Their behavior is distasteful. LEGOLAND (and LEGO in general) is supposed to be a place for creativity and open mindedness.

I thoroughly enjoyed 2.0. I liked the look of the sets and the building system was neat! Sadly, 2.0 was the last time LEGO tried something new with HF. I wish that LEGO would dare be more experimental with HF and try out crazy, new building systems. But they're not doing that. As it stands HF has overall been a lackluster theme for LEGO.

A cool find; I've seen another image of that prototype before, with the camera above and behind the mask. It was featured in this BZPower news story from 2002, with the same image provided as the one which you linked to in your post above: http://www.bzpower.com/story.php?ID=106 The article also says that a few of the prototypes eventually ended up on ebay, so not all of them are still in the possession of Lego employees.

Wow, thanks for the help!

I was hoping to find a YouTube-clip of the show, but it seems that the link to the article on the German site has been removed.

You gotta love that guy's early 2000's hair, though.

I love the Great Matatu because it strikes a perfect balance between a tribal and a mechanical look.

Hey there! (this is my first thread on here, woohoo!)

I was looking at prototypes and I stumbled across this Akaku prototype.

Does anyone know the source? It looks like it could've been a video interview.

This saddens me greatly.

It was such a big part of my childhood and now the site will soon be gone. Oh well, it wasn't gonna stay up forever but I'm impressed that Lego kept it up for such a long time after the cancellation. Kudos to you, Lego!

R.I.P. Bionicle

I, Artifox, do hereby pledge to attend MakutaFest 2012, and enter for a chance to win both prizes.

2007 was pretty darn cool, so was 2005. I remember playing the Morbuzakh flash game on there.

The Hordika, hands down.

As a kid, I loved the new Technic sets Lego came out with in the late 90's. I was into Slizers, Roboriders and the Dinosaur sets. My first memory of Bionicle was me sitting in my room staring at a Turgaga Matau box.
