Bionicles were the bomb back in the day.
MehEdits
The mind corrupting mask it has; much fun with that bionicle
J0NKER
silly lego, trying to bring bionicle back in 2015 with no story, comics, or effort...
Snotgrot
I know nothing about Bionicle, but I do have this exact model on a shelf next to me (I'm surprised the rubber band is still good)
Umbreon07
I remember switching the white fangs and fighting to see which of these could tear the mask out of the other's flip case first.

omg hungry hippos style as you thrust the chicken necked beasts head into battle

We're... ahem... still are!
UndeadLahmacun
My childhood... I got more Bionicles than Ash has got pikemons. Check my profile if you want to see some of my builds;)
Xenarion
Those look pretty cool. Reminds me I have to post mine one day.
UndeadLahmacun
Thanks:) I'm looking forward to your post!

Bionicles was the shit.

I had Slizers, which I loved. Unfortunately, Bionicle are slightly after my time.

Aye, Slizers were... interesting.

If I had to choose a picture to represent my awesome childhood this would be it
TeamRocketBlastOffAtTheSpeedOfLightSurrenderNowOrPrepareToFight
That and Gundum/Zaku action figures. My favorite http://pm1.narvii.com/6176/d256e5d7f043a19d2067e354783b8924217eea57_hq.jpg

I have a moving tub of Bionicle. Most of the parts are from a spare parts tub I found at a store. The rest are from th second gen toa and up
Brocid3n
It's difficult to get rid of such fun childhood toys.
venomlash
yo anyone else remember Throwbots too?
J0NKER
and the short-lived roboriders. (I thought they were called slizers till just now, but slizers and throwbots were the same thing...)
lorcan0c
It was a regional thing. They were "Throwbots" in the states, "Slizers" in Europe.
fettslave1
Yep, I still have all 8 of the core Throwbots fully assembled in their containers. I'm glad people still remember these toys.
EmotionallyUnstableAndPossiblyViolentAnakinSkywalker
remember when they came in special tubes
Br0doSwaggins
Punderstandable
I LOVED that you could hang them in the tubes like pupating larvae.
GiantEarlobe
I used to be able to dismantle and rebuild these without instructions it was the best shit ever
WhyAmIHereIShouldBeWorking
The Baraki were badass, especially carapar
Morkney
I used to call him 'Crappar' because his colour scheme looked like a poo
TerranMikkus
nah man the rakshi is where it was at
VERYANGRY
I could still tell you waaay too much about the lore. God. I mean, Mata Nui. Or Great Beings.
tordendue
l just brought the first lore book they published, and l'm super stoked
RoodKontjeAapje
No way dude, these were so cool that you could invent your own lore.
DJMankiewics
Same here
doesnotexistanymoredeprecatedaccountthanksforthememories
Now that I think of it, they sound so much like Maori.
ImHereToTellYouThatsWrong
that's where they lifted almost the entire lore from.
doesnotexistanymoredeprecatedaccountthanksforthememories
Probably why the Maori teacher told us to learn about them :P
Fextrus
Mata Nui the island, Mata Nui the robot, or Mata Nui the spirit? The lore was so in depth, I really appreciate the world building now.
StalkerSan
They're all one and the same. The Island was just dirt on his face.
TerranMikkus
no, the island was named of the spirit, but it was also technically a part of the spirits body
J0NKER
back when mcdonalds gave out those matoran disk throwers... instead of cups like the kids get today.
lorcan0c
Modern day McDonalds toys suck. I feel sorry for today's kids. "Hey, you like Lego Batman right? WELL HERE'S A CUP WITH HIS FACE ON IT!"

I remember buying one, taking it home, and then seeing that some asshole had stolen the parts. Devastated my 9 year old self.
RjWho
Put those white fangs on upside down and watch your friends turn saltier than the Atlantic ocean
smileyalyssa
yes! i was going to say the same thing. turn those fangs upside down and start jabbing your friends with them.
Drivescrewu
THEY STILL ARE AWESOME. *sobs in the corner*
PedanticGonkDroid
I want an open-world Mata Nui game. There's a Skyrim mod in the works, but it's a huge and slow project.

Don't forget busting up your prepubescent fingers trying to snap together the B&S joints while your dad threatens you with jumper cables
Pedrolopolis
That might have been just you.. My dad never threatened me. Lot'o surprises though! Quite a shocking youth.
TotallySaneScientist
Are we just not going to bury it in at least ONE reply?
somanywonders987
We had to bury my dog after my dad beat it. At Mario kart. Weird day.

Those were the days

I don't.
Alvi123
There was a thread on reddit asking about bad things that happened to the users, and one said that his dad threatened him with them cables.
talel81
Thanks.
AliBarber
Were? They're still around friend. And as an adult you can buy them YOURSELF
Schmuck4hire
Sort of. They got cancelled again.
AliBarber
FUCKING DAMMIT
Fextrus
Wait really? That's a damn shame.
Schmuck4hire
And they didn't even do all three of their "minimum" three year run, so their sales must have tanked HARD.
StealthyOctopus
No matter what it's sad but I did not like the look of rebooted versions.
Schmuck4hire
There was definitely a kiddier attitude this time. They forget that the non-childish vibe was what caught our attention in the first place.
OrbitusII
The new ones have nowhere near the depth of lore or writing quality of the originals. Sure they exist, but it's not the same.
jackisbored999
well, bionicle g1 had like 10 years of comics, novels, games and movies to give it lore. g2 only had barely 2 years and a netflix show
OrbitusII
True enough, though I can't shake the feeling that the intent of G2 was to profit off of G1's nostalgia and fame.
StealthyOctopus
(1) Just to be clear we're calling everything from their creation to the first cancellation G1 right? I get it but that seems really long
StealthyOctopus
(2) like if all the Star Trek series and movies before the 2009 movie was G1 and everything after that is G2.
OrbitusII
I'm considering G1 to be everything prior to Hero Factory, G2 is the newer stuff after Hero Factory was killed
