So the new island is known as Okoto, I'm sure someone out there is gonna cry "blasphemy it's called Mata Nui", But to me this name is perfect, it sounds like something you would get out of the old bionicle. It also shows me that lego aren't looking to dumb things down too much, and to those out there who hate this name(and there will be someone)they could have done what they did with ninjago where they just call it bionicle island or something.

The island name you mention is from some apparently leaked documents. So admins will not be happy. Although most people including myself have deemed the documents fake.

 

Go to the BZpower homepage, they've just confirmed this is the name.

With NYCC just a few days away what do you think we're gonna find out there, I believe we'll see at least one set image and also some story details, I'm also guessing it will be announced as a reboot. 

Yeah I think his hands was one of the reasons I preferred him to brutaka, I still remember buying him and being so impressed by the hands.

I remember this one time where this cat was sitting on my doorstep and it wouldn't move for at least an hour, I wonder if it got confused or maybe it was just sitting there to relax.

 

 

Is there any particular order you will buy the sets in, assuming they keep the same 6 colors as original? Will you buy them in order of your first Toa Mata sets? Favorite colors? All at once? This is troublesome for me cause I'm like ocd about nostalgic things like this, and if they release the Toa Mata characters, I want to get them in the same order, but I've forgotten what that order is o.O

I intend to but them to buy them all at once, I'm going to get a lot of the money from my parents at Christmas and I have a lot of money saved in my bank account, I believe it will cost me roughly 160 pounds.

 

You assume that you will get money? Hmmph.

 

I usually get at least 50 pounds from each of them.

What would ruin it for me is if they made it too light hearted, I would hate it if they kept telling lame one liners and the villains were dumb and the characters were corny.

Ah no, simply put I would hate to see what the costumes would look like, what would I want? Ah something that wouldn't completely mock the original I guess.

Yeah I love me some ponies, I got into this show back in late 2012, still love it and currently active on the MLP forums.

Aren't graphic novels often just compiled single-issues? I didn't know there were any Bionicle graphic novels.

Well that's what the old bionicle graphic novels were, but too my understanding these days lego tends to release graphic novels that are their own individual story and cannot be found elsewhere, so it's likely these new bio graphic novels will be their own thing and will not be based on any comics(as there won't be any).

If they bring back comics, how are we gonna be able to get 'em?

I believe Greg confirmed that comics are not going to be released, however he did say there would be graphic novels next year.

With bionicle coming back I was thinking about how it would compare to the older days of the theme which then got me thinking of how it could have been different which then gave me the idea to make this topic. So if you had control over bionicle(2001-2010)how would it be different?

My brother and I played it from the last days of alpha to the very last day (we played it together with the same account like 90% of the time). I've never had so much time and fun and enjoyment with any other game ever and sometimes, I still think back to the days we played it and I miss it. :/

Well I was an early beta tester(oh I still remember all the bugs), I too miss it as well, I still think lego should have kept it open longer.

 

 

 

 

I tried the "demo" on Lego.com. It was pretty lame, you just got to hear about the game and design a minifigure. I think it might have let you explore this laboratory thing.

Are you sure that was Lego universe, if I recall correctly you had download the free to play version, also yeah it will suck if you weren't paying, I payed full price for it and trust me the rest of the game is so much better then Avant gardens.

 

It was a character creator thingy back on when Lego Universe was a teaser icon on Lego.com. I thought the game looked pretty cool, and there was a little demo where you would make a character then walk around a room. That was all there was, besides an intro video explaining Lego Universe. The video was made to look all shaky and staticy, and there was a minifigure explaining "the link between our worlds is important so we must save our world and only you can help us!" or something like that.

 

I had know idea there was a demo prior to 2010, and that shaky cam thing was just part of the marketing campaign.

 

I don't even know if it can be called a demo, it's the best word I can describe it with. It was a conveyor belt with minifigure parts that you would use to make a minifigure, and choose their affiliation. Then you could walk around a small lab. Is that enough to be called a demo?

 

Well seeing as to how it was used to demonstrate what they wanted the game to be like then yes it was a demo.

Well as the title explains I ask if anyone on this forum played the MMOG lego universe, If you did then feel free to post a comment and if you didn't and just wanna talk about the game then also post a comment.

Nah, I could go but I don't really care for chima.

 

I personally support teridax returning, however though say there is a TV show I would want makuta to be built up until a big reveal, I would also want him to be portrayed like he was in mask of light.

I was never a big fan of MoL because it ruined a lot of characters for me, (including Teridax). 

 

 

Well I quite liked how he was portrayed in that movie, he came off as very intimidating and I loved his voice, also he wasn't a total moron like later lego villains.

Don't lie to yourselves, Bionicle underwear would be genius. You know you would buy it.

 

In terms of a video game, Hero Factory never got one, but it has had many smaller games made for it. If I remember correctly Chima got a l MOG or something along those lines. I really can't remember. I hope Bionicle gets one. I would imagine it to be real cool. If new Bionicle is successful, I'm sure we'll see a video game, just not right away.

I would be wearing the Bionicle underwear on the OUTSIDE of my pants! 

 

I'm curious to see what Lego can do with a Bionicle video game. They could make it similar to most of their other minifigure-based games, or they could try something new and innovative. 

 

Who doesn't love everything you can think of branded with Bionicle?

 

As far as a game, I'd like to see a Bionicle MMORPG, one made by a PROFESSIONAL game developer.

 

I totally agree(LOC online sucked), if they did make one I imagine it would involve the player as a matoran fighting those spider things and maybe some other enemies(assuming there will be others).

With HF seemingly on it's way out this got me thinking about how it could have been saved which then gave me the idea to make this topic, so if you had control over hero factory how would you have changed the theme?

P.S Please don't turn this topic into a giant rant about HF.

Regarding the gender ratio thing I have this to say, I wouldn't mind them being more balanced out gender wise, however if they do so I would wish for it to be a whole new toa/master team, I don't want lego to change the older characters too much(and that includes their gender).

 

 

Today's teaser is heeeeeeeeeere! https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/+LEGO/albums/6063364990839183457

I'm a bit disappointed with this one, it doesn't give anymore information about bio 2015 just some behind the scenes stuff, all we got is a better look at the new head piece(which reminds me of the toa metru heads). Also am I the only one who's getting sick of hearing about the mask of creation, seriously it's just a mask there's gonna be more to this new line then just that.

 

 

Really? Is that the only thing you gleaned from the pictures? XD

Because I totally noticed the industrial backgrounds present in almost all the painted concepts!

That leads me to believe this story will start in a Metru Nui like setting.

 

Also, looking at how the mask attaches to the head, forget the traditional axel pin set up.

 

The concept art is clearly from very early in development so it might not represent the final product, and I'm only seeing this industrial city in one of images, as far as I'm concerned the others could be anything. Also I noticed the mask attachment points from the first time I saw the 360 degree view of the mask.
