Makuta what? If you're talking about Makuta Teridax (the main villain) he was released as a set. Twice, actually.

Which unreleased character do you most want as a set?: Makuta
I only started liking it a few years before Lego stopped it, but I liked it so BRING IT BACK!

I'll take this as wanting more Makuta sets (like Kojol and Tridax) and accept you with this.

I think we need some banners and userbars. Do you think you can get someone to make them? There are plenty of artists here on SPPf, though I don't know anyone specific who would help.

[No. 1 Machop Fan]

We did have a banner contest going in the deviantArt branch but it was mostly forgotten because no-one entered. The contest is still running even now though.

It is with deep sorrow that I must inform the club of the passing of one of the club's most loyal members, Linkden from the official chatroom. Last night he was attacked by a man wielding a knife. In the ensuing fight, both Link and the man died, along with a man who had come to assist Linkden.

Linkden will be sadly missed by all the staff at the Bring Back Bionicle Club, and best remembered for his loyalty, valour and love of rap. He was an aspiring rap musician who had recorded a few songs prior to his passing, and I for one was really looking forward to him releasing an album.

R.I.P Linkden, forever my brother, forever in our hearts.

I have no idea who Linkden is, but this... I don't even know. May he rest in peace.

Thanks for adding that tribute to this branch for me. I was going to do it myself at a later point, but you saved me the trouble.

I'm still traumatised at his death. He died unfulfilled. He had a massive rap career ahead of him, and this event took it away. That's what hurt the most about this.

Accepted. Welcome to the club!

I do wish the builder of Poison released instructions of him. If they did I'd certainly add him to my collection!

agreed he looks badass in the bionicle encylopedia

[No. 1 Machop Fan]

You have the encyclopedia? I'm jealous!

I should try and get one from eBay or a order one from a book store some time because they never sold in Australia.

I have a few comics that I got in a kids' magazine, and another that appeared at Toys 'r' Us and I somehow got for free. I also bought the Graphic Novel Legends Of Bara Magna online, and ordered Swamp of Secrets and The Final Battle. I'm also considering getting Time Trap at some point too.

I paid like $39 for around 4 bionicle books a month through a subscription =P Twas heaps mad!

Lucky! I don't think Australia had any sort of subscription to Bionicle books!

BTW, regarding Linkden from the chatroom, it turns out he actually survived the attack! He is currently in hospital on life support, and only just woke up last night. I give my sincere apologies for my mistake.

Actually, you can get them via scholastic.

I think you could only do that via school, unless I'm mistaken. If I have to do it online, forget it! Too dangerous financially. Plus, going to the bookshop to place the order gives me plenty of exercise.

They used to sell them at borders.

I updated the site with a list of LEGO CUUSOO projects regarding official Bionicle characters like Helryx and Artakha.

I've since created my own such project, which I'll add tomorrow: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/3654

[LordVader2719]

We need a new discussion! How about... Favorite Bionicle book!
Mine is Tales of the Masks because I haven't read Time Trap of the various stories, rather than just one. It also makes you wonder about the Turaga's past, and why they're hiding it from the Toa. For almost the same reason, I love Legacy of Evil.

[No. 1 Machop Fan]

OP updated!

My favourite book is Swamp of Secrets, as it reveals the pasts of the Toa Mata, and a whole new side to them!

[empoleon49]

The book I liked most was Chronicles 1: Tales of the Toa. Damn, I hate hero factory...

That'll do. I just added you to the list!

I'm actually quite a bit like Kopaka, with quite a bit of Vezon too.

Many club members hate HF for replacing Bionicle, and I'm no exception. Despite that, I do allow discussion of it, as long as it remains civil.

[LordVader2719]

I don't like HF, but you have to admit, the sets are pretty cool.

I got a DVD with the lasted issue of Lego Club, and it had quite a bit of HF on it. I decided I'd give it a chance and watch it. So I did. The graphics were good. The voices were good. The story... It was... it was terrible. The names weren't creative, either.
At the end of it, two creators of HF (I don't remember their names) had a competition with each other of who could build the coolest creation using pieces of specific HF sets. That was pretty cool.
I have yet to watch the rest of the DVD.

Hero Factory is really just a sucky bionicle....

Hero Factory is really just a sucky bionicle....

It's aimed at a younger audience. While it does have a lot in common with Bionicle, there are many differences, most notably the lack of a complex story in HF.

Bionicle had what some might consider "too much" story, and HF has next to nothing. I think whatever will replace HF will strike a great story balance. I'd love to say that something would be Bionicle, since its story's position would be perfect for that, but I honestly doubt it.

[Power464646]

Topic idea! Which character would you least like to be locked up with?

I don't think it would be a Makuta, but I think it would be Kadras.
