Gipsy Danger

You asked, we told.Oh, my bad. That was on my end. But that "overly detailed" stuff makes the OLD Bio different that the rest.But BIONICLE shouldn't have to be different from the rest. Yes, it is clearly not classic System, but the fact that the majority of many of the parts made for BIONICLE could only be used in BIONICLE betrays one of the core ideas of every LEGO sets: interchangeability. Because they looked like no other TECHNIC, or even LEGO, line, they could not be used for anything but BIONICLE. However, once in a blue moon, a good, generic part was made (the Bohrok eye, or the Hordika neck) which could be used interchangeably between themes, giving them more of a longevity. So, when BIONICLE ended, it shouldn't be that big of a surprise that those parts are pretty much the only BIONICLE parts still produced. So yes, although BIONICLE is different than other LEGO lines, it is still primarily LEGO, and shouldn't be treated differently than the rest. (Also, intricate detailing in a small space can lead to thin plastic, causing eventual breaking in small, isolated areas, like the sides of the "jaw" on the '01 Miru.) Old Bionicle is basically techinc in a sense since they made it.What do you mean, "they" made it? Both systems are Technic-based and the parts for both were designed predominantly by Lego designers who specialize in Technic parts. The only difference is that CCBS sets don't include the Technic branding—but neither did the vast majority of Bionicle sets.Both? No, you understand HALF of it. OLD Bio had DETAIL, ccbs parts don't have any detail. ccbs have 50% "Technic-based" for the system because they don't have any detail. So do I.No, I think it's you who doesn't understand. The high detail of Bionicle was barely an aspect of Technic. Technic was, and still is, mostly defined by low-detail axles, connectors, beams, and functional elements. Things like fake pistons and joints were not an aspect of Technic at all. In fact, modern Technic parts are much like the CCBS, with large, smooth panels and mechanical details limited largely to parts that are actually functional. Fake pistons and joints were actually an aspect of Technic. Bionicle was a product of technic originally, and the product before it was the Slizer series. Both the Slizer and Bionicle products were apart of technic and because of that they were designed to look like robots so that is why you see all the fake piston's, mechanical parts and the functioning gearboxes in a part of G1.

Guys, this topic was just so some of you guys realize that they are two different things(BBS and CCBS). Why am I saying this? Because I saw all of your posts saying I like ccbs better than bbs. Its not one of those topics.

I think it was funny when the Doctor went bald for a few days

I saw it. It looks weird since I don't like "skylanders". Now the NINJAGO guys look cool...

I heard it on Lego.com. Also, I'm kind of color blind, so that's why I see the parts as glow in the dark. I am hoping for a miracle for myself to see the right color again.

@underlined, I said if you THINK the sets glowed in the dark. Also, I saw the sets, and they glow. I saw those kind of parts in monster fighters. You should check it again.

...I'm not sure where you're going with this. Are you saying toys based on a monster movie showed guts, or that a movie rated PG-13 (i.e. not aimed at children) showed guts? Neither of those is really equal to a LEGO toyline (none of their toys in my memory has had visible blood) suddenly releasing a toy slathered in blood. (Or are you maybe referring to the unfortunate shrink-wrapping of their reconstructions that renders their innards entirely too visible? ) @Italic, yes. Like Pacific Rim. Except that in Pacific Rim it was not those kind of guts. Now in Alien, underworld, that kind of stuff, showed some guts. Also, shouldn't you and toamarksurge be talking about what you guys don't like about g2??

I like the MORRO DRAGON! It looks so awesome.

Take your pick, please. If you don't see the poll, tell me.

That happens to me sometimes. Once I got a cut from practicing with my sword .

Whoa, WHOA!!! What's Lego Dimensions ? Also, that's how the mods explained it on the site Lego.

Ok, guys, so Lego is coming out with a Dr. Who set sometime this fall. And LEGO might buy the RIGHTS so they can make some sets from the seasons that Dr. Who had. I brought this up because I just think it would be cool to have Doctor Who. And its now Lego related since they are making a set and selling it this fall/autumn.

Hello!!! Today, I saw a bit of confusion about Bionicle being for older or little kids so I thought I would explain it further more. So old Bio, it was for older people because it was made by TECHNIC. TECHNIC was for older basically due to the power functions. That is what I meant for Old Bio being for Older. Now the NEW Bio, they used ccbs parts which Lego used for hf(hero factory), it was meant for little kids. Lego has certain audiences for products and now their bringing in little kids so when those little kids grow up, they should still like the new bio and that new bio will be for teens possibly. So which parts do you think is better? ccbs or bbs? CCBS is hf parts basically, and BBS is the detailed kind of parts which are TECHNIC. I could do a poll for this, but I don't want to risk losing this paragraph.

You are aware that we are, in fact, talking about a line of children's toys? Bionicle is made entirely for little kids. *Says the 29 year old before happily fiddling with his toys. Something being made for children should not be seen as a stigma, and conversely not everything made fo adults is to be praised. To paraphrase C.S.Lewis:" What could be more childish than to desperately want to be grown up?" Not OLD BIONICLE. THAT was for teens. The new ones are for little kids. Google the aduience for both Old and new BIONICLE isn't... all of Lego primarily for kids? :0 there's an entire LDD tab for technic panels, can't recall what the logo for that tab is though. :t @Italic, Not OLD BIONICLE. Google the aduience for both new and OLD Bionicle.

40 million seems to be a good size since Bionicle doesn't have to follow our way of life.

G1 forever! Agreed!

I only like the OLD. Not the new. Old always seems to be better.

I think Morro is the best villain.

What I don't like about it is that it has no detail at all. And its supposed to be for little kids.

I didn't get any sets because of the parts they use and I know Bio '15 is not for me. And that's my opinion.
