- - - First of all, I'd like to point out that I don't really see this proposal as a theory, but rather as a discovery. Most aspects of it have been hinted at since the very beginning of BIONICLE, but have never been clearly explained. What this proposal aims to do is to unravel the grand scheme, if you will, and redefine that which has been there all along. I've divided the theory into several basic parts, each raising and answering a question that I believe to be pertinent. So, starting
I was supposed to go to the movie theater with a friend today, but it turned out he had some other arrangements so I ended up going by myself. I didn't mind, really, it rather contributes to the experience when you're alone. The movie of choice was none other than Inception. The room was pretty empty, and I was at the backmost row, so it felt decent enough. The movie itself was astonishing. I found it well-paced, innovative and with just the right amount of action, effect and intrigue. Christo
Just had another idea laid to waste by the Greg man: And just in case anyone's interested, this is something else I suggested to the BSS a while ago: I look forward to hearing what you think.
I had some fun breaking down the elemental—or rather "environmental"—archetypes in BIONICLE and its predecessors from a visual and marketing perspective. Here's a rough table based on what I suspect were the most and least successful visual themes throughout the years: Stand-alone: Volcanic Branded as "Fire" and "Lava" Dominant color: red Jungular—for lack of an actual word Branded as "(The) Jungle," "Swamp" and "Air" Dominant color: green Marine Branded as "Water" and "Sub" Dominant c
Did I ever show any of these to anyone? Or these things: God, that was such an awesome concept, and the pattern couldn't possibly have been any more perfect.
Can anyone confirm to me that Tahu Nuva, Pohatu Nuva and Onua Nuva each came with a standard black ball joint for alternate builds, while Kopaka Nuva had three of those (for the Wairuha Nuva model) and neither Gali Nuva nor Lewa Nuva had a single one included? I've almost definitely kept the piece-to-canister distribution throughout the years and the instructions only seem to indicate the use of ball joints for Tahu, Pohatu and Onua, but I wanted to ask for curiosity's sake.
LEGO Preliminary Press Release, Oct 2008. As 2008 comes to an end, so does an eight year-long chapter in the BIONICLE storyline.

"A remote and forbidding planet, filled with strange inhabitants and creatures, that
Upon voting in each poll for the recent Nikila contest, I was a bit disappointed by the sheer amount of rough, bulky, macho designs that the majority of entrants had drawn. IMO, Greg's rule regarding the addition of female attributes really hindered the potential of some artists. Don't get me wrong, there are some great pieces out there, but most of them are, in my opinion anyway, nothing like what Nikila should look like. My personal favorites? Good luck to everyone, and I look forwa
