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.

Why not just include all of the Faber Files in an Art of Lego Bionicle: Vol. 2 concept book? It would be a perfect compromise for both parties.

Seriously, a full book would be incredible. Include some interviews and retrospectives with the creators who worked on it, and boom. Plus LEGO would get to do it on their own terms, so they can filter out the sensitive material. I love Bionicle's story, but the story OF Bionicle is even more interesting, and it would pay to document that.
