Goooood morning Yea Forums! Just a reminder that we are one day closer to recieving Tahu Mata from Bionicle, yes, THE Tahu Mata from Lego's beloved franchise that saved them from bankruptcy at the turn of the millennium!
>B-but Bionicle started as a toy line!
Did you know it had two games in development the same year the line's initial story arc was in development? Tales of the Tohunga for GBA and the (officially) never released Legend of Mata Nui for PC both slated for release in 2001 though only the former was actually released technically speaking.
>B-but Bionicle's been dead for almost a decade!
So? Banjo and Kazooie was supposedly "a dead series" according to naysayers before that glorious June 11th morning. If Sakurai wants to make something happen, it happens!
>W-why Tahu? Why not (x)?
Who else is synonymous with the Bionicle franchise? Gali? Please! Lewa? As if! Onua? Nice try. Pohatu? More rocks in his head than a Po-Matoran! Kopaka? Maybe as Tahu's echo fighter in another reality!
God I love Bionicle. I'm glad the fandom is strong but a lot of them are shit. They remind me sonic fans. Autistic and shitty fanart with stupid romantic bullshit. Love isn't canon and stop drawing bionicles that look like fucking iron man armor.
build your own action figures that's literally the entire appeal

Action figures but customizeable because they're made of Lego Technic. The original sets had some interesting and deep lore with book tie ins and other media, and they made a couple of films too.

Bionicle was the fucking shit when I was a kid. Why did Lego ever think it was a good idea to stop making them?
Cooper Perez
They take up shelf space that could be occupied by licensed sets that make them more money. Lego also wanted to save money on their original shit to make more custom molds for licensed set pieces, and cutting back on and ending Bionicle was an easy way to do that.
