This news is sad to me. I’ve been a big big fan of Bionicles and still is.
I have at least one from every series. After a while, I got bored of the ones from the box,so after I took them all apart. Then after I made my own. In my version of them, here are the names of the good ones.

Jaden: color white and black element air,wind and gust.
Lance: color red and black element Fire
Chainaex: color green and grey element earth
Spinlea: color yellow element earth
Reaf: color gold and gray element all (mask of light) or is it mask of life
Evil ones
The hole reaper group
The hole destoyers of the world group
The nobodies ( over 100 of those )

hopfully bionicles will come back soon

I for one have heard ENOUGH!! Seriosly, I love bionicle. And I know tons of people who would agree when I say bionicle rocks! And brady G, there is something seriosly wrong with you if you think Ben 10 is dum. But I agree ,lego is going over the edge if they think THAT will replace BIONICLE. And if I had to choose between BIONICLE and Ben 10, I would choose bionicle in a heartbeat.

Hey, if any of you bionicle users, like Cpt. Mayhem want tons of bionicles I would be happy to give them to you. I’ve got more than I could ever need.

Kinda right there with you, Peter. I never much cared for Bionicle, though my son likes it. It did result in a number of interesting pieces entering System usage to good effect, so I won’t entirely dismiss it.

Everything I’ve heard about Ben 10 has Fail written all over it. With that said, I hated the Power Miners when I first saw them and now it’s one of my favorite themes, so who knows.

Is it China and Russia?

Brady G’s took-covered ramblings aside, it seems like I’m one of the few AFOLs actually encouraged by this news. I never liked Bionicle save for a few of the parts (a very few), and I’m interested to see what kind of train wreck replaces it.

Because it’s fun to watch trains wreck.

…Mind fart?
*Rereads comment*
Well, you may have a point there. But really, would that justify CN’s attempt at children’s television? Sure, the kids love it, that’s why our freind Sean’s site is falling apart.
Not the first time I’ve been mocked for calling US a small country. You guys seem so patriotic aboot it, defending it in every way possible. Does the size give a part in the power? Well, let’s take a look at Iraq. They’re a small (ish) country, and look at the casualty rate they’re inflicting on your guys’… Er, I’ll shut up now, before this gets too far. (o_o”)

(Or David can just send them all to me.)
(No seriously.)
(Then we’ll make something awesome and prove how “useless” they really are.)

I actually glad to hear this :D. Bionicle’s glory days ended in 2005. Everything after was just kicking the corpse of a dead theme. The story begins to make less and less sense with each comic. Thank you lego. now come out with something cooler. (Hint: IT’S NOT BEN 10!!!!)

LegoFace42> Brady G may be from Canada in which case the US is a ‘little country’. His frothing rant style suggests that he’s a native English speaker so I won’t list the other countries bigger than the US.

I am at a loss of words for how idiotic Brady’s comment is. I will forever wish I had never read LegoFace42′s reply, forcing me to go back and reread Brady’s mind fart.

Why can’t trolls stay under bridges?

Two things are being changed here, the sets and the story.

The sets are being changed into two lines, which seems to me to be an expansion of BIONICLE style sets in general. But the line we’ve seen so far looks really simplistic, even compared to the more basic BIONICLE sets, so let’s hope the other line is tilted towards an older audience. All I want from sets really, is good MOCing parts, which I’m not really seeing in Ben 10.

Then there’s the story. The story can only really get better, seeing the limitations that will be removed now that Lego is no longer marketing sets through it. I’m really looking forward to future developments.

Also, to those of you who disliked BIONICLE from the first, I really don’t see what you have to complain about. The line had decent to great storyline, and amazing parts for MOCing, what more could you ask? The parts are awesome, and as Creative Anarchy says above, they have been used very creatively over the years. Just look up the 50-ish MOC contests there have been on BZPower if you disagree with that.

Overall, this will be nothing but good if we can continue to get good Technic-BIONICLE style parts, and if Greg Farshtey lives up to my expectations in the future storyline.

Wow…Brady G. you must be so smart only watching Discovery Channel growing up. Us Americans in our (as you say)’little country’ strickly make our children watch Ben 10. Yes, that’s all we watch don’t you know. Funny though this Discovery Channel that you’ve watched and molded your mind was founded by an American, John Hendricks. Hmmm…funny.
