And Move Along is a really enjoyable song.

Move Along is definitely one of the best songs in my book. But Hero is kind of stall to me. I don't understand why people like it so much.

Try hearing it six times every night for a year. You'll change your tune, I assure you.

Well I got Tahu today and he is just such a cool set. I'm happy bionicle came back.

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.

Yea I had a hands on with Tahu for the first time from a school friend, and man those sets are HUGE compared back to the Glatorian days man.

Creeping in my Soul, and Closer to the Truth were my top favorites.

I like that they've simplified things, but at the same time, one of the things I loved most about the original one was the massive amount of world-building that went into, the sheer depth and scope of everything.

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.

They're deffinitely not going as story-heavy to start.

To be fair, OG Bionicle didn't start that in-depth either. It took a few years to get that deep.

But still, the characters and locales were already plenty fleshed-out. Damn near everyone had a name at the very least.

But that was only because of the MNOLG.

Bionicle 2015 really needs a game like that.
