I'd say that Tahu is probably less than two heroes tall, that seems a little excessive. Kopaka, however...
-
A smaller price point like that would be excellent. I feel like the price estimates we have are likely a little off anyway, since calculating the inflation of NZD is inexact, as far as I am aware.
-
Well, uh Anyone look at the thing up above? To be fair, they gave a lot more tickets to BZP than they did to EB, so it's still likely Bionicle
-
If the Great Beings are so powerful, why is it so surprising that they can create robots that can create other technology? I will agree that the specific instance of Lewa having a jetpack seems a bit silly.

giant freaking robot

1. No trick; 100% legitimate 2. Perhaps; inconsequential 3. Perhaps; also inconsequential
-
Masks of elements did exist in Bionicle canon, but I do agree that calling a mask with stone powers "Stone" (not even "Mask of Stone" or something) would be incredibly dumb.

It's "Protector", it seems

I like stickers for the fact that you have options - you can put it on the piece, or not, or put it on something else entirely. With printed parts, it's easier to have the intended look of the sets since you don't have to worry about all the sticker application and such...

Correct.

Favorite Bionicle (or any constraction figure) Titan?
Chro replied to TheGreatSpirit's topic in LEGO Action Figures
This. Tuma is definitely up there as well. -
Oh. I thought you were arguing in favor of that. My mistake.

And what's the point of doing that? You're just hinting at something which you then continue to ignore. In that scenario it makes loads more sense to simply get rid of it altogether. (If it's a reboot, I don't mean that they'd retcon the previous Bionicle story, just that they'd start totally fresh with this new one.) I'm just trying to say that it would be totally pointless to have a continuation without including what it's being continued from. Rebooting the story would be simpler than saying "there existed an entire story previously which we are now disregarding"... right? The problem here is that it's reversed. If I'm not mistaken, LOTR and The Hobbit were published first, and while it was clear that there was a lot going on in that universe that hadn't been explained, it didn't need to be explained for those stories to make sense and be understood. Then the expanded prequel stuff came later, and built on what we already knew. Now, as for Bionicle, the prequel stuff already exists, and Bio 2015 would be... basically The Hobbit, by your analogy. I do not believe that this would work out well for Bionicle. With Bionicle, there's already all of this convoluted backstory, and we can't just forget it exists and continue the story within the same unrebooted universe without complication arising... while with LOTR, the backstory simply didn't exist yet, so there was nothing convoluted there in the first place for LOTR or The Hobbit to have to deal with. Sorry if my arguments are poorly organized or don't make sense. I'm trying to do too many things at once right now.

Continue the story but ignore the story that it's continued from? It is gold. I concur.

Thing is, they weren't actually all that primitive. The surroundings were primitive, sure, but the only reason the Toa were the same way is because they'd lost their memories in the canisters. Years later, they had better equipment, more experience, and most importantly - by the time 2008 was through - they had regained their memories. If the entire story had stayed on the island of Mata Nui with such a tribal tone, then it would make sense for the Toa to remain how they started out. But it didn't, and (fittingly) they didn't.

Not having guns? The Defenders all have guns

Again, as far as I have been informed by my source, HF is done with.
-
This. Remember, that guy's blog did say that he was working on a "new" constraction theme for 2015, and it's almost certain that he was referring to Bio, so... I don't know. I'm sure that reboots such as Space Police III were referred to as "new" as well, though, correct?
-
As long as there's a sizable number of rational people who see that both are good, we'll be fine.
-
Just polar bears, I'd guess
-
Oh wait, that's a new one? If I'd known I would've posted it here, but I thought that was the one everyone was going off of already XD
-
The Morbuzakh wasn't a Rahi, though it was a sentient non-humanoid living thing, so it may as well count
-
Banana Gunz would like to have a word with you
-
This.

Come on, don't you remember that one Bo-Toa that was mentioned during the Piraka's raid on the Toa Fortress that was overtaken by Frostelus? :P(No seriously, I remember that guy)
