    Lego: JtO is the End of G2

    guess who was right, me

     

    [and etc]

     

    Your maturity is inspiring.

    Ok.. Well since you tried insulting me, I just went back through my topic to see if you had told me I was wrong but you weren't there, so I would like to be the bigger person here and I would like to give you an honest thank you for not being one of those people that told me I was wrong in that topic.

    Well this is not a surprise, I would like to say thank you to the people who told me in my topic "well the end is near again" that I was basically stupid and didn't know what I was talking about, so yea thanks because guess who was right, me. And some of the smartest people on this website were 100% wrong, "nah it can't end because Lego themes go for a minimum of three years, you're wrong" LOL completely wrong, and I bet those same people will respond with "it's just a hoax it can't end because it hasn't been three years"........if that happens well you will be wrong again. Here is that topic for your viewing pleasure, and for the people that said I was basically stupid, I was right: http://www.bzpower.com/board/topic/22422-the-end-is-near-again/

     

    It's very sad to see the theme ended for a second time, but things happen and I guess that I hope it comes back for a third hurrah someday.

    Thankyou Bionicle for the memories once again.

    Why isn't Bomonga's Dark Grey Rhotuka on Bricklink?

    in Bionicle Discussion

    Posted · Edited by randomreviewerbros

    Hey everyone,

     

    I was using the Wayback Machine looking through BZPower's archives and I finally found an answer to a question I've always had, I found a topic posted back in March 2005 asking what colour is Bomonga's Rhotuka spinner meant to be?

     

    I have always wanted to know if I was just a stupid kid and had lost his black Rhotuka flying it around so much, because I can't recall back that far as I was only 6 at the time I got him in the beginning of 2005, and on his box he is advertised with a black rhotuka, I've always had the dark grey Rhotuka and didn't know what set it was from until tonight, apparently earlier versions were packaged with a dark grey Rhotuka but later versions with a silver Rhotuka.

     

    Now my question is why isn't the grey Rhotuka on Bricklink and how many of you here still own it?

     

    Thanks everyone!

     

    Oh btw here is the link to that topic: http://web.archive.org/web/20050315021659/http://www.bzpower.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=168449 

    Hopefully it works

    Coolest Set?

    Hydraxon.

    - Best-looking black and silver set.

    - Hands. HANDS!!

    - Underslung wrist-mounted Cordak blaster. Looks so dope.

    - Three ginormous wrist-mounted throwing "knives".

    - He's Hydraxon. Get over it.

    Hydraxon is an epic set!

    I just want to say one thing, all you in the USA do realise that every episode is out on Youtube and has been for like 4 months???

     

    I see this complaint so many times, on Twitter, on Facebook, on Youtube, but it's so easily fixed by just logging into Youtube and typing "Ninjago", one of the first videos when you search that is like episode 57 full HD quality, and if you have Youtube on your TV all the more better!

     

    It hasn't aired on TV here in Australia yet but I watched all the episodes as soon as they were out on Youtube which was the day after they had aired in Europe back in February.

     

    Anyways back to the topic, I am excited for this next wave of sets, already have my money ready ($800 AUD, this wave is so expensive) to buy every single set as soon as I see them all in stores!!!!! So excited for it!!

    Are you talking about the official uploads? Because I started out watching those but they were made unviewable in the U.S. shortly afterward. As such, I've seen every episode except for the current season finale. Perhaps someone else has uploaded the episodes in good quality by now, but back when I was trying to watch it, most of what I could find besides the official episodes was terrible camera rips.

     

    Beyond that, I like to try and support the show by actually viewing it when it airs. But I can't really do that if they don't air the episodes in the first place...

     

    Ok thank you for an actual response to when I say this, people on Twitter are always complaining about it and I say this and they just don't answer, so the USA doesn't get to see the episodes on YT because they are unviewable?

     

    Wow that's strange, seems like Cartoon Network only wants you to see them on TV, probably asked YT to disable them in your country.

    I always think too much towards the future but this is something I strongly believe is wrong with the world today, school is going to become purely based on computers one day, and that will be fine and all but with so many distractions, how will kids achieve the marks they need for a good career?

     

     

    Marks (if you mean grades achieved in school) have absolutely nothing to do with a good career, unless your life ambition starts and ends at a mid-range office job. 

    As for children being more and more exposed to tech and becoming early adopters, that is nothing but good. Historically, progress was always met by opposition, and yet society today is objectively better than it was a few centuries or even decades ago - however the things that have increase the standard of living today were decreed back then as harmful or of bad influence.

    That generation, the ones who have laptops and smartphones at the age of six? They are the ones who will solve the problems those who came before them could not. They may only use those laptops and phones for entertainment today - since, you know, they're children - but that plants the seed of greater technological literacy, upon which the species' future is founded.

     

    I also find it curious that someone whose entire forum presence is built around a youtube channel, to discourage its use  :P

     

    :kakama:

     

    Aye I like your last comment lol :P 

     

    But I do think too much towards the future when I should really just be focusing on now, I do have my opinion and others don't share the same notion that is completely fine, everyone has right to their own opinion :)

     

    Btw Pohatu is the GOAT (Greatest of all Time), Pohatu Mata and Nuva are awesome ;)

    The end is near.... again :(

    I wonder though if today's children just have dare I say, different interests! Take for example when most of us where kids the big names in children's toys where Star Wars, Pokemon, Power Rangers, etc. There was a HUGE focus on "collect them all" in a lot of toy lines, again especially in Pokemon. I have no doubt part of early success of Bionicle was due to arriving in the same era with a similar "collect them all" advertising campaign, and a lore that began to rival other themes. Don't forget also Lego's financial issues at the time to. Hard to think but sets built in classic Lego bricks where hard to sell. Design quality dropped. Bionicle's success was in part because as the company was failing Lego put EVERYTHING they had into Bionicle (and Lego Star Wars to) in a desperate attempt to save their company.

     

    Now in 2016 what are the big names in children's Toys? Star Wars remains, but we now have Minecraft, Ninjago, Etc. Lego is no longer in dire need of help, it has come to be the a brand so powerful it was briefly recognized as more notable than even DISNEY! Wow! Lego no longer needs Bionicle to be a smash hit, they now have dozens of successful themes. All they need Bionicle to do now is perform well enough it remains "in the black." Also look at kids interests now to, things like Minecraft or Halo or other games aren't promoting a "collect all" culture anymore. Kids focus a lot on YouTube and what not, and when they want to play with Lego they want the characters they know from movies or TV. Since Bionicle does not have a major presence in those fields, no surprise it has had less fame than Ninjago.

     

    But, is that a bad thing? Themes such as City, Friends, Speed Champions, Technic, etc are still produced by Lego even if they aren't as "well known" as say Star Wars, Ninjago or Super Heroes. If anything Lego might be trying to see if Bionicle still performs well even if they only invest in it only slightly less than they do in other themes.

    In the words of Cyrus Borg from Ninjago "I used to think technology was the answer to all of our problems, but then I saw technology invent new problems, devastating problems", it really is a shame the kids of today want to have technology more than the fun of Lego, Lego has been the only thing I've collected my entire life, I never had anything else as a kid, and that's shaped me to be the person I am today, I didn't have a phone or a laptop till I was 14, now kids who are like 6 years old have phones and computers already, Lego will forever be popular and do well as a company, but at what point will technology become the only thing that kids want, and where will that leave everything else?

     

    I always think too much towards the future but this is something I strongly believe is wrong with the world today, school is going to become purely based on computers one day, and that will be fine and all but with so many distractions, how will kids achieve the marks they need for a good career?

     

    I rarely ever play video games, I've always been one to play sports and be creative with Lego and that is all, I have tried my best in school and now I'm at university, my Ninjago collection 100% complete and my Bionicle collection 95% complete, I can see what you mean by the "collect them all" thing, because that's always been my goal haha.

     

    I am glad Lego aims high every year to produce the best quality products and sets, I will forever be collecting Lego, most people tend to have a dark age but I'm 18 soon and it hasn't happened, and I am aiming to be a Lego designer, so it never will happen.
