Got an idea for a project but I need some advice.

[Alrazvick]

I have been posting about it in the discord server but in short I decided that I wanted to try and do something for the Bionicle community in the wake of what happened with Masks of Power but so far it hasn’t gone well. No matter what I suggest everything gets shot down immediately and I am honestly starting to wonder if I should even bother at this point. I had hoped that with BZPower being a part of the LEGO Ambassador Network I would receive at least some kind of support or at the very least guidance on how to continue. Instead it has been mostly at best brutal skepticism to hostility and mockery at worst. Pretty much everyone is convinced that I am either wasting my time or potentially putting the community in danger by drawing too much attention from LEGO.

So the advice I am seeking here is if I should just give and pretend that I never tried to do something for the community in the first place or if I should try something else next.

[kawaii kitty]

well, what are you trying to do? I'll hear you out (in dm if you prefer)

[Edelgard]

I will agree that some users have been less than kind with their responses to you on the server, and that is unfortunate.

But you have also received honest, legitimate feedback from many people who were striving to genuinely answer your questions and provide you with advice. I cannot speak to the consensus - I have not been following the entire conversation - but my own perspective is that the idea you've been discussing carries potential for very high risk with very little sense of any reward (reward including a positive change to the status quo).

My suggestion would be to set this idea aside.

[Alrazvick]

The criticism I was thankful for. That’s not why I was disheartened. It was the general attitude. I got plenty of people telling me why my project would never work and why it wouldn’t do any good but basically nothing on how to improve it. That I was left to figure out entirely by myself. No one praised me for trying to help or come up with solutions. I tried to help and instead of it being appreciated I was treated as either a joke or an enemy despite my attempts to take every criticism into account and adapting my approach. Even my correspondence with LEGO Customer Service was nothing more than simply gathering information. And they at least were polite when they explained why they couldn’t help me.

What I am sick of is the hostility and cynicism. If this is what the Bionicle community has been reduced to then it might as well be left to rot.

[Alrazvick]

As for the project that I had in mind, I wanted to understand why Masks of Power was shut down by LEGO and how to prevent something like that from happening again. Unfortunately I started with knowing absolutely nothing about how to accomplish this. So I did research into Copyright Law, Trademark Law and Corporate Policy and I found a possible solution in the creation of an independent Legal Entity that could potentially formally negotiate with The LEGO Group. The reason for why I believed that it could work is because apparently it has been done before with other IPs and the reason for why they can involve those IPs is because as long as the Legal Entity is a nonprofit noncommercial organization and has an agreement with the holder of said IP it doesn’t infringe on either Copyright or Trademark.

Upon discovering this I began to work on a first draft of what I ended up calling the Bionicle Legacy Project. Which ideally would, in collaboration with The LEGO Group, create a fully legitimized archive of Bionicle media that could be made accessible to a new generation of Bionicle fans. Preferably in time to celebrate the franchise’s 25th anniversary.

What I drastically underestimated was how monumental such a task would be, especially when dealing with a community overwhelmed by cynicism, skepticism and hatred towards The LEGO Group.

I realized that if this project is going to have any hope of being successful I had to start extremely small and gradually work my way upwards, all while trying to learn as much as possible on the way. That’s why I came up with the Foundation Project. A purely fan driven initiative that seeks to educate the Bionicle community about the nature of Copyright Law, Trademark Law and Corporate Policy so that they can make informed decisions on how to ensure that whatever project they want to start won’t get too close to infringement and thereby force The LEGO Group to act against such projects.

 I reached out to LEGO for advice on how to ensure that such a fan driven project would be in compliance with the company’s needs and succeed in foster goodwill and trust between LEGO and its fans. Even though they couldn’t do much to help me they did show their appreciation and support for my project and encouraged me to continue without their involvement. 
 

Right now I’m just trying to figure out what I should do next. LEGO did point out that if I produce a much more developed and structured proposal that will be more in line with their current focus then they would be more than willing to consider that proposal. Until then they wished me luck and hoped that I would be successful in my endeavors.

I appreciate the additional comments here clarifying the nature of your suggestion. As someone who's not in the Discord, the first post of this topic is very vague and doesn't tell us anything about what the issue was.

While I can see you're frustrated and dejected about how this situation has played out, I'll admit that this comment doesn't sit well with me. If you're asking for feedback on an idea but only wanting praise and viewing anything else as an attack, that's not a good attitude to have. Obviously we all want to receive constructive criticism and suggestions on how to improve, but sometimes the reality is that an idea simply will not work. If that's the consensus of the feedback you received, that may unfortunately be the case. 

Based on what little information you've provided in this thread, I find myself feeling the same way.

This already exists. Between BS01 and the BioMedia Project, pretty much all Bionicle media (and even Greg's forum posts) have been preserved. These are long-standing sites, lovingly made and maintained by fans, that have rarely (if ever) had issues with Lego, and have long been used as resources by the Bionicle community. 

Your stated goal of creating a "full legitimized" archive insinuates that these two sites are somehow not legitimate. Whether you intended that as a slight or not, surely you can understand why the implication may have made some people in the community feel defensive or hostile?

While you may view this as cynicism, this is a very valid concern for many in the community. Working with Lego to build a "legitimized" archive would put the existing sites I just mentioned at risk of being shut down or losing traffic... and for what? You'd risk sinking years of effort by the Bionicle fandom just to put an official Lego badge on a functionally-identical site? You stated that you're trying to help, but I genuinely don't understand how this helps. What problem does this solve?

This part sounds much more helpful. A list of legal advice or resources would be of great benefit to future and current fan projects.

That said... it also probably won't make a huge difference in the long term. Lego is a huge company with deep pockets and lots of lawyers. If they choose to challenge and block a fan project, the creators of that project are very unlikely to have the money or means to launch a legal appeal. It's a story we've seen time and time again, with other brands and fan projects: creators can do everything right, and still lose.

Without seeing the relevant Discord chats, I can’t speak to any hostility you experienced. I’m sorry if members of the community made you feel attacked or unwelcome. But realism can often look like pessimism when the news is always disappointing. Scepticism and cynicism aren’t inherently bad things. And unfortunately, they’re well-warranted in this fandom. 

Lego has made their apathy towards the Bionicle brand and its community very clear. At this point, most of us feel that we're better off doing our own thing and not vying for recognition or conditional consent from an uncaring company.

Bionicle has always been about unity, creativity, and imagination... and we don't need Lego's permission to use those.

I'm also not privy to the discord chats, but I agree with everything @Nato G had to say, this idea seems pretty far-fetched and counterproductive. The Masks of Power debacle is nearly identical to an incident from the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom over ten years ago: a fan group called Mane6 developed a high-quality video game based on the property, My Little Pony, Fighting Is Magic, and received a cease and desist letter causing the project to have be reworked into a new project, Them's Fightin' Herds. There's really no way around it, but fan works exist in something of a gray area and companies get weird about it if the projects, particularly visual ones, start to look a little too well-made and professional.

BioMedia Project accomplishes pretty much everything you want to do. Masks of Power getting canceled and preservation of BIONICLE media are two totally separate issues. To my knowledge, LEGO hasn't done anything to stand in the way of the second concept. The only official BIONICLE lost media is stuff that physically can't be recreated, like the 2005 Rhotuka spinner challenge game.

I'm sorry to hear that your proposal was met with cynicism, but I do understand why the fandom would be afraid of getting on LEGO's bad side. It might not seem like it right now, what with the cancelation and the DuckBricks incident, but LEGO is still a lot more lenient with us than they are legally obliged to be. We seem to have a reputation in Denmark for overzealousness and obsessiveness, and every so often someone comes along who lives up to the stereotype and gives the rest of us a bad name. I first noticed it with the "Brick Back Bionicle" stuff between G1 and G2. The reason it's so paradoxical is because, while it's allegedly based on love for LEGO and BIONICLE, it usually has a weird undertone of hostility toward LEGO for canceling G1 or not doing G2 right.

The BIONICLE fandom, through groups like BMP, does currently have a tenuously functional relationship with LEGO and it makes sense that they would not want an outsider coming in trying to change everything and possibly making things worse.

[Alrazvick]

@Nato G @Master Inika

Thanks for replying and I agree with most of what you both said. I was going into this completely blind and with no idea of what would and would not work. That’s why I posted in the BZPower Discord in the first place. Before taking any action I needed to know what people would have thought about it and what I would need to change in order for it to improve. The criticism and feedback I received was absolutely crucial to my effort because, like you both pointed out, doing something reckless would have only caused harm.
 

What I didn’t like is that despite making it clear that I would never do anything without being absolutely certain that it would have the desired result, and explaining that as of right now I am still gathering information, feedback and experience, there were people who still treated me like an enemy more than someone who is trying to help. As for the lack of praise, I didn’t want to or expected to be seen as a hero or a savior, I just would have appreciated a least one person who wasn’t a hyper cynical jerk.

Ultimately what I want to determine is whether or not I should continue with my efforts despite the hostility or if I should leave before people decide to throw me out.

[Alrazvick]

@Nato G

Also allow me to explain what I mean with a legitimized archive. You are right that the BioMedia Project has already preserved all Bionicle Media but it does exist in a legal grey zone and it can’t exist in the open without LEGO being legally obligated to intervene. A legitimized archive on the other hand is something that they actually could support in order to celebrate Bionicle’s legacy. The benefits to LEGO would mostly be good PR but it could also be used as a marketing strategy to encourage the purchase of LEGO sets that are commercially available that are suitable for the creation of MOCs. It would also potentially create a market for Bionicle themed suggestions on LEGO Ideas. Especially if they are advertised on the archive. So in short it’s less about preserving Bionicle media and more about celebrating the franchise’s 25th anniversary and introduce it to a new generation. That is the core concept but I am still working out the details on how such a project can be made viable.

 

That being said this legitimized archive would not be complete, at least not initially, especially since LEGO doesn’t have full rights to some of the Bionicle media. As for LEGO trying to take down the BioMedia Project, practically it would be a futile effort and it would also damage their public image. The BioMedia Project is basically free advertising for those who would be interested in Bionicle. The only reason I can think of for why LEGO would have an incentive to target the BioMedia Project is if the company decided to make some Bionicle media commercially available again for purchase. A scenario I think is unlikely but even it were to happen the company does deserve to make a profit of an IP that they own and it would technically mean that they are willing to at least consider bringing back Bionicle as a viable and active IP.

All of this is still theoretical though and my research is ongoing.

Can you elaborate on this? BMP does exist in the open, and Lego hasn't done anything.

[Alrazvick]

@Lorentz

Plausible Deniability. As long as there is no hard evidence that LEGO is aware of the existence of the BioMedia Project they are not legally required to intervene due to Copyright Law and Trademark Law. That means that they have to keep their distance from the BioMedia Project in order to protect it. They won’t have to do that with a legitimized archive. In all honesty LEGO wants to support the Bionicle community but their hands are tied by law and corporate policy. Ideally the Bionicle Legacy Project would allow the company to openly support the community in a way that still benefits LEGO.

If Lego really wanted to support the community, they would stop blaming us for G2's failure instead of their own poor marketing, and make something other than a GWP and maybe a T-shirt using art they don't own, just to cling on to the the trademark. Honestly, I'm starting to wonder if Lego outright dislikes the BIONICLE fanbase. If they got over the failure of G2, they'd realize that a G3 would be a money printer.

We don’t need to worry about LEGO going after something like BMP, an archive and an original fan project are two totally different things, and LEGO has no history of objecting to fans publicly cataloguing (officially released) material. That being said, even if this was a concern, the way to do this would be to contact BMP and work with them to make it happen. LEGO would be a lot more amenable to an established group with a history of high-quality work than someone new coming along.

See this is what I mean by the weird hostility. Your claims are that LEGO wronged us by bringing back BIONICLE in a dissatisfactory way and that what they have done for the franchise since then is also dissatisfactory. Frankly, if I were a LEGO market researcher reading this, I’d have no idea what to make of it, because you clearly want something BIONICLE-related, but are only speaking negatively about everything BIONICLE-related we have done in the past several years.

Edited August 22, 2025 by Master Inika

[Toa Philo]

The sad reality about Bionicle projects of any kind is that LEGO can shut them down.
You can make an "official fan project" with LEGO's approval, but this changes nothing. LEGO could always say that they no long wish for the project to be around, even if it had approval before. Unless a contract was signed giving the fan project legal rights to the IP, LEGO can shut down any fan project.
If what I've heard is correct, B:MoP did get an okay from LEGO to publish on steam.
If anything, getting LEGO involved is more likely to get it shut down, this is what I believed happened to B:MoP as they got too "official" with them posting to steam, and LEGO can't allow that if they want to keep legal president over ownership of their IP's. A reason I think B:MoP being on steam was a leading factor for it being shut down is that B:MoP Legacy was not shut down, only B:MoP 2.0 was.

Thankfully, LEGO is pretty relaxed with copyright, relatively speaking.
You can make a fan project, and as long as you respect their copyright, and don't make any monetary gain, make sure you make it clear that it is a fan game, then you should be safe.
Pretty much every time LEGO used copyright to shut something down, it has been not fallowing this general guideline. And frankly, B:MoP got to overconfident with not being shut down over the years that they flew too close to the sun. (Putting it on steam + Allowing monetary donations)

To many people in the Bionicle community over the past decade have gotten a warped view of Bionicle as an IP and started using it as if it's something they own. But the reality is its owned by LEGO, your fan project is a fan project and not your "Official Bionicle Project".

I'm not saying G2 was bad, I'm saying it just seems as though LEGO would have brought it back again if G2 had fared better, and it seems as though Lego blames us for G2's failiure, even though the G2 marketing was somewhat underwhelming. The sets for G2 were great, but the story was so scared of falling to the fate that ended G1, that it removed the interesting parts of the story. I'm grateful for G2, I just think lego's treatment of bionicle should be better than a single GWP, or an Easter egg in a larger set (However, I am grateful for those as well, I would just prefer a little more respect for the theme that saved lego) Lego Ideas Bionicle projects have gone well over enough to be added time and time again, and Lego chooses not to make them, even though the process of getting an Ideas project through has a built-in way to prove people are interested.

If you’re doing this for praise, you’re doing it for the wrong reasons. You should do something because you want to, because you’re passionate about it. Praise shouldn’t be your goal. And from what I’m reading, people have offered genuine criticism- which is help. It’s up to you to make something of it.

Lego isn't "blaming" anyone. G2 just didn't sell enough to continue the theme. G1 was also cancelled for declining sales as well. Why do you think that G3 would "print money?" Bionicle fans are so few and far between that we barely managed to get 10,000 signatures for that Ideas thing.

We are a small, hardly vocal minority.

on the other hand, I probably spent 1000+ on Bionicle in the last two years. if it was being made today, that money would go to lego, and not random offerup and eBay sellers.

[Alrazvick]

Yeah getting praise was never the point. However the general negative attitude made me wonder if I should continue even if people don’t want me to. The entire point was to try and do something nice for the Bionicle community so trying to force things would have only been counterproductive.

I commend your commitment and persistence, for what it's worth. The main "negativity" seems to have stemmed from the fact that you didn't actually seem to have an actual plan. You reached out to Lego saying, "Hey, how can we work together for our mutual benefit?" when you should have (in my opinion) started off by presenting some ideas on how you could work together. 

[Alrazvick]

@Lorentz

That I understand and I realize that I should have been more forthcoming about the fact that I am still trying to formulate such a plan. I am still learning and gathering information and as for my correspondence with LEGO Customer Service I never expected the company to do anything aside from answering questions and that’s exactly what they did. I asked them if they would be willing to enter a partnership of any kind and what it would require for it to work. They answered by saying that they are indeed willing to enter a partnership but it has to align with their current focus, which right now is to encourage creativity and education in young children using their products. This current focus might change in the future however and if a proposal is good enough and doesn’t require much from the company then LEGO may consider accepting it even if it doesn’t align with their current focus. 
 

Right now I know that LEGO isn’t in a position to directly support anything I can currently present. But my short term goal is to continue building out a solid plan and present my findings to the fan community in order to receive more feedback and criticism. My long term goal is to have something ready for LEGO when the company’s priorities do shift or more ideally convince the company that it’s worthwhile to support the project anyway.

A canister set would be significantly smaller and cheaper ($10-$20), so $1000 would probably be 50-100 sets, depending on how bad inflation is. I doubt it would be $30-$40, because at that point, buying a used G1 canister set would be the same price.

The G2 Toa were $15-$20 back in 2015, so today they would probably be $30-$40. Assuming they did 12 sets (two six-set waves) then that's only $360-$480 total.

The G2 Toa were bigger than G1 canisters, and the price change caused by that could have easily damaged sales. If Lego were wiser, they'd make smaller, cheaper sets similar to the Toa Nuva or Metru, which would be cheaper. Also, Lego could just lower the price without reason, it's just plastic, they don't need to sell it for that much. It's unlikely, but possible.

Disclaimer: I'm aware that may seem sarcastic, but I genuinely meant it.

[Alrazvick]

I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about what I should do next with Bionicle. I started out with a vague idea and decided to explore whether or not it was a good one. Now I think I should try something different. Maybe instead of trying to start my own thing I should focus on doing my best to support others in the community. There are a lot of good projects out there that I think deserves to do well and if I can help with that it would be great.

[kawaii kitty]

go to lego ideas, and support projects there maybe? spread bionicle to other fans? try to contribute something of your own? enven just commenting here you are helping keep bionicle alive, even just a tiny bit.
