Bionicle

Over the years, I feel it's become less fascinating.

 

Back in the day I relied on the promos to tell me when things came out. Heck, I didn't know about the Bohrok until I saw them on a shelf in a toy store. I truly wondered what they did and what they were. From the back of the package it looked like they had two masks even (faceplate and Krana). I didn't know how they worked until I saw a commercial.

 

Even the story held some mystery.

 

Now I'm a member on several BIONICLE sites and I know almost everything, and I know about sets long before they are released. I am also much older, so I'm able to comprehend more.

 

But most of the loss can be attributed to stuff like BS01, BZP, and Brickshelf. Any potential surprises are made publicly viewable for thousands before anyone has a chance to find out.

 

In order to preserve BIONICLE's mystic feel, steps must be taken.

 

It's simple: kill the Batman.

 

 

Wait, no that's not it.

 

In order to preserve the magic, we must destroy the internet.

 

WHO'S WITH ME?!?!? :D

You can't destroy it.

 

NO U

 

I've noticed that since 2005. I kinda' miss the surprise, so I'm all for destroying the internet.

I'd like them to have a Space-themed year soon. The setting would be in space, the heroes would look kinda like astronauts, and the villans could be really-awesome looking aliens or something.

 

But then everyone would be all like "MARS MISSION RIPOFF LOL"

And all Mars Mission is is a ripoff of Life on Mars. :P

Lego, this billion-dollar company, needs to:

 

--get better security. They've got the money, so why is Barney Fife the lone night watchman in charge of guarding their Research and Developement room?

 

--write a memo to the site designers that maybe, MAYBE it might not be a good idea to put pics of your future products up for the whole internet to see on your OWN server! This is especially true when you have an ambassador or employee go writing to websites who post them essentially saying, "OMG, WHAT DID YOUR PEOPLE DO TO OBTAIN THIS FROM US!?!"...

 

--Covertly watermark buyer's catalogs and the like that you distribute, so when, 2 seconds after you give them the images for January's sets in AUGUST, you'll know exactly who the leak is because their copy of the images was a little bit different from the next guy's.

 

Of course, this is all poopoo and will never happen, for it's clear (to me anyways) that despite all their shock and horror routines, THEY do this all on purpose to keep people interested.

It's been going on for years, a couple times a year in fact... so really, do the math. :lol:

It's bittersweet.

Like science.

Knowledge makes things less magical.

But we don't want to give up the knowledge.

Oh no, precious.

FINALLY, SOMEONE ELSE WHO REMEMBERS THOSE! =D

 

Also, no, that kinda has the side effect of being...illogical even for Bionicle and not making sense. How is it they suddenly spring into the point of advancement where they have a mars-capable shuttlecraft, which we don't yet?

 

Better idea that is easier; DESTROY BRICKSHELF. Easier and about as effective. ^^

 

Or, I dunno, don't read the news articles on the front page. I don't, and seeing Kopaka in stores was a joyous surprise to me, especially since I liked his new form, albeit not as much as his old form. This is the only year I've looked at leaked sets because the new Tahu left me broken-hearted. ;)

...Bfahome tried to kill the Brickshelf, but the Brickshelf had its waaayy...

 

Alternatively, you could unlearn to read. That way, spoilers would never reach your ears.

*Agrees with Necro about LoM, JINZO about security, and S~K and Hime about TTGL*

 

 

IN ORDER TO PRESERVE BIONICLE'S MYSTIC FEEL, INTRODUCE "MYSTIC-A"

I hate "The Metal" so very much...

 

And Necro, I remember Life on Mars! I LOVED those sets!
