Can someone give me a rundown on bonkle? I missed out on the golden age not really being too aware of it, and then I collected hero factory but I understand they aren't connected themes.

Aside from bonkle I just want to say: please take me back to the 2000s, please I do not want to live in a world like this, take me back to when it was warm and sunny and "real life" seemed to be millennia away.

it had 4 distinct eras and story arcs
>2001 - 2003
the mata nui arc, often considered to be the golden age of the franchise, bio mechanical tribal island aesthetic
>2004 - 2005
the metru nui arc, prequel arc that is presented as the elders from the first arc telling a story to the original cast
>2006 - 2008
the ignition arc, mata nui (the guy) is dying and he needs to be revived or else the world ends, a lot of returning minor characters from the 2001 - 03 era return here in a feature role in 2006/7, 2008 has the original toa take centre stage again
>2009/10
the bara manga arc, completely different setting with entirely new characters except for one, story was cut short due to line cancellation but ends well enough i guess
in terms of sets i'd say 2001 > 2002 > 2004 > 2003 > 2007 > 2009 > 2005 > 2008 > 2006 > 2010

for the books it's chronicles > adventures > legends, chronicles is the first arc, adventures is the second, legends is the third and fourth
read in numerical order, naturally
adventures and legends are written by a different guy, who also did the story for the comics
i'm not super familiar with the comics so i can't help you there

Bricklink for convenience and generally fair prices, plus checking eBay and Facebook for the occasional deal. Never pay more than the lowest Bricklink price unless you're accounting for shipping.

Bricklink for parts, ebay/Facebook/craigslist/mercari for bulk. The former will cost a little more usually but you'll get exactly what you want, sooner. The latter is a fucking roll of the dice but you can get lucky.

All I wanted was a second Umarak, the rest is just bonus.

Ebay and bricklink. Ebay still has the occasional "clueless person doesn't know what the actual value of stuff is" lot although they are getting rarer, and bricklink for actual specifics.
I've gotten a few misprint noble masks from lots that I sold for profit over the years since I don't care about doing a collection or using them.

nta but mnog is considered to be one of the highlights of the 2001 story, it was a flash game released at the time and arguably did the bulk of the heavy lifting for that first year in terms of story
it's technically a sequel to a gba game but it's not relevant in the slightest to mnog and most people don't even know it's a sequel at all
a download for it is on the biomedia project site, op has a link for it

mnog is a good starting point, all the characters relevant to the first year introduce themselves, or are introduced by others
the other games are hit or miss, they can be fun but generally aren't considered canonical

the story is a bit of a mess understanding what happens when sometimes, the best way i can describe it is that what's happening in mnog is taking place throughout the first year of the story, the first chronicles book is from the perspective of the toa while mnog is that of a tohunga/ matoran
some things also don't always line up 1:1 with each other, but that's to be expected when things are written by multiple different people at different times
the movies are strange, they somewhat take place in their own separate canon but iirc the novelizations line up better with the other books
the movies also don't start at the beginning, or end at the end
the three movies were released in 2003, 2004, and 2005, with the first movie, mask of light, being about the latter half of the story that year
the 2004 movie is technically the middle portion of the 2004 story, and 2005 is the whole year give or take
i should note that the broader story isn't super relevant to the movies, they all have a beginning, middle, and end that are self contained to themselves
favourite bionicle is a tough question, as a set i've always liked 2001 lewa, but as a character i think vakama is pretty neat by the end of the adventures books

order everything came out in is more or less chronological, the books in the prequel years all start with an excerpt that informs the reader that this is a story about the past being told in the present, and has some characters from the first arc speak briefly to the storyteller
there's a single exception to this, but it's the last adventures book about a private adventure none of the other characters are aware of

for books start with chronicles #1 tale of the toa
mata nui online game also takes place roughly at the same time but from a different perspective
then just go through the books in numerical order, after chronicles it's the adventures books, after that it's legends
the 2009/10 story doesn't have a label associated with them afaik
there are also the comics which sometimes go into more detail about things absent from the books, but i don't really know much about them
i think it goes bionicle (1 - 27) bionicle ignition (1 - 15) and bionicle glatorian (1 - 7)

Sometimes I think about how big of a wasted potential the G2 protector sets were. They had 10 years worth of lore and sets to pull inspiration from, they could have gone all in on the fanservice instead of randos who all have the same mask and a shitty stud shooter.
>Turaga with inspiration from both their Turaga and Toa sets
>Matoran pulling elements from their Inika and Mahri sets as well as lore elements -> Jaller with bits of Lhiikan's design, Nuparu getting a weapon ressembling the Boxor fists, Kongu with a giant bird (large set), Matoro with a mask vaguely resembling the Ignika, etc
>Bringing back other relevant Matoran -> Ahkmou (set him up to become a villain from the start), any member of the Chronicler's company, or Onepu with Pewku

They should have done a new story informed by the old, instead of a new continuity with meaningless name drops for iconicity's sake. Have the Toa be brand new characters, but the Protector sets be the same Turaga from Metru/Mata Nui. It would have opened up the question of 'where have all the other characters gone' for the story, but likewise would have given you enough disconnect that it didn't alienate kids.

Lego are always a few years behind in understanding what kids actually like, and their attempt to distance Bionicle from 'deep lore' when this idea was becoming popular with the zoom zooms was a huge mistake. That said, having G2 shackled to the utter mess that G1's lore became would also have been a mistake
