Now, some things I'd like to say about this new line. Does anyone else feel like Lego is playing it a bit too safe for this line. I mean the protectors don't have names and LOSS was defeated so, quickly.

Now I know that there are like two books coming later in the year. But does anyone feel that there are missed opportunities in this new story? Now I my self am okay with it, but feel like there could be something more to it.

This new stuff, great as it is, just feels so... underwhelming.

Currently they are playing it safe. Bionicle hasn't been the star of LEGO for years now (that goes to Ninjago these days), so I'm guessing they're testing the waters first to see how it'll fare.

Apparently outside the fans, the general audience relates better to a more simplified mythology, rather than the complex one that Bionicle G1 became, hence the toning down with the unique names. But who knows, if Bionicle G2 is successful, LEGO might dare to be a little bit more ambitious.

One thing's for sure, they didn't skimp on the toyline and for that, I'm happy.
