>>10741029What you said and he said isn't mutually exclusive. You even say "if given the chance", but the one to give the designers the chance would be Lego the corporation that doles out the money to the designers. That said, I don't think they hate it, otherwise they wouldn't have ok'd the GWP (though I don't think it's any different than say Blacktron, Castle, etc, just nostalgia themes for aging fans), they merely go where the money is and they don't trust that there is any in Bionicle at the moment. Further, it's a bit of an unusual theme, not being that core Lego system, and grouped more in the step child that is Technic, so whenever there are things like the Lego movie, Technic is rarely a part of it in any capacity outside of its functions, which have been integrated into various system sets. Basically Bionicle played a part in Lego's history, and Lego was better for it. They may not talk about it all that often, and it's significance may never really be stressed, but it's still always featured in historical pieces, at least.
Bionicle was also one of the 3 themes featured on that hat with patches recently, so that's another bone. I'd like to think that eventually they'll release a Bionicle 3 Virtues coin too.
