Very true.

I liked the building of G2 although I prefered more texture to the armour, like they did on the inika. However the g2s commercial was so bad :/

Personally I think the bottom points on this list should be on the top

So true

I respecc

Did you watch the full video?

Lucas Gondreau I meant as in the advertising and such. I get they wanted to please the fans with the sets, but didn't advertise it well enough for kids. And THAT'S why it failed. Being specifically aimed toward adults rather than kids.

Ace Dynamike Oh, I see what you mean. I agree: the actual designers and story writers seemed to care about it, but corporate didn't.

Lucas Gondreau Even the back of the instruction manuals put more effort into advertising Star Wars than THE THEME THAT THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAME FROM

Lucas Gondreau I totally agree with you on that. What really pissed me off with how Lego handled G2 was the dumb "budget restrictions" that all of the sets had. I still don't understand why Lego chose to do that but I personally found that adding a budget restriction to the sets really hindered the creative teams from making the sets authentic. For example take a look a the skull scorpion set back from 2015. Most people could agree that it was a horrible set due to the way it was constructed and one couldn't really tell what the concept of the set was based on it's build. Well that is because, like most people would argue, Lego tried to keep the set in the price range of 15 dollars. However, I feel like the set would have looked and sold better if it didn't have a stupid "budget restriction" that hindered it from turning out to be something cool. For example, how come nowadays I see lots of cool Lego Star Wars sets that have really neat builds to them with virtually little to no flaws in them but cost more than 25 dollars? Because that theme gets all of the attention from Lego and doesn't have any "budget restrictions" on any of its sets, which allows the creative designers who work on the sets to go all willy nilly on the star wars sets with no limits. Meanwhile poor Bionicle G2 sets had to be dumbed down and limited to what the designers could add to them to make them look like decent sets all because of the dumb budget restrictions G2 had.

Same here.

It would've been a good opportunity to fast-forward the setting of G1 BIONICLE - millennia have passed since Spherus Magna was reformed and peace restored, and the Toa Nuva, the most important Toa team, has continued its service and has even been reconstructed. Now new threats emerge in the form of...the skull guys...I don't know, I really don't care about the villains G2 introduced. Still, it would be a interesting concept.

That wouldn’t have been a good idea, for the children would have been confused to where they had to start and how confusing it would be to continue a story that ended years ago

That sucks, man. I don't know why people have to try to force their viewpoints on others. I didn't like a lot of things about G2 but there was plenty of stuff to enjoy about it. I'm glad you got something good out of it!

Shade2800 So we should fully blame the people fully in-charge of it?

I’m commenting in this late, but the entire thing always felt very much interfered with by higher ups concerned about monetary issues rather than creativity, much like how I felt with Destiny and Activision being the primary source of many bad decisions purely for monetary reasons

g2 sets with g1 story and you would have had a solid series.

Definitely.

The villains had really creative and inspiring builds. Take Von Nebula, for instance.

i never got into hero factory but i would not complain if they restart hero factory. they had decent story and sets and they pioneered and improved a new building system that has become standard. if they take what they learned from the boinicle g2 sets and apply it to a new set of heo factory or even a new series primarily of ccbs.

I would love that. If they make the storyline more serious, I would buy it all.

Honestly it wouldn't have made a difference as LEGO would have decided to cancel it before J21 came out, we don't even know how successful it was.

But CN would have stuck it at like 7:30 AM on Saturdays. They mistreat lots of shows like that, and they already lost Pokemon, of all things...I'm amazed Sega still lets them show Sonic Boom at that time...

Sevrin Hell no CN is horrible in scheduling nowadays, if the show isn't TTG you won't be advertised as much.

Emma Starr Sad to say, but sonic boom premieres got moved to boomerang.

Really? I swear, Boomerang is just Cartoon Network 2.0 these days now. >:[

I'm Waj and I approve of this Waj.

aged better than the star wars sequels in my opinion

and if they made Lego Fortnite instead im gonna go mad *VERY MAD*

Don't Worry Bionicle G3 Will Come Out In Summer wave 2017 Or Winter Wave 2018

you can't know that

Cartoon Master nope

Infrared Toa I liked very few aspects of G2 that aren't mentioned on this list but yeah, Umarak was one of the few sets that was good from G2.

***** I mean the character.

Yeah he's pretty cool, to bad that they screwed up his destroyer form in TJTO.

***** Hand Five, Also i think the 2 final episodes screwed the saga.

Geez, can Sci Fantasy sagas... end well? and not like Stars/Bionicle 2010s... Final Wars... or Weirdmaggedon Shits? The 2 latter were not bad, they were dissapointing.

It should be on Netflix.

Xephix I don't have netflix

We currently don't know if they plan on releasing a new Constraction line or not. If they do, we won't see it until, at least, 2018. Currently all we've got is Star Wars.

TTV Mesonak ok thanks meso

Yep, I am best mr edity mc edit pants :P

We need to build a set!

And the Mexican Lego Store will pay for it!

i do have an idea called *Bionicle G2 Expanded Universe* (B.G.E.U. for short) where basically it will take place on other Islands and each Island has a story

they did a fusion dance

The Aki War more like the G2 equivelent of Aqua Magna, since it is blue and there are two neighboring planets(a Jungle planet and a Sand planet).

ReshumBox True.

Thanks Meso.

Be Random2000 I am in fact not Meso

I also edited the vid :P

Well, thank you Bionicle Knight.

Gυnjα Fυry I don’t know, but it really sounds perfect for a laboratory.

Andrew Homer Ive only ones heard the song not in the context of Bionicle. This video, minute 7:05 -> kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pbl0ibGEv7HGhWQ.html If you can find my comment, say hi if you dont mind.

I like the first theory. Maybe their memory loss was an affect of using the vanity improperly or without the bottom half.

It's all been shared on the BIONICLE Facebook page, at some point or another. The BioSector01 Wiki should also have it.

Thanks! I'll check it out.

I didn't find it on BS01 or The Facebook Page. Could you provide me with a link?

Is there any particular piece of concept art you're looking for? Or just concept art in general? :P

The ones with all the different versions of the toa. and possibly other concept art that was released alongside it.

Brutaka would just take all the spots

That would be interesting.

Atticus Voss but what if it isn't there.. what if it's in the g2 universe and it was planned to be a means of connecting the two?

+Supedup The Scout MY MIND NEEDS TO STOP BEING BLOWN THAT IS AWESOME

No, that's Meso.

Exile Studios Yep. Now Lego has to rely on licensed properties and/or non-constraction themes.

Jacob Bush Inflation, Jacob. 20 dollars in 2006 would be about 25 dollars now. While Brutaka did have about 65 more pieces, you have to keep in mind that, especially in the 2004-2007 era, more and more tiny pieces were being used. Not only that, but CCBS pieces do cost more to manufacture mainly because they are much sturdier and use more plastic then the original parts.
