BZPower Buys LEGO


Recommended Posts

 

All I can say is 'if only'. Then again, I'd be happy just buying the molds and machines that made the bits and making bionicle bits in every colour I ever wanted.

But in all seriousness, TLG under the control of BZPower would be devastatingly awesome if it ever actually happened. Too bad the former is a multinational multi-billionaire organisation.

 

 

I actually wish this was true, since the idea of BZP buying the intellectual property of LEGO known as BIONICLE has crossed my mind multiple times.

 

Nice try though! :nahnah:

I'd love to see that happen, especially if Greg came along with it. They could say "Well, you're not doing anything with it"

Yes! We must buy Greg!

Once B6 unbans him, maybe...

For me, BIONICLE was an epic science fantasy saga with a deep and complex lore, and was best when it was exactly that in its later years. I'm not sorry if that offended you.

So ... when is Monorail coming back?(also moar teal please)

Monorail is on the list too, but only in new grey. Old grey may come back though, we'll have to do some market testing to see.

Having special-edition old grey sets might be the way to go here ... I certainly think there's enough interest among AFOLs for that to be viable.

Hmph.

 

@bones: This topic is a revolt to sound logic. First off, BZP does not have 14 million dollars, nor did they ever, unless the admins went out and robbed a bank.

 

Second, Greg, being barred by law from communicating with us via his profile, should he have such an announcement, would likely use a more prudent method to reveal it such as communication with Erebus like usual.

 

Just admit it...this is a joke. :P

Yes! Awesome! This is a dream come true! FINALLY we can see the day when the theme everyone's been wanting back since it left will return!

 

Lego Pirates, here we come!

 

BZP, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me a new Lego Pirates theme is in the plan!

After five long years. . . The Master of Fire is back!

I would wager that BZPower's first act as the new owners of the LEGO Group would be to revive Bionicle. Quid pro quo.

 

In all, heh, seriousness though, this was a pretty decent April Fool's Day joke. Ha ha ha.

Lego Friends Power. . . Has a nice ring. :PAt least it's not Adventure Time Power. O_o I shudder at the thought.

 

There would be nothing wrong with that, Adventure Time is a phenomenal show, and in my opinion one of the best cartoons that has played in the last few years.

 

I think we should bring back KimPower, that was a good thing.

Looking for shiny Regirock, Articuno, and Virizion!

My 3DS friend list is full, sorry!

What's this? I go to bed and the 'other' thread closes down? That seems a little too convenient for me. Technically it's APril 2 here, but I guess I have to wait until it's no longer April 2 across the globe before I can make any sense.But this thread, I still don't believe.

Current (still-living) BZRPG Characters:
LITOZEN (Toa of Sonics) SANCHII (Toa of Air)
THENTYLE (Toa of Earth) MALKAN (Ta-Matoran)

CELITE (Turaga of Lightning)

I think it's better not to think about it until it's April 2 across every timezone. Then again, there's nothing to stop them keeping up the charade for the next few years either. I wouldn't be convinced unless the Lego Logo appears on the site. And considering trademarks and lego's relationships with them...

I think he was talking about the whole "Greg-posts-from-different-IP-so-B6-bans-him-into-next-year" incident.

Fair point. I'm thinking the two are intertwined. It was all too perfectly timed, in retrospect.

Right now, everything just seems too perfect, too coincidental.Problem here is, we have no idea as to how long they're going to keep this all up. It may be until April Fools has passed in all timezones, it may be a few days, it may even be weeks. We don't know, and cannot possibly know for sure.
