GregF Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Hello everyone, I have an announcement to make. Although it is sort of unfortunate that it is April fools, I just recieved authorization from LEGO to talk about this today, so I didn't want to wait. (Hopefully it isn't their April fool's joke on me!) Over the last few weeks, I've been in talks with LEGO about the fate of Bionicle. More specifically, we've been discussing the possiblity of it making a return in some shape or form. The intrest in the line has keep going strong, which is one of the reasons this came up. Although I went into the discussion not knowing where it would lead, I'm happy to say that its good news! Although the revival wouldn't mean having a full line of sets again, there would at least a few small sets, and at the very least, a continuation of the story again. I'm not going to talk about where that's going, but I'm sure you have a few guesses. I'm really grateful to you guys for sticking with this community through thick and thin, and helping to show that Bionicle really does deserve another chance. I'll be posting more information on what's going to be happening as soon as I can, and hopefully allowing you guys to be involved in the process. Untill then, carry on! I still really enjoy this community, and I am looking forward to becoming a more active part of it again. Best wishes to everyone,-Greg Farshtey "If you're wondering how he eats and breathes, and other science facts/Just repeat to yourself, "It's just a show, I should really just relax." -- MST3K
Squishyfrog Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 ah, how cruel would this be to the people who believed this to be true, then it turned out to be a joke =P
Dual Cee Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Well I'll just wait till tomorrow, good job adminastration, good job. I'm back!
CeeCee Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 I cant help but be skeptical about this. I dont want to look like a fool and saying "YEAAAAH!" Signature Guidelines: Avatar and signature total file size may not exceed 250 KB!
>_< Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Would be funny is one of these stories ended up being true. Who knows, with that many of them popping up.The question is, which one?
Makaru Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) I cannot wait for the fallout of this. Edited April 1, 2013 by Makaru Spoiler Alert
LaputanMachine Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Greg, for the sake of the sanity of the fans, you could have waited a few days. For me, BIONICLE was an epic science fantasy saga with a deep and complex lore, and was best when it was exactly that in its later years. I'm not sorry if that offended you.

InnerRayg Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Ah, the internet's penchant cynicism has marred what would ordinarily be a joyous announcement. Alas, where has our youth disappeared to? That wide eyed wonder with which we once viewed the world? If I might postulate, perhaps it is time for us all to join hands again and say "yes, I want to believe." Just this time, let's ignore plausibility, facts, and nasty little dates. Let's come together and bask in the glory of wanton optimism. Say to yourself "I am doing this. I am making this happen."

Meiko Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 This is certainly interesting news. It's nice to know that LEGO cares about the interest still in the theme, but hopefully this doesn't give LEGO fans the idea they can just rant on forums to bring back themes they like. And if this is a joke.....ugh that's horrible. -- Meiko - @georgebarnick LUG Ambassador and administrator at Brickipedia News reporter and database administrator at Brickset Administrator at BIONICLEsector01 DISCLAIMER: All opinions and contributions made under this account are based solely on my own personal thoughts and opinions, and in no way represent any of the above groups/entities.

Van Hohenheim Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 I really hope this is true. honestly, I wouldn't be able to take it if all this stuff was fake. maybe the rest of the stuff, but not this. but i'm still skeptical. Previously known as Aiwendil.
Hitoshura Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 I don't know whether to believe this or not. profiles
Akuna Toa of Sonics Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 I want this to be true more than that H4 DLC remake thread I saw on another forum. Does anyone want to play the Master Chief Collection with me? I'm trying to get a team going for ranked. PM for GT.

~Xemnas~ Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 If this is a joke, I swear, I'm going to go in a corner and hit my head on a wall...If it's not (which hopefully it isn't) I'm going to wait and see where this is going and possibly have a big grin. BZPRPG Profiles Ghosts of Bara Magna Profile

FrozenFlash Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Not sure if I want to believe this or not but the possibility of Bionicle returning does sound good although I lost a bit of interest in the line.
The Legendary TNT Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Put it this way, if this is another BZP joke, then it might be on the front page today. However, if it isn't then it will definitely be on the front page today or tomorrow (hopefully tomorrow). So, if we look on the front page under "April 2, 2013" and see something about this, it isn't a hoax.
Legolover-361 Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 I really hope this isn't an April Fool's Day joke. (( BZPRPG profiles: Kynaera, Nova ))

sunflower Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 omahflyingfloridiancitruses words cannot describe ... no describing this here in words, but I shall try. Absolutely awesome. Just a few sets would be more than enough, and a continuation of the story is simply amazing. Any continuation at all, at that. - BZPRPG -
GregF Posted April 1, 2013 Author Posted April 1, 2013 I thought that people might immediately suspect it was a joke. Should I have posted today saying Bionicle wouldn't come back, so everyone would suspect the opposite? I guess I'll just post an update tomorrow, so you guys can know for sure.

Tilius Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 OH MY GOD NO WAY. I do believe this. Just because I think Bionicle has the sort of fanbase who'd consider suicide if this turned out to be a lie, and so I don't think Greg would joke about this. Though the new sets and new story will all SUCK and won't be as good as 2001!!!!

You wouldn't ever do something like this to us and say it was a hoax.

Avohkah Tamer Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Wow, Greg, brilliantly executed. Whether or not this ends up being an April Fool's Day prank, you will have fooled plenty of people either way. I'm going to go on record and say I believe it's a hoax. And if I'm wrong, hey! More Bionicle! ~ (A VTOAHMKEARH)
Eyru Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 I can't believe everyone's being so skeptical just because it's April 1st. Come on, this is what some of us have been waiting for for years! Don't be cynical! Rejoice! BRPG Forum Rules • BZPRPG Starter Topic • Q&A Compendium • SK:A Profiles
