Downfall

... ... ... Well, that shows how much I know.

I should really look these things up first. Thank you very much for being better informed than me.

Please pardon my ignorance.

Hasten your step, matoran! Get the mask to safety! To which Koro do you belong? Never mind, just get there!

 

Ganto's mask.

Although I'm not sure, I believe it means "If I'm Honest," or something like that. By the way, there is a new and returning members forum in BZP Discussion. I don't think it matters at this point, though. Welcome to BZPower!

This forum is not quite dead yet. The BMP forums, though? As much as I like them, don't expect a response there. I believe the Mask of Time is just as powerful as the other masks. For an  in-story reason, Artahka had thousands of years to hone his talent with the Mask of Creation, and The Ignika basically controlled itself. Life and Creation are also handled by everyday beings on a certain level. Time is a different matter entirely, only being observed passively by everyday beings.

 

On a non-story note, the Vahi was scaled in power at the beginning of the series, and so it was extremely scaled up from normal mask powers. Masks later in the series had to be used quickly and efficiently to advance the plot. Another reason: if the Vahi could be used efficiently, whoever held it (at the point of 2003 onward, the Toa) would become extremely overpowered.

Congrats, you got the magic number!

 

Kuurahk.

Ah... the determination to keep going on, despite fear. I admire that. But, however well you're hidden, nothing can hide you from the Kanohi Akaku, or the ice slide that appears under your jumbled parts to bring the mask to me.

My Mask.

Behold, Black Friday.

Hi, and welcome back! I was worried, once I saw the date, but you should be fine. Thanks for continuing this project, I haven't viewed anything yet, but from the discussion, it sounds amazing. Best of luck in the future!

 

P.S. Honestly, this feels like peeping behind the curtain of the Biological Chronicle project. Thanks again for returning!

After a short delve into copyright law, I found that a copyright holds importance for a period of 28 years. But as was stated earlier, the real cut-off is whenever Scholastic and Lego stop caring, which is probably going to be around four more years, minimum.

 

Happy one-year anniversary!  

I believe that at this point, it would be inadvisable to try a G2 compilation. The only reason this project isn't under a lawsuit for copyright is because the books were written years ago for a toy theme. Anything much more recent would be much more risky, with copyright on the material still being somewhat fresh.

Utilization of a Kualsi and choice Shinesparking techniques net me a slice of pepperoni pizza and the mask. Thanks!

The Biomedia Project has the songs, and nearly every source of canon besides. I'm sorry I can't provide a link, but if you Google it, you'll find it. Hope that helped!

I have no idea what the 17 year spinny is. It looks strange.

 

It's a Ninjago Oni Mask. I have no clue as to the story significance.

 

The spinners are Toa Ekimu and the Mask of Control

Let's hope this works...

 

 

They didn't even change the name. How uncreative.

 

The set looks like the official version, down to the instructions. Is it lego quality plastic?

 

The capitalization issues on the package seem to stem from the fact that there are three proper names and three titles.

video games have kinda killed bionicle, since the story can now be played out without needing figures. on top of the fact that g2 bionicle was a bit of a commercial failure by lego standards, it'll be a while before more bionicle sets are released, if ever. the fans from g1 are doing a pretty good job keeping it alive though.

it would be pretty cool imo if they brought back g1, but with really detailed and complicated sets with very few "standard" pieces and made mostly custom.

Then they could just be marketed as action figures. In any case, if you want that, check out this Shapeways shop: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.shapeways.com/shops/iron-foam-armory&ved=2ahUKEwiqv87tufXcAhWFwVkKHcl3DaMQFjAAegQIARAB&usg=AOvVaw0xF6_S1CxM8W8YH3M9I8MT

To address your questions:

 

1. Addressing the future of the Bionicle line:

 

It is possible for more Bionicle sets to be released at a future date, but this is entirely unconfirmed.

 

2. A continuation of the G1 storyline:

 

Unlikely, to say the least. A new generation of Bionicle would have to appeal to many people, not just old fans who want answers to old questions. The plot points left over from G1 aren't exactly the best story starters.

 

3. The G1 style:

 

The generation 1 building style was rather heavy on original molds, many of which would have to be reproduced. The Toa Mata each contained several parts specifically produced for that wave. Think along the lines of most weapons, feet, arms, legs, masks, and torsos. The sets got more and more specialized the further into the generation you go. It wouldn't be particularly cost effective, to say the least.

 

We can only hope that a possible G3 becomes what we want. I personally would prefer an in depth story, like G1, but more articulate figures.

This is the song I was talking about earlier. It's mostly because of the final verse, which contains both the lines "but still the crown of stars appears" and "till Durin wakes again from sleep."

Both dramatic pieces with choir and organ. Why do dramatic pieces always have choir and organ parts?

Also, how do I post my story?

After looking through the library rules, it should be fine to just post it in the Epics forum. If you're looking for the button to start up your story, it should be in the top right of the screen. Of course, if your story is shorter (contained in a single post) then it should go in Short Stories.

There doesn't appear to be a forum for your purposes, though if there is sufficient fan content, it could be put in the Fan Created Media subforum of the artwork forum. If it's just a communication platform, however, I would recommend just putting it in your signature.

I believe that he was just supposed to be a promotional polybag, but if he were to be given a canon role, he would most certainly be a Voya Nui matoran, or even one in Karzahni, judging by his maskless head.

 

And yet, in the Bionicle fanbase, he has risen above his humble stature to become the absolute best-remembered promotional set of all time.

The 'they' referenced appears to be Makuta, but I'm not quite sure.

Unbelievably, this site has weird, ridiculous emoticons like a smiley with an afro, and some weird paddling people, and rubber hammers, and mighty morphing smilies, but no hugs. So I had to resort to outside sources. I apologize for the delay.

Greg added the Red Star's revival function because he wanted to do a "zombies in a space station" story, or so the tale is told.

 

I remember something on BSO1 about matoran on Mata-Nui not being able to be revived on the Red Star because it was outside the Matoran Universe.

No problem! It's always better to be safe than sorry.

(In regards to the review topic.)

 

This story reminds me of a poem in Lord of the Rings called the Song of Durin.
