I've been having them for years. Hell, I've even had "Find older Bionicle sets in collector shops" dreams.
Well, my BrickLink order is shipped! And I managed to get a slight refund on the shipping as the seller miscalculated the cost of it.
Oh, that's disappointing...the protectors don't even get individual bios. Ah well, to the headcanons! Also, as an aside, the Masters are indeed called Toa. Commence the squeeing.
I had a dream once I got a large tub of Metru blue pieces, including each one of the Toa Metru masks in blue. Needless to say I was VERY disappointed when I woke up.
And suddenly biological reproduction exists in G2. I'm fine with it, though it creates an excuse for those deluded "fans" to create transgender bonkles... *rolls eyes* Anyway, this might mean Ekimu and Makuta are actual, literal brothers. And I just bought a clear Hau. 59 Euro (roughly 71 USD). I feel a bit dirty, but also very excited.
I know right! What I want to know is if there are just the six proctectors or more of then in the villages. All signs seem to point that it's just the six left and that they hold the title "Protector of -" Higher then a name. So these are basically the Turaga, I even remember seeing some concept art with the Fire Protector in a temple with a badass cloak! I think the other "Protectors" might have evacuated.
There's also some one-page comics on the character pages that show the Toa getting the gold masks. I'm hoping it's just something they're putting in the booklets and not representative of what actually happens. Because if it is, Spoiler the Toa are each going to save their respective Mask Protector, who give up their weapon bonus weapon in thanks.
Yeah, those are in the instruction manuals and shortened versions are on the back of the boxes. We will get actualy Animated shorts describing what happens. Also a leaked listing showe a TV and Game Controller Icon. EDIT: Also, seeing the art from before as it seems much more happens,those comics are just for selling the product by showing off it's abilities.
