Axilus Prime Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNTOS Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 First reaction to seeing Tahu: "I want one." -TNTOS- 1 "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - Theodore RooseveltA Writerly BlogThe Tasty Library of Sugary Goodness(My Little BIONICLE: Friendship is Explosive Completed 01/05/14){The Shika Trilogy Omnibus Completed 03/31/14) (Review Topic)(In the End Completed 09/01/14) (Review Topic)The Biological Chronicle: (2001) (2002) (2003) (2004) (2005) (2006) (2007) (2008) (2009) (2010) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doodleloot Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I can't remember, I was 3 at the time. I can only assume that I was amazed by their looks. 2 Hail Denmark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorikSigma Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 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. BZPRPG ARC 3 / Breaking Point Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vakama-san Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 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. "Why can't I dream that I'm alone?" "That is not a dream, that is a substitute for reality""So where is my dream?" "it is a continuation of reality""But where is my reality?" "It is at the end of your dream" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFlash Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taria Pakari Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) 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.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 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. Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 1st Shadow Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 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. ~Your friendly, neighborhood Shadow ~Credit for Avatar and Banner goes to NickonAquaMagna~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Nui Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 *Has Tohunga Matoro in hand* "Well, this thing is pretty awesome." Something along the lines of that, was what i had first thought after getting my first Bionicle set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Kohran Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fang RRB Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 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 1 Check out our Youtube Channel - www.youtube.com/user/randomreviewerbros - For Bionicle Reviews: Lego Reviews, Lego News, Gaming and lots of other stuff!!!

dotcom Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heontris Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 My very first reaction was: That's cool. (When I saw one of them chickens (Bohrok)) Unlike Pokémon, which was "This looks weird."

Xboxtravis Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 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 All aboard the hype train!
