Bionicle General Discussion

[Trijhak]

Check BZP.

-Teridax is coming to bara Magna (in other words, instead of going BACK to the MU, the MU's coming TO bara Magna (and how we get the stars)
-Tahu has adpative armour, remember?
-Takanuva can change his colours at will, he's a light toa
-Gresh probably got a new helmet and weapons
-The Skakdi is no Vezok
-Heat Vision Rahkshi are yellow
-Skrall is unexplained.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

*Raises eyebrows at the first one*
Yeah, true.
True here too, but I'm not quite sure why they couldn't have had an optional Gold mask too >_> That'll be the only colour I haven't gotten of his mask, aside from those other optional masks from the initial release.
True...
Figured...
I already knew that from SPIRIT's PSA. =P
Well, they're roaming, so...

The only question is what'll the general story be about, an all out fight like 2008 with 3 each, or what? =/

[Trijhak]

I'm guessing:

Skrall, rahkshi and Skakdi: Bad

tahu, Takanuva and Gresh: Good

It's returned to the 3 v 3 theme of 2008 and not kept with the 5 v 1 theme of 2009.

Unless the Skrall and Skakdi are escaping fro Teridax.

But one problem; BM and MU characters speak different languages. Gresh and Skrall speak Agori, the others soeak Matoran.

I;m guessing that mata Nui and Teridax will be stars i the SUmmer. Most likely accompanied by a Barraki, another Nuva, Roodaka and a Mahri.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Teridax would be interesting... Mini-MU Robot =P

[Trijhak]

However, the new village on BM is a likely target for him
. But all he could is...

*stompstompstomp*

There. No more life on BM XD

[Magical Girl Mimi]

That is, if he doesn't get a little rebellion in him that causes him to lose focus.

[The Host]

I am not liking the new storyline idea at all. BM is supposed to be a new start for Bio Fans, and yet we introduce 1 years worth new sets, then just bring back old sets in smaller form? Rediculous. Bionicle being put away instead of Ben10? What even is a Ben10?

The only good thing about this is:
return of Teridax(ubervillain is cool)
return of Tahu and Taka(they're kinda cool)
new armour pieces for agori/matoran bodies.

Why are the sets gonna be such small sets now?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Because LEGO thinks it's a good idea to have a licensed theme seemingly replace one that's been going on for almost ten years now? >_> Again, fail decision is fail.

[Ddude The Insane]

WHAT??

If I'm reading this correctly, lego is cancelling Bionicle and replacing with Ben 10?

O____________________________ ______O

FFFFFFFAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIILLLLLL LLL
This is just WRONG. Bionicle is probably Lego's most successful theme in the past 20 years, and they're replacing it with a very bad TV show for kids 8-12 with short attention spans.

I'm checking BZP but it's not loading >_<

I just hope I'm horribly mistaken...

DO NOT SWEAR. ~KZ
EDIT: Oh sorry, I didn't realise it was considered a bad word. ._.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

*Note to self: Filter that word out. =P*

Well, we don't know about canceling, but apparently it's reducing the sets we have. >_> But based off that rumoured set description for the Stars, I'm starting to wonder. But if this happens, I think we can say goodbye to Lego, because this may be their downfall if it's true... >_>

[Trijhak]

Edited that word out. And that word was from e temp Mod. Do not swear.

I just goit MN's guide to bara magna, that's where the fact that mata Nui goes into the Prototype Robot on BM comes from.

If we had returned to the MU Story even later, than newer fans would be even more confused after like 5 years of not seeing them. It's best to warap up the MN saga before they start a new one.

There's a LOT of new info in MN's gide to BM, such as Gelu's current whereabouts unknown, after a battle with Stronius in the raid on roxtus (at the end of TLR), he wants to fight him again to finish his fight.

[Ddude The Insane]

Sorry about the word. He uses it frequently, so I figured it was fine...

*sigh of relief it at least hasn't been cancelled yet*
I just hope the Ben 10 sets fail and don't end Bionicle...

[Magical Girl Mimi]

The sets failing is inevitable with all the bad things they've got going for them... Mostly the fact that they're little more than oversized Agori/Av-Toran with a bigger price tag. >_> And what I mean by that is they're only like 17 or so pieces from what I've seen/heard.

[mtmerrick]

ben 10 sets are $20ish canister-sized sets.

[Trijhak]

We know. And they only have 18-20  pieces. And the stars have 19-21 parts and are 8$, BIONICLE's price is nothing compared to B10.

[The Host]

I am not sure why Lego is doing this... The vehicle sets may not have sold very well between 2008-09, but they can nix those and continue with canister size sets, which are the bulk of Bionicle Revenue.
Ben10?!? Bring back Exo-Force. That looked like a good line of sets that combined Bionicle and classic Lego.

[Trijhak]

Exo-Force didn't sell well.

I would much rather they made the vehicles go bye-bye, except for one or two each year and have two titans in the summer.
And as for the other 2 or three titans/vehicles that would normally be there, why not replace them with special edition canisters, with exclusive pieces and a combiner to go with them?

[Ddude The Insane]

I'd prefer they keep the vehicles.

But um, where are those stories about Teridex coming to BM and all that? And the story about Bio being cancelled? Could someone provide a link to that on BZP.

[Trijhak]

It was in the OGD. From a member named 'Tilius'.

[Kritzelei]

We know. And they only have 18-20  pieces. And the stars have 19-21 parts and are 8$, BIONICLE's price is nothing compared to B10.

THISIS 10th ANNIVERSARY SETS! DO NOT QUIT BIONICLE FOR THIS!
