Another Bionicle contest this time to moc Makuta and they even tease you.
I'll see if I can get an image of it.

Some Makutas JTO Makuta on the left.
I hope the overlord one in the center is released as a set.

That's the ones that I could make out from the trailer that I worked on. There's probably about 10x as many I actually made so it'll be interesting to see if they make the final cut. I made some really fun ones too which people would get a kick out of if they see them.
From what I can tell the only one that it looks like they've changed is the one in the top left which is sort of amalgam of both Schumacher designs, the detailing around the front nose is a bit different from mine.

Now that it's in the trailer it's probably safe to share this, I've been dying to show you guys. It was the first thing I worked on for it. It's something I'd been wanting to do myself anyway so it was good timing. The only downside is I can't put it on LEGO Ideas
Everything I made was done digitally but I had to build this one physically. It's a bit different than the one in the film as I had to change some stuff to make it more stable/strong but I actually think it came out better IRL

Is that a boat in the lower right corner? Any chances we could see other pics of that or...all of them?
I thought that one in the bottom left looked familiar...

If I'm not mistaken, they share the same chassis...
That's impressive... Though while they fit perfectly, they're a bit too much out of scale to my taste (that's better if the door is closed).
I'd say that this is one of Lego's best sets ever. It's basically flawless. We're talking things like the spare wheel hanging below the base of the car inside the front, and there being too little leg room in the backseat (then again, this IS a Beetle).
The build is packed with new techniques and there's all kinds of weird builds that end up supporting a piece just so it doesn't move, even though almost everything is built on hinges. Builds are made in all kinds of directions. Even the stickers go on easily enough, unlike the nightmare that was the Camper.
Then there's the fact that you get tons and tons of new parts in azure. I already plan to buy a second one just to get that wonderful selection - I will find a use for most of them and I can't imagine that Bricklink will have them any cheaper, even though this set was slightly more expensive, relatively, than the Camper.
My only worry is that it won't be in production for as long, even though it should be extremely popular (is there a more iconic car?). All that azure can't be easy to keep up, unless suddenly every other line (besides Friends which already does azure quite a lot) gets a healthy dose of it. Even things like brackets and clips and jumpers (1x2 and 2x2) and all kinds of slopes come in this colour.
Buy it. Just buy it. You could wait for a sale (like that ever happens for these kinds of sets) yada yada yada, but then you'd spend more time without this set.
Edit: It is to scale with the Camper. They are virtually the same length, as in real life. The Beetle is just a bit too high, but it looks good either way. Also, the Technic figures fit so well in both that it can't be a coincidence.
All this bat-love....
Obligatory shot of my pride and joy, my custom Burton batmobile. Crap quality.
Hehe that sounds wrong.
