Things I’m worried about:
1.)Umarak being neon green (prepared for it though)
2.)Larry having a weapon instead of his bare bloody hands (although vague and unlikely
That’s pretty much it, they are the top priorities on my list and either one of these remarks would make the sets a little less enjoyable.
uh… eljay, what happened here?
I honestly think think accessory storm beast will have is just the kopaka mask
I hope so, but I’m already too worried to go back. I’d rather start preparing myself for the worst than be caught off guard heh…
But yeah, I think they meant the Kopaka mask, which if I may add, looks Awesome!
Before I fall asleep, I’d like to point out something from the TJTO video…
Yep, it’s the original 2015-styled MOCO. I hope this doesn’t mean that the MOCO will look this way in the rest of the show, or it’ll be really distracting. 
Looking at that just makes me even less happy with the actual Mask of Control we got. Sigh, welp, at least UTD has a better version of it imo.
No clue.
But you haven’t seen a gosh dang thing.
The fact that the statue uses his 2015 mask is a bit weird, especially since it will probably appear as it does in the Umarak set when we see it later on in the show. Perhaps it can change forms? Who knows at this point, I sure as heck don’t.
I’m whatever, though I did say £9.99, but conversation over then.
Now what did I miss, anything important?
Is.anyone else worried that this year’s summer wave appears to have a lower budget, or do you think it’s because they’ve scaled down prices in the smaller sets?
@Eljay I read that, yes proper grammar (can I correct people again then? 
)
Summer 2015: £76.95
Summer 2016: £57.95
Quite a big difference, though I feel like it mostly comes down to £12.99 being £9.99 now.
Ok I won’t ask again, sir
Literally a few posts up. Come on now. And these price points are nearly exactly those of last years summer wave.
Well… I did say nearly. =P
That’s why I put it down to prices dropping slightly
@AdamusTheFirst that has been mentioned I’m afraid
Has anyone else noticed that with the leak of Ekimu the Mask Maker, He’s got his left foot on top of a (what appears to to be) completely gunmetal/black Umarak the Hunter mask? Or has this already been mentioned?
Already mentioned. Buy that doesn’t make it any less interesting. I’m still not sold it’s a hunter mask though.
The Lava Beast is armed with a pair of double-bladed flame swords. These look as though they could be reconfigured into a surfboard or skis but no such feature was demonstrated
what? what’s going on with the beasts?
I don’t know if this was already known but Merlin Mann just told me on Twitter that he isn’t involved with JT1. I find this quite disappointing, as I enjoyed his work on the animations.
Looks like he was trying to compensate for, uhm, some unnamed colleague of his 
Though maybe he’s going just a little too far with this observation thing…
Aw, that’s too bad 
Who’s gonna give us g1 easter eggs now?
That got me a little upset back when I first saw that episode >:C
It sort of makes sense, though, I mean, you see a green guy in a jungle, what do you assume his element is?
jjjuuungle…? Close enough, I guess
I’m still bummed that they mentioned Lewa being “master of air” as a joke…
I love air as an element. Jungle (as opposed to plants/nature, or air) feels… wrong to me.
I’m happy with G2 being its own thing.
Wait, what? Where’d you read that?
If true, I’m most pleased.
So in G2 so far;
Skull Grinder; Trans-Orange
Umarak The Hunter; Trans-Green
Umarak the Destroyer; Trans-Yellow
Ekimu The Mask Maker; Trans-Blue
By my count that leaves Trans-Purple and Trans-light blue (or white) in terms of future main character sets dominated by a trans-colour.
Makuta will probably include the Trans-Purple, though the character to represent a trans-light blue or white I’m unsure of. Maybe a G2 version of Takanuva?
This may be our first experience of the Toa brutally murdering a helpless enemy… interesting.
Technically they owned the copyright during the time it was cancelled, so this makes sense, despite being inaccurate to when the line was mainly active.
To be honest, something was bound to drop around the London Toy Fair or the Nuremberg Toy Fair. It is not particularly a trailer and more a character teaser, but i suppose that’s looking into things more.
The first reporter got every aspect incorrect. Calling that good is a massive stretch of the word
The second reporter just stated what we have seen on leaks and the late coverage makes me question whether they actually paid attention or simply wrote what they saw in the leaks. Other than the ability to open/close the beast mouths and the confirmation on Umarak’s height, everything else is just relaying what we’ve seen in the leaks…
As i speculate above, I’m suspecting this was a rushed together report on the leaks after the backlash of the terrible coverage of Bionicle in the first report.
Elemental creatures… chances are when the elemental creatures are found/brought to the city they bring life to it. Either that or the second year of G2 takes place quite a while after the events of the first year.
Chances are that the sheer number of traps would hopefully be enough to capture the creatures. Its also possible that Umarak is a terrible hunter explaining why he has been unable to capture the creatures in the many hundreds/thousands of years it has been since his and the creatures creation.
Kind of looks like he has broken his neck given he’s both trying to look up and forward at the same time. Guess they are trying to be accurate to his toy though, in that you’d need to pose bizarrely to avoid clashing with the shoulder armour.
The eyes are drooped given the impression of sadness, boredom or simply old age. Rather than being like a mask it appears that his mouth is actually a beak built into his face. He honestly reminds me of this.
Would look better with a large arm instead of a club.
The styles are good, but the three styles don’t mesh well together.
Place where Ikir is stored/captured/guards
Interested to see it when done :3
This is pretty much what i am expecting. Maybe with a twist where it ends after Umarak gets the Mask Of Control and the Toa make a vow to stop him. Then we could see an episode or two in summer (or possibly a movie) having them fight and defeat Umarak The Destroyer.
Though at the moment i am just thinking we’ll get the Netflix series of four episodes and that will be it for the story, especially after comments about simplifying it more.
Maybe this will mean we’ll get the original version with Makuta in 2017 (then a later set with him having the MoUP?) I hope so anyway… i like that mask better than the 2016 version.
Perhaps the Toa and Ekimu use it as a base (or rendezvous point in this case because all the toa seem to have separated again)
