omg I saw Kopaka omg 8'D

Anyway, sure it sounds exciting, but knowing modern-day LEGO I'm afraid they're going to dumb down the plot. The best part of BIONICLE was, without a doubt, the complexity of its storyline. LEGO hasn't made a decent plot independently (so The LEGO Movie doesn't count) since Bio ended back in 2010.

With the high (but also somewhat grainy) resolution, I could get a better look at the sets on display there. Unfortunately I can't say I'm impressed with the models themselves. They just look... Gaudy (why in the world does Kopaka have a bright yellow chestplate??), plus they're lacking in complexity thanks to the re-use of the original Hero Factory shells.

I mean, c'mon guys, you remember what the BIONICLE sets were like. Where's all the tiny hydraulics? All those complicated little details in the armor, and in their masks? I really hope that LEGO at least molds some more detailed parts.

Overall, I know I probably ought to be excited, but instead I find myself on the fence about the new sets and what the /new/ plot is going to be like. I have my fingers crossed that LEGO doesn't screw it up.
