Makuta Master

I personally haven't bought any non-brick based Lego since Bionicle ended. I'd hop back on if they did it and did it well. The story definitely pulled me in. It was the first time I'd seen a Lego series brought to life so well, and at least in the beginning there was this big mystery to it. We didn't have much, just a vague robotic fantasy story set on some island. I guess what really got me wasn't exactly the story, but more the spark to my imagination that the story gave me. We knew about Mata Nui and Makuta, but they were represented by rocks. Bionicle created this world of characters and ideas that left so much open that fans like us could do what we're supposed to with any Lego sets...CREATE. They gave us an island, and we took the ideas and some of that magic and mystery and created an entire universe around it. Actually, it might be hard for Lego to redo Bionicle and get it right at this point. I still buy my share of random Lego stuff, but I was really thrown off when I went to my local Lego Store and saw Ninja Turtles, Lone Ranger, Marvel, DC, LotR, and other licensed products. There's SO much existing story to those things. Spidey fights Venom in NYC. Likely whatever I'd build would fit THAT world. Bionicle (before the movies and where I feel the series fell off course) made me imagine beyond Mata Nui and six Toa. And don't forget the Gotta-catch-em-all instinct to get EVERY VERSION of every mask or other ridiculous collectible. So much money spent on Kanohi packs...fun times. It might suck to have the series restart. In my mind those original Toa/Turaga/Rahi (and multicolored Kanohi) are classic... But if they can bring back some of that mystery, I'd love to see more Bionicle.
