  1. You really think so? :-( It's too likely to happen and considering how our opinions are worth nothing to TLG, they're not going to listen to our requests to expand on the story and worldbuilding. Oh come now, surely you don't actually think TLG completely ignores the consumer and just does whatever they feel like. Now maybe they don't "officially" visit fan sites due to legal issues stemming from something to do with 13 year olds. Thus why Greg has not been allowed to log in here in forever. But that doesn't mean they don't know... I can confirm that at the very least, the Bionicle design team has their finger on the pulse of the community. When I talked with the designers at the Inside Tour, they were well aware of things like the furor over the exclusivity of the Trans. Blue Gali Mask. Remember that just because they can't participate doesn't mean they can't browse as guests just to keep tabs on discussion. And of course, the Merlin Mann interview suggests that he's also keeping tabs on fan reaction. Of course, they probably also take our reactions with a heaping helping of salt, considering that we are not the majority and gripes about things like one thing or another being left out of the serials are not a major concern by any stretch. Raw data about things like sales and viewer count will trump guys with opinions on the internet any day of the week. Speaking of which, and I apologize for going on a tangent here, did you happen to snag yourself said trans-Gali Mask? I did, as did my brother. But before you ask, we have no intention of selling (after all, while we have two between us, there's no way we could give one to one person without passing over plenty of other people who want one). I did ask about the mask's quantity—they confirmed, unfortunately, that the numbering on the clear Tahu masks was in fact a fluke and that, while the number on these isn't 100% accurate (they specified that 250 had been produced rather than 200), only those 200 are going to be distributed, with the rest staying with Lego and the design team. Of course, while that does mean that those masks will remain hard to get, it also indicates that if there are exclusives at events like SDCC, then they will likely be something completely new! Do you think we will get clear masks for all Toa or only these two not in summer?
  2. ...if we could all agree, would topics like this still be happening? Paradox.
  3. I am the Fourth Doctor from Doctor Who. He is my favorite.
  4. This post belongs in the Buy/Sell/Trade topic. Yep, Bionicle hopped on the Trading Card Game bandwagon after Pokemon and Yugioh proved to be extremely popular. So why did Bonkle trading cards stop and not go into Metru, Inika, Barraki, etc?
  5. Nick is dead to me these days. Spongebob and Fairly Odd parents are nothing but hollow shells of what they were.They both either digest or bore me. And anything new they introduce are just generic band shows and whatnot. CN is the best channel exempt for two things: Uncle Grandpa is ok.But Teen Titans Go! is one of the worst cartoons.
  6. Yeah- this too. My feelings for the plantlife gender discussions right here.
  7. Clicked the link and I'm forbidden from accessing it. Huh, does it work now?
  8. This should have been the Stars version.
  9. Can't we just agree? I feel very tired of the gender discussions. I posted this in another topic but this is what I think of the gender discussions at this point...
  10. Mine is Matoro despite the fact I never got his set.
  11. I don't want Slizer/Throwbots mixed. Also, have any of you read the Maze Runner books? When I hear the Flare I think this: http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/lego/images/8/85/8521-1.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110819142925
  12. So, me and my parents were taking a loooooong drive for vacation when I was younger. We stopped, and we were not even halfway there, so my mom bought me Takanuva 2003. He is still used in Mocs to today.
  13. I can see it work, but someone would need to be nominated leaders across all forums. I would like to see a oligarchy be created though, of sorts. There is a elder/leader from every forum- BZP, TTV etc.. and they discuss it and make it up. The leaders would have to be elected though.
  14. The Greg thing also has to do with the fighting w/ canon, and every one asking him for everything, sand just the fact that Gen1 gets even more confusing. Bionic Man was on BZP and TTV for a while. No idea what Rakshi Heads or Vahki Power is.
  15. There were Bionicle Trading Cards?
  16. Totally Tyuet or Miserix. The barretta would really have helped 2009 grow. Maybe less people would have a disgust for it. And anything that was planned for 2010. That year fascinates me in what could have been. Also Jerbraz.
  17. I would not be surprised to see something like that at some point. But remember, there are only 13 sets so far, with five more due in summer. That's barely enough to fill one of DK's fancy hardbound volumes. If we get a character encyclopedia, it might not be for several years—keep in mind that even Ninjago didn't get one until its second year, and as a high-profile System theme it introduced far more characters per year than Bionicle could. It would be nice if they did though. Give some more insight to the Protectors other than with the Lego Mag inserts we've seen. Also more data on the Skull Spiders and their leader in general. If there is something for them since they are basically swarm villains even more so than the Rahi and Bohrok of Gen1. I have a feeling the Skull Spiders are going to be abandoned next year. Though, it would be nice to get some additional info out-of-story. How much you want to bet we never get any real depth about the Skull Spiders?
  18. This is why the Element gender discussions are kind of meaningless in my opinion.
