“You may look like a hero, you may feel like a hero. You may be one Inika, you may be many. You may have new masks, new armor, new equipment… but it’s not what you got, it’s what you do with it, that makes you a hero.”
well said my friend ‘98 here what breaks me the most is watching High school documentary of a normal day back in the late 90s early 2000s i miss those days more than anything.
I don't even think the next generation didn't want to I think Legos became luxury toys and most of the cool toys died or turned into pure hype like Barbie's at 20$ a doll it's sad because that's the one thing that inflation should effect less but it's one of the biggest increases across the board :( 2000 gang
Broke my heart in the car my younger siblings were vibing to it so I told them this was the bionicle song when I was a kid and they responded with what's bionicles and I remembered they don't exist anymore 🙁
They need to do something, bionicle could be a hit now if they brought back the old line with the cans for the toas and the lot. Then they could sell them at a lower price point letting people to collect more. Idk I just want to see bionicle back.
it was truly something else to be children at the very peak of American capitalism. our entertainment was so amazingly perfect we almost couldn’t hear our parents fighting upstairs.
I’m a more recent Bionicle fan. I’m too you to have experience any of this with you guys. But I feel an indescribable feeling of I guess “Secondhand nostalgia” for all of those years. Unity, duty, and destiny.
As cliche as it may sound, this song helped me through a hard time. I wasn't sure if I could keep going, but this song gave me a little strength and courage. If nothing else, it reminded me that even if my hope was gone, when everything was wrong, I could still move along.
I was already GROWN when the Bionicle toys ad was created with this music. It was so bad-ass it made me search for the song, and it's been an associated memory ever since. LEGO should do an official relaunch with this video you made. Good work, Toa!
The Toa Inika commercial will never be beaten by another toy company. Watching them storm the gate to move along, Matoro dodging and deflecting the bullets, Nupar cocking a shotgun ready to shoot anything that moves, and Jaller cutting the gates as they all jump forward in unison and the title card appears. Its just perfect
They won't get money for starting all the production again from scratch. Their concern was always of how to have as little equipment to produce as many separate sets as they can. Making a small line of sets will cost them more then they'll gain.
@@meyearsago-lc8bq this exactly, the molds would cost a fortune, and it sucks because the sets have only gotten rarer and more expensive as time has passed. even if they ALL sold out they wouldn't make a profit.
How about this, not only re- release the sets with the old molds but also add even more pieces to make the figures with better articulation just like the mocs, they could add this to the lore as a toa's or matoran's super form.
@@CesarLopez1459 I don't think you understand; the old molds are gone. Lego periodically destroys their old molds; all the old BIONICLE molds (and I think even the Hero Factory constraction molds) are entirely gone. They would have to redesign the molds from scratch, which would cost a LOT. That's why the 2023 BIONICLE Tahu get-with-purchase set was made out of bricks. That being said, the existence of GWP Tahu gives me hope. We may not get BIONICLE in its original form. But if we get any BIONICLE at all I will be thankful.
“You may look like a hero, you may feel like a hero. You may be one Inika, you may be many. You may have new masks, new armor, new equipment. You may activate your powerful light up sword and load your multi shot Zamor launcher. But it’s not what you got, it’s what you do with it… that makes you a hero.”
Right, bionicle commercials were insane and felt like mini movies expanding the lore. Makes me wish we had a movie from each line. Cause those movies could be really dark if they wanted to.
I really loved Bionicle despite it's flaws. The characters and lore really is pretty good besides the stuff like there only being female water Matoran and Toa and Fire almost always being the leading Toa. But those things were tropes of the time and the series did grow past them and only used them because they didn't want another retcon. I remember liking characters like Takanuva and Jaller a lot along with Matoro, Nokama and Zactan. Man I remember having the 2006 stuff be my fav cos the villains were very sneaky in it. 2007 was good too and I loved the mystery of 2001 to 2003. TBH the (Story) flaw with the remake was removing the Matoran and the mask powers since it made things too simple. It was smart to start back with the orginal 6 and stuff but they didn't put enough money into the series and the advertising.
Hahli was gonna be the leader of the group after the group from Mask of Light. But they scrapped the idea of making that story for some unknown reasons…
Its 2002 and you just came from the lego store looking at the instructions for building the bionicle trying to finishing before bedtime then waking up to seeing another commercial for the exact one you knew you wanted most and looking forward to getting it and building that one too
The author of this video tried so hard as much ... as even I would not have done so badly. In some places, the sound has not been removed from commercials, and this is a huge minus. And these videos are not changed often enough, which is why it shows almost all the ads. If they changed more often, then it would be much more dynamic and exciting to watch. (Don't think, I'm not a Bionicle hater, on the contrary, I'm a big fan of this universe, and the song from this video is simply amazing!)
