Portalfig Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 End of 2005 was when I first got into BIONICLE, but my first year was 2006 all the way.I wish I could have a pool.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peach 00 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 2006. I started getting the comics, and then the sets, and then BZP, and then procrastination... Quote On the day the wall came down / They threw the locks onto the ground And with glasses high / We raised a cry / For freedom had arrived On the day the wall came down / The ship of fools had finally run aground Promises lit up the night / Like paper doves in flight I dreamed you had left my side / No warmth, not even pride remained And even though you needed me / It was clear that I could not do a thing for you Now life devalues day by day / As friends and neighbors turn away And there's a change that even with regret / Cannot be undone Now frontiers shift like desert sands / While nations wash their bloodied hands Of loyalty, of history / In shades of grey I woke to the sound of drums / The music played, the morning sun streamed in I turned and I looked at you / And all but the bitter residues slipped away slipped away...

Squishyfrog Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Around 2002, actually. I was still a young tot, so I was hooked early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soran Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I got hooked on bionicle in 2001. I actually got the sets and magazines and such. I was really young though and couldn't read the comics, but I looked at the pretty pictures. Later in 2003 I made my parents read me the comics and I would always correct them when they got a word wrong like Toa or Rahi. Sometimes they would ask why I needed help reading if I always corrected them... Good times...~Soran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mesonak Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 2001. I'll never forget that one, faithful trip to McDonalds.....Can't believe I have to credit McDonalds for becoming a fan of BIONICLE, but alas, that's the way the cookie crumbles.After the Tohunga (or McToran, whatever), it was only a matter of time before I became hooked and acquired all the Toa Mata.

fishers64 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 2005. Hooked by Mr. Farshtey's books about 2004 and 2005. Legends of Metru Nui was the book that sealed my fate, I believe.

Shyyrn Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 As I expected, most of the people on BZP seem to have become fans in 2001. However, a surprising mix of latecomers are present, and that's nice to see. I thought I was the only one! (I joined up in 2003, after seeing the Rahkshi in a LEGO catalogue). :lol:Thanks again to Bambi for making the poll,Shyyrn Quote "Let me realize that my past failures at follow-through are no indication of my future performance......They're just healthy little fires that are going to light up my resolve."

The Mask of Ice Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 2003 all the way, I guess. Being four years old at the time, I don't really remember much, other than that I bought a Gurahk, a Kurahk and a Lerahk.

Toatapio Nuva Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Good old 2001. I got many sets that year, but it was in 2002 that I got interested in the story as well.

a goose Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I first became a BIO fan in 2001, but I was a bit late and didn't get any sets 'til 2002, when I got a Nuhvok.

Makuta Matata Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 2001. But I really became connected with the Bionicle community in 2005. I joined BZP in 2007 or 2008. Quote Three on Three - Memoirs of the Dead - Winner!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RahiWatching Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I was there from the beginning, my first set was Gali Mata all the way back in 2001. However, it wasn't really until 2003 that I really became aware of the storyline. Although from that point on, while I still bought the sets, the story was the main reason that I was into Bionicle. It's really the only reason I'm still here a decade on (that and the wonderful BZP community of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hexann Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 When I was three I remember seeing Lewa Nuva and asking my dad if I could have it he said no but, I did get the bionicle movies by the time I was 5 I had all three when I got to 6 that is when my interest in bionicle started acting up I blame my father for addiction of bionicle. My first sets were a Rahkshi Toa Nuparu and Hakann. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inferna Firesword Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 2003 for me. Technically I was knowledgable of it beforehand, because of my younger brother and cousin, but I didn't get hooked until I read the MoL novelization. -Inferna Quote Reborn: a new epic by Inferna Firesword Now recruiting for the Matoran Militia!

Taka Nuvia Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Got my Nuhvok Kal somewhen back when they came out, but it wasn't until the Toa Metru that I really got hooked.Therefore, 2004 .(Waaaait, I've been into this stuff for so long already?

Katuko Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I've been with this series since its start, but my first actual set was a Tahnok. Sucks to be a kid with no money, y'know. Nowadays I wish I had gotten some of the 2001 sets, or at least a few mask packs. I mostly got gold and silver masks. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roablin Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I first saw the previews in 2000 in the Lego magazines. I remember thinking they were really weird action figures that I'd never want. That was probably because they were only small pictures. In the begging of 2001, A kid from across the street had gotten in to them, and dragged me along with him. He claimed to be a master of Bionicle lore. I remember the first word I learned was "Kanohi," with the first two syllables pronounced like "canoe." I found out how there were six Toa heroes, all of whom were guys except for Lewa who was a girl. I was delighted to get Tohunga from McDonalds, and I acquired my first set, Pahrak, the following Christmas. A few years later my family moved, and our new library had Bionicle books and MoL. I ran home excitedly with Tale of the Toa. I discovered how many misconceptions I had believed.~Roablin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
