There is plantlife, but I think that might go with the Green.

It has had a great impact on my life. Heck, even when I get away from it my other interests stem from it. Elemental creatures? Bionicle! Druids? Oddly enough, Bionicle! Its impact has waned over time as the series ended and I moved into other interests, but it will always be there. Heck, considering how fast my interests disappear and reappear, I wouldn't be surprised if I got obsessed tomorrow!

Does anyone know how to get metal bars in Metru Nui Online?

 

I liked it, yet they should have made a metru nui online game.

I can't remember, because it was so long ago for me, but I believe there was a really awesome fan-made game that took place in metru nui. To describe it, I think I would say it's kind of a combination between the mnogs and vnog. And it was awesome. I really wish I could remember what it was, I would totally try to find a way to play it. You could play akilini!

 

Here it is! http://www.menol.org/menol/index.htm

I was wondering where I would post a thread to discuss the fan-created game, Metru Nui Online. I cannot post it in the fan-created game subforums, as that is for the creators to share their work. Help?

I've seen a fully-packaged onepu for around $4 and and starter deck for the Quest for the Masks trading card game for $3.50. Would love to get them, but I already have so much I want to get...

What's happened to the Legend of Mata Zuto download links? They take you to an empty site where nothing happens...

 

Also, someone might want to add my game: Invisible Legend...

Yes! That NEEDS to be in the software library!

So far great! It really emulates those classic rpgs from our childhood. I was also wondering if there was an option to switch movement keys? The down key on my computer is broken.

Post anything you think is controversial here and discuss it.

The mask looks a little small on it, but they don't make kanohi that big anyway, so it still works.

Love the drone's legs!

1. Extract all files from the folder.2. Click the "RPG_RT" icon, which should look like a man holding a sword.That should work.

Some fan-made games require RTP or Rpgmaker 3. After downloading those, how do you play the game? Thanks in advance. Note: I am trying to play Seal of Success

imagine a Bionicle video game series

I have no idea, because I had never even heard until now that the sets were repurposed. Now that you mention it though, it explains why the Kiril was used to represent the Pehkui instead of a brand new mold.

First of all, that site is filtered for a reason. Don't try to dodge the word filter.Secondly, The Doom Box is not going to be an episode. It is a novel by Greg Farshtey revolving around this year's sets.Thirdly, we know nothing about 2015, and since the other info was false than I doubt they have any decent source for that, either.Unfounded rumors are not grounds for a topic.

HF: Breakout game, or the series of RPG style games from HF's inception?

Do not bypass the filter. -B6

I think you guys messed up the poll. It has options other than strong yes. Jk, it would be pretty cool to see it return, but I am ok if it doesn't

Bionicle is the only thing that has been keeping me alive other than my grandparents. Bionicle is my life. Anyone who say no in this poll is dead to me.

Well....um......that's a little harsh donchya think?

Is it still successful? Because I heard that if it fails, Lego is going to stop building construction figure style sets.

I surprise you by making you think I am a deer using Chuck Testa's amazing taxidermy skills. I then use my onua claws to steal the mask.MY MASK!

I thought everyone was exaggerating about the Onua claws. Oh how I was wrong...

Hey redd- I mean Bzpower, what do you think about Hero Factory: Breakout?

Neither, if "positivity" takes the form of "BIONICLE has to come back because Hero Factory sucks".

This doesn't make sense, I never said Hero Factory sucks, I said that Hero Factory doesn't have as close to a story as Bionicle had and LEGO never tried to give them one, stop trying to twist my statment it's rude.

and LEGO never tried to give them one

Well that's kinda not true at all. Hero Factory has a story. It's not as involved as BIONICLE, but that isn't inherently bad. It's fun where BIONICLE couldn't be. And when you say that LEGO knows that Hero Factory is bad and they know that BIONICLE is inherently better, you're making a pretty bold claim.Also, what lack of new molds? There's been no dearth as far as I can tell.I assume by your statement of "it's fun where bionicle couldn't be" meant its storyline was more flexible. Kind of like the first years of bionicle.

"no" has a negative output so yes it is negativity, especially whenever BZPower comes out with something new to discuss about Bionicles return, the most commen responce is "it won't come back and if it does, it won't be as good" people should just be happy that there's evidence that LEGO has intrest of bringing it back.

"No" is an inherently negative answer, but using it does not automatically make for a negative statement in the way you mean.I contend that people should "just be happy" with what we have now instead of looking forward to something that may not happen.

You forgot the part where I added the word "real" aka. serious, in depth. No no where near as complex as Bionicle's story and you're kidding yourself if you think it's better. I never said they know Hero Factory is bad, they know that they won't get the same effect that Bionicle had on people.And the lack of molds I ment the masks how they've been recycling.

In which case we're using words in entirely different contexts. I figured you either didn't follow the line at all, and so didn't know, or were taking the "no true Scotsman" route. I chose the first interpretation, but I was wrong.You dismiss Hero Factory's story as not "real" because you don't like it as much, but it nevertheless has one. It's not trying to emulate BIONICLE's edgy serious story. It's a more comic-book style series.And yes, I like how non-serious Hero Factory is. I like that it can throw out lines like "The function of the surrounding blades has not yet been determined, but one senior analyst suggests they are there to make the entire staff "look scary."" and have them fit with the tone. I like that they had a "ticker" on the website for silly little reports that people sent in. Hero Factory isn't to be taken seriously, which is why I like it.Also, if you're only looking at the helmets, you're missing a ton. Here's a quick sample of the molds Hero Factory has provided. And that's only what LDD had; not all the pieces are there. Given how in one wave the entire building system was overhauled, personally I'm willing to give them a bit of leeway with new face molds.

ohhh man this devolved from a pleasant topic of discussion to a fiery pit pretty quickly. can't believe i didn't see this coming.the way i see it? it's very unlikely the line will ever come back. there have been no statements that support or deny it, just hand waves away from the subject. i doubt that beating a dead horse on a forum that was once far more active than it is now is going to have the "star trek effect" or whatever the fans who want the return of the line call it.in other news, hero factory is not a bad line. bionicle had some great years, story-wise, but there's a lot of nostalgia that seems to dim people's perceptions. they're both constraction figure lines, one with a deep and complex story that got a bit out of hand because of how complex it was and another with generally superior sets (pieces less likely to crack, more aesthetically cool and less lanky-looking, more points of articulation, etc. etc.). i don't think the constraction figure concept is going anywhere because of how successful it's been for, what? 13 years or so?that being said, i don't think it's out of the question for the line following hero factory to be something of a bionicle reboot, and by that i mean a line connected thematically, for instance how rock raiders and power miners were connected. a science-fantasy line with emphasis on mystery, exploration, and teamwork as opposed to a science-fiction line with emphasis on tribute to silver age comics, smaller story arcs, and recurring characters. even if it's not bionicle in name i think something along these lines is far more likely to happen.either way, there's still a great possibility the line won't come back in any incarnation. we just don't have the evidence, and tlg doesn't plan that far ahead of time. i see a lot of discussion of optimism and pessimism around here and i don't think that even is a factor here. bionicle had a good run. most of the people i see who demand its return wouldn't be satisfied with a reboot because of how different it would be. it's a thing of the past, and there's no use clinging onto it. that being said, a return would certainly be most welcome in my eyes but as an unexpected, pleasant surprise and not as something demanded by a long-dead niche fanbase.

Since the end of BIONICLE, any LEGO employee who has been asked this question - or one similar enough to it - has responded with the same statement, which is essentially a glorified combination of "I don't know, so let's not rule anything out." Anybody with a connection to the LEGO Group says the same exact thing. Heck, Kevin Hinkle has said the same thing about Galidor and the same thing about Monorail, and I don't think anyone envisions the return of Galidor - or, for that matter, wants it. (I myself shudder at such a thought.)From what I can infer, "I can't say that" is a standard response to inquiries about the status of discontinued lines. Now, is it more ambiguous than, say, Binkmeister saying that "we don't have any plans right now, but hey, you never know?" Certainly. Anyone who wants to think that Hinkle meant it in a "we're-trying-to-keep-it-under-wraps" sort of way can think that, but in the end, they're kidding themselves, and deep down somewhere they have to know it.LEGO's not a stupid company; they know what's smart and what's not. No one affiliated with LEGO would say - or could truthfully say - anything regarding a permanent discontinuation of any line, not just BIONICLE. Galidor is a good example for this - it was easily one of the worst lines that LEGO produced, if not the worst. But no one - no one - that works for LEGO would ever say that Galidor was never coming back. They might think that, but it's conceivable that there would be a future in which the return of Galidor would be profitable. I can't think up a viable scenario for this, but I'm sure one is out there.Now, if no LEGO employee will say, with 100% certainty and truthfulness, that [insert line here] is never going to return, this indicates that LEGO has some policy which prevents canceled lines from being permanently canceled. After all, as Binkmeister said, you just never know. There may come a time, perhaps a decade from now, when LEGO wants to launch a new constraction line. Since LEGO tends to recycle the same general themes every so often, the possibility of BIONICLE returning is feasible. Likely? I'd air on the side of "no" there. But still, the possibility is there.But the question remains - if BIONICLE returns, would we recognize it? After all, rarely does a theme come back, carrying the same name and the same story. Alpha Team was much different than Agents, Aqua Raiders had a different focus than Atlantis, and Exo-Force and Ninjago share tropes, but nothing major. BIONICLE, in all likelihood, would not come back as BIONICLE. I contend, and still do, that BIONICLE was immediately reincarnated as Hero Factory, but I feel as if I'm in the minority.Mini-essays aside, I'm just wondering why this "news" was posted now instead of two years ago, when it would have been more apt and newsworthy. The bookends of the article are the bolded "I wouldn't read to much into this" and "Let the rumours commence!" - and if I didn't know better, I'd say that this article was designed to stir up drama on this topic once again.

BIONICLE isn't coming back in 2013? Who'd have thought that.

Well, we already knew this, really. The press release announcing the end of the BIONICLE sets didn't say "cancelled" or "discontinued", it said "for the foreseeable future". Greg said LEGO is keeping BIONICLE "in their back pocket". LEGO did have the story continue, probably a failsafe if they ever wanted to bring it back, and keeping BIONICLE.com and BIONICLEstory.com up isn't free, so they probably don't want to erase it. Anybody who has been saying that BIONICLE is dead is just overreacting. I see its return as a certainty in the next couple years, especially considering that HF seems to be winding down. The sets are in resealable bags now, they've dropped the character's first names and numerical designations (what was once "William Furno 2.0" is now simply "Furno"), and the current line is really seeming like HF's Stars. So yeah.

Not sure how the packaging or dropping the characters' first names is in the least way related to it ending or anything of the sorts, really. Especially if you consider that the last line of BIONICLE were Agori-sized sets in canisters.

There's a reason it is Lego's 2nd best selling theme of all time, because it it was good.

Only BIONICLE isn't LEGO's 2nd best selling theme of all time.-Gata
