The "Where are my pants?" guys! I got so many of the minifig bags of the Lego movie and never got him. I haven't given up hope yet though. Besides him though definitely Benny!

Tough question - I'd be torn whether to get one of the sets I missed out on/isn't easy to track down at the moment - or rebuy a set I love but whose pieces are scattered in my collection. If the former I'd get the special edition giant Mata Nui, Karzahni or the Manas most likely.

I think a fresh start is most likely - a continuation while it could work, I think would require a lot more work for them to balance having the prior history, whilst not making it too inaccessible for the newer audience. That being said if you're going to revive a line with such a history, you'll definitely want to reference its history here and there - so in that case it would be a continuation. Practically thinking though what I imagine it to be would be a reboot. Second question is hard to say - I think the best indicator of what a new Bionicle line would be like would be the current Chima line. I really like a lot of the sets, but unfortunately don't know too much about the story.From what I have seen though I think the lore is pretty good but not as good as Bionicle's (even the early days where it wasn't as extensive - a fairer comparison I think since the Chima line hasn't been around as long). I'd have high hopes - but it'd be very hard to exceed the heights of the original.

I have BZP on my browser links bar and tend to check it daily, but don't venture to the forums/browse indepth outside of the occasional downtime I get. Quite a contrast to my younger self.

I found BZP first in late 2006 after hearing on the Lego.com message boards that Greg F posted here. Instantly hunted down the site and was amazed to find he actually did!

I haven't for a while - but I do find the idea that things which I vividly remember as new are now older than the things which were ancient when I first joined and looked through the history. I feel so old.

BZPower is like a never-dying internet safe-haven. Happy (late ) birthday, BZP!

I can't really see Greg deciding to bring Teridax specifically - I feel his death was the grand climax of the whole original saga and bringing him back in some way or changing that ending would be a major thing that would be too important to have happen if the line didn't come back. However, from the quotes in this thread and general intuition, if they did bring the line back they'd be wanting to start a fresh story with a fresh evil - something easily accessible as the new audience wouldn't have been alive for a lot of Teridax's saga. That being said they could always have him come back as the villain and just re-establish him as basically a new character and have the fact he is Teridax a side fact, almost an easter egg for the old fans. While there's nothing wrong with doing that, it does seem kind of pointless in that you couldn't really refer to his past much without isolating newer fans to some degree and not referring to his past would basically make him a different character I feel. Anyway so I'm going to go with he isn't coming back.

Been following the rumours loosely lately - trying to not form any expectations though . I feel if they revived the line we could expect it to be as similar to Bionicle to the more recent constraction lines with the Bionicle theming and branding being used primarily for convenience (TLC would already own the licensing and copyrights for everything etc...) and for the fact it was a very well established and successful franchise. Beyond that I think it'd be a very fresh start with little connection to the original line beyond a few references here and there and the same similarities the current sets share with the Bionicle sets. Exciting if it happens though.

This is kind of similar to how I always pictured it - though more symmetrical. I have a feeling my mental image (and perhaps yours) was inspired partially by the various visualisations of the Ignika - the general shape of the mask has a few similarities (the basic shape outline, the rectangular part of the pattern and the "horns") which is suitable given their kind of similar importance. I do agree the circle bits on the bottom looks a bit jarring, I think it'd look better to remove them and bring more focus t the kind of wispy beard looking bits. Just what I think though, looks great and very suitable for the mask.

Hafu's pose in the picture makes him look extra smug - suits him perfectly. Great reconstructions also!

Wow! This was great, thoroughly enjoyed it! Very well made and definitely brought back some good memories.

On first inspection I thought this take on Onua was great minus the dark green which felt wrong at first. However looking at it further and thinking about it I like how it adds an organic kind of appearance to him - kind of like how they are meant to look. In that regards this feels like a more accurate representation of a Toa than the original sets, nice work!

I hope it's open to Australia - though I have a feeling it won't be. :/

Went to buy these for my brothers birthday and ended up buying two of each so we wouldn't have to share.

Two of my favourite things combined; I hope with caution.

Lions and Eagles purely because of the visual style.

Pink rastafarian mushroom lady.

Yeah I think since it has so much collectible value and that it's the only set they can get away with it, for example I was put off getting many of the Lord of the Rings sets not so much by the prices but by the fact there was so many of them. I think a single expensive set is better for a collector such as myself than a lot of cheaper ones.

I'm so glad I've heard good thing after good thing about the movie! Glad and relieved given how much I've been hyping over it to my friends. Now to just wait for it to come out here.

Similar feelings here - upon first inspection this was one of the sets I was thinking of getting. It seemed like a lot of fun and had a good variety of styles.

No way I'm going to be able to resist buying this Doesn't the design of the house change over time anyway? In the first seasons anyway I'm pretty sure I've seen rooms next to each other become separated and what not. I'm guessing once the series gained popularity they came up with a more consistent design to appease fans?

When you say minifugre series is that as in packets of minifugres you can collect? I suspect they will be pretty popular and some more playsets will come around. At last I hope so anyway.

Sorry if this has been brought up elsewhere (didn't see any news story on this?) but what do we know about the Lego Simpsons set images that have surfaced recently? How legitimate are they? If so is anyone else's childhood merchandising dream coming true? I must admit the criticisms of the minifigures looking a bit awkward is justified but as I've heard explained before that always tends to happen when translating the Simpsons' characters into 3D. Either way I'm excited.
