Tahu3.0 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I wanted to make this topic because of the lack of topics here and the posts I might get with this topic cause honestly 2.0 came out when i was 10 and I really was not even aware of the change from the Bionicle system to the CCBS system even if they where super obvious so what we're you're reactions.

Sybre Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I saw Furno first and thought he looked interesting. I thought, "Oh, that's cool," even though the sets turned out to be pretty basic when they came out. 1 Quote mindeth the cobwebs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonkle Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Being uneducated in the ways of Lego as I was then, I took no notice that the system was new. At the time, I didn't even appreciate the sets at all. I preferred 1.0 at the time. 1 Quote I been away a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumiki Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I loved the change because it meant that there was an upgrade to the stagnant constraction system that we had had, in some form, since before Bionicle began. The building community has proved the worthwhile addition of CCBS to the LEGO pantheon. 2 Quote avatar by Lady Kopaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1st Shadow Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I'm pretty sure my first words upon seeing a teaser for the 2.0 sets was: "What the heck is that? That doesn't look like LEGO at all!" Then I got a better look at how the new system worked, and it grew on me. 1 Quote ~Your friendly, neighborhood Shadow ~Credit for Avatar and Banner goes to NickonAquaMagna~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Imrukii Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 "Huh, cool. A new building system." *looks at ball sockets* "OKAY, THIS IS THE BEST!!!" Then everybody hated on it when just the idea of it being introduced with BIONICLE was brought up not to long after...... 1 Quote Quote: "Love has no fear, and no vengeance." | :i: | Andekas ⴳ A RUDE AWAKENING - A BIONICLE G1 Continuation and Video Game Project (ARTIST AND CONCEPTUALIST) | I am an ENFP, that is my Personality.

Valendale Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I don't think I really reacted that much, besides maybe thinking that it was a little weird. I guess I didn't expect it to become the dominant system of constraction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aanchir Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 The new building system was what actually got me into buying the sets again (I hadn't bought any sets from the first wave of Hero Factory). Between the assurance that I would no longer have to deal with joints cracking and the sense of visual unity and functional versatility the building system offered, I was extremely excited to try it out. I started out buying just a couple sets but was quickly hooked. One thing I was particularly struck by was how much the 2.0 Hero Factory sets reminded me of the Toa Mata. They were more or less the same height and width, but with much greater articulation. They had bright, systematic color schemes and an affordable price. They also did some creative things with weapons — instead of single-piece weapons, most had creative weapons custom-built from an assortment of shared pieces. Of course, they weren't flawless. They lacked any kind of armor to fill out their backs, which was easy enough to fix in MOCs but still a mark against them as sets. Their helmets, while more customizable than typical one-piece masks, still felt somewhat generic. Story-wise, while I hadn't been too attached to the Hero Factory story prior to getting into the sets, I had followed it in some capacity (it helped that it was fairly simple), and I liked the idea of introducing a way for heroes to be upgraded routinely without relying on some kind of random mutation or deus ex machina. While the idea of a full hero upgrade was treated as revolutionary (because at that point in the story, we'd only previously seen minor refittings), it was still a good way to establish a means for hero redesigns to fit into the story without a whole lot of explanation. They were more like costume changes than magical transformations, and I was glad that Bionicle G2 also took more of that same approach instead of making character upgrades feel like such a weird and unnerving experience. Overall, my opinion was very positive! 3 Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan McOwen Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 When I first saw the leaks, I was bewildered as to how the heck they actually worked. But then BZP reviews started to come in, and I got hyped. 1 Quote I inadvertently predicted Vorox armour's use in G2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
