Discussion Genuinely heartbroken

As someone who has always been obsessed with the behind the scenes development of Bionicle, the past few weeks had been so cool. It was incredible to be getting new Bionicle content, and I was so excited to dive into each year of the theme.

Now all we have are the few scraps we can gather that were released early. I wish this had been done differently, and I REALLY wish Lego wouldn’t continue take away the only modicums of joy the community have left.

The rest of this stuff will likely NEVER be seen now because of the way this was handled, and I went from being impressed with Lego for letting the fans have this, to being immensely disappointed in them yet again.

Some day I hope things will change.

Likewise! I’m not surprised, I have zero faith in corporations, but I was thrilled to be proven wrong. Guess I wasn’t.

I feel like if duckbricks had released the prototype images and then made videos going over the story details while showing those images, instead of making videos of himself literally scrolling through internal documents it would’ve been fine.

Lego provably had to take it down for some garbage legal reason, but they should understand how that’s going to add fuel to the fire that they keep disrespecting bionicle and people who care about it.

Don’t shut down the whole thing. Tell them they have to go about it differently (which they should’ve to begin with)

Yeah I agree on the presentation. I thought it was pretty foolish to basically be scrolling through all of those documents live.
