~garnira returns~ Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 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! 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! "Copy and paste me into your sig!

ToaN Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I'm still holding on to the hope that that was really Greg. It is quite possible that he was posting from another computer in another location. Or perhaps he had someone else post it for him. The BZPower Chat is alive! Join at: http://xat.com/thebzpc I am ToaN, from the N continuum...

Black Six Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 So ... when is Monorail coming back?(also moar teal please)Monorail is on the list too, but only in new grey.

Valendale Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) I think the better option would be purple Bionicle monorail, with an accompanying teal Galidor 9v train. Of course, each would have one car filled with soccer/basket balls respectively. Edited April 2, 2013 by JIF Natural Creamy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Nukaya Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 True story, actually. Here are some images I secretly snapped of two BZPower employees handing off some money to a LEGO employee. Is it hush-hush money given before the big announcement? Where is that employee now? ONLY TIME WILL TELL. My MOCs ~ Mishaps & Bubblewrap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Ray Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 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. X-Ray "Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Well, BZP buying LEGO surprises me. I'm interested to see what LEGO's future will be now. Also, how about 'LEGO Power' for the site's new name? Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makuta Almanax Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 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.

Makuta Almanax Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) 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...

LaputanMachine Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I think he was talking about the whole "Greg-posts-from-different-IP-so-B6-bans-him-into-next-year" incident. 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.

Makuta Almanax Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Fair point. I'm thinking the two are intertwined. It was all too perfectly timed, in retrospect.

>_< Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 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.

Black Six Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Unfortunately, it seems that the Danish Chamber of Commerce has rejected our proposal to purchase The LEGO Group. We'll be putting in an appeal, but it looks like this may not happen.Thanks for your support everyone. We'll keep at it!
