Back From Raleigh

Hey guys,

 

Just back from a short trip to Raleigh, NC for a story meeting. Most of the team was over there for 2008 focus groups, so the franchise manager kindly carved out some time in the schedule for me to meet with them (possibly saving me a trip to Denmark next month).

 

A few news items:

 

-- I saw for the first time all the proposed canister figures for 2008. There were 16 figures on display, of which 12 will be chosen to be sold. They looked quite different from the prototypes I had seen and apparently have gone over well in the groups.

 

-- The meeting was on BIONICLE 2009 and beyond -- so if you see someone on here spreading rumors that BIONICLE is ending in 2008, don't believe them. The story is CHANGING in 2009 in a lot of ways, but not ending. It was a very productive three hours, we got a ton done, and I came home with a few new projects I have to work on for the team. Extra work, but not complaining -- it's stuff I volunteered for to help advance BIONICLE.

 

The first meeting at which ideas are presented to corporate will be in mid-May, so that is when the franchise manager will discuss with the big bosses what we decided yesterday. Hopefully, they will like the ideas and we will be given the green light to proceed with story material.

Well I guess that's good. I can't wait to see 2008's figures, but then again, I can because I haven't even seen all of the 2007 characters :P .

 

For your sake, I do hope that you were saved from a trip to Denmark, it sounds like it would be a stress in life that you wouldn't need.

 

Changing? I know you can't answer it (so this is a rhetorical question), but how? Is Mata Nui gonna awaken...? The reasons I recall you saying that Bionicle would change a lot was if either

 

1) It wasn't making enough money (causing it to go in a radical new direction

2) Mata Nui awakens...

 

Oh well, I'll find out in 2009, won't I?

 

I seriously hope that the feedback with the story goes well, because I'd hate to not see the comic anymore.

 

Thanks for the update Greg :D .

 

- :t::l::h:

I completely agree.

Can't wait to see 'm!

 

Off-Topic: Wait a minute... if it says in LEGO magazine the Mahri are in next issue, which is in July, thats mean the Mahri are not coming out in August, they are coming out in JULY!

what bugs me is the titan prototypes always Kick SO MUCH (well you know,) and then they get changed too much

Like Keetongu (WAY cooler as a proto) and Kikanalo (Also much better)

I hope the canister sets are as good as you say because so far Bionicle has been going up from 06 and I hope it will keep doing so (hey, maybe more Black and lees Brown and Green sets, ya know XD)
