I think the new story's alright except that it kinda reminds me of Ninjago's first year. This will be interesting to see how the story pans out, although I still want to see what happens on Spherus Magna.

Very excited about this artwork.

I like how most of the characters do resemble their earlier counterparts. And it looks like gears are back! Lewa's kinda ugly in my opinion, though.

Not sure about how I feel about this being a reboot, but it looks pretty cool.

Miscellaneous parts packs. I never got any of those when they came out.

Weird. My Lego Magazines never came sealed in plastic - the comic was always attached with a removable glue to the inside flap of the magazine.

Giving the sets collectible underpants instead of collectible masks.

Some of the buttons at the top seem a little cluttered, but I'm glad the dead links are gone.

I'm really only looking for comics still sealed in plastic with the Lego Magazine. It sounds like yours aren't sealed?I don't think mine were sealed when they came with the Lego Magazine? Were older comics sealed when they came with Lego Magazine?

Which Bionicle comics are you looking for? I have several Ignition and Glatorian comics (and a few Hero Factory and Lego Star Wars ones if you're interested in those).

I like Kohlii Heads or Bonklers.

KNIGHTS KINGDOM HEADS Nooooooo bring back the axles! I agree. Or at least I hope the new mask design can be compatible with the old heads.

Hooray! That mask looks like Vultraz with antlers.

I'm pretty sure that the back part of the Toa Mata foot fits two axle peg lengths?

Honestly, having more Turaga never really mattered to me. We had other characters like the Rahaga who weren't Turaga but basically fulfilled the same role.

I think my Keelerak had white rubber bands but my Boggarak had yellow ones. Yea, that's pretty strange.

Matoran. The word Tohunga sounds kinda like 'fungus' to me for some reason.

I just disliked the arm lenghts and the fact that their masks weren't compatible with other heads. I did like the body design and weapons, though.

I'd like them. Having recolors of Kanohi is always nice for MOCing. Mask packs would be fine too.

I'm going to split this post up by categories: Sets: Collectibles: These were definitely best 2001-2004. I felt that from Rhotuka on, collectibles tended to be more of projectiles than collectibles. While this is also true of the Kanoka, it seemed there was still a larger variety of different Kanoka to collect (or it might be because of nostalgia for the Throwbots/McToran disks ).Small sets: I liked the 2001-2003 and 2006-2007 small sets best. From 2001-2003, the small sets were adorable (especially the McToran if we include those ), and still had functions. The 2003 Matoran in particular struck a good balance between functions, poseability, and aesthetics. And between 2006-2007, while the Matoran lacked functions or new parts, their designs incorporated already-existing parts in ingenious ways (Bohrok foot for torso in 2006 and reuse of Toa Hordika armor in 2007 were awesome).Canister sets: I honestly liked 2003-2005 the most for these. Sets like the Rahkshi, Toa Metru, and Visorak had a good balance between functions, poseability and aesthetics (like the 2003 Matoran I mentioned earlier). Plus not all of them were humanoid. Large humanoid sets: If we only include large humanoid sets here, I'd say 2004-2008 were the best years for titans. 2004 and 2005 saw custom torso designs, poseability, and gear functions. While 2006 and 2008 titans no longer had functions, I liked their aesthetics and poseability, and titans like Maxilos, Gadunka, and 2008 Takanuva had pretty creative designs.Large non-humanoid sets: 2001-2003 had some great Rahi and vehicle designs with functions. Likewise, the 2008-2009 vehicles were awesome too. Story: Setting: 2001-2003 had the most emphasis on the setting, thanks to the MNOGs, and I felt that we got to know the island of Mata Nui better than the other locations. Later, we saw other locations, but they weren't as well fleshed-out compared to Mata Nui. I think the focus on setting is part of the reason Bionicle felt so mysterious in its early years. Characters: 2001-2003 were outstanding for the depth given to the Matoran and their daily lives. However, I felt that 2004-2005 had the best character development with the Toa Metru. After 2006, a lot of introduced characters tended to be more dark and calculating, like the Piraka and Barraki.Complexity: The story was definitely most complex 2007-2008, when the web serials were introduced and let us see side stories with characters not seen in main story. In addition, this part of the story felt like it was wrapping up loose ends from previous years, and for once we finally got to see what Makuta had been plotting all those previous years.Looking at these, I feel that each year had its own different strengths and weaknesses. Set-wise, 2001-2004 had the best functions, while 2006-2010 had the best poseability. Story-wise, 2001-2003 emphasized the atmosphere while later years emphasized the characters more (or that's how I see it ). Honestly, while 2001-2004 are the most nostalgic years for me, I can't really say that they're necessarily better than later years. It's mostly a matter of personal taste, but personally I liked all the years of Bionicle (not sure about 2015 yet though, we'll have to wait for that). NOW LET'S GO BASH ON HERO FACTORY!1!1! Just kidding.

Artakha and pre-mutation Karzahni, the rest of the Toa Hagah, the Le-Matoran and Onu-Matoran Kohlii teams, and perhaps Mavrah. I would have a hard time finding all those clear parts after opening the box. Imagine what a headache the instructions would be.

Saw this a week ago, so it isn't really new news for me. Anyway, I would be interested in these. Edible Lego bricks would be awesome!

Don't like this. Even though I don't really read the Lego magazine contents as much as before (because Bionicle ended ), I think this encourages the message that "Lego is for kids" and whatnot. Instead, I think that when a person becomes 13 or older, Lego should send out a card or something with the Lego magazine that asks if they want to continue their subscription or unsubscribe. This way, people who outgrow the magazine have an option to cancel their subscriptions, but TFOLs/AFOLs can still get the magazine.

I don't remember, since my first non-Duplo Lego was a bunch of donated bricks.

Still have a subscription but I don't spend as much time reading the content as I did when I was younger (back when Bionicle was still around ).
