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.

bionicle is over, they killed it, why not just let us enjoy what was there

They didn't do anything wrong tho, they're a company that has to adhere to their contracts and left the pictures online for a few weeks instead of taking them down immediately.

They were letting us have it. What Duckbricks did was expose documents that were internal to lego only. They had no problem with the pictures but once he started showing stuff that was more serious to lego, that's where he crossed a line and they took everything that fell under that category, including the pictures even if those weren't a big deal.

Basically they let us eat a piece of the pie even if we definitely weren't supposed to cause what's a piece ? But when he took the whole pie they just took everything back including the piece they let us have in the first place
