Hahahahahaha no. That’s not how it works.
Ven probably wants constraction to come back in some way, shape, or form. But the likelihood that it will occur via him aligning TTV with whatever fan concept exists is extremely low to the point that it’s by no means worth bothering.
Maybe somehow I could convince Ven to do that. But there’s no way I’m successfully convincing everyone else in TTV to go along with it. Not to say that Ven would be easy to manipulate for whatever constraction-related purpose (or anything really), but one person < however many people are actually on the cast I can’t keep track anymore.[quote=“LegoDavid, post:20, topic:49772”]
I mean seriously, a LEGO Ideas Project has a much higher chance of happening than Brickonikle or whatever other fan project people are trying to pitch to LEGO.

On the contrary, Brickonicle has a higher chance. Why? Because it’s introducing a new concept to the fanbase and possibly even to the designers, to have minifigure versions of their favorite heroes in their favorite theme. It’s showing that people still want Bionicle even if it isn’t constraction, but since Bionicle is constraction by nature, it’s bound to show up somewhere if the theme were to make a system return.
LEGO Ideas is a collection of very specific suggestions. And there’s already Bionicle projects on there and when it was LEGO CUUSOO that have gone absolutely nowhere. And I’ve supported them.[quote=“LegoDavid, post:20, topic:49772”]
So yeah, maybe try to submit a Licensed MOC such as that Sauron, and if it gets the support it needs, LEGO would have no reason to not make it.

Well they aren’t exactly making LotR sets nor have they shown any sign of having a current contract with the franchise…[quote=“LegoDavid, post:20, topic:49772”]
The true question is… Has been any large scale, true project worthy of being submitted? From I saw, not really. So we can’t make assumptions before we even tried it. If we make the project, gather all the support it needs, and still fail miserably, than only then we will be able to say that.

We don’t need a project to bring back Bionicle. We need a love letter to LEGO showing we still do deeply care and are passionate about the theme, and somehow convince them it won’t bomb so hard like G2 did just because it wasn’t dad’s Bionicle.
But the community is still so divided that probably won’t happen for a while.
