I'm jumping the gun here, which is why the topic says <no pictures yet> at the top. I'm setting the topic up here now so I don't have to create it with my phone when I start patching the pictures through to here. The other staff will be assisting in the process of deep linking the first batch of images being uploaded so we can view them asap. The first batch will be lower resolution for the sake of uploading faster and fitting the pages, later there will be higher resolution pictures added with far better quality. Ive chosen a Brickshelf profile with no MoD names or stuff on it so the folders can be linked to on BZP without breaking the no-linking-to-other-forums-rule, so the links will be safe to pass and discuss over there too, and everyone has my permission to generally pass around these images once their uploaded. Pay no mind to the testing folder, thats me experimenting with the uploading stuff. ToyFair Preview Folderwww.maj.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=168449Remember, once I have the toyfair pics going and remove the <no pictures yet> thing from the tittle, all summer set pictures and etc are fair game. EDIT: Ok, here are the pictures now: Canister Sets:Bitil: Gorast: Krika: Tahu: Gali: Onua: Large Sets:Vultraz: Axalara T9:

Theyve got tranformers sets coming out (up yers megabloks hehe j/k) ? Sure thing if I see them. Ill get the Batman stuff too Predator. Bionicle will be the priority, but Ill see if I can sneak a few requests in.
As I said the first batch will be lower quality, then once I have time to set up Ill be barrowing my fathers laptop with wireless internet to upload the higher quality ones. And this year I wont be stiffed on battery power before I can get everything, Ive got a Sony 7.2 megapixel camera with macro and runs on double AA batteries. Ive got three pairs of recharchable batteries and if those dont work, a 48 pack of disposable AA's. On top of that Ive got a 4 gig memory card and a 40 gig self powered photobank to back up those pics with, and clear the memory card out for another 4 gigs. Moowahahaha.
In short unless I manage to overheat my camera or something Ill have plenty of suplies to cover the entire line.

Hey everyone, im in the car right now on the web enabled phone, and its about three hours until the event. There seems to be some slight confusion,This is the LEGO product preview Im going to a day before the actual toyfair, so this whole event im going to is all a LEGO group gathering so I won't be able to sneak off to look at other displays. I thought you ment actual transformers lego set.

I'm sorry, but those are some awful sets Lego. Why does Gali look dead? That red thing isn't Tahu. Onua looks mildly good. Krika is basically a white Vamprah, except Vamprah was good. Gorast is bad. Bitil is bad. Thanks Lego. I trust you got pics of the other sets Immy. You know - the decent ones? The big Vehicles <~Vash~>

Remember how they keep saying "the final battle", and how greg is saying bionicle will end when we stop buying sets... I think thats why they jacked the prices, making suck expensive and crappy looking sets. They want Bionicle to end. >> im still getting all the sets... The bigger sets are gonna be last >> cept Takanuva... I want him big time One question, do the Makuta wear Kanohi? or are they kinda like the Barraki faces?

they may not be makuta. These are being refered to as mistaka, like how the guys now are phantoka. They have air pump weapons refered to as ghost blasters. Switching to the pc now

I think he's saying the set names are Mistika, sort of like how the Makuta we've already seen still had the "Phantoka" logo.
Overall, I'll probably still get these. The new freaks seem to have some interesting parts, and the toa are going to have enough bits worth getting *loves Onua's mask and Gali's armor bits*
....is it just me, or does Vultraz' vehicle have like...a really big barrel for sphere launching? :3
Bear in mind also that toyfair pics sometimes change from the actual sets in terms of aesthetics. *memories of Gadunka's green teeth with peeling silver*

Gadunkas teeth were prototypes, they had to spraypaint ehlek spines for those. Anyway, Im trying to get better quality pics up now, their being slow. These creatures could be makuta species but I dont know for sure, since for one they are all part of the mistaka collection from what i understood, and the villains are a whole other stle, they look like tropical bugs and their weapons are these rather effective air preassure guns. You know the giant mars tube set with the missile launcher and foam darts? Think portable air cannon with rubber darts. They are calling these new projectiles Nynrah Ghost Blasters. they look iffy but Ill tke hem over the squid hands down. It even apears the air squeeze thing has to be attached too which I like.
Now the air vehicles, Vultraz the one with the long tube, it sorta has a hallow space. Its got a midak mounted underneath so that hallow space wouldnt be a giant ammo clip. Would be nice to see a revamp thats lie that though.
The Jetraz is piloted by a kind of antroz figure, while the green one is listed as having a special edition Pohatu. Axalara is piloted by Lewa. None of them seem to be the same as their cannister versions.
Keep asking questions, ill do my best to answer
EDIT: More stuff.
Mistaka
Six Mistaka to collect, each sold separately. Heroes and villains are launched simultaneously to provide immediate god vs. evil role play. All include a nynrah ghost blaster.attach the mistaka to their matoran counterparts to increase their abilities in the Battle for Power.
12.99 usd
Vultraz
Mounted on an ultra-fast skyfighter, the evil vultraz fires devastating bolts of shadow from his front-mounted midak skyblaster. Can the Toa Nuva survive his sudden strikes, or will he bring their plans to a crashing halt?
19.99 usd
Takanuva
Partially drained of light by a shadow leech, Takanuva struggles to hold off the corruption eating away at him. Armed with a Midak skyblaster and a giant 3-pronged power lance,this mighty power of light is a match for any foe.
29.99
Rockoh T3
Packed with power, the Rockoh T3 can trap enemy ships in an energy field or ram them out of the sky. Fold out wings for flight, or fold them in to power dive. Includes special edition Pohatu Nuva figure.
39.99 usd
Jetrax T6
Antroz has hijacked the Jetraz T6 and now flies it against the Toa Nuva. Open the cockpit to put him inside, then launch your attach with three powerful Midak skyblasters.
49.99 usd
Axalara T9
Lewa Nuva is ready for battle with this massively powerful battle craft. With dual Midak skyblasters and tri-arms featuring lasers and force field capacitors, its mission is to smash the Brotherhood of Makuta while there is still time to save the universe.

!!! So it is Antroz, Lewa and Pohatu (I didnt expect Antroz)... I figured Rockoh, Jetrax and Azalara were the beings names... That explains their Masks (at least Lewa and Pohatu's). Still nothing of Mazeka/Mageka/w.e? "attach the mistaka to their matoran counterparts to increase their abilities in the Battle for Power." There will be more Matoran? Or do they come with the set O.o looking in ur maj gallery, Gali's mask looks like a Piraka head w/ a telescope thingy like the Akaku. Lewa looks the same, except the feet and mask. Antroz's new mask looks awsome. Onua's mask looks soooooo much like the Kraahkan! Bitil looks like hes got a new type of head. Krika looks like they are gonna be the female makuta. Mask and name.

Also, not sure if is a new head type or what since each of them looked so different. They don't look like they attach barraki head style. I've still got a bunch of pics to upload but maj is being aggrivating which doesn't help when the pics take so long to upload in the first place. Ill have more up as soon as I can.

The large sets look awesome. And Onua, and Krika are also decent... But what on earth was Lego thinking when they designed the others? Gali is probably the most masculine looking set -ever-(BLAST IT LEGO WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO HER?!), Tahu's face looks like a train, as predicted, and the other Makuta look like... bugs. Someone please awake me from this horrid nightmare... This is a nightmare, right? Oh well, at least the larger sets, Onua, Krika, and the weapons are decent... -Gakurahk

There are some LEGO Batman in there, I just havant gotten them uploaded. And despite what BZPower has posted I have to protest that to the best of my understanding MoD was the first site to have legitamate 08 pictures from toyfair uploaded and linked to the site, seeing as I posted the first low resolution batch with the first half hour of the event. I could be wrong but Im certain the measures I took had the six toa/makuta characters uploaded before any other site had the opportunity.

I like how Gorast is designed, but Krika looks rather diseased.
