I've felt that the Skull Warriors were all corrupted Toa, a play on the shadow Toa theme from 2001. I really don't think we need to go down the road of thousands of sentient species again.

Who were your Bionicle ships?
Mendicant replied to CarumEsSarene's topic in Bionicle Storyline & Theories
I always loved Huki and Maku, besides the toys my first introduction to Bionicle as lore was the Mata Nui Online Game, and that first year was critical in defining my fandom of Bionicle and Lego in general. While it was taken out and completely ignored by canon, those relationships felt real and authentic, and added a believably to the franchise. Besides those two being my favorite pair, I always enjoyed the playfulness of Hali and Jala, even though, again, it was never allowed to go anywhere. -

Bionicle 2016 Set Names Discovered
Mendicant replied to Hapori Tohu's topic in BZPower.com News Discussion
Kopaka is available in the Winter Wave! Removed by request of LEGO. -B6 Searching this up on Lego Shop brings up a Product Not Yet Available Page. This was confirmed on the Sciurus Workshop Youtube channel. -
An ominous mask, villainous, even? I'd love for this to be a twist and the mask belong to The Makuta. I still believe this is a reboot. BIONICLE IS REBORN!!!!!!!!!!!

You can find Carlos D'Anda on Deviant Art. Absolutely anyone may contact him, or leave a message to him. Especially if he has already been informed, then I'm sure arrangements can be made. How many fans donated to this? Is the money still around? Who's responsible?

Rumor: Bionicle's return in 2015
Mendicant replied to RaidMaster Productions's topic in Bionicle Discussion
I will definitely put cash down for the complete wave. I hope Lego Store has some big launch. -
If you assault fan communities over a miscommunication, you're a loonie. There are proper, culturally representative ways to present your case. Holding fansites hostage is unacceptable, and loony toony. Digital terrorism is not a solution. So please remember that.

There was originally a theme with the names; Tohunga, Toa, Turaga, alliterations I've always been fond of. As a fan from the era of Tohunga, it's what I still call them to this day. It will always be Tohunga to me. Though, I still remember the assault on BZPower, and the site was down and everything. A shame LEGO gave into the demands of loonies.

Rumor: Bionicle's return in 2015
Mendicant replied to RaidMaster Productions's topic in Bionicle Discussion
I feel pretty confident that Hero Factory is done. Bummer for fans, but it might not be permanent. As for gender diversity, I feel as though a fair and balanced gender ratio is important for the brand. And as an original fan in 2001, where I did swap genders, I fully support Lego in swapping genders of half the Toa team to remain balanced and fair. With Gali, Pohatu, and Lewa, the latter two I often considered female anyway. But it's also important for Lego to remove the monogendered tribes, and if those steps are taken then Bionicle could easily flourish as a unisex brand for kids to grow into. Lego Friends shouldn't be the only theme welcoming girls. And Bionicle always had a defined female fanbase. -
Rumor: Bionicle's return in 2015
Mendicant replied to RaidMaster Productions's topic in Bionicle Discussion
That isn't a viable point, though. It's hearsay. Has anyone else contacted a retail store? Actually, that might be a good idea. Has anyone else, besides this member, contacted a store? Even a Lego Store? This is the internet, people get excited, exaggerate, misunderstand. I wouldn't even put my stock into what a stranger on a message board says. Individuals require their own verification and proof. And, besides, he wasn't arguing BIONICLE, he was arguing the NYCC announcement. -
Poll: 2015: The End of Hero Factory?
Mendicant replied to fishers64's topic in Hero Factory Discussion
I wouldn't miss it. My wife has enjoyed the line. But, and perhaps it's a bit bias, I just never felt the passion for Hero Factory as I did for BIONICLE. And it maybe arrived at a different time for me; bored of excessive sci-fi and crooks and villains that the series presented just didn't appeal to me.- 109 replies

Rumor: Bionicle's return in 2015
Mendicant replied to RaidMaster Productions's topic in Bionicle Discussion
I think he's perfectly allowed his skepticism, this may not be a BIONICLE announcement. This is about keeping your hope and hype in check. What you allow yourself to feel is fine, but so is skepticism and reserve. For me, I'm the hype train conductor. This is the exact type of announcement I was expecting, since I didn't buy BIONICLE at SDCC, even when the case was empty until Sunday. Point being, the fandom has been wrong before. BIONICLE is coming back, but this may not be its announcement. (I think it is)
