The Fall Of Bionicle


Angry Nidhiki

237 views

It's coming soon. I'm serious. I know I've lost interest lately, all because of the Inika. I think the problem is, the people at Lego are more trying to capture the interest of the originally targeted audience (8 year olds), and it's just turning out to be a disaster. Bionicle is currently the most popular Lego series... EVER. And there have been stated hopes for it to last 25+ years. THat hope will never come true if they keep going the direction they are right now. Light-up weapons? Give me a break. The Piraka were a good turn-- The Inika reversed it. See here.

Cool.

Dumb, AND ugly. See what I'm talking about?

 

Bionicle needs to take a trip back to the past-- See what the did right, do more of that, and make 2007 a fresh, new, and hopefully not completely ugly start.

Well, stuff like the gears was awesome, but I also like the good posing abilities of the newer bionicles. The old bionicles had masks that were really good, but the newer ones are more... non-breakable. Though they're still not the best looking masks in the world. The older bionicles were cool and original, but now it does seem like they're trying to make them TOO futuristic.

I see what you mean, I don't really like the inika's weapons much either, atleast the piraka's weapons had some mocing usefulness for things other than weapons, unlike the inika's bulky swords.

Ok, while we (Mature people with crazy minds, 'specially the Spittle and Happy Nidhiki) are not major fans of the Inika, it's what little kids nowadays want. Flashing bright things and lots of cool shooting.

You just have to respect what BIONICLE is really aimed at, and not at teenagers with a lust for olde skool.

That's what I'm worried about. Bionicle STILL doesn't actually have it's complete targeted audience, If I'm right.
