Lyichir Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Did... did they just swap the "I" and "L" in Bionicle?I don't expect these ones to last long. Flagrant copies of sets like these are generally the top target of Lego's legal team, and some of the easiest to shut down. 4 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regitnui Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 That's an obvious knockoff. I look forward to seeing it return, more heavily disguised. 3 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...

Cheesy Mac n Cheese Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 BIONLCIE: Six Destinies, One Hero. Yeah, pretty much everything gets knocked-off. Back in Gen 1 there were "Invincibility Warriors." I've looked up bootlegs just for the fun of it. Stuff like Spider-Man being labeled "Power Rangers" and Buzz Lightyear labeled "Avengers." Then there's the backpack with a discolored Sonic the Hedgehog labeled both "Harry Potter" and "Obama." 3 Quote My friend went to Po-Wahi and all I got was this lousy rock.

Xan Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Hey! Don't you dare slander BIONLCIE's good sir! They were a legend! But seriously, it's like they didn't try to do anything original. What next, Maskers gen 2? Be prepared... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quisoves Potoo Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 It was inevitable. It is unfortunate, but not unexpected. These knockoffs... Begone, fear! =P 1 Quote (Credit to Nik the Three for the banner) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irrie Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 This...this is just pitiful. It really is. At least other knockoff brands were courteous enough to design their own logo. 1 Quote bZpOwEr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I click on it I see a quick flash of what I think is Toa Okoto Tahu then just as quickly becomes a blank screen.The link works fine for me. Anyways, this is just a sad attempt at a knock off set. Thats really all I can think of to say about this. 2 Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

Owlexander Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Even sadder is it says compatible w/ Lego Bionilce. I've never seen a knock-off that says it's compatible with the actual product it's knocking off. o_O 4 Quote |"We are the Turaga of the new generation." ~OwlexanderYouTube - Imgur - Flickr - Bionicle RPG Chat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booky The Bookworm Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 This is ...Pathetic. Honestly. They couldn't even make it believable that they're not a cheap knock-off brand vandalizing people's childhood memories. And sadder still, they claim it's "Compatible with Lego Bionicle"(Even though it is Lego Bionicle, just not sold by Lego with the brand name spelled "Bionlclie".) It's crushing that companies invade other company's copyright and can't even come up with a half-decent name. 2 Quote "In this new- Wait, why am I being quoted?!"-Kovika, Toa of Ice, Bread Enthusiast, and Ko-Metru Scholar.

I wanna see how the actually look.Probably just the regular Tahu set with cheaper and more breakable plastic, pins that don't quite fit, and some different shades of plastic.>Different shades of plastic>Desire to use in MOC intensifies Different shades of plastic doesn't necessarily mean the color will be significantly different. More likely, the colors will be ever-so-slightly off from Lego's own formulations, meaning that they'll stick out like a sore thumb alongside similarly-colored official parts, but won't be different enough to make much of a difference when used on their own. A "purist" example of this would be the metallic Rahkshi colors. They're similar enough to the normal Toa colors that most people aren't even aware they were meant to be different, but the difference is enough to screw with the look of a model that uses both colors together. 1 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masterchirox580 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 What's even worse is the prices, a lot of these sets are the exact same price as their official counterparts, I mean come on isn't the whole appeal of bootlegs the fact that they're cheaper? 2 Quote It's time to move on.
