Brain attack tbh. It was a downgrade from Breakout both story-wise and set-wise, and I honestly believe that it killed hero factory's momentum from the excellent previous year. NGL, sometimes I believe that some of the lego higher ups are responsible for neutering HF's story that year out of a fear of repeating Bionicle G1's issues, but I have no evidence for this ofc.

Given Chris Chan's "eccentricities" when it comes to his "fan content", and the whacky layout of the site, this makes a lot of sense.

I'll be honest, I never expected to see Chris Chan mentioned here... never knew he was a fan of Bionicle though. (For the uninformed, Chris Chan is a rabbit hole you really don't want to go down in.)

How about a free 75192 Millennium Falcon with every purchase of $10 or more? I'm sure there'd be plenty of takers.

G2 was killed by the multitude of half-measures Lego took with the theme. The marketing wasn't sure whether it wanted to target a new audience or target the nostalgia of G1 fans to get the world out, and ended up failing at both. The Toa sets were probably some of the best CCBS sets ever released, yet the villains were among the most underwhelming (with both Umaraks being the exception, really). They commissioned a series of flash animations which turned out quite nicely, yet only bothered to hire ONE voice actor. The list goes on and on. The sad thing is, I think Lego just wasn't confident with putting its back into promoting Bionicle as much as they did with, say, Ninjago. They played it far to safely, which is a contrast to how G1 was boldly introduced in the middle of Lego's depression, and the sad reality is that at the end, they still didn't have the confidence in the line to continue it past two measly years. Star Wars CCBS probably had as much to do with G2's cancellation as regular system did - not that much at all. The bulk of the blame lies on Lego's mistakes, which they hopefully correct one day.

Star Wars didn't kill Bionicle, Lego did.

lol im not giving you money to build mediocre mocs and write mediocre fanfiction

What you can do is swap out her line connectors with the lime ones in Keelerak. There's a very, VERY small difference in the shade of lime, but its close enough and much sturdier.

Absolutely incredible. I'll probably steal take notes on that torso design of yours, absolute genius engineering right there. Btw, is there any chance that we could get a pic of his back?

"Often" would be an understatement

I hope that the mask is a trans blue Kaukau (since we are getting trans/ half trans versions of the rest of the masks EXCEPT the kaukau so far)

Dang it you're right If you're reading this staff, could you please fix it? Edit: Fixed! -Wind-

There was a dark red torso with Pyrox, which I regrettably never picked up

Thanks for the feedback! Regarding the legs, I was limited by the amount of dark red shells I had, so I had to revert to older parts to try and preserve the colour scheme. Regardless, I'll see how I can improve upon it. I mainly focused on making sure the gun could flip like the original sets, except this time the "claw" can actually grab things. Anyhow, any advice on how I can improve upon the legs and lower body?
