COMMUNITY POLL FOLLOWUP: Will canisters ever come back?

legofan3225 · January 7, 2015, 5:23pm

So, in an earlier topic I asked you if you thought that the boxes issued with the 2015 sets were, well… less than appealing, and the overwhelming answer was yes. Now, I ask a new question- do you all think we will ever see canister Bionicle sets come back, whether it be in summer 2015 or a later year, or are they done for good? I’d love to hear your opinions.

Sidorak · January 7, 2015, 5:29pm

Naah, I don’t think so. Maybe with small sets.

Tate · January 7, 2015, 5:31pm

Correct me if I am wrong
But this is not the question you asked in you previous topic

The question in the previous topic was
“were you going to keep the boxes as collectibles”

Which isnt asking if anyone liked them, but was asking if they would keep them…

But anyways
I will say no, because lego stated that boxes/bags are cheaper, and more ecofriendly

I highly doubt it.

[/quote]That’s why.

Besides, canisters sometimes are clunkier.

Willess12 · January 7, 2015, 8:07pm

I think they will have canisters in the near future.

Helryx08 · January 7, 2015, 8:09pm

As much as would hope so, probably not.

As long as they beef up the cardboard, I’m happy. I really like the shape of the new boxes.

Collector · January 7, 2015, 11:04pm

I doubt it. LEGO uses bags now for their CCBS themes because they’re cheaper and more friendly to the envionrment.

legofan3225 · January 8, 2015, 1:17am

Well, yes, this is true, but I was basing this question around the responses I received… guess I could’ve worded that much better.

Charyas · January 8, 2015, 1:21am

I doubt it.

btmomegar · January 8, 2015, 3:38am

Nah, they won’t be back.

Dagarak_The_Melon_Knight · January 8, 2015, 7:00am

Make your own canisters out of water bottles

LQ1998 · January 8, 2015, 6:13pm

I doubt they’re going to go back on a way to cut cost, it just wouldn’t make sense for them.

vorox1027 · January 9, 2015, 3:19am

I would say that there is a 99.9% probability that canisters won’t be back.

TeslaEffect · January 9, 2015, 7:24pm

No they wont, the end.

Ekorak · January 12, 2015, 12:16am

I hope not.

KCGR · January 12, 2015, 1:49am

Probably not. More cost effective with boxes.

ColdGoldLazarus · February 10, 2015, 12:49am

I doubt they will, but I kind of wish they would. On the other hand, while I’m hardly a tree-hugger, the eco-friendliness of the box is something I can get behind.

TheEsquire · February 10, 2015, 1:08am

I think I might just try that out some time in the future…

Sammythekat · June 6, 2016, 2:32am

I got an idea:

cardboard canisters
