Really? Well… I thought they actually wanted to make the fans happy by bringing it back… tha ks for explaining…
Well, after seeing the episodes: [spoiler]
[/spoiler]
Also, after seeing the official statement:
Jontron - Project Spark initial reaction [Conker] (I don’t know if the video could be cataloged as “explicit” do to his “spit” but, just search the video folks
Out of all of the people part of the Bionicle group, the ones that were the best were the set designers, they did an amazing job with the limitations put forth. The second would be the concept art team.
The rest were ether okey, acceptable, meh, bleh, or horrible.
I hope the next theme is Slizers G2.
How about this…Roborider/Slizer…we shall call them Neo Shifters.
A totally NEW and ORIGINAL concept, I like it
You can criticize LEGO for any mismanagement that might have lead to this. But you can’t say that they don’t care. You of course can say they only care about profit because… duh that’s all that a business is supposed to care about, you can’t fault them for it. But they certainly do care. Bionicle was brought back, and that was great regardless of it’s faults. We gained so much as a community from this, and that’s the best part in the end. This gave me an opportunity to meet people, create new projects, and go new directions in the fandom I never would have been able to go. That part of Bionicle is far far from over as well. I’m going to brickfair in just a bit to meet TTV and that’ll be great, I have plans for numerous Bionicle themed projects in the future, and plan to stick around in the community like I did the last time Bionicle was over. This is really disappointing, but there are worse things in the world, and we got way more good than harm out of it in the end.
Of course they cared, they just didnt care enough is whats the problem, buuuut Im okey with what I got, not happy, just okey.
An almost net neutral feeling/situation leaning a bit towards positive is still positive at the end of the day.
At least I got the last Ekimu vs Kulta set in my country and that was worth it by my opinion. Not for Kulta, he is okey, but Ekimu is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
I actually am very interested in that idea…
I think if we get another constraction theme, it will have something to do with mechs. It’s the only way they can create a character that doesn’t look weird out of ccbs. It also allows them to market it more as a “system” theme as they can include minifigres.
Well if you think about it: (Spoiler!)The Toa returned to their star/planets which are each probably of a certain element. And Slizers (at least one version of the story) had different elemental planets in it so… Bionicle G2 is a continuation of Slizers confirmed! /s
Its possible, with the proper writing to back that up.
Well, at least I don’t have to worry about the space on my shelves jajaja, right guys???
Oh who am I kidding: Hello darkness, my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping…
Yep, more space on my shelves from now on.

(When you act happy for the world but you are actually dead inside)
Just think about all the kids without Netfix. To them, the story ended abruptly. The last widely accessible story was Escape from The Underworld.
G1’s finale was told in a book, Comics, and the MAta Nui Blog. It was hard to miss.
G2’s finale? Only a certain group of fans will ever see how it ended.
That sucks.
~W12~
Not to mention Asian and Oceania kids with no access to the internet shops got screwed over with obtaining the last wave. That to me is even worse.
Wasn’t Journey to One at least slated for a DVD Release?
Well I’m sad…
I feel like it’s 2010 all over again, but at least now we know how to deal with the situation.
It’s sad to see Bionicle go, but it’s no where near over. All of us have the power to keep it going. Personally I’m interested in the fan-created years idea.
See you all on the other side!
Loving the way you think
On another note, 2016 summer wave showed a sort of “Let’s make these sets as quickly as possible” vibe, express how much you love them how much you like to, but for me it stays so. And the only G2 Titan is a big&wrong-necked guy, K.
I think this is the attitude we should start transitioning to. We can continue to talk about the reasons why the line ended, but in the end, all those discussions will end up going in circles because we have no actual info on why it ended.
My idea going forward is this–in addition to the ongoing discussion in this topic, everyone who can should propose their ideas on how to keep the spirit of BIONICLE alive. I personally think that we should get creative–write fanfics, make MOCs, etc. Is there a question G2 left unanswered that you want solved? Write a story to answer it. Are there characters you hoped to see appear in the story? Make them. Are there stories you’d like to tell in cinematic form? Make stop motions or animated videos. Do whatever you can to keep BIONICLE alive.
Also, if I’m not overstepping my boundaries here, I think this might be something worth discussing in the next podcast. I’m sure the cast members are thinking along similar lines, but getting listeners and members of the boards to discuss ways of keeping BIONICLE alive would be really influential, IMO, especially coming from respected members of the fanbase. I’d like to know what they think of that, as well as the opinions of the mods on how to keep the flame alive.
We can get through this, guys! All we need to do is keep a positive attitude!
