Notice how the runes on his torso glow?

I can take this one. We understand that not everyone is a native speaker of English, and don’t expect them to be perfect overnight. The Grammar comment is mainly directed at those people who ARE native speakers, who just seem to be making sloppy typos and generally not paying much attention to their posts.

If you have any further questions, feel free to PM me, Eljay, or any of the other staff members. Otherwise, let’s try to stay on topic. :slight_smile:

so, yeah we can still speak with grammar errors, thank god.

also, I think Ekimu is going to have a gearbox and the swivel function, but Im not so sure,

@drumpghball you had to use ekinu instead of Ekimu… I fixed that…

Yes, I thought so too!
His armpit looks pretty filled up or something, like there’s a gearbox somewhere behind there.

Yeah, that’s what held me back on 100% believing that, but it really does look like it!
But hey, maybe they thought of something?
It wasn’t obvious how Tahu’s shoulder armor was actually connected from the prelims, so this might not be what it seems to be either :open_mouth:

Wh wh wh whait hold up. I thought so too, that Ekimooo would have a gearbox to make the set a little worthwhile. However, if that was the case wouldn’t Ekimu’s torso build (exactly like Tahu in his shoulder pads) prevent the gearbox function?
Now I doubt Ekimu will have anything outstanding at all, besides his mask.

the shoulders are not mounted the same way as tahu UoF’s it could be like tahu MoF or Gali MoW

well but he is 15€, so yeah maybe we are wrong

It was in the Brickset report Rex did, or at least it was. They seem to have taken down all their Toyfair articles at the moment.

Yet another MoCo mistake. I think this one was made unintentionally when the team was given the source material for the City of the Mask Makers and the Forge. They must have copied it not knowing that was an outdated design for the MoCo (I wonder if they even knew it was supposed to be the MoCo). The mask itself will probably be shown correctly.

Speaking about UtD’s MoCo… isn’t it completely identical? (Almost) The set seems cool and all but you know, that mask looks like they just tore the “tusks” apart.

The trans light blue Mask Of Creation sounds interesting. We need a trans green Mask Of Control with it.

Oddly enough I think UTD’s one looks more like the actual thing than the one in UTH, but even then still liked the very fisrt original design more. Oh and btw the only notable difference is the mouth" is gone as is now…well an actual part of a mouth with teeth. It also has like bigger ears heh, obviously meant too look like the horns are extended.

I wish this were true. I really do.

I recommend keeping eye on this guy: https://www.youtube.com/user/Atamaiidotcom/videos

Obviously, @bingzakanuva has an uncle who works at lego :wink:

Ah, I was looking for the source of last year’s spooks!
Ta, ta

Are you implying that they could have 2016 SW pictures? (SW I mean summer wave lol)

I’m implying that this guy most likely will upload some photos from Nuremberg soon.

Eh, last year took him a couple of days to upload videos. I expect the first images we’ll see will be via somewhere else, then if he is covering the Lego sets, he’ll probably upload them over the next few days.

I know Toyark was another place that had coverage last year, so maybe they will appear on that site.

I’m also following another few sites currently that said they may have images and will post here if they appear (As long as these don’t count as leaks)

I think a trans-green Mask Of Control would look good. Though not a fan of the trans light blue Mask Of Creation.

It has small spikes at the front and looks compressed a bit on the leaked images. Might not be the same Mask Of Control, looks like a more beast-like warped version.

Is there going to be an imgur gallery or a topic on the ttv message boards that’ll have the toyfair images when they’re ever revealed?

isn’t this topic made for that? 2016 sets?

Apparently they will have images and stuff soon - including a Nexo Knights designer interview;

I did one last year, but it ended up being used by several other sites so giving it a pass this year. Will repost the Bionicle images here if found (And if its acceptable, not sure if they qualify as leaks)

I believe we have a 2016 topic for set images, cant find it from a quick search though.
