I'm going to need a Kakama Nuva to catch up to the hype train. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnxgjmbSP2c&list=UUHbcwfjBn2P_6GHw5ottF5A&feature=share EDIT: The corresponding TTV podcast for this bit of news. It's like a relevant XKCD but for BIONICLE 2015 news.

And me.

Hey all. So I finally got around to working on the Nebulon-B Frigate again that I started building in MLCad quite a while ago however I've decided to build it in LDD (Lego Digital Designer) instead. This way it will be a bit easier for me to make it in LDD. I imported the old model so all that progress is still there so I'll use that as a base to carry on with it. I've done a bit of work on it already but there's still quite a bit left to do. here's my progress so far.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO*this line has been truncated* Seriously though, Bionicle goes in the top three of my favourite LEGO themes, or possibly even #1. At least, the original line did. This has probably been said already, but I sincerely hope that LEGO don't go wild with the story like they did ten years ago. And that we get an awesome non-TT game to go with it. Personally, I'd like to see a goodbye to all previous fluff; not a complete rewrite of it but rather an acknowledgement of it and a new start from a later era. Cut all attachments with the old line (like how Metru Nui and Mata Nui were so intertwined with the elders/toa such as Nuju), but don't forget about it. And, of course, that it doesn't go all Hero Factory. If they can do well with this, making it what the new Arctic theme was to the old and not another Power Miners, then by dang will I be getting some!

@DM I have no clue why, but that post is making me laugh. Maybe from the fact you were trying to kill some chickens and ended up obliterating all animals and other items. "Anyone know what happened to my armor?" "I think JAL was trying to make some chicken sandwiches." "Again?!" Then again, it also could be that Phineas and Ferb episode where Doof is trying to turn the key to the city into a chicken so people would laugh at his mayor brother, because, as he put it, "chicken, laugh. Chicken, laugh. It is a known fact. People laugh when they see a chicken". Doof might have been on to something there. He just might have...

It took me much longer than it should have to figure out that this was an extension of the hype train metaphor. I'm cool with BIONICLE doing new stuff and refreshing itself and evolving, but at the same time I like to hold on to my illusory predispositions and believe that old BIONICLE is objectively best BIONICLE. The congnitive dissonance leads to me attempting to ironically mock myself whenever I talk about my Bioniclepinions. In short, my opinions are wierd and as a result nobody understands what the heck I'm trying to say when I post in this topic because I'm a crazy person. ANYWAY, I'm digging the new mask design in the thumbnail image and hope that it is an indication that the gold mask on the display was a stand-in from before this new one was finalized. Either way, the mask looks to be the 2015 story's McGuffin, making for an interesting fusion of 2001 and 2006 story concepts.

That mask looks like they ran out of ideas and ripped off Sauron. I'm now interested, but I'm climbing aboard the 'meh' train. It's got pretty good lodgings, but you get your money back if the train doesn't reach its destination. Plus, if you're not happy with the destination, it'll take you to a new one. Plus it's really easy to get off, given the slow speed it goes. [/WhyDidIExtendThisMetaphorToTheBreakingPoint] But I am interested. Not so much in the plot, but more in the quality of the sets. Last time I checked, Pereki and I were sharing a cabin, so I'll talk to him about it. The first sets had more of an emphasis on Technic: they had TECHNIC on the instructions! But when was the last time you saw gears in a Bionicle set? The last ones were (in NZD) a dollar per piece!* And the Muaka is my favourite. I still don't understand how it works. And the Manas... despite one motor playing up with rechargeable batteries they were the pinnacle of Bionicle. Ok, that's an overestimate, but SOMETHING has to be the pinnacle, no matter how low it is . But they just went to ball joints and things went downhill from Mahri Nui.... (at least Voya Nui had Kardas... +5 SET DESIGN) TL;DR Lego, please add more Technic stuff into it. *Gresh = 21 parts = 20 dollars = ~0.952 $ / piece
