The world and the story, pretty much. The whole feel and atmosphere of the Mata Nui arc was mystical and captivating, then with the Start of the Metru Nui arc, when the larger world of the MU opened before us for the first time, things started ramping up in intensity. I guess the uniqueness of it all also contributed. There really isn't anything out there like Bionicle G1. The locations, the factions, the designs - it's all magnificent. Bionicle following be through my childhood also helped, doubtless. The collection aspect you mentioned was also there, but for me, nothing beats the story and the lore. Some think it got too overburdened and complex later on, but for my tastes, that was perfect. Whenever the question of favorite year comes up, I'm dumbfounded as I honestly can't choose. Whenever I 'relive' the various crises that befell the Toa Mata/Nuva, the retrospective adventures in Metru Nui, the perils of Voya and Mahri Nui and the final battle in Karda Nui followed by the actual final battle on Bara Magna, I'm conflicted. The serials are prime, the books are highly enjoyable. I love re-watching the movies too, and even if the two commercially released PC games aren't story heavy, I enjoy having some fun with them. I isn't strictly speaking the story, I guess after this lengthy tangent, rather the feel and atmosphere of the whole franchise. Bionicle is truly a special fictional universe indeed.

 

As for G2, which I count separately, I think a different kind of uniqueness is also at play. They obviously deviated from what G1 was like, but that's fine, since G2 is a complete reboot and is better off for doing its own thing instead of haphazardly trying to replicate G1. While the writing is dodgy, the 2015 webisodes were endearing, and I personally really enjoyed JtO, plus there is plenty of story to go around between the books and the graphic novels (to which I still need to get around). While G2 is definitely not on the same level as G1 and probably never will be due to nostalgia alone, it is still a worthy reboot and people who claim the story is shallow or that there isn't enough material are just blinded by their own bigotry, or surrender to their own little bubble of ignorance which could be popped with ~2 minutes of google research.

 

Basically, it comes down to story and atmosphere in both cases.

 

never thought of it that way

3D print one in any light colour and then paint it in chrome gold 

that looks nice too bad I didnt see it before
