For me it was around 2005 - the storyline and titans were amazing (the movie was the best of the three), and I actually like the visorak and how despite having the same base design there were at least a decent amount of physical differences between the sets. But the rahaga and hordika actually were what made me tune out of Bionicle after 05. I remember seeing the leak of the rahaga and going yeaaaaa….i think I’ve started to outgrow this. Just felt very transparently greedy on Lego’s part, it wasn’t even a clever or interesting re-use of parts.

A year later the voya nui Matoran came out and while on a build level they were at least interesting, it was another case of easy parts reuse that bothered me. Felt like they really had stopped trying.

Then I heard “yo yo the piraka” and packed it up. I was already 16 at this time so I was already way more into playing bass and listening to the shitty metalcore that everyone loved at the time.

And just so this isn’t just a thread of negativity: what got you back into it? I think for me it was about two or three years ago, I don’t remember exactly, but it was post-pandemic, when my parents gave me an ultimatum about my remaining keepsakes which literally was just a giant bin of technic pieces.

You see, after I stopped following by Bionicle I took all of my sets apart and was still building MOCs for years. So aside from a few sets that I sold on BZPower most of my collection remained with me throughout the remainder of my time living with my parents until I left the house at 18. It was all there, just in pieces. I spent the next day I had at my parents house rebuilding a bunch of my old sets with my brother, and then bringing everything back to my house. I even brought the giant bag of my Bionicle sets over to my girlfriend‘s house to explain to her the joys of Bionicle.

Several years later, every once in a while, I take the bin out and seeing what I can rebuild. Just yesterday, I finished my old Muaka.

Edit: this thread is making me realize how old I am

Basically, the set or wave, that didn't end up doing too well, and got vastly forgotten as time went by. In my opinion it's gotta be Toa Hordika. I mean, sure there were sets which are more forgettable, that less people even know the existence of, like the bad guy / good guy sets... but these are small goofy sets quite irrelevant to the whole Bionicle world. The Hordika on the other hand... I mean, an entire team of 6 Toa! And it seems like after all those years... Noone really cares about them. Everyone remembers the toa mata, the inika, mahri, nuva... but not Hordika. You don't see Mocs of custom Hordika, you don't see anyone saying those were their favorite, you rarely see anyone in th le comunnity even mention them. And for the right reasons, I suppose, because the sets were quite ugly and pretty much copycats of each other. Thoughts?
