Bionicle 2010

In the interests of saving time --

I cannot discuss ANYTHING relating to BIONICLE 2010. I'm not allowed. That includes sets, story, etc. The fact that this site or that site may post things early does not change the rules I have to work under when I am on here.

Okay, so you can't talk about Bionicle in 2010.

What about 2011? :P

Greg, I know you can't comment on this, but I heard rumor that 2010 is BIONICLE's ending... well, can you comment onn this part if it's fake at least? I'm really worried since we're all seeing Star sets pop up without explanation :(

Glad you posted this.

I'll have BS01 staff link to this on BS01. That will help spread the word to keep the PMs at bay. -Swert

Just because they appeared on Target doesn't mean it is still official, we have to wait until further notice.

Besides, I'm sure nobody wants Greg to get fired just so we can know one tiny scrap of info about 2010. (JK Greg, I'm sure they wouldn't fire you if you told us.)

The only thing I do want to know - is 2010 officially counted as the Bionicle Centennial?

No, that would be summer 2101. Centennial=100 year anniversary.

One note -- I contacted the Brand Manager re: the Target web site, and they will be contacted and asked to take the Stars sets down as it is too early to be featuring them.

Hm... well, I at least thought that 2009 to 2011 will be the Mata Nui's adventures saga and 2012 to 2014 will be something new too. But I love BIONICLE no matter what. I simple end would actually be somehwta fine but only if we ever get all our remaining questions answered. I don't wanna bother you at all Greg, it's just that I really want to put in more foreshadowing once I make the BIONICLE movie series. But I will just wait as planned.

And 2010/2011 have been the most thought-of to be BIONICLE's 10th anniversary (woot!), since BIONICLE was released Decmeber 30, 2000 in Europe and sometime in July, 2001. In reference to 2001 being BIONICLE's first year, that means 2010 isn't BIONICLE's 10th anniversary (woot again!) but rather its tenth year, at least...

Even though this is off-topic, I just really gotta say this: Greg, really, Vakama's turn to the Visorak in 2005 really WAS a great storyling detail! Vakama was the greatest choice to having done so, IMHO, than Matau, because of all the foreshadowing in the books and movie in 2004. Examples are how Vakama never saw himself as a true leader but later when he took up the role he felt as though he wasn't fit to be so. And he had that whole big connection with Lhikan and thinking it was his fault and all (which it was :P ). And plus I think Vakama's turn had MUCH batter reason than Anakin's turn in Star Wars, as Anakin simply wished to learn the Dark Side and become powerful enough to stop people from dying, while Vakama's turn wasn't all about supernatural power but rather about true leadership and all. And plus, Vakama/Matau had much stronger dialogue is Web of Shadows rather than Anakin in Revenge of the Sith.

Sorry for getting so completely off-topic, sorry staff and all readers/viewers...

Well, now. That's fine.

But it's just so weird that Target posted them so early.

And I barely ever PMed you, so that pretty much keeps me off from asking about 2010.

I gotta disagree on Vakama -- as you said, he had this deep connection to Lhikan and felt he had failed him. Wouldn't turning evil and attacking his fellow Toa be failing him even worse? Why, then, would he do that? Captain America blamed himself for his sidekick's death for decades, he didn't turn bad and attack the Avengers as a result. He fought harder to honor his memory. Keep in mind all that foreshadowing you refer to was done BECAUSE we already knew what the plot of the '05 movie would be at that point. Otherwise, his character would have been developed differently.
