NorikSigma Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Wow. @wazdakka me too. I think they should have gone for a comic-con reveal, and not brick fair. From what I know, it's an AFOL thing, and AFOLs were skeptical of Bonkle since it began. Yet, there would have been a lot of attention at other stuff at Comic-con, so who knows. If they do an official statement, it's either a normal reveal or Brickfair though it would have been better at Comic-Con. 1 BZPRPG ARC 3 / Breaking Point Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that pretty much answers the question about how much you should rely on this for clues to upcoming product. It really annoys me when people put the most recent leaked stuff or evidence and ask Greg about it as if he would give them a real answer.

I have a question regarding bionicle, when you search up Bionicle it directs you to a coming soon page, this intrigues me. With recent leaks and all sorts of information setting a picture in Bionicle fans heads such as myself that bionicle is "No doubt" coming back. does this worry you and your work mates? No onehundred percent official confirmation is announced which leads me to believe that LEGO is keeping whatever Bionicle information they have to themselves. So if Bionicle would come back it's the pressure to try and block rumors for you and your workmates and if all the bionicle rumors are fake are you worried about your fans being disappointed and bringing an uproar of hate. Thank you! During my time with LEGO, I have often had to deny or refuse to comment on leaked images or leaked information related to BIONICLE, Ninjago, City and other lines. The alternative would be to let LEGO's competitors know way too early what was coming out from us, giving them time to produce knock-offs. In my experience, LEGO fans have the maturity to understand this. If there were people getting upset about this, to be honest, they should have the sense not to expect a LEGO employee to leak confidential information and they shouldn't be asking in the first place.

Sumiki Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Greg isn't going to confirm anything before an official announcement from LEGO, because he doesn't want to lose his job. This is enough evidence for me at this point - I'm pretty sold that it's coming back. At least at this point, if it doesn't return, LEGO will be trolling us. 4 avatar by Lady Kopaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorikSigma Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 It's pretty annoying that these guys are forcing Greg into a no-win situation for everyone. If he says yes, competitors win, Greg gets in trouble with boss. If he says "I can't say" it only goads more people to poke him about it. And he can really only weasel his way out of so many questions with these ambiguous answers.

Willess12 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 And if Greg say no, he's lying, then. (assuming it's coming back.) If I were Greg, I'd just refuse to answer question of the future. People can ask what they want, but they won't get anything. And, I just checked the Power Miners thing. It took me to Ninjago. My theory is as follows: Someone asks Greg. Greg points this out to Lego. Lego changes their website so that Power Miners search redirects to Ninjago. Greg points this out. Now no one trusts the search engine for S @H, and Lego's secret is safe. Or it's just a coincidence. Has anyone out there looked up Power Miners recently?

ToaKapura1234 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 So, from this I've gathered that the hype train is going really fast, several people have fused themselves into it (which will make it kinda difficult to get off once we arrive at our destination), and that all doubts have been erased from people's minds that Bionicle will be returning, which means the hype train is swiflty running out of carriages. I think we need a new hype train... a bigger one...In that case, join the hype spaceship Spaceship SPACESHIP!!! 2 Want to solve an exciting murder mystery?

Pomegranate Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Someone made this argument earlier and I think it'd be good to restate it: why would Lego save Bionicle's reveal for brickfair when they didn't say anything during Comic-Con, a much bigger and more widely known event? I'm skeptical of a BrickFair reveal.Maybe fan loyalty? Show a sneak preview of the new stuff at a place that doesn't get much media coverage and where people dont come prepared with sneaky recording equipment. Still doubtful, but I can see some reasoning for it. Maybe it'll be a very last minute thing, considering only just now the hype train hit 88 mph and started flying Edited July 31, 2014 by Pomegranate 1 .

Nato G Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Maybe I'm being way too conspiratorial here, but I think Lego is trying to cover their tracks now. Perhaps they didn't anticipate that anyone would actually go looking up Bionicle while they updated the website, and now we've ruined their little surprise. Besides, if Bionicle wasn't coming back, I don't see why Lego wouldn't just outright say so, just to put the rumours to rest.

Cub Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Howdy folks! Boy, it's been a long time (and a couple of name changes) since I've posted on BZP. Glad to be back, though. Feels...right! Sorta like sinking into an old familiar chair after a stressful day at work. Anyways, regardless of whether or not BIONICLE makes a return this year (and yes, I am personally a HUGE believer!), I'm sure glad this has happened. I feel like it has breathed new life into the community! In fact, it inspired a bit of a BIONICLE revival for me! I went online and ordered all of the original movies (all of my old DVDs were scratched up from here to Thursday!) and I've been watching them back to back. Good grief, the memories! The nostalgia! Looking forward to maxing out my credit cards as soon as the "official" announcement is made! And I'm certainly looking forward to spending the time between now and then getting back in touch with the community. You folks really are the best! BIONICLE fan since '03!
