I feel right writing for some reason lately. So why not express my opinion tonight?
Now that Bionicle has ended. Many fans or collectors are directing their attention to other LEGO products, mostly Bionicle's replacement Hero Factory. Some others (like me), are even buying items that aren't even LEGO products at all.
A lot of times I'm asked if I'll buy the Hero Factory sets. My reply is no, on the basis that it isn't Bionicle and that there isn't a point in buying them if they have nothing to do with Bionicle. The response from others is "You're stubborn and have no taste. They're made just like Bionicle sets so you should give them a chance". So that's the reason? Because they look like Bionicle sets and even are made of the same parts I should instantly take interest? I don't really see the point in that. It seems even weirder that people are jumping on the HF bandwagon just for this reason alone without even a thought. I guess you could lie to yourself and think it's Bionicle In the Future if you're that much in denial.
Anyway, I don't hate Hero Factory. I just don't see why I should like it. By all means if you enjoy it please love it until your hearts content, but I'll pass.
