If it came from TLG, I doubt it's a joke. They don't usually pull jokes.
At least I can save my money for this new theme that say will be replacing it.

I'm still skeptical. But, it seems that the actual story isn't ending, which is good, because that means that if they epic fail in sales after winter '10, since we all know that even if BIONICLE does end(*Cough'03cough*), people would still buy the Stars, then they could just bring it back the next year. See, the thing is that while everyone disliked Exo-Force ending, that never was one of their highest selling themes. Like, Bionicle and Star Wars had priority. But now they're ending BIONICLE, which I think is their most successful series and line every and their highest selling theme currently, so this may actually not be a good decision. I mean, Bionicle was what got them back up in '01 and so, as Advance even said.
The only thing that could redeem this is if somehow this new theme is even more epic than Bionicle. But I highly doubt that's possible. I probably won't be buying any more sets after the Stars, if I even get to get those. *shakes head*

Story isn't ending. But the sets are. I think we should expect a lot of BIONICLE-like elements in the new theme. Here's hoping it has no connection with the normal BIONICLE Story... apart from being in the same universe. Bota Magna, with no connections to BIONICLE, maybe?

I'll certainly miss the theme, but at least the story will still last for a little while.
I don't think this new theme will live up expectations though.

I doubt it'll even be that, from the way Greg's talking. |

Why would Lego do this? I heard they had plans for 2011 sets... I hope it's almost exactly like BIONICLE this new theme, but a different story and different locations.
|
I'm back. Probably not for long, as I've got school stuff to attend to, and I'll probably want to get a job at some point (hopefully self-employed). But nice to see you all again anyway.

TBD: Same here.
After 010 I;m guessing that the BIONICLE Forum will be moved into LEGO... (here)
Now we need to wait for toyfair 010 to see the summer 010 line.

Not unless people stop posting about the story and such. The only reason Exo-Force is only a topic is because no-one posted in the old board for it.

The summer sets had better be awesome, I really wanted a fully yellow (Mata Nui was orangey yellow) set, the colour of Bitil. And I wanted a purple set as well. |
I'm back. Probably not for long, as I've got school stuff to attend to, and I'll probably want to get a job at some point (hopefully self-employed). But nice to see you all again anyway.

There are NO BIONICLE SUMMER SETS. Haven't you read the article?

Noo! Purple! Purple and yellow could have been the Lightning tribe!  Yeah, I meant the new theme, sorry I didn't point that out. Well, I guess this confirms Ben 10 isn't taking over from BIONICLE (it starts January I think). It does say "There will be no more BIONICLE sets for the fore seeable future"... Perhaps it may come back under a different name a few years later? |

They announced it last year, no more purple stuff at all, because they can't find a decent colour they can stick with. >_> Of course, that doesn't include Mini-figs, but still. >_>

 I am ashamed with LEGO. Purple is a cool colour! But, BOT, this 'new range of buildable figures' doesn't sound to bad. As long as it's not like Knights Kingdom 2 (I mean the action figure Knights Kingdom by '2'. The original was just minifigs, now it is Castle.)

Most of us know what Knight's Kingdom 2 means, but yeah. But on the bright side, I think KK2 led to Exo-Force(It's joints were used in EF), so that's a good thing. ^^

Oh yeah, sorry. :-[ Just thought there might be someone who didn't know what it was. The joints were the only plus points to KK2, they're in Power Miners, EF (like you say) Creator and Ben 10.
