I feel mostly the same way. Pretty much the only thing I do with my sets these days is use them as a visual aid for spriting.

I had that same TTGames idea at least three years ago.

Also, I think it went, "What it takes to beat the villains?" not "the fearless".

Quite frankly, the first thing that went through MY mind, was 'Gee, now that the sets are at an end, MAYBE they can make a decent game about all the years between '01 and '10'

After that, It was 'Well, dang, there goes the biggest thing that sucks money out of my wallet, but is still love-able'

And finally "I wonder what the reaction on BZP will be now that it is confirmed"

EDIT:

Now I wish BZP would give us all Prem privileges so I could access my Blog....

I'm actually pretty ok with the sets ending. Even if it means I'll never get a dark red Hau. What do hate, though, is how they're just ending it with the Stars. I mean, the Stars are nice, but they're Matoran-sized, for crying out loud. Not to mention the fact that this is the end of Lego's greatest toyline ever, and they don't bother ending it with a bang.

It's kinda like Exo-Force all over again...

I can't say this wasn't expected. There were waaay too many "BIONICLES ENDIGN ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG!!11!!1!" blog entries and topics that made me wonder if it would end.

This new "theme", I bet, is most likely a pathetic attempt to smother Bionicle and all its fans. Most likely, it will fail, and LEGO will lose many AFoLs (Adult Fans of Lego(s?)). AND FOR LEGO'S SAKE, IT HAD BETTER NOT BE BEN 10 ALIEN FORCE. Thank you.

But we will not surrender. We will remember the Bionicle storyline for the glory it once was. In our hearts and in our minds, the Toa Mata will have washed ashore on the island of Mata Nui.

I actually haven't gotten any Bionicle sets in a while, but the story is still slightly attracting me. And seeing how Lego will continue the story for a while, I'm okay with the move.

I think that some of the reactions to the end are a little overdramatic, especially the people who want petitions and start bashing TLG and threaten to boycott all Lego sets. I've seen this before in regards to a forum I was once on, and reactions were similar to what I'm similar. Only this time the sets that the forum is based off of are being discontinued, not the entire forum itself.

Of course, reactions of slight sadness and nostalgia are perfectly okay, but not when they are brought out on the people who possibly had to make that decision.

And in regards to the new theme, it's not Ben 10. Ben 10 is directed towards the younger fans, although I don't know what the new theme's angle will be. Plus, the new theme comes out in Summer, and Ben 10 comes out this January.

I dunno... it's through and "established third-party series" or something similar. I suspect this is Ben 10, though you could be right. There's a 50/50 chance right now.

Beginning in summer 2010, The LEGO Group will debut a new, more flexible buildable figure property created by the same people who brought you BIONICLE. At the same time, we are also expanding the category to appeal to a younger audience through an established third-party property, starting in January.

Quite.
