The MOC card reads: "Because BIONICLE is as LEGO as Lincoln Logs."

 

Story time!

 

So, during the evening ceremonies at Brickfair Saturday, they gave away door prizes. One of them was Tuma. When the box image popped up on the screen, we, your lovely and illustrious BZPower staff, cheered, clapped, and generally made sure it was known we love BIONICLE. Todd Webb, the amazing and gracious host of Brickfair, replied quickly with "That's about as LEGO as Lincoln Logs." Because AFOLs hate BIONICLE, you see. We are the red-headed step-child of the AFOL community. Also, Todd Webb is hilarious and a great guy. Well, we laughed, as we are often found to do, because hey, we can take a joke, you know? We're a good-natured lot, us BIONICLE Brickfair folks. From there we devised this scheme, the fruits of which you can see in the photo. We bought Lincoln Logs, Six and Ray made a cabin from them (and check that sexy no-logs-on-top action below the roof!), and we quickly set it up on the BIONICLE table. It was a hit, and everyone who saw it commended us on being able to not only roll with the punches, but hilariously mock both our own theme, and the rabid AFOL fanbase who seriously believes BIONICLE belongs elsewhere.

 

We were totally the rebellious upstart theme.

 

We were totally awesome.

And that, my friends, is why Bionicle is still an excellent theme. The fans alone make it awesome. Skipping storyline and sets for a second, the fact that its fans are willing to take an insult and reverse it on them.

 

Next year, you should build a whole fortress with Toa surrounding it, fighting the evil logs. There can be only one! -Swert

We should have have the camera rolling during the Lego Universe conference. We were pretty awesomely obnoxious there. : P

And I think we gave Trains quite a surprise too!

 

Ah, geeze, the things I miss for leaving early.

 

Awesome job, guys! Such a great turnaround. Oh how amazing are we.

Now, the question is, how LEGO are Tinkertoys? Or Erector Sets? K'nex?

 

This is something that I'll have to ponder for a while.

K'nex owns Lincoln Logs, so I guess they're the same.

If by obnoxious you mean we gave legitimate ideas and feedback that Jim appreciated, sure. :D

 

LNOT is the new SNOT.

You bet it is.

 

I look forward to making more Lincoln Logs creations. ;)
