>>6691464>it just sold poorlyIt did. But the reason it sold poorly is a little more important. A lot of people, myself included, think it wasn't because the sets themselves were intrinsically bad or unappealing for their target audience, but rather a lack of compelling advertising, mismanagement of the property or misunderstanding why it was successful in the first place, and maybe just a little bit of negligence. This was during an advertising rollback too. So The ire towards Lego is earned, even if some of it is ill informed or misguided. There was no conspiracy to put Bionicle in the ground, just a perfect storm of corporate and consumer apathy. I think the only guy who had any enthusiasm working on Bionicle, besides the spastic set designers, was Windham.
