What was you first reaction to BIONICLE?

[randomreviewerbros]

What I mean by this question is what was your reaction to BIONICLE the first time you ever heard about it or saw it in stores?

I actually do not remember what my reaction was as i was to young when i got my first BIONICLE set to remember it

[Axilus Prime]

The first time I heard about it was from a commercial. I barely noticed it until someone brought Reidak and Zaktan to school and made them fight each other.

 

Me: What are those?

Him: Bionicles.

Me: Which one's the good guy?

Him: They're both bad, but they don't like each other.

Me: Oh.

 

I went home and searched up Bionicle a while later. Got hooked.

First reaction to seeing Tahu: "I want one."

I can't remember, I was 3 at the time. I can only assume that I was amazed by their looks.

[NorikSigma]

I was 4 I think.

 

Probably something along the lines of

 

"Oh, these Toa guys look cool. Can I get some?"

 

Then the story appeared.

 

Then my life changed forever.

[Vakama-san]

I was far to young to remember my first reaction, but I do remember being awed by my older brother's Toa Mata and, at the time, brand new Toa Nuva.

[FrozenFlash]

My first reaction to it was mostly just like:

 

"That looks awesome. I want one of those."

 

And then I found out there was a story. That only got me even more interested.

I recall seeing adverts promoting it in early 2001 on Cartoon Network, but they didn't show any of the sets properly so I didn't pay it much interest. Then in 2002 I saw the advert for the bohrok and I instantly wanted one, but my dad wouldn't get me one. It was only until 2004 that I actually got some sets but I'd already long forgotten about my original interest from 2002.

"Whoa! Cool toy!"

[Toa Smoke Monster]

I don't remember exactly what my first reaction to when I first saw them in stores back in 2001, but I must've thought they were cool because my Mom bought two of them for me that day and I've been a fan ever since.

[The 1st Shadow]

Back in 2001, I saw a commercial for the Rahi, but thought little of it at the time. Later, when we bought Lewa for my cousin's birthday, I finally took an interest in them, and later bought Gali, who I thought was a dude at the time.

"Well, this thing is pretty awesome." Something along the lines of that, was what i had first thought after getting my first Bionicle set.

[Cambion]

"what is this"

 

(my first set was a birthday present. i had never heard of Bionicle until i received the set)

When I first saw them in stores:

"I need this."

[Sir Kohran]

I was a bit indifferent when I first saw the original Toa. Impressive as the set designs were, I assumed the line would be another Slizers, simple and shortlived. It wasn't until I started learning the story in the days that followed that it became clear this was unlike anything Lego had done before.

[Spiderus Prime]

I was 8 when I saw Jaller.

[BioCry]

My first reaction to BIONICLE was as follows:

 

"I want the green one, Mommy!"

i don't think that's exactly what the question is here..what was your 8-year-old self's reaction upon seeing Jaller ?

[Pomegranate]

"...These don't look like my regular LEGOs. This... this looks fun. I want one of these."

[Fang RRB]

As my Brother knows, our first Bionicle's were Toa Hordika, Onewa and Vakama. We were originally going to get Knights Kingdom Action Figures but then we decided to get these strange Lego Sets.

 

But Right now I see that we made the right Decision, I will always remember that day

[fishers64]

Something like "Huh. Weird. Well, I didn't plan to buy this, so I'll get what I came for. Focus." 

[boston100]

wow this video game looks cool.

First time i saw bioincle was an add for the game in nation geographic.

Then in the story.

Hey this looks familiar.

[dotcom]

Hm. I believe the first time I really saw a Bionicle thing was in a little ad book that I think probably came with a bucket of bricks my mom had gotten me. (which was my first experience with Lego) It was a really long time ago, so I'm not sure how old I was (Probably 5 or 6) I remember thinking they looked pretty cool, though I didn't really know what they were or anything, and in any case I was more excited by other Lego things more. I wouldn't really get into Bionicle until around 2004, way after I'd forgotten about that old advert...

[Heontris]

My very first reaction was: That's cool.

 

(When I saw one of them chickens (Bohrok))

 

Unlike Pokémon, which was "This looks weird."

[Erasmus Graves]

My first ever reaction was (this was back in the Hordika era): "Cool story".

And when I saw Sidorak's set: "...I want one..."

I still haven't gotten him yet, but one day...

[Xboxtravis]

First exposure to 7 year old me was the ads and comics in Lego: Mania Magazine. Soon I was on a school bus and I spotted a kid with Turaga Vakama. For some reason I was awestruck by the red face underneath the mask. Before I knew it I had my mom take me to the store, were I got Lewa. She had me finish my homework before I could build him
