I found this whole announcement very unexpected. Even with all the doomsday rumors going around, I'd figured that G2 would at least end up going into 2017. Looking back on the past two years, while I don't feel that I've been as engaged in G2's story as G1's, I did feel the new G2 sets had a lot of strong points - the 2015 winter sets seemed promising, especially since they 1) were able to reintegrate gear functions with poseability (a significant pro when compared to most of G1's later sets), 2) weren't clone sets, and 3) the Toa actually resembled their 2001 counterparts. I was actually looking forward to seeing the 2017 Bionicle sets, but I guess that's no longer going to be a reality... Maybe Lego can release Slizers/Throwbots G2 next?
