Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing more remote control sets

That's how I got into contact with some of the developers

You know, it's not that hard to build a simple Toa set. Also, what is this whole "Bionicle" cannot possibly be for little kids argument that has been brought up time and time again? Kids are not stupid. Lego, whether you want to admit it or not, is aimed at kids, not 50+ BZPower members. I mean, seriously, what person over 12 who is not a member of BZPower even knows about Bionicle, excepting if their kids are fans, and they have to go buy it for them? The adult Lego fanbase is not in any way the standard. Really, who do you know that isn't related to you, that knows about Bionicle that isn't a member of BZPower? Manchildren were never, and will never be the only thing keeping both Bionicle and Lego afloat. If that were the case, than Duplo would be the only Lego franchise, right? This page pretty much sums it up. It's a little adult, but honestly, what kid goes onto this site? More than you would think. Do not link to highly inappropriate sites. -GSR I built the Rahi at an early age with ease. So did everyone that I knew. Children are what founded the Bionicle fanbase. Did any of you get into Bionicle as an adult? No! So why then should kids be considered 'outcasts' and 'unfit' for playing with Bionicles now that it is back, simply because you have grown up? Bionicle is not yours simply because you were a fan of the original. Bionicle for me, was in my childhood, and, to be honest, the only reason that I still even go on BZPower is for LOMN. To be blunt, the G1 fandom is clinging to a dead series, and they are imposing what they have now accepted as the standard on G2. We are not considering kids unfit to play with Bionicle characters; we are just trying to determine if they are aiming at a younger audience this time around. The series is not dead; the only thing dead about it is its website and the production of its products. @ green: Then why are you on this topic? Because it caught my eye. I didn't mean that I limit myself exclusively to LOMN posts.

When I was about 8 or so, I would find the car trip home to be unbearable because I couldn't build my Legos right then and there. In the meantime, I examined every detail of the box (right now I'm thinking of when I first got Lihkahn). There is nothing like the feeling of a box.

In reply to your comment, it was bound to happen as the child-based fan base grew up so a lot of the self-entitled Bionicle fans do make such a claim. After all, Bionicle has been around for 15 years and most of the fans are way over 15, so... yeah. Moving on, the whole concept that former G1 fans are the 'Turaga' of G2 and, as such, should help to usher in the glory of Bionicle and its new fan base is totally erroneous. I highy doubt that we will see very much difference in the membership of BZPower, as many people are waiting for the day when the log in and see 1000+ people online. Those days are dead. Those kids have either grown up or entirely forgotten about BZPower. Just look at the other Lego franchises. The average fan for those are at the ages of 4-12 (most of them being at the 4-8 mark) and have they registered an account on BZPower? No! They watch Ninjago on Cartoon Network and buy the toys, because that is what they are at the end; toys. And Lego has all the money in the world to show for it so don't tell me that it's not true Lego sees in dollar signs, and whether you like it or not, the BZPower members are an absolute, total minority of the total profit of Lego. Do you think that the forum posts of a 100+ attending membership in any way sways Lego? How exactly is it adult-level? I built Technic sets with ease when I was younger, it is practically impossible to mess up so long as you stick to the instructions. It's ironic that Bionicle coming back has been the biggest thing to divide the Bionicle community in a while.

Noob posts :\, anyways, I don't remember who that was nor where I found that.

They're okay

Well! PM me your email.

I have and I am, please don't contact him *for now. Anyways, I will be setting up a GDoc soon, do I have any volunteers?

I attempted that though I never got far. It needs to be a collaboration project.

Here's another: http://www.deseretnews.com/article/851556/Utah-firm-to-make-game-for-Lego-toy.html?pg=all

So, why don't we all collaborate and write the history behind the game? We could all do with each others knowledge on the subject, names would have to be censored, but that's fine. Futher reading: http://www.ign.com/articles/2001/05/19/e3-lego-bionicle-hands-on http://www.gamevortex.com/e3_2k1/qs_bionicle.html http://www.mouseplanet.com/hometheater/ht010618.htm http://web.archive.org/web/20020207143513/http://www.saffire.com/news.html

What I expected was to motivate forum members to search for a copy of the game, or more info regarding it There have been a lot of threads like this in the past, all with the same basic conclusion. RedQuark is still the best chance we have of ever getting the game distributed, and it's been that way for a lot of years. Only a few of us know how to contact him and if we don't want to ruin our chances of getting it from him, it needs to stay that way. As some of you may know, I located a disc two years ago from a former LEGO employee whom I sourced all my prototypes from, but after other forum members discovered her identity through my own carelessness and sent her a barrage of emails, she cut off contact with me and everyone else before completing the deal for the copy of LoMN. Still frustrates me a bit to think about. The same could easily happen with RedQuark if everyone were to start contacting him. It's certainly a waiting game, but I'm sure he'll come through eventually. I contacted her, and she informed me that she no longer had the game in her archives in Dubai. Who, besides myself anyways, are the BZPower members who could be counted among the 'experts' on LOMN? Why don't we try to make a definitive history of LOMN, just to organize the information. Also, please allow me clear some things up for those who do not already know: No beta test ever took place. No copies of the game were ever released to the general public, Lego and Saffire were the only known entities to have the game in their possession. The pictures of the different levels originated from adverts for the game.

I didn't realize how much I actually wanted this

No, not officially. But it was even advertised in one of the comics. Masks of Time were manufactured to be sold along with the game. It's not like it was a big secret. But LEGO were probably too embarrassed to admit that a game for a brand new line had to be cancelled... it would lower expectations for consumers for what BIONICLE had to offer in the future and might have hurt the line. Better to stay quiet and let everyone forget about it... Everyone except us, of course. LOMN was officially cancelled. See here: http://www.maskofdestiny.com/article.asp?i=6533

onua.blk was cracked by myself some time ago, and with it any other .blk files the game may contain. It contains a bunch of old DirectX .x files and a bunch of other files, but further reversing of the files within will require a copy of the game to test with. Literally every time that I have called Lego, I am put on hold for 20 minutes at a time a transferred from department to department only to be told in brief, "Sometimes we don't finish a game because it does not meet our expectations, or is not working out in development. Did you know that Bionicle is back here is 2015 and will get it's own games? Thanks for calling.

I cant seem to remember the source of this, but LOMN was only compatible with Windows 98 SE or Windows ME. The OS in the video is Windows ME clearly running at a fairly low resolution, though that is probably just a personal preference of DeepBrick because I highly doubt that LOMN would run at a resolution that low. At any rate, this shows that LOMN can run on ME, so there's a mental note for us, however insignificant.

When was that? At around the beginning of the year, I'll check tomorrow.
