This phrase gave me forum cancer. Also, I'd love to see a source on that "1000 active fans" bit. OT: Absolutely. Various franchises that are massive today started off slow and stumbled along the way. Several reboots and cancellations aren't rare these days. I honestly think G3 will be a thing in the future, as regardless of the low(er) sales of G2, Bionicle has written itself into the history of Lego like no other franchise. I mean, sure, trash (sorry, Ninjago fans. I have no issues with you, I'm just passionate) like Ninjago sells well, but it doesn't have the same depth, or weight in terms of influence as Bionicle did and does. With the right devices and approach, in the future Bionicle could be expanded into a semi-adult franchise too, or the story at least. After all, things like Star Wars, DC and Marvel all have massive merchandise industries aimed at children, but you'd argue the core audiences of those franchises are adults. Sure, they didn't originate as children's franchises, and Bionicle did, but in the long run, a similar transition could be made. I swear to god, you need to calm yourself. Stop looking to get actively triggered by anything and everything I say. Ninjago is the new Bionicle, in that it has: A) a (large) fanbase B) a tv series C) several videogames D) and now a theatrical movie Also, how many active Bionicle fans would you say there are? Enough to warrant at least the three years promised, right? OH! WAIT! Bionicle was cancelled after 2 years! I am not saying that less than 1000 people bought them, only that there are probably less than 1000 active fans. You do realize that 1000 fans wouldn't spawn a product line? BZPower is a mere fraction of sales. There are fans on plenty of other sites without accounts here, and many, many children who buy them as well. And there's parents buying them for kids, and people who buy them but just don't like fansites. Seriously, if they thought only roughly a thousand people would buy them they wouldn't even think about it. Well, it was cancelled after two years Seriously, you're just strawmanning at this point. Don't make arguments if you're going to abandon them and bring up another random point. How? Lego tried launching Bionicle again, nobody was interested, and it was cancelled after 2 years. How in anyway is that a strawman argument? It only illustrates the lack of interest in the line. Bionicle does not have 1/1000th of the brand name appeal of something like Star Wars, or even Star Trek. The users of BZP/TTV/RRU/BMP does not even come close to the amount of people needed to bring Bionicle up to that level of pop culture.
