Protodite Karzahni Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Wait, the old thread died?! Aww no. It was a fun one too.Exo-Force is, in my opinion, the second greatest thing Lego has ever done. It's a true shame that they discarded it so quickly when it had so much potential. I wrote stories once. They were okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sybre Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Exo-Force was among the best known themes. It was the first and only anime LEGO theme. If they bring it back, I'll be trying to fill up my wallet! mindeth the cobwebs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a goose Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) An Exo-Force discussion topic already exists here. Sorry.Hold on, it may be beyond revival. It looks like the last post was made today, a month ago.Well, since this would be spam otherwise, I bought quite a few Exo-Force sets back when it was out. I was quite surprised when it ended without a proper ending, especially seeing as we had the dramatic cliff-hanger-y thing right before it ended. Unless I'm incorrect, and there was an ending that I just didn't know about...- Vorex Edited February 26, 2012 by Vorex: Paradox Eater [BZPRPG PROFILES] Nikarra - Kaelynn - Ronan - Muir - Donal - Aerus - Montague - Kira - Koura - Learu - Alteora - Fuacht - Caana - Nessen - Merrill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never really thought about it until now.Why did they end it?Probably just because sales were decreasing. It lasted a good five waves (two and a half years), which is pretty significant for a LEGO theme. It does still bother me that it was left open-ended in 2008 immediately after the 2007 comics left us with so many unanswered questions.

The only reason this bothers me so much is because of the unanswered questions and where the story could have gone.

Something like Starwars and Bionicle likely overshadowed itI think it's more complex than that. Exo-Force represented a sort of middle ground between action-figure themes like BIONICLE and typical construction themes. But the Exo-Force battle machines tended to make poor action figures, since the system builds that allowed for greater detail also limited the play value of the sets, particularly in the first two years which tended toward semi-fragile builds. The third year improved upon that by introducing a sturdier build for humanoid mechs, but by that time it became clear that the more display-oriented figures of Exo-Force weren't selling compared to traditional building sets or action-figure sets. It's a shame, because I loved both the detailed builds of Exo-Force sets and the in-depth story presented in the online comics.

I still think it's a shame that there was only one version of Hitomi's minifigure, especially since she had just as cool a character design in 2006 as in 2007 when she finally got a minifigure.

King_Serperior Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 One of my favorite all time themes, honestly. My favorite part was the golden city saga, when they introduced all those ball-and socket joint bricks, which certainly made things a lot easier.Although I easily knew things were starting to falter when I saw all the "human" drawings of the human minifigs, which were completely different from past years. I wish they brought it back, maybe even steal Ninjago's spotlight. Cause seriously, what would you rather see, ninjas driving around in cars and spinning while beating up snake people, or oriental-style mechs whose pilots have martial arts skills fighting a plague of robots that have turned against them?

I was disappointed in the third year of Exo-Force when the more refined look of the previous character art was swapped for a sketchier style.

UltraHau Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I never bought a single Exo-Force set, but the comics... Manga + LEGO = Awesomesplosion.

Certainly, they would change things, or else there wouldn't be a demand any-more, and it would have the same cause of its end as before. Chances are, I doubt that they will bring Exo-Force itself back, but they will probably have a new theme eventually that is similar to how Exo-Force was. -- Meiko - @georgebarnick LUG Ambassador and administrator at Brickipedia News reporter and database administrator at Brickset Administrator at BIONICLEsector01 DISCLAIMER: All opinions and contributions made under this account are based solely on my own personal thoughts and opinions, and in no way represent any of the above groups/entities.

Protodite Karzahni Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I doubt Lego would ever bring back Exo-Force. They might make another mech-theme but it definitely won't bring the return of Keiken, Ha-Ya-To or Meca One, which is a tad disappointing. I did love those characters. I wrote stories once.
