True, it was doubtful it would have continued. Though cancelling a comic series that was primarily reprinting the graphic novel and splitting it (so people paid the full price of the novel for about 1/4 of the story) meant it was earning Lego more than the graphic novel which is still on sale in some places. They would’nt have even needed to add polybag sets and they could have sold the final two issues and made some of the money back that they spent on Bionicle.
in regards to people’s though that the web site info is just another inconsistensy of the G2 story, i think this might explain some things:

basicly, it would appeare that the website writers might not follow the story that the story writers have written, meaning that most if not all of the info we see on the website might actualy have been made up.
Now, im not sure if this means the same for Bionicle given that Tommy was answering about a Legends of Chima related question, but its highly possible that it might also be true for Bionicle too.

That’s talking about inconsistencies between CHIMA’s website information and its TV show. That’s not exactly comparable, because CHIMA’s story comes specifically from the TV writers. They’re essentially the story team, and because of this communication is most certainly going to be limited.
BIONICLE G2 had a team within LEGO actively working and planning out the story. They knew what they wanted to do, and I don’t think Ekimu’s Toa-like body was for nothing. It seems extremely likely that Ekimu WAS going to be the Toa of Light. All of the inconsistencies we see were born from JtO getting botched at the last minute because LEGO cancelled the theme.

today I went to a shop to see if they had any bonkles them, they didnt, but they said they were bringing in some next week, until when are they going to be refilling the shelves with sets?

Will probably stop early January at latest. After that any sets found are probably just old ones that they failed to sell before they stopped stocking them

The Barnes and Noble here has one lone Skull Warrior set.
EDIT:
BS01 now has artbooks.

I’m starting to form several “totally legit …probably” crackpot conspiracy theories as we speak. I’ll get back to everyone after I find my trusty tin-foil fedora. Dome hats don’t work because your shoulders can still get hit by the mind control beams. Fedora brims curve the light particles back up to the invisible space device sending them down. 
If I had to take a serious guess though, I’d say that BS01 and BZP just happened to open the box up… almost the exact same way. That or they’re turning this into a running joke.

You know what would be crushing, I all the artbook had was a one page saying “not canon lol” and then a picture of Greg’s face.

Some of those weapons would have been amazing to see in sets.

Man, I really hope lego will make another constraction line, but darker like the artbook has shown, and with a good story aswell. Dosen’t have to be g3, just make it robotic.
I wonder if g2 would have done better had they went for the style in the artbook, except for the killing. Those artworks are so nice and bad***
I would have invested a lot more money if that was the case and the series lasted maybe 5 years or so.

I love the concept of three creatures with different abilities.
I wonder how that could work in the story.
Maybe animal spirits?
