LimeFlavouredLibertarian24 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 The bionicle fandom and constraction in general seems to be at a cross roads as to what to think about bionicle getting cancelled. So I'm wondering what your first reaction was when you heard that bionicle was getting cancelled again. I also made a strawpoll to have some concrete evidence of what the fans think http://www.strawpoll.me/10881495 3 Quote http://limeflavouredlibertarian24.tumblr.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Keksalot Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 My heart just sank. G2 was a heavy dose of "childhood enhanced," save the for the inferior story; but the line was in its infancy, and there would be plenty of time for it to match G1 in quality. Now, I don't really have a hobby anymore; assuming gaming doesn't really count as a hobby. 2 Quote Rule #1: Always listen to Kek. Rule #2: If you break rule #1, kindly don't.

Tahu3.0 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I was very surprised as I thought it was selling enough to last 3 years but it seems not later in the day I went to Chillys and I was in my phone in BZP almost all the time there.

Pohaturon Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Man, you really really do like your strawpolls, don't you? My reaction was a bad mix of sad, dismayed, surprised and dumbfounded with a tiny bit of angry sprinkled on top - when the announcement came, mind. When I started reading through the threads talking about the cancellation, a whole lot more of angry got spilled into the mix. 1 Quote Stone rocks Model Designer at The LEGO Group.

Tuuli Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I am heartbroken over the cancellation, for after all we waited all those years to see the return of Bionicle, Lego makes it terribly, and then it dies before it has a chance to get better. Unbelievable. They hyped us all up, they even went as far as to forge new solid 14k masks, and still we were all let down. It's almost like Lego knew it was going to die from the first year. But I will still hold hope that some better constraction theme, or even a G3 will one day rise up and take the world by storm. They tried to reboot the story, they brought back old characters and completely wiped their colorful history, while ruining their personalities and borrowing old visions from the original run. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny7092 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) I felt very sad because this was a big part of my childhood. It's like the The Amazing Spider-Man movies in 2012 and 2014 (ever watched these movies) all over again: being a reboot that gets cancelled as it lasted shorter than the original series. I was so looking forward to the planned third year, but it turns out that it never happened for some reason. I cried in tears.

emily Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) I watched Journey to One when it went live at midnight. When things started taking their turn in the last ~10 minutes or so, I was like "hm, didn't think they'd take the story this far" but didn't think anything more of it. I had figured that, even if Bionicle had been canned, they wouldn't have had enough time to adjust the end of the series accordingly. And then the Toa flew into freaking space and I kind of lost it. In a good way. I just couldn't believe what I was watching. Then I spent the wee hours of the morning in a sort of euphoric bewilderment. Bionicle's dead again! I'd already come to terms with the prospect of the line ending, thanks to the last time and thanks to reading the signs well in advance this time 'round. I was a little miffed there won't be a proper Makuta set like the rumors went, but combiner Makuta is ok. I love Bionicle, but I've never really been able to muster much sadness for it's ending. It's gotta happen sometime, right?

Toa Smoke Monster Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 While I wasn't as heartbroken about it ending this time as I was when Gen 1 bit the dust, I was saddened we weren't at least going to get the third year of the theme. I really wanted to see Makuta get some more screen time in the story as well as see his interaction with Ekimu after their battle in the story. (I still haven't seen Journey to One yet, but I guess that Makuta doesn't get the most story in it from what I've read.)
