These were some of my favorite toys as a kid. Anybody else remember it? (PS I also read the comics as a kid.)

Bionicle came after my childhood lego times, I always thought they were pointless. I enjoyed building buildings and stuff, not fidgety plastic people/machines.

Aren't they still quite popular? I didn't have many as a kid because they were a bit AFTER my time. I used to like k'nexs though.

The video game was awesome when I was smaller and would buy anything Bionicle. Now, I realize just how suckish it was.

Beleive it or not the story and mythology behind it was actually really cool.

Hell me and my friends still bust them out once in a while to build new guys. I agree they were freaking amazing. Although, alot of it was just milking (the ones you mentioned were basically rereleased later with different styles.)

Loved them as a kid, I still have a bunch of them. I think the Hero Factory sets have replaced Bionicles, I still get lego magazine and haven't seen anything for them for quite a while.

I think so too... I've continued getting the Magazine, which is why I was able to read the end of the Bionicle comic... I honestly have no idea how I kept getting them.. I haven't renewed my subscription in ages.

I used to love those things. I remember that one of their commercials introduced me to the band All American Rejects.

I know... it's really weird. Like I said I think the last time I renwed was when I was in sixth grade. And I think I got another magazine a few months ago.

BTW what did you think about the ending?

Oh ok. I kept getting them so I figured "I may as well read them." I thought it was fun to read them despite being obviously childish. But hey it was a big part of my younger days.

Yeah. I got a set for Christmas one year. It was so annoying to put together. If you make one mistake, it's near impossible to disassemble.

The movies were brilliant I reckon.

The lego was also great fun. I loved getting three bionicles of different colours and making a big guy
