Phantoka Kopaka Nuva Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Why don't they start again playsets?Many people like that!It's system and bionicle too! Yeah, how many people are we talking here? Because so far, Battle Vehicles beat Playsets.
VSF Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Because they sold horribly. Personally, I greatly prefer the vehicles. Ditto man, ditto. I'm disappointed that the Piraka isn't Vezok, it would have been cool if it was. I mean, I thought the Piraka were great. So were the Rahkshi. And the Mata. And the Glatorian. :P
Bfahome Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Because they sold horribly. Personally, I greatly prefer the vehicles. Vehicles are nice, but the playsets had some really smexy parts that wouldn't have been available for a while otherwise.
Zip Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Vehicles are selling horribly too. Only reason they weren't discontinued was because movie production required the designers to speed up the sets. But yeah, I want some playsets.
jala12 Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Vehicles are better than playsets, but titans are far superior to vehicles.
~Wrack'n'Ruin~ Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 I think it depends on the product itself, not on the type of product it is.
The Crazy One Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 (edited) I think it depends on the product itself, not on the type of product it is. Well said. But would you rather spend £15 on a cool titan, or £45 of a cool vehicle? EDIT: I just had an epic idea. If we are having old cannister sets realeased as mini sets, surely we could have titan sized cannister sets? I wouldn't mind teradax as a cannister sized villan, or the return of Keetongu.

Omicron Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Well said. But would you rather spend £15 on a cool titan, or £45 of a cool vehicle? Neither. I would rather spend money on a good set. -Omi
The Crazy One Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Neither. I would rather spend money on a good set. -Omi It's a matter of opinion.
The Alchemyst Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 It's a matter of opinion. And that was his opinion. Dunno, all this canon nonsense is going to bite the story in the butt later on. No clue how this is all going to work. It does awfully feel like it's going to the deus ex machina direction. Well moreso than it ever did. ._. [-TA-]

They did that twice in that story.
squidman85 Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Because they sold horribly. Personally, I greatly prefer the vehicles. Horribly?I was going to the shops,and all playsets were sold out! I'm too,but i want playsets too,and they look like a bit of steampunk(a lot of bionicle and technic with system,but without engines ).
Brickthing Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Nothing is more Deus ex Machina than Axonn's special Zamor spheres. He had two of them. They did that twice in that story. Not that that incident wasn't horribly stretching it, but the set choice of 2010 does seem to be twisting the story in such ways that the entire BIONICLE saga will probably end with a Deus ex Machina. (Hopefully not via GBs) The annoying thing with the Stars lineup is that we're already finding out about disputable/unlikely storyline details before the year even starts, due to the choice of sets. Tahu is somehow going to return to a Mata form, and a Skakdi that obviously looks like Vezok is actually not, but still has a Piraka title, both examples of how the storyline is being twisted because of the sets. Horribly?I was going to the shops,and all playsets were sold out!I'm too,but i want playsets too,and they look like a bit of steampunk(a lot of bionicle and technic with system,but without engines ). There's still a few shops near me that still sell playsets, even a 2005 one.
Dannylonglegs Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Frankly I Like the thought of Tahu being a trump card, I mean, I love it when storys go full circle especialy since he looks mata (first post in this theme even though I'm a Bionicle geek(kinda))
Refia Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 To be honest, all I care about in 2010 is what happens to Ignika once Mata Nui's spirit gets out of it. Maybe a return of Toa Ignika? Probably not, and even if so, it'll be another wasted character with potential in the mess of the overal storyline. Bionicle suffers from too many characters, which can't be helped as it is a toy line. Still, I find it sad considering the potential the storyline has. It's strange how LEGO keeps 2010 under wraps like this. Sure, Greg revealed some stuff and we basically know what'll happen in the story, but I meant set-wise, and future-of-Bionicle-wise. Normally we'd be complaining about how awful the new sets look by now because of leaks. Now? Nothing, except fearing what a mess it'll be thanks to the Stars.
hollisbrick Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Hey guys! I was wondering where I could find the pics of the new bionicle. I can only find two..
80 Dollar Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Hey guys!I was wondering where I could find the pics of the new bionicle. I can only find two.. Here you go. Enjoy. :)
Bfahome Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) There's still a few shops near me that still sell playsets, even a 2005 one. dude where are you I need that set Anywho, I don't particularly care about the ending details of the story as long as the sets are interesting. Edited October 22, 2009 by Bfahome
Brickthing Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Here you go. Enjoy. :) Thanks! I've put that on the first post, so the images should be easier to find for others now. dude where are you I need that set Not at the NZ price plus overseas postage you don't.
The Crazy One Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Guys, has anyone seen the cannister pics of the Piraka and the Rahkshi, I can't find them on Brickshelf.
Bundalings Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Guys, has anyone seen the cannister pics of the Piraka and the Rahkshi, I can't find them on Brickshelf. I don't think anyone has 'em. ~Bunda
-Tilius- Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) My gallery has more and better quality images. Just so you know. And the Piraka and Rahkshi canister images aren't about yet. - Tilius Edited October 22, 2009 by -Tilius-
Bfahome Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 My gallery has more and better quality images. Just so you know. Not public yet. That's just maddeningly unhelpful. :\
The Crazy One Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Not public yet. That's just maddeningly unhelpful. :\ Ouch!
-Tilius- Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Nice reference. Yeah, I deleted the .txt set list thing, that's probably why it's like that. When it is public, however, it'll be FANTASTIC. - Tilius
