Bfahome Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Well I'd seen the six Toa sets in the old pamphlet things LEGO had, but then one day someone brought his Turaga Whenua to school (I think I was in third grade?), which is when I discovered that BIONICLE was more than just the Toa. Then I went out and bought Turaga Nuju and Onewa, and that, as they say, escalated quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdaptingChaos Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I remember my mom just buying a bunch of DVDs from a store one day. When she arrived she bought Mask of Light and Legends of Metru Nui. I quickly watched them bc it caught my attention and my interest in Bionicle grew. The next day I went to Toys R Us and I saw the Bionicle Logo. After that I arrived to a shelf filled with Toa Metru 2-packs and Toa Hordika. I knew however that the Hordika were knew so I got those instead. I got the green one bc it was my favorite color, at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechnicRage Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I was strolling through the toy aisle as I laid my eyes on something that would dig it's way into my heart: a Bionicle. I sprinted towards the gritty brown figure that I wanted oh-so dearly. Begging for it from my mom, she scaled the aisles checking for anything cheaper than 11 dollars. She, without hesitation, advertised the Vahki, prefferebly Nuurakh. I grabbed the red canister. I got home and opened the package, only to be met by tons of menacing looking gears and pins. Scared, I gave it to my parents to construct and was soon greeted by a fun, gimmick-y toy that I would love for the rest of my life; or the next few months as I lost him as I moved away from Florida, but stilll have remants of his leg. That is my story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenebrae Invictus Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I was in some random store and they had this little cage without a top set up with a lot of BIONICLE sets in it, and I thought they all looked really cool. Well, my favorite color was (and still is) blue so I picked the blue one, and my parents bought me it. That set was, as you could assume, Gali, but I had no idea she was a girl until I really started getting BIONICLE sets.

Parugi Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 My first sets (Kopaka, Tahu, and Onua Nuva, iirc) were Christmas presents, I believe. Either that or they were the first Rahkshi sets I bought.

The Legendary TNT Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 When I was three years old, I went to McDonald's with some friends of mine and got a Happy Meal like cool kids.

That Matoran with a Vahi Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 The January 2001 'Lego World Club' magazine had showed up on my doorstep, complete with a double-page spread devoted to the Toa Mata and comic one tucked inside its front cover. I was, shall we say, enamoured by the Bionicle sets - and even more so after reading Kopaka's exploits - and as soon as possible I badgered my mum into taking me to the local toy shop so I could buy Onua Mata. I think I chose him because in the initial picture of him, his design really confused me, so I wanted to see what he looked like in reality XD Quote "New legends awake, but old lessons must be remembered.

Lachanu Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 My first set was Gali as a toa mata. My aunt gave me her when I was four. I was into legos and other building toys then (I still am into legos, but not some of the other stuff like K-nex) Thus I was interested in Bionicle for a few years I then got Gahlok, Kohrak, Gahlok Va, and Toa Metru Nokama. Shame I got so few back in bionicle's golden age, but I was young then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
