Actually, I know most of them personally.

And no, I'm vehemently, unequivocably [i]not[/i] a fan, for a massive list of reasons I'd rather not post publicly.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[[quote=jampot]Wow, congratulations! I'm so jealous! Now I have to hope the BZP giveaways will be soon.

Considering the size of the new Tahu set, I'm surprised the mask is actually smaller than the original Hau. Of all the new Kanohi, the new Hau does look the coolest. Any plans for it to appear on a MOC in a brickfilm?[/quote]

Indeed the Tahu mask does looks the coolest! As for an MOC in a brickfilm, I'll have to experiment with the mask a bit first to see what I can connect it to, because it doesn't fit on anything except for the un-released Bionicle heads. They just had to use a new connection technique, didn't they? :P]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Today, I received my exclusive* Transparent Tahu mask in the mail. I won it from the New York Comic Con Twitter contest. I uploaded a few pictures to Flickr if anyone is interested.

[url]https://www.flickr.com/photos/rioforce/sets/72157648634768429/[/url]

In that album is the picture of the package, some closeups of the mask, and a side-by-side comparison of the original Tahu mask with the new one.

Haha, looking on Bricklink, some guy is selling the mask for $111.95. Nobody's ever going to buy that. :lol:

*Actually, it's not exclusive, BZPower got a whole bag of these things that they plan on giving away. So much for rare items... :P]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[[quote=rioforce]I was just looking back at the leaked images of the Bionicle stand, and it looks a lot like the current promo but with a different mask.[/quote]

I'm guessing the original, much more tribal mask was a concept version of the Mask of Creation or, as sometimes happens, a mere placeholder while the actual mask was being developed (as in preliminary images of the DC sets for 2015, where Hulk and Ultimate Goblin stand in for Darkseid and Gorilla Grodd respectively).

I really like the Incan-style design of the Mask of Creation (though the Egyptian nemes-style one in the concept art was also cool) and I can't wait for it to come out in a set. When it does, I and the rest of the Gen 1 fandom will no doubt all be working on some Artahka MOCs...

[spoiler]For those who didn't follow much of Gen 1, during the story Artahka was the Mask of Creation's original wearer. He ruled a hidden safe haven island named after him and was said to be the world's greatest crafter, that he could build anything out of any material. He was responsible for many things, including making the Kanohi Nuva masks and giving the Toa Nuva their Adaptive Armor and sending them to Karda Nui. He was also one of the oldest beings in the Matoran Universe, if not slightly older than the robot itself.[/spoiler]

EDIT: Also, I've merged the topics now to avoid confusion and prompt greater debate bla bla bla Bionicle fanboy alert!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I was just looking back at the leaked images of the Bionicle stand, and it looks a lot like the current promobut with a different mask. Compare:

The mask in the stand looks a lot like this one:

[url]https://www.facebook.com/LEGOBionicle/photos/pcb.1505638736343871/1505638069677271/?type=1&theater[/url]

Also, notice Tahu is different. His mask looks a lot more like the classic one. Apparently, this stand picture is an older picture than we thought.

Also on a separate note related to the official image above that I thought was interesting, the Bionicle key visual looks a lot like the LEGO Universe key visual (with the dark mask being the maelstrom, and the overall look of it).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Bionicle was my first real fandom-like hobby, back in the heady days of 2003. I'm excited to see them bring back a stripped-down, back to basics iteration to a new generation. The continuity of the series just kept becoming more and more complicated to a point of absurdity, in my opinion, which is why I jumped off. Paring it down like this is, I think, a return to its roots.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I spent my childhood absorbed in the Bionicle lore, and the characters are very dear to me, from a creative standpoint, as they were really my first exposure to a fairly fleshed out fantasy universe. From what I can tell they're basically taking the names of the old characters and applying them to new ones, but their clearly supposed to be the same, since their masks very clearly harken back to the originals. Bionicle was always about the story for me, not the toys (although I had a ton), which I realize goes against the whole point of LEGO, but I'm okay with that, since Bionicle has always felt like something separate from the rest of LEGO. Basically, I wish they had started a new theme instead of trying to bring it back. I mean, Kopaka, clumsy? Really?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[[quote=Slurping Animations]I agree that some of this new Bionicle info is a bit 'iffy', but who's the target range for this new Bionicle line? 7-14 year olds most likely. It makes complete sense for TLG to start a new storyline. It may upset a good amount of returning fans, but from TLG's perspective, it works.[/quote]

I know, but it's not a good idea to split the fanbase as much as they have. And they [i]really[/i] have.]]></description>

I followed Bionicle from 2001-07, in which I'd call it their 'Golden Era', and from 2007-10 the storyline faded completely, at least to me and my friends that is.[/quote]
And I got into them 2007-2009. :P]]></description>
