Sick burn. In all honesty the HF specials were just typical cheap kids entertainment. I'm not sure what the makers of those specials think about their work a decade on but I don't imagine it's a highlight on their resumes. Either way those cheap kids specials really don't age well as you grow older. In fact with a few exceptions most of what I watched as a kid is unwatchable at this point.

It's a possibility but it's unlikely to happen as there simply isn't much demand for it. I do remember some of the HF jingles but other than that nothing. Unless you can assemble a large number of people wanting the HF soundtrack it is unlikely to happen. Although perhaps you could email the composer (assuming you can find his contact info).

I remember having it a few times, years ago. Typically when it happens I am at a local supermarket that I sometimes went to in order to buy the things. Typically mine are of old sets being re-released. The only twist though is that every time it happened I was then shocked to find that the sets are in fact bootlegs. Very good bootlegs. I would see the images and then the clearly bootlegged logos. I always left disappointed. Not entirely sure what this was supposed to signify but it certainly was always a weird twist.

Well being Catholic I guess you can say I believe in the supernatural. I myself recall being visited by my grandmother in a dream and the next day my mother said she could have sworn she heard foot steps during the night and thought someone had come into the house. Make of that what you will.

My recollection on this is that the Lego group really did not like the idea and I think this was with good reason. Placing a human in the mask of light, let alone making that human the seventh toa would have completely destroyed the canon and any sense of immersion. Plus there was technological problems as I cannot imagine how it would have worked given the now ancient animation software they would have been using. In creative development these things happen. Ideas get thrown around a lot and a fair number don't make the cut.

I think you'd have to split this up by building system. If we're talking the G1 technic days I want to say the vahki. They weren't bad, so to speak, but they were just kind of uninteresting. Essentially they were just a robot police force being controlled by Makuta. The stars were actually very memorable on account of how terrible they were. With CCBS I want to say the Chima line. Chima figures were not only bad but nobody seemed to want them. I myself was largely out of the Lego scene by this point but Chima was not at all memorable. Even the superheroes figures were better.

My understanding is that this individual has supposedly been pestering another user that he is has a deep obsession with and that this has gone on for circa a month now. I don't have screenshots of the conversations that were supposedly had but given the things I know from people of other lego adjacent online communities I would personally believe the accusations to be true. This person seems to be displaying symptoms of both Autism and OCD. It is very clear that he is undergoing anxiety as he is now trying to delete threads as well as re-apologise to the person making the accusations. There is a very high chance that this will not be the end of this person's activities on this website. I'm not sure if I have any solutions for this individual other than to try and seek treatment for OCD as I believe that is what keeps driving them back to this website and other bionicle fan communities.

Well this topic escalated quickly.

I think Takanuva is also a very good bet for this sort of "future" for bionicle. I put that in quotations as it's not really a future with a new storyline or anything. Takanuva is also very recognisable due to the 2003 film. I could also see some brick built masks perhaps, such as the ignika. Either way it's not really a G3 as we'd like to have seen it as it will just be replicas of the old sets. I think this is also because the audience is way smaller than other Lego themes such as castle or classic space. Bionicle has a decent sized audience but it is no where near as recognisable as the generic old themes of the 70s and 80s.

I mean here in Europe the stars were released in early 2010 and weren't out of production until the end of the year so as far as I'm concerned there was a good gap there. Either way though Lego's current strategy is largely that of reiterating their old themes with the most easily recognisable icons to draw in the highest number of people (mainly 20 to 40 something nostalgics). I'm not particularly happy with this strategy as it means there's a very good chance it's just gonna be more odes to Tahu. Although it does also mean a decently high chance of a bohrok replica being created or perhaps even a piraka. Either way I wouldn't buy it as these products only target collectors and are not designed for children. Lego has no real interest in actually bringing back themes for a new generation. They seem to assign certain themes to certain age groupings and then try and keep them hooked with the odd release here and there. As far as I'm concerned it stifles Lego's internal creativity and stops them from churning out new themes like they did in the 2000s and before. There are all sorts of concepts they could experiment with that they just won't. A Greco-Roman theme is long overdue I think but it doesn't seem like it'll ever happen. All we get is that very expensive colosseum set a few minifigures, and perhaps some of the Atlantis sets? It's a theme that should have happened by now but just hasn't. It's not like I buy this stuff so it doesn't effect me either way.

Lego seems to have declared bionicle a "vintage theme" which certainly makes me feel old. It suggests its' going to take on a position similar to castle and space. That is something that Lego throws out an odd reference to every now and then and maybe makes a D2C set every now and then for some extremely high price. Mostly likely built brick replicas of the old sets as Lego can no longer produce the moulds that made them. Best case scenario is that we see brick builds of the 2010 Makuta and Mata Nui robots. Worst case is that we just get more odes to Tahu.

Yeah, sorry to say this but you're kind of barking up the wrong tree. The bionicle community mostly consists of people who were kids during its' original run between 2001-2011 (counting the extra story arcs). Most of us bond over that shared memory of the old days of bionicle back when it was on store shelves. Most people here will be coming from the perspective of a nostalgic rather than someone who has gained an interest long after the fact. You're more than free to continue reading up on this stuff and indulging in a love of an old franchise (I know I used to do that) but I would really suggest looking elsewhere for a sense of belonging.

I'm not entirely sure what happened but from the looks of it you seem like a troubled individual attempting to use old internet communities to alleviate a sense of loneliness. I may be overstepping the bounds a bit by even commenting on this but you mentioned being diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and having been accused of stalking. I'm not going to comment on that but I get the impression you have issues related to socialising. It's nothing to be ashamed of, in fact it's more an indictment of the society surrounding you that you don't have people in the real world to speak to. I would also like to enquire into your relationship with the bionicle franchise. Were you a fan of it during the time of G1 or have you picked up an interest later on? Either way I wouldn't recommend spending huge amounts of your time on this fanbase as virtually all of us are young adults now with different interests and responsibilities.

I personally cannot bring myself to watch it anymore. Not because it's bad but just because of how much the world has changed since then. It just reminds of when the internet revolution was in full swing and we could all finally get away with doing this without normies to harass us. Nowadays my relationship with the internet is mostly negative and I can no longer stomach the fact that I used to be able to just switch off and indulge in this sort of stuff for hours at a time. Now I have to think about my family and long term well-being like never before. It's just too painful.

That's kinda cool I guess. Won't be watching the special of course but seeing Tuma is certainly quite the throw back. My guess is that it was an aesthetic choice to match the whole Lego feeling. I like that the animators chose to do this.
