Inconceivable!Unprecedented!

 

So anyways something Greg said in this topic(fourth page, I think) got me thinking(not going to post my opinions on the topic itself since the basic premise is flawed, but whatever)

 

Is it just me, or does Lego have basically no themes with an original story, not counting(or maybe counting) Bionicle? Nowadays it's just boring stuff like Mars Mission or Power Miners(which are both based on older themes anyway and aren't interesting story-wise)

 

I remember back when themes had stories, by which I mean stories with dialog.

 

Lego ought to stop producing Bionicle, make an original IP with the same level of story. Because let's face it, the story has degraded greatly over the years, at least in part due to having to think up new characters each year.

 

Maybe just make themes shorter, two or three years at the most.

 

Biggest problem is that it would require Lego to be creative.

Even though I never any of the sets or story or anything....

 

But, I think I agree with you. Although, the licensed themes are also interesting. I do enjoy the Star Wars LEGO Bricks for sure.

 

I dunno lol. I'm actually beginning to think they should just stop Bionicle. Or at least do a different story. Like Bara Magna, but without Mata Nui and Makuta and bleh.

 

Why couldn't the Mahri Nuva just have defeated Makuta? >>

Because having Makuta win was totally unexpected and kinda cool

 

And now they can't just do a quick turnaround and beat him, they need time to show that this is actually important

 

But new timelines in the vein of transformers or gundam would be cool

Well, yeah, it is kinda cool. The story's just going on a little too long for my taste. I'd rather have something new.

Superfightermen, complete with both an inika torso and a piraka torso in every set. Also the same color in every set.

As a casual observer, I'd say they did an OK job of doing exactly that with Knight's Kingdom (and maybe Exo-Force).
