New sets discussion (2014/15/16/17)

Also good god they're finally doing a new tan AAT.

But is it going to be tan?

The set list has it under the OT/PT category, and I don't remember seeing any AATs in episodes 2 or 3. My assumption is that it will be tan . It also makes sense with the fact that they had a tan one in the microfighters, and also in last year's advent calendar (I think?).

Is there anyone in the Bionicle age group who was even alive when these characters were around?

Probably not for the current "appropriate" age group: it will have the element of being a 'new' theme for them, while the actual bonkle fandom of TFOL/AFOL/whatever hideous shapeless mass that group with awful opinions has bloated into will probably pop some nostalgia boners. It's a pretty smart way to double-dip both ends of the spectrum, gotta hand it to them.

Yep, you can count me in the shapeless masses of Bionicle fans eager for the return! Can't resist getting revamped original Toa again!

I especially like how "Fire Suitcase" is marketed as a juniors set. Flaming suitcases: for kids!

'Keeps your kids' lunch warm!'

2015 star wars sets have been leaked on /toy/:

Check em while you can, as it is likely for them to go 404 in a few days.

Gotta say I'm not a SW fan, but I love the trooper packs. Mind you these are prelim images, so some items and figs are placeholders.

Also the flipping brown ninja gets his polybag:

I am going to get SO many Tanks...

I'm still holding out hope for a new Castle Line with something other than Lions and Dragon sigils - and maybe some colours we haven't had that much before. One reason I still like Fright Knights so much is because of the sigil and the distinctive style, even if the set design wasn't always the best.

What are you talking about? That set looks fucking badass.

I've always been a fan of the Forestmen because their symbol is a Deer. Nothing scary like a bat or a lion or a dragon or a bull. A fucking deer.


Fear the Deer.

From a set design standpoint it's kind of a trainwreck, let's not sugarcoat it. Unless you have a thing for BURPs/LURPs, there's very little good about it apart from the minifigs.

Sure, the design is simple, but the set has all kinds of character and badassery, so I love it.

These are prelim but kinda finalized images. They look alright and serve their nostalgia-bait purpose perfectly.

Hmm. Might pick up one or two of them. Hope they will change Gali's mask, though.

Those skully spiders look pretty cool. Though, the only masks I recognize are Tahu's, Kopaka's, and Pohatu's.

[stubby]

"Cool," but... I thought the Chima bears were on the good guy team?



It's weird if the first appearance of actual bears in playsets are badguys instead.

[Zupponn]

Kopaka! That's that fucker's name. He was one chill dude.
