I predict the HERO Factory franchise is only gonna last for 2 or 3 years. People do not like that they are replacing BIONICLE with police robots picking up lego bugs and putting them in containers. I think this a poor action made by LEGO's part. Comment on if you agree or not agree.

I kind of agree with Rahkshi. Actually, I believe all themes start as experimental themes. If the themes get successful, it keeps going on.

Why does the programmer always get Halloween and Christmas mixed up?

Most LEGO themes last for two or three years.
If it lasts longer than a year, then it succeeded. Besides online fanbase=minority of fans. You are forgetting the fans who do not have forum accounts.

Talk To Me Quote Archive I've got no place to go, I've got nowhere to run.
They love to watch me fall, they think they know it all.
I'm a nightmare, a disaster, that's what they always said.
I'm a lost cause, not a hero, but I'll make it on my own.
I've gotta prove them wrong - It's me against the world. It is, in the end, whatever the **** I want it to be.
And when I'm through with it, it's gonna blow a hole this wide
straight through the worlds own idea of itself.
...
Come on, lets go break their arms. |

So is there a link to actually view this new theme?Never mind, I found it, it's here... http://club.lego.com/en-us/news/extradetails.aspx?id=171159
Oh and by the way, I can answer the question, the Lego Hero Factory will last forever, because it involves us and our creations.
It delves in the past, as to our comic book heroes.
It will also one day be in the Universe, but that's just my prediction

I never seem to have enough printed to actually make a point do I buddy. I guess what I'm trying to say is that the Bionicle was a good idea, it still exists and lives in the new idea, the parts and theme are the same.All Lego has done is try to get us more involved by saying that we get to create the Heroes.
In other words, I think Bionicle simply evolved to suit Lego and it's devout customers.
So the key word is here, evolution, from a Bionicle perspective.
Lego saw the popularity of Bionicle grow through the years, studied, and then decided to take it to the next level...
By making us the Heroes, when they actually evolve through recognition to that state of mind, I, and we, will be truly impressed.
For now, enjoy the evolved theme, I got 10 million bricks says you will, and Bionicle will be archived as a precious memory (and some really cool sets, if you saved a few)

Changing the name might take the attention of consumers away..... |

Changing the names might take interest away from the people who bought Bionicles. "Bionicle" is a way more unique name than "Heroes".

I respect your view and take on this my friend. Though my view is different, the word hero is a word that all recognise, Bionicle is word that only the chosen see  , by that I mean Lego fans. Lego in my opinion has seen what you are talking about, They are gonna get more sales from the Hero title then they would the Bionicle, I'm talking about bringing in new customers, and the word hero is someone every kid, including me, wants to be. |

New names attract new people.
BIONICLE wasn't getting as much new fans in 09. It was an 8-year old name. BIONICLE started in 2001. It had 9 years before HERO Factory came along-and HERO factory is a NEW NAME.

Very true. maybe if someone didn't like Bionicle before, they see Heroes, they become liking the Heroes, which is very similar to bionicle. |

Quick edit. It was actually released in 2000. |

Then let's assume KZ said Bionicle started to get popular in 2001?
