that's not what people are discussing there. The difference is that our site respects LEGO's wishes and Eurobricks doesn't, but that's not our fault. As to your question, my answer is no. No idea if BZPower will return to its old levels of activity (I suppose not), but I can assure you BZPower will play a more important role in the fanbase once again starting next year. Already now activity has greatly increased and many new members are joining at the sole chance of BIONICLE returning and it's not even been confimed yet. -Gata
