Spectral_Rain Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) Who said it only affected Bionicle? Honestly, who looked up Galidor in that time? Or Jack Stone or Power Rangers, or Slizers, or Dino Attatck.... I could go on all day. Maybe it affected other old, forgotten themes. And before anyone reminds me that I did look up Galidor, I only did that after the correction. ~W.12.~do you mean these power rangers? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lLsdaCVk3Kk/TTTAG2US1FI/AAAAAAACF5E/nVoYsOOmuDM/s1600/scg011711_1714_34.png because these are mega blocks, i have the yellow ranger, these are not lego Edited August 1, 2014 by spectral rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willess12 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Er, how did Power Rangers get in the list of old themes? Actually, I started it as a list of random things. Then I decided a list of old themes was better. Didn't realize Power Rangers was still there. And the whole Bionicle 2013 thing-- that post was full of mistaeks. ~W.12.~ On 9/29/2014, Greg Farshtey said: "Just wanted to say a quick something -- A lot of you guys are BIONICLE fans, many from way back.

Makuta Miras Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 What if next year's Ninjago (If it's staying, that is) will be constraction-based, and all of these Bionicle leaks are just to put us off the scent? Some ZX Ninjas could actually be pulled off fairly well using the parts introduced in this year's Chima constraction sets. *HYPE TRAIN derails* Nah, I'm kidding. *HYPE TRAIN sets off again with a turbo boost* This train must have a lot of fuel. Because it's going to be going for quite a while. As in, about another 4 months. Personally, I feel that if Bionicle will use HF heads, the Brain Attack head is the most likely option, seeing as it has slots for both masks and helmets and is also the newest non-specially moulded CCBS head. Heads with the mask as a part of the head would be terrible, and so I hope that Lego won't go down that road. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soaring Strawberry Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Honestly When I started hearing the rumors I thought of the Starcraft 2 announcement, but instead of Tychus it's Tahu who says "It's about time!" If it's real and we get commercials I might just make a video of it. I'm cautiously optimistic about the whole thing. There's no denying I'd love to revisit Bionicle and the places and characters I love so much. That being said, It's guaranteed to be a different experience because I'm older, and Lego has changed its approach to story driven products. I finally saw some Chima and Ninjago and they definitely had a "Saturday Morning Cartoon" vibe. That's not a bad thing, but if the story has the wrong tone for the situation I'll be annoyed. If Greg is on board that will help the transition from old to new. Based on Hero Factory it seems like the multi media spread will still be around, which is part of the reason I liked Bionicle in the first place (but the games better come on android...). It will be harder for me to get the comics since I haven't read Lego Magazine since 2008. I would prefer a far future continuation. I wouldn't even mind if they ret-conned some of the more minor things from the end to make it cleaner/clearer. There are just so many fascinating things that a continuation could address. There could be tensions between Agroi and Matoran due to differences between their cultures. I've been wanting to see New Atero ever since I heard the characters were to build it. A reboot is OK but it's retelling a story of which its primary mystery, who/what Mata Nui was, has already been revealed. Any old/new fan could technically look up spoilers of Bionicle 2.0 by looking at Bionicle 1.0. I would not like to see an alternate universe. By the time the last episode of Dark Mirror came out I was sick of that trope. Most importantly I want it to feel just as immersive as it did in 2001 with the Mata Nui Online Game. If it can do that, I think this effort will be successful. 1 New song parody: For the first time in forever (Bionicle is Back) Hi! I love drawing and animation!

specsowl Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I don't really understand the skepticism. I mean, for 10 years I saw people see leaks of Nuva"Fake and terrible"Leaks of Rahkshi"Fake they all look the same"Leaks of Toa Metru"SO fake why would the turaga be toa? Try harder"and so on. Honestly, being on a hype train is fun because even if it turns out it was nothing (which I doubt) the community pooled together with some really awesome ideas, conversations, and made new connections. I've been back for 2 days in like 5 years and already have been connecting with so many people who are all much older and yest still the same. I think Bionicle will come back, and if you are discouraged by the thought of crushing disappointment well then I say throw caution to the wind because what fun is life if you're too scared? And it's not like it's a huge deal anyways. Bionicle comes back, yay. Bionicle doesn't come back well then we move on and continue to let Bionicle be a huge part of our lives! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willess12 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I was really bored and suspicious, so I looked up anything I could think of in the Lego S @H search bar. I looked up Bionikle (actually spelled like that) and I found an old FAQ where Lego said they had no plans to bring back Bionicle. Why haven't they taken that down? I doubt it would spark new rumors; who notices that old thing anymore? I only found it because I looked up everything possible -- even elcinoib (Bionicle backwards).Just a thought. They took down the message on LMB. On 9/29/2014, Greg Farshtey said: "Just wanted to say a quick something -- A lot of you guys are BIONICLE fans, many from way back.

The Bionicle section in the FAQ (frequently asked questions), however, does remain the same. Hope that clarifies things.
