Using Netflix to binge watch Agents of Shield already... Four episodes of Bionicle: Journey to One will be an easy addition. I just hope its decent enough to be aproved by my critical 21 year old opinions and spark nostalgia in me the same way the 2015 sets sparked nostslgia.

Relax on your fishing trip. Meditate, stare at the waves; bring your sanity back before we send you to deliver "the shipment"

This should have a *Spoiler Alert* for your comic. Well done piece of work

Wow, well done and very descriptive! I love the word use in your story.

Anger is a Ta-Matoran! Of course

Yeah I see Vakama's father as Lhikan in this story. Dume; I don't know if he should be another Protector of yore; or one of Vakama's comrades since in the original G1 story Dume was an old Turaga both when Vakama was a Matoran and later as a Turaga... But G1 age is a bit messed up since Takua is older than all of them; yet looks pretty young compared to Dume or Vakama!

I find it rather cool that Mata-Nui's strange topography was an event of being "artificially created." Mata-Nui did follow a few natural rules (Mount Ihu looked like a former volcano; which makes since because the Mangai volcano was right next to it; replicating the movement of real volcanic hot spots. With high enough altitude, it makes sense that there was snow on Mount Ihu. Onu-Koro looks like it was under a volcanic rock flow from the inactive Mount Ihu volcano. Le-Wahi and Ga-Wahi are perfect topographical matches to real tropical islands. The only odd ball environment is Po-Wahi; which there has no reason to be a big desert so close to tropical areas...) So for a malfunctioning robot; the environments were extremely well crafted.

Let the hype begin! Glad to see so many 2015 villains have returned along with Umarak. The Toa will have a lot of work to do!

I know some of the stars above Mata-Nui were fake, its on the BS01 article about "Toa Stars;" with Toa Stars themselves the most obvious fake Stars along with the Red Star.

Yes if the quality of the story and the voice acting is good, I'm sold.

I think with some work you can get an account. I use MOCpages, and I know that the servers come down a lot (server repairs, crashes, fixess, ect); but they have enough reliability you should be able to get an account if you try enough.

I would love to see a Gen 2 "Metru." I thought it was a great way to contrast 2001-2003 with 2004-2005 storywise.

You got a real collectable set there!

50002942-1 Bionicle Villain Pack. Had a very limited release.

Voice acting, meh. Hope it's just the narrator. Animation was fun! Just hope the story presentation will be better than the Legend Reborn...

Of course, Time is the hinted mystery! Here are the hints I can think of: Toa-"Timeless heroes" suffering amnesia, come from space Temple of Time- Most sacred structure on Okoto, allegedly able to open portals to other world's. Mask of Time- Split into two pieces, comic depicts it using the G1 Vahi. So time is going to be a big element in G2; or Lego is planning for Bionicle to crossover with Lego Ideas's Doc Brown and Doctor Who

Here is hoping for another big giant reveal. But not a giant robot, been there done that.

It's true, as a 7 year old trying to play MNOG in 2001 I solved Ga-Koro and that was it. I wandered circles around Po-Koro for ever, until I somehow managed to solve the epidemic. Then I stumbled thru Onu-Koro. If I was really lucky I got to Le-Koro just to hear the Disco Wagner Music. I never got to Ko-Koro in 2001; and didn't get there until MNOG was Re-released several years later. Still that bit of Ga-Koro that I successfully completed was the BEST Toy commercial ever in my young mind. Not knowing yet that I was playing Takua, I was convinced the protagonist of MNOG was myself. That 7 year old me was visiting Mata-Nui; and that I found a magic gear which saved all the blue Bonkles from drowning; and then Gali showed up and kicked some can! I even tried sketching a stick figure comic of me saving Ga-Koro... That is why it is a bit annoying that Lego hasn't yet done any large scale world building for G2 (again, hoping for a good Netflix show here!). Kids actually CAN recognize when there is a big world and a story to be told. Why else do you think little kids who love Star Wars can name every starship seen in the movies? Besides as a Kid, by the time I was 10 I loved reading the Bionicle chapter books. It's the right age to be exposed to reading bigger stories, and Greg's books were on the shelf of every Wal Mart and bookstore. Again, pity that Rider Wyndham's new books aren't as widely distributed as Greg's once were. So here is hoping that Journey to One changes our perception of G2!

I thought the "Stars" of Metru-Nui was light from the thought processors of Mata-Nui. Hence the reason Ko-Matoran could predict the future with them; they broadcasted Mata-Nui's plans. It also explains why Star gazing was less important on the island of Mata-Nui since %99.9 of the Stars were real. However the Red Star projected artificial Stars which showed support functions of Mata-Nui in function; as in the Toa Stars, and the prophecy Stars seen in MNOG. I think the astronomers in Metru-Nui had more fake Stars to study, but the few fake Stars above Mata-Nui had very important messages. Now why the Great Beings would use artificial Stars a communication system is beyond me. (Connecting to my wild fantheory the Great Beings are the Forerunners from Halo, they both have the same taste in esoteric and large machines. Don't take me seriously on this. )

Interesting to see that Lego knew Bionicle was their most successful Toy line; and were ready to milk it all the way to the bank. (I actually had one of those toothbrushes as a kid, sadly lost the Hau which came with it) The funny thing is; I'm sure modern Lego has achieved bigger sales since the days of early Bionicle. Yet I feel this laid the groundwork for the marketing Lego does now.

Nuri is Hebrew for fire? Sweet.

I doubt Tuuli is Eurico. Tuuli said he has collected all the 2015 Toa. Eurico Silva was throwing Lewa out a window... The funny thing is that the debate in this topic has gotten so heated on both sides. After someone mentioned Silva I watched some of his videos and read the comments; and those comments were a pure flame war! And some of the current concerns for Bionicle stem from the current 2016 wave. I think it goes without saying; while the 2015 sets were well received; the 2016 sets have a very mixed reception. In that sense I think I agree that I am a tad concerned with some desicions Lego took with the 2016 Toa. However that doesn't change my opinion on the 2015 Toa being the best Toa in Bionicle history. With that said, if Lego wants Bionicle to be a long running theme, its future hinges on two things 1) the 2017 sets and 2) the success of the Netflix series. If Bionicle fizzles by the end of 2017, we can agree that it sadly was a dud. But if the line continues strong into 2018 we'll know that it has found its place in Lego's corporate vision.

Ask the Ga Matoran to take you to a De Matoran Village. Proceed to have a large rock concert that is so LOUD the De-Matoran will kick you out. While being chased by an angry mob of De Matoran look for any that have yellow eyes, and after the mob disperses follow the yellow eyed one home.

Pity they pulled them off the shelves once G2 arrived. I would love to buy a few of the Glatorian sets I missed. The Glatorian Mata Nui almost got me back into Bionicle in 2009 (After 8 years Mata Nui was finally a set!) but I passed on it then. I think all the late G1 sets are still on Bricklink rather cheap though. However I live in the Western US so we're you live is a long trip.

^Toa Imrukii; I want to know where this Toys R Us with G1 sets still on the shelves is. Sounds like a fun nostalgia trip.
