Back in 2001, my mother took me to Toys-R-Us to get a Lego set. Of course, they had Bionicle, and the Bionicle canister sets were really the only thing that we could afford at the time. Any other system set with a similar price point was too uninteresting to kid me when compared to these awesome robot action figures. So, I picked up Gali and have been hooked ever since. It wasn't until 2004 that I became a dedicated fan, though. Up until that point, I mainly followed it because its canister sets were all my mother could afford to get me, and it had a cool comic series that kept my interest from dying out. In 2004, though, I had access to all of the storytelling material. I got to read all the books thanks to my school's library, I got to watch the movie, I had all the comics, and I had most of the sets. Because of the story, I was hooked for good and I decided that I was going to follow this series until its death. Fast forward ten or so years later, and I now own a collection of every piece of published Bionicle storytelling media. I still thirst for more things to collect.
