Kalija From Indian Lakes Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Would you like to see build-able Bionicle sets, like the McToran, return to McDonald's or otherwise?I thought this would be a good move to fit in the inhabitants of Okoto. If you would like to see these again, how would you want it done? How should it be done if it were to happen? Quote all this is temporary.Follow me on Twitter! @sean52711I'll follow back.

randomreviewerbros Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Yes definitely! That would be amazing if they did that kind of thing again at McdonaldsI would want it to be something like the Mctoran, maybe just a set of six villagers (not sure if they remain being called Matoran in 2015) from Okoto which just feature a collectable mask or some special exclusive part in each of them or something like that 1 Quote Go check out our Youtube channel!

One of the two.Personally I'd like to see something a bit smaller than the official Protectors to differentiate them. That is, if it could be done right. The McToran had perfect height vs Turaga and Toa, so something along those lines. Quote all this is temporary.Follow me on Twitter! @sean52711I'll follow back.

Axilus Prime Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Yes. Let's return to proper Bionicle, however small, being released at MCD. Not those silly rubber figurines that you can't build or do much of anything with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopekemaster Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) I would absolutely love that (even though I literally never go to McD). Maybe they could be the "regular" Protectors? Which might, conceivably, be smaller than the "elder" Protectors? EDIT: Oh, and I only mean this in a "McToran" (as in, having real LEGOs) sense, not those little rubbery things.

Not those silly rubber figurines that you can't build or do much of anything with. That would be nice. But if Lego had their way they probably WOULD still release actual Lego toys when they did Happy Meals. The problem is that McDonalds got too many complaints from parents whose kids had trouble putting together the sets (or just needed help from their parents when the toy was meant to keep them occupied). These days they insist on toys which are complete right out of the package, hence the "silly rubber figurines".

Toa Green Ninja Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) YES! And I had the most amazing idea yesterday: Protectors in Happy Meals. But get this... they would be CCBS versions of the McToran (like, the exact characters), with the signature disk launchers like the upcoming Protector sets have their six stud shooters.

specsowl Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I was talking today with a few people about a McDonalds promotion, but no one seems to think its a thing, mostly because it would be too expensive. The price of plastic has gone up and though I would LOVE some tiny guys, it doesn't seem to be in the cards. Also Lego hasn't done anything with an actual set since 2001, which is a tad disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banana Gunz Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I wouldn't count on it, and I wouldn't want to see it.

What do you think? Seeing as the Protector sets are $10 a pop, I can't really picture them as Happy Meal toys even if Lego still did food tie-ins and McDonalds still allowed toys with some assembly required. Not unless Happy Meals got a lot more expensive. Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like I said, I'd rather not have to deal with ebay, where you have to pay for shipping, worry about quality/truthfulness, wait for a long time, struggle to find a seller who has all that you're looking for, etc. Just going to the store and buying them is a lot easier for me.

~Valuuk~ Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 hm... that's a shame, 'cause a MCtoran kind of design would fit really well here...

Maybe there will be future sets with little mini-build villagers instead of Skull Spiders? I'd like to see that. If they redesign the toa down the line they could include them with these "mini-villagers". I like small villagers in general. They can be very simple, unique, diverse, fun, and easy to use.

Maybe there will be future sets with little mini-build villagers instead of Skull Spiders? You know, that's not a bad idea at all. It'd allow for conflict in villain sets the same way the Skull Spiders provide it in the other sets. On the other hand, even a McToran-style build would be significantly bigger and more complex than the Skull Spiders, so it would be easy for people to perceive them as unnecessary additions that inflate the cost of sets. I really think that, since the villagers seem like they'll be the same "species" as the Protectors, the easiest way to go about making them would be to just use parts like theirs to build custom villagers. That would promote creative building while allowing for a diverse cast of characters. 1 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banana Gunz Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 It would bug me a little if all the villagers have the same mask and it's not just the protectors.

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Apparently the Protectors ARE the villagers but also the elders.

Tahu3.0 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 wish it could happen but it wont happen because things have changed especially Lego because Lego from 2001 and Lego of 2014 are very different of how they handle there sets in places.

Munty Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 The protectors seem more akin to turaga than matoran so more secondary sets would be nice (especially if they're better looking!) Remember the Toa Nuva stuff in mcDs though? They were just cheap plastic 'toys' not lego at all. I think if there's a promotion that's the sort of junk we'd get stuck with these days...

Makuta_of_Oz Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 They might do so for the new Defender villagers. The ones in sets are village elders, just like the Turaga, and the villages of that day were in McDonalds Happy Meals. If they're keeping 2015 as parallel as I think they are to 2001 then they'll likely do it. Quote If you use correct grammar in your posts (or try hard to), place this in your signature.
