So, the questions of this topic are simple, what did you think of the BIONICLE collectibles? Were they a throw away part of BIONICLE or a central reason you got into BIONICLE in the first place? Were you excited about the "kollectibles" (Kanohi, Krana, Kratta, more Kanohi), but found yourself asking why did LEGO release a pack of Squids? Post your answers below. My answers, In the early days, the collectibles were a great way to get some cool parts, like masks, but I never had the funds to get very many and as such the collectibles never were a major part of my BIONICLE fandom. That being said, I do feel like something was missing in BIONICLE when the colorful masks were replaced by Zamor spheres and Squid. I thought it was cool when the Stars showed up telling me to collect THE GOLDEN ARMOR, sure I always knew what I was getting, but it was still a nice nod back to the old collectibles.
