Pohatu: Uniter of Stone Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Back in December, I was doing some Christmas shopping at a Boscov's and I naturally wandered over to the Lego section, admiring their set selection. However, there was something... out of place, or rather out of time. I snapped a picture with my 3DS. Yup, It's an ad for Lego.com from the early 2000s. Notice anything special about it? That's right, it's Pohatu! Boscov's did have BIONICLE, but in the form of a picture from 2001! I went back a couple of days ago, and they still had the ad up. There were no BIONICLE 2015 sets still, but this is good enough for me. Thoughts? Quote I HATE SCORPIOS ~Pohatu Master of Stone, 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nescent Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) I think that was just your reflection. Edit: That Technic set on the top-right, the yellow guy with the hat...I remember seeing that in instruction manuals/magazines, such nostalgia.

Regitnui Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) I think that the bigger news here is that gen2 Pohatu owns a 3DS. Bionicle confirmed for SSB7! In all seriousness, that is pretty cool. Edited January 28, 2015 by Regitnui 1 Quote Elemental Rahi in Gen2, anyone? A write-up for an initial video for a G2 plot I really wish everyone would stop trying to play join the dots with Gen 1 and Gen 2 though,it seems there's a couple new threads everyday and often they're duplicates of already existing conversations! Or simply parallel them with a slightly new 'twist'! Gen 2 is NEW, it is NOT Gen 1 and it is NOT a continuation. Outside of the characters we already have I personally don't want to see ANY old characters return. I think it will cheapen the whole experience to those of us familiar with the original line...

Zeb Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I think that was just your reflection. Edit: That Technic set on the top-right, the yellow guy with the hat...I remember seeing that in instruction manuals/magazines, such nostalgia.That yellow guy was one of the first Mindstorms official robot models. That's a pretty neat little picture. Odd that it's still there after 15 years.

TheSkeletonMan939 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Cool! But that's a strange pose to put Pohatu in... maybe he's breakdancing. It's always really fun when you find something "out of time" in plain sight. I once found the Bionicle sticker book in a Barnes and Noble in 2010. That was really neat!

Nescent Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Cool! But that's a strange pose to put Pohatu in... maybe he's breakdancing. I think that's his kicking pose, they just removed his rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pohatu: Uniter of Stone Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 I hope to return to Boscov's and take a picture with new Bionicle sets and this old ad. Quote I HATE SCORPIOS ~Pohatu Master of Stone, 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xabla Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 That's cool! I wish I found things like that. Quote cringe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Smoke Monster Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I think I might have that dinosuar action figure. I haven't seen it in a while though. Regardless, I never thought I'd see an ad with both 01 Pohatu and a dinosuar on it. Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

UnderscoreChronix Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Nice. Remember when people were getting all excited because of a quick half a second image of the Toa appeared in the LEGO Movie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldero Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 That's a really good find. Strange how Boscov's wouldn't take it down after fourteen years... And I thought finding XT4 at my local Toyworld was strange... Quote < -< =<o>= >- > Ha!

Remember when people were getting all excited because of a quick half a second image of the Toa appeared in the LEGO Movie? I don't remember anyone getting very excited, per se, I remember one guy felt it was offensive that Bionicle wasn't there for more than a second.
