User blog comment:Invader39/The End of BIONICLE/@comment-24544871-20160731170154

I've actually kind of expected this. Many of the sets (in my eyes) were abysmal in construction and certainly poorly planned (I'm looking at you skull scorpio and ketar). We've seen how far lego had evolved in the pass, puting more detail and effort into things. I would say the only good things about Bionicle G2 was the first wave. Those sets certainly had effort in them, but from there, it all just went downhill fast. In my opinion, they tried to bring something proceded to be dead and failed. There was just too many obvious limitations and expectations.

I also feel that CCBS is certainly a building system that probably no longer will be used that often. It was a nice idea, but considering the numerous lego sets that tend to have play features and intricate details, I feel that CCBS fails in this regard. And the problem I see with technic is how complex and exclusive it tends to be, especially if you consider you're demographic is kids. Just look at bionicle in the past, they always had create new technic molds to fit the figures.

This may just be the end of lego action figure sets for a long while. It may be a long time until we see something else to revive this, no doubt they'll probably create a new building system. Perhaps something mixed between CCBS and Technic, but even that crosses my mind as something difficult. Either way, sales for lego action figures had certainly been dropping, the contraction sets had rarely met the expectations of lego.

All I say is hopefully it won't be long until we get some kind of new action figure building system. And hopefully any future ideas within this genre are much more originally created. This way writers and designers could have no limits (except with the budget). And hopefully with whatever new theme we may get lego won't mess up the marketing campaign for it. That is all I have to say.
