I'm now completely fed up with the complainers here. It never stops. BZPower is becoming less and less enjoyable to go on, so I have decided to move on. I'm leaving for good...
It's good to here your back, Greg. Though it is sad to here no books in 2010 , oh well, there will still be seriels, comics and random bits of facts you give out here for story.
You've never actually finished the game? Wow. The ending battle is multi-epic. And when you finish, you learn what became of the various decisions you made in the game. Not to mention unlockable characters like Ghost Rider and Silver Surfer are awesome.
Can't wait for the second game to come out this year.
Oh... I was glad to see a new blog entry, indicating Greg is back... but then... If scholastic stops making Bionicle books, could you get a new publisher? One that puts out more advertisements? Does AMEET publish books in the US?
2010 will definately be interesting with out the extra story from the books. obviously this early I can't tell how it will shape up, but I'm not super hopeful...
will story serials still be a component of the website in '10, or is that still unknown? I think that really benefit the line and provide a great resource for kids who might have liked the books but did not have access to them.
But really? That team in Ultimate Alliance is too normal. Mix it up a bit! And if you want to hear a really funny conversation on murder world, Get deadpool for the boss! hilarious! My personal favorite team would be Deadpool, Venom, Ghostrider, and Nightcrawler.
There are no plans to end the serials. I honestly don't know what impact the lack of books will have overall -- we have about 1.5 million people getting the comic every other month, just in the US alone, but only about 30,000 copies of the books were selling, so I am not sure the majority of the fanbase will notice they are gone (sad to say). I would really have liked to have at least one book for 2010, but it is what it is ... that's just the nature of publishing. One year, they want 16 books because they can't keep them in stock, and a few years later, there's just no interest at all.
To Jimmybob's point, it is certainly a logical question to ask (and I have asked it myself on a number of issues) -- at the same time, I don't think they saw a big boost in sales in 2005 or 2006. Personally, I think the 2009 movie is going to be a big shock to a lot of people -- I think it is miles better than the other ones and is going to do well enough that it is going to catch a lot of people associated with BIONICLE unprepared. Maybe I am just being optimistic, but that is what I would like to see happen.
*Yami*
Just wondering, though. Considering past Toyfairs, are you at all suprised by the overall positive response to the upcoming summer sets?
I translated "It's Done" as something like this:

Too bad about the books, though.

Did you have a nice break?
