End of an era (R.I.P. BIONICLE)


Hello! Once again it's Chuck here to tell you all about.... stuff. This post however is not a very happy one. It's to mark the end of an era. The end of a LEGO era. Starting in 2001, BIONICLE was the way LEGO branched out into action figures. Growing up in my younger days, I was OBSESSED with BIONICLES. At first, my mom wouldn't let me get BIONICLES because she thought they were "dark" and "scary." But I soon convinced her otherwise and I bought one. I was hooked. The storyline was incredible, the characters were memorable, and everything about it was cool! That was ten years ago. This years sets were BIONICLE STARS consisting of some of the coolest characters. But they would be the last. Yes. In 2010, BIONICLE ended. If you do not believe me, go to this adress.

Yes, the toy that inspired a decade is over. Possibly LEGO'S greatest achievement is flushed down the drain. Being replaced by a new line of figures called, HERO FACTORY. Who knows, maybe BIONICLE isn't over. Maybe it WILL come back. But not in the forseeable future. So until then. (If it ever comes) cherish a toy that made alot of people happy. A toy that redefined what LEGO was all about. Cherish BIONICLE.


P.S. This is my favorite BIONICLE vid of all time!
