Tyrion Archer Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 These are beautiful! Thanks for making them! I know it's a tall order, but I do hope you're able to do Adventures and Legends. And I doubt these will need to be taken down. Like Skeleton said, it's not like Scholastic is losing anything off of these. One last thing: the Journey's End link doesn't seem to be working, but luckily that one is on BioMedia Project with all the story serials.

Illuminatus Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I'm not sure this is exactly legal, but I'm pretty sure it's okay. It's non-profit and it's incredibly well done, so I welcome it! Great job and thank you for sharing. I like that you used the TradeMarker font, too. Do you mind if I asked how you obtained it? I used to have a copy of the entire font that (I admit) I never bought but I lost it while irresponsibly installing a new OS. The one thing I apparently didn't back up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopekemaster Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I have a feeling this is about to get shut down by the mods, but I just want to say thanks. I own an entire collection of the Bionicle books (excluding the ones from Bara Magna, they always seemed kind of "different" to me), but having some in PDF form is very handy.

Toa of Ice - 1987 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) Um...is this legal? How much money does Scholastic ever make from these Bionicle books today?Zero dollars? ..... oh. Not legal per se but no one is being cheated out of money here. Except for eBay sellers.It's been over 13 years that these particular books were released. If they aren't even available through online retailer stores then i think its a 90% chance that there is no worry of financial infringement.-------------As for my opinion Thank you so much for taking effort to provide these books. This great upload is definitely worthy of becoming a fron page news headline on BZPower home page. These books are definitely great to read. My favourite moment so far is when Tahu Nuva asks Lewa to keep it secret about Tahu's tree climbing failure.

ShadowBionics Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 About the only places you can even find the books now are ebay and Bricklink. And even then, that's pushing it seeing as how rare it is to find the specific ones I want. If anything, while this might be questionable (while still in a gray area, in the sense these aren't available anymore and Lego and Scholastic most likely will not reprint any of these books), this is one effective way to keep the books relevant and make them available to fans who never got to read them before. While I have nearly all of them, I never did get to own Time Trap or the Web of Shadows novelization, for example. 1 Quote [flash=250,100]http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/sprxtrerme/BANNERS/thornax.swf [Bionicle: Unsolved Mysteries] [The Knights of Terankos] [Miyaka The Blazing Wind] No, I didn't see you playing with your dolls again!

Azani Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 It's phenomenal to see that these exist, particularly as theses appear to be reformatted to optimize forlayout and spacing, while Cross-Wired-Freak's attempt was literally just a series of scans. Thank you, man. As far as legality goes, they're technically not falling within what's allowed, but it shouldn't be too much of a concern. Neither does jaywalking. 1 Quote Find (digital) me under the name Azani on YouTube, Eurobricks, Discord, the BioMedia Project and the TTV Message Boards.

TuragaNuva Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Thanks so much for making these! I'd wanted to do this myself for a while, actually, but never got around to doing it. Would it be possible (and not too difficult) for you to upload these as Word doc files as well? I'd like to be able to reformat the text a little for a personal project. I can just feed them through a PDF to .docx converter, but I figured if you're converting these to PDF from Word, maybe you could just upload the Word files.

Pohaturon Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I'm pretty sure this isn't infringing on anything since the books are not commercially available anymore and the OP isn't asking anything in return. I don't know if you have the whole book series, but I'd be happy to chip in. I've got them all sans Legends #9 I believe, as well as most guides like World (as mentioned above), Dark Hunters and Rahi. That said, the books are in another house right now, so this would be at some point in the future. 1 Quote Stone rocks Model Designer at The LEGO Group. Former contributor at New Elementary.
