  1. Not a case of him claiming it as his own, but posting other people's art IS against the General Art rules (which is where something like this should normally be posted by the creator themselves). From the General Art rules:
  2. The Rahkshi heads were way more irritating to remove on the Rahaga IMO. At least with the Rahkshi you can poke a beam through the hole in the top to push the socket off.
  3. Wonder if these LEGO sets will attract the same lot of people who were screaming nonsense about Zavvi selling stolen Transformers stock earlier this year. :v
  4. I've never heard that term. Toa Olda would be a cool name for a team if there was an island called Olda I suppose. Maybe something for fanfic writers to consider.
  5. It's my FFXIV character. And yes, my avatar/sig match. Avatar being her face and sig being a quote from the Endwalker expansion trailer.
  6. Rhotuka spinners are just very deadly fidget spinners.
  7. Anyone who says Food Fight is a liar and they know it.
  8. Junkbot... that takes me back. Also makes me realise I'm old. :v
  9. There's a night mode now...? EDIT: Oof that makes all the old graphics look crusty.
  10. I mean, it was stated in the World Builder rules that you had to be over 18. :v
  11. It really makes you wonder just how many more prototypes are out there, just sat collecting dust in boxes. Or just how many were destroyed after they were done with...
  12. We never asked for it, but unfortunately, money speaks louder than sentiment when it comes to toy products, or in this case, the lack thereof. If toys aren't profitable for a toy company, then those toys get the axe. Simple as. Doesn't matter how much faith the people who actually did buy and enjoy them have. LEGO should have never cancelled G1? Why? So that they could start bleeding money continually producing toys for a line that was losing ground after going for 10 years? That wouldn't have been a very smart business decision on their part. And yes, G2 certainly could have had potential for much more, but only if the line had been more successful. It's less that we're acting pessimistic and more that we understand that the conditions were not favourable for G1/G2/Constraction. G1 was on the decline and couldn't keep going forever, G2 could not live up to G1's legacy, and Constraction as a whole was suffering for it. You need to face that reality, too. The heyday of Bionicle and Constraction has long since gone. LEGO needs to focus on what is currently working for them, not trying to appeal to a minority who just want to relive their childhood.
  13. Honestly it's nice to see people still look back fondly on his work, and some comic section rep in the contest is a plus, too. I know where my vote will be going.
  14. You also seem to have yourself convinced that these LEGO Ideas and BrickLink sets will bring Bionicle back if they succeed. You seem to have forgotten that the Ideas sets are usually quite pricey, meaning mainly collectors will be buying them, so such low numbers being sold will hardly be enough to warrant the revival of an entire product line. And as for the BrickLink thing, that's already fallen through, showing us that there's not nearly enough interest in Bionicle these days compared to other LEGO products. I'm sorry, but Bionicle just doesn't have the same scale as it did in the fandom's old days. People just have more important things going on in their lives to fully care about a children's toy line as they've got older.
  15. Honestly, I'm with Lorentz on this. Remember, at the end of the day, Bionicle was always a toy line first, and a story second. If the toys aren't successful or being produced/sold any more, then they're not going to make/continue a story for it. As much as we may want it back, LEGO needs to prioritize what is actually making them money, and as it stands right now, Bionicle is not profitable. Bionicle may return one day, but it won't be G1.
