Hey Bionicle fans! Are ya'll stick kicking?

Posted 3 years, 1 month ago (Edited 3 years, 1 month ago) by HardyLark

Kind of a silly question because I know that I'm not the only person online who remembers Bionicle, but I was curious if anyone is still a part of that Fandom. (It's kinda dead due to Lego cancelling it) So if you do exist and you're still out there... Hello!

I'm also looking to see if there's a good place to find most of the lore/movie/ and comics from back then. I've tried reading over the wiki, but it's pretty convoluted as far as lore goes. (As it would be for a years old franchise.) So if you happen to have any good resources, I love to hear them as well^^

Anywho... Just wanted to say Hi, and see if ya'll are still kicking out there!

ALSO! this can a a great place to discuss Bionicle if you're feeling it!^^

Oh dang I never thought I'd open up TH forums to see this. Hi! Yes! I grew up with the older bionicle stuff-somewhat, they had stopped making them waaaaaay before I got into them as a kid but I got interested through the lego books + borrowing the comics from the library! Bionicle was the absolute best thing ever as a young kid, I still think I have a box of the comics and other books under my bed, and I'm sure I've still got the movies upstairs somewhere fjfkfj I watched all the movies so much that they were burnt into my brain, I should rewatch them and see if I really remember as much as I think I do. I can still vividly rememeber plot elements, not sure how accurate they are.
I don't really use reddit much/idk how accurate this is but I did see this masterpost once, on the subject of the lore! I ... also remember how convoluted the lore was, and I got so invested in it as a kid though KDHDKS if you asked me about the lore as a kid I'm sure I would've given you a whole essay on the subject

I won't be able to accurately discuss lore and characters and stuff nowadays since I don't remember a lot, and I never actually got invested with the fandom (wasnt allowed on many sites as a kid, thank god), so I'm not sure what the atmosphere/jokes are like there. But I can definitely chat about my personal nostalgia about it!

Mask of Light was hands-down my favorite though. I remember I really really liked the villains, the designs of the rahkshi were my absolute FAVORITES and I loved all their powers and stuff, and I really liked the main villain at the end too. On the subject of villains though, I really liked Sidorak and Roodaka a lot in the Web of Shadows movie, they were really entertaining if I remember right. That movie kinda scared me as a kid because I was terrified of spiders, but I did like it a lot nonetheless. I think I was mostly interested in the villains in general, not really the heroes, on second thought tbh. They were a lot more interesting to me.

HI HI HI HI HI!! You don't know how happy this made me to see this! I'm actually what would probably be considered a newer fan, since I started out in 2010 with the 2001 material, but I've read most, not quite all, of the lore and would LOVE to chat both storyline and nostalgia wise.  I'm sort of a part of the fandom but it's unfortunately scattered across the internet - I'm on one dead discord server for it and another fairly small but active discord for it.  Also I have many ways to share the lore - some are more collection-based, a fan-made chronological site, but there's also a beginner order that I've saved. I've been hoping to be able to share them ;)
Do you have any Bionicle OCs? I have several.... :D

bumping again lol even though I'm pretty sure there aren't a ton of Bionicle fans on toyhouse, most of the ones I've found are on Tumblr, Discord, and Youtube.

I have a ton of Bionicle OCs!! I mean, most of them aren't that developed yet, but the ones with some development are in this folder: https://toyhou.se/bluerosekatie/characters/folder:2098726

I can definitely help you find a good source for the lore besides the Wiki, there's a site with all the material in story order (which I'm surprised Lego hasn't taken down yet), although it's not recommended for first timers, I'm not sure why so you could try it :D

HardyLark whenever you see this, feel free to ask me for the lore stuff because I can find it for you!
