The only way you could compare Nintendo getting rid of Mario with LEGO getting rid of anything would be LEGO getting rid of the 2x4 brick. That is what made LEGO popular (and what I would call LEGO, Bionicle is something weird their brains coocked up while on crack or somthing).ProfessorLayton said:
Probably because the newest few Bionicle generations were crappy? I remember the originals, back in the day.
*Mumbles softly"Wadders said:Pfft. Bionicle was pretty shite to be honest.
I mean, it had a pretty cool backstory, but it became pretty clear they were milking it for all it was worth. The models were not fun to make, and weren't very interesting or fun to play with once made.
Real LEGO will always outshine them. It's just so versatile, so fun to make and just... awesome. Easily my favorite childhood toy. I'm almost tempted to get all my Lego out and play with it when I go home this weekend
I am twenty one and i still play with legos...usualy when my insomnia is bad and im too fidgety to stay still i build like the sulaco or something.
They're getting rid of it... I used to love that series it was closed to my beating lego heart. I don't really like lego anymore but still... And it does seem a bit stupid for them to get rid of it seeing as it's is extremely popular.Glassesguy904 said:
OT: Oh well I have to admit the new ones are not as good as the old ones. Man those were the good days. *looks off into the distance*
I used to have every bionicle from the first to the two that came out with The Mask of Light. After that I didn't really do anything with them... So I gave them to a charity.
I was going to say the licensing might cost too much, but apparently they invented it themselves.Glassesguy904 said:
In which case my suggestion is that they've got something new they think will be even better and need to shift production. Bionicle might be in decline and they're cutting it sooner rather than later.
Wait- no big sendoff? Correct me if I'm missing something (which I'm sure I am, as all my knowledge of the storyline comes from browsing the wiki months ago) but didn't the last major plot end with the villain basically killing God and taking over the universe? That's kind of a crummy ending for a toyline.
Good riddance, IMHO. When I was a kid, we'd basically just build the stuff we wanted out of Legos, it'd be a nifty creative outlet. When I first heard about Bionicle, I was ticked off because they pretty much killed the creativity I had associated with Lego and associated it instead with prefab ideas and parts that were intended to be put together only one way.
I thought it was going downhill a bit actually, while some of the new things look cool and all that. They seemed to off the whole Toa defending the land thing.Glassesguy904 said:
I remember Bionicle, I had all of the first and second generation sets.
Then I lost almost all of my figures, and then I lost interest.

NOOOOO!
I thought they were awesome, I own 4 of them and recently been combining them together.
Oh well, it will be missed.
