Bionicle 2001-2010 Rest In Peace

This video is NOT mine it belongs to Vahkiti. I found this video on another site and downloaded it. It isn't until the owner brought this to my attention that I knew of him actually being he owner of this video.


Bionicle has ended. The Bionicle Stars were supposed to be released around January 2010 but I guess Lego wanted to get them in stores before Christmas and end it all in 2009. But Bionicle officially ends in 2010. I am deeply saddened by the end of bionicle. It has always been a big part of my childhood but nothing lasts forever. Rest In Peace Sweet Prince.....

A message from the lego company
" Dear BIONICLE Fans, In reviewing the business across all of its play patterns and properties, the LEGO Group faced a tough question: should we take on a new creative challenge in the world of buildable figures that we pioneered in 2001? BIONICLE re-invented the way consumers think of and play with the LEGO system. Through many chapters of compelling story and innovative product development, BIONICLE became a very strong property and an important part of The LEGO Groups business. We think there is a significant opportunity to grow the buildable figure category, but it will take a more flexible platform that appeals to a wider range of ages through a variety of different entry points than BIONICLE has proven to deliver. The easy decision would be to stick with a known entity in BIONICLE; but as history has proven, The LEGO Group achieves its greatest success by embracing the uncertainty that innovation brings. After all, BIONICLE almost never launched because it was such a big risk to the companys way of doing business. Because you have been such an important part of building the BIONICLE franchise and have been among its most valued fans, we are writing to tell you that the six BIONICLE Stars launching in January will be the last BIONICLE sets for the foreseeable future. Beginning in summer 2010, The LEGO Group will debut a new, more flexible buildable figure property created by the same people who brought you BIONICLE. At the same time, we are also expanding the category to appeal to a younger audience through an established third-party property, starting in January. Since its beginning, BIONICLE has reflected the union of great product and a compelling story. Although there presently are no plans for more sets, the BIONICLE story is not ending. BIONICLEstory.com will remain an active site, with new story content updated by long-time BIONICLE writer Greg Farshtey. In addition, LEGO Group hopes to work with you, the fans, to continue to grow and expand the BIONICLE story universe. This was an extremely difficult decision for all involved. But as seen in the tales of the Toa, striving for success in any mission requires imagination, new ways of thinking, and the willingness to take risks. We hope you will share the same level of enthusiasm we have for our plans for the buildable figure category. We invite you to remain a part of the BIONICLE universe—a universe you have helped to build, and that we are confident that you will continue to build—in the future. Thank you for your continued support and dedication to the BIONICLE and LEGO brands. With our very best regards, Jan Faltum, Global BIONICLE Director Lincoln Armstrong, Senior Brand Manager, BIONICLE Team Member since 2002 "

@PhantomSanity0 Its true heroes aren't made in factories ... they are wrought from the earth, set in stone, forged in fire, cleansed by water, sure as the wind, everlasting like ice, and shined upon by light to cast away the darkness
