Oh yeah, the new intro was amazing.
I triedâŚ
It was just so peaceful this episode.
Oh well, still a good episode. 
âŚI may have gone a little overboard with that⌠shrugs Oh well.
I was going to have one about the boards being broken, but I thought it might be mean-spirited to poke any fun at that. So yeahâŚ

Are we ever going to get an explanation on that new ad?
Everyone seems to hate the old one.

Well why wasnât little Johnny hit? He was the most annoying part! 
On second thought, no. His crushed face was priceless. He will never see the review of the awesome Bionicle pens.

Actually was going to skip Little Johnny this time until I noticed what, uh, happened.
Also, Viperâs âThok you,â wow.
On the topic of todayâs kids not being interested in BIONICLE, I only have this to sayâŚ
âStupid whippersnapper kids with their iPads and their touch phone games, not appreciating an actual physical toy!â
My theory on the whole âkids liking video games more than physical toysâ things is that maybe kids like VGs more because they donât have to use their imagination as much? Letâs take Transformers for example. Back in the day I loved playing with my action figures, but I also loved playing the games. The games gave me a visual for all the destruction I was having Megatron cause, rather than me having to imagine burning buildings and wrecked tanks. I didnât have to think as hard playing a VG as I did playing with a physical toy. I still enjoyed (and still do) the physical toys, but to see all the stuff happening on screen was pretty darn cool. Perhaps this is what is happening with this generation, they have the immediate reward of seeing the stuff on screen, and so feel they donât need physical toys anymore.
But then at the same time, system keeps selling extremely well. I donât know. Thatâs just my two cents.

Maybe because you usually have buildings and vehicles to go along with the figures? That way, you donât have to imagine as much; Whereas, with constraction, itâs just the figures. (But then again, SW constraction is selling pretty well, right?)

Wait, none of the TF games in my day had visuals.
Really? I donât know how old you are, but I played the heck out of this back in the day. Everything could blow up.
Maybe kids want a setting and atmosphere to their story when they play, something system has. You never see a Bionicle âhouseâ or âfortâ.
Umm⌠yes there is.

Heh, I remember back in the day I used to make my sets go on adventures from one end of the house to another; imagining doors as giant deadly gates, the stairs as treacherous mountains, chairs and tables as tunnels, etc.

Oh dang. No wonder you were complaining about lack of visuals.

Actually (and this is just me), this is why system never interested me. I found a building or fort boring. I wanted characters, thatâs what makes a story. Thatâs why I always liked Constracton, and why Iâm a minifig collector/ moccer. I will only ever get a system set if it has a Minifig I really want.
