Wouldn't be surprised if they took such a long gap just so they could phase in short legs. Beautiful sets though, although I wish they were as detailed as the 2010 wave

What an incredibly well-put together collection. I did something similar with everything I could copy-paste off of BS01, but I'm so grateful you had the dedication to add the books as well. You're the editor Bionicle deserves.

Now I'm questioning whether or not the member raffle actually exists.

I didn't cringe once! -In the first episode anyway. I'm really warming up to the animation style too.

Thanks for the cameo! It's treason then? But seriously, I'm really liking the persona you're creating for Velika without even showing him. Cool chapter!

There's something weird about the images LEGO sent us for the set. When I first tried to resize them, they came out green-tinted. Since we were already late in posting the story, I just tried to get them as quickly as possible. It looks like the alternate way I resized them didn't do a great job either. I'll be sure to avoid that in the future. The Brothers-Brick has them in full definition, if you're willing to wait a while for them to load.

I haven't trusted Lego since they cancelled Bionicle in 2010. If they hadn't cancelled Bionicle back then, then I strongly doubt it'd still be around today, or have any likelihood of coming back. Nothing good would have come of running it into the ground. That makes no sense. Constraction hasn't been cancelled,I really doubt casual consumers see a massive difference between Bionicle and Hero Factory. There's no reason Bionicle couldn't have been retooled enough to remain fresh and sustainable up to this point without the official formality of a cancellation. If you meant Bionicle exactly in the state it was when it had been cancelled, with the convoluted Bara Magna whatever story and such, then I agree that that would have been unsustainable. But keeping the brand around alone wouldn't have prevented them from making basically the same changes they did anyway to keep constraction going (they could have basically tweaked Hero Factory to be a soft reboot of Bionicle, etc). (FYI I don't oppose the cancellation really, something needed to change, I just think it didn't NEED to include changing the brand). The way I saw it, the cancellation was largely for the sake of the casual consumer who would see the large "Hero Factory" label and not immediately associate it with Bionicle. The official press release talked a lot about Bionicle being "inflexible" as a property (at least in its current state). On the topic of the fine, this was one of the most interesting news stories I've seen in a while. It is pretty scary how much brand loyalty we all have though .

I'm interested in Bionicle and CG animation. The Voya Nui saga was always something of a favorite of mine. Really, I'll appreciate any art form. I chose my username before learning about the trans-tamaru thing, but I'm down with it.

Sign me up. I know I don't post very much, but I've been meaning to post some blender art on here, I feel like I owe it to this site for introducing me to the program in the first place. This seems like the perfect opportunity. Be warned though, if you aren't plastic I might make you look a bit deformed

Not the first character I would have chosen to make female- I guess Gary Oldman just sort of burned a mustache onto my mental image of the commissioner. Gender aside, Warner Bros. really isn't skimping on the voice actors this time. I really didn't expect this film to be taken as seriously as the Lego movie, but I suppose it's happening...

When I first saw this on ideas, I really didn't think there was any chance Lego would approve something that big... But wow! ... ... ... I typed the above before seeing the price. I understand now.

Do I smell droid arms? Well, whatever they're built out of, I'm really going to enjoy gawking at the entries. A project like this demands a lot of talent.

Not sure how I feel about a Bionicle show delivered by the people who brought us Dinotrux... I really hope this isn't treated as another obligatory kid's show.

So the rationale for removing the third scene makes a lot of sense. Anybody have any explanation for why the first two were different? I'm also starting to wonder whether something like this exists for MoL or WoS...

Remember when everyone was saying the Gen 2 mythos sounded like lord of the rings? Now it's starting to sound like lord of the rings in reverse...
