Death Of LEGO Hero Factory

In this video I will tell the story and the reason for the demise of the LEGO Hero Factory theme

Hero factory is a clear case of not appreciating what you got until it’s gone

As a kid growing up in the late 2000's to 2010's Hero factory was a massive part of my childhood. Lego was my all time favourite toy, and the heroes were like massive transformers too my minifigures. I just absolutely loved it.

To this day, I'm sad they cancled the theme, I would happily have kept collecting them. I still have all my old ones proudly on my shelf

If hero factory got brought back i think it might help Lego company out of its recession.

[hungnguyenquang]

I can't believe lego cancelled hero factory to bring back Bionicle only for it to end like a year

[mechanwhal]

The second I saw the Heroes reduced to minifigures I knew the line was doomed.

I Want Both Lego Hero Factory and Lego Mixels To Come Back.

i blame the Bionicle reboot for why hero factory ended...but now Bionicle is in da grave and there is no new set of lego action figures...i don't even remember the last time we used CCBS in a lego set!

I was in the ideal age range when hero factory came out, and I did enjoy what it offered. But before that point, I had gotten glimpses into bionicle during its own late years. Even though I was "too young" I still was mystified by the 3 sets I got during the baramagna wave. Herofactory may have been easier to build, but Bionicle was always more interesting and had more of a community. Biotube was a huge part of my childhood. watching others tell their own stories and inspiring me to imagine my own. As time passed Bionicle only became more appealing.
There are a million other things to note. the lackluster and mismanaged CCBS system, the failure to follow up on plot points from previous waves, and the feeling of repetitiveness from brain attack and invasion from below. Nothing fails for only one choice or mistake.

Bionicle fan here and while I get what they were doing with Hero Factory but I never liked the tagline "Heroes are made" as if you can only be a hero by a production line. Also the way they change form/ upgrade or kinda lame as in they have to suit up for the situation which made me think they were not flexible heroes. Ok yes the same can be said with the Toa but I can exuse it cos of plot like the Inika were struck by a special lightning that turned the Matoran into Toas.
It a shame they didn't continue the story. Would of loved a "villian factory" plot like the villians stole the fuzion core or whatever it was to make the Hero and they make their own Villian factory. Ok yes the jail break story did introduce the villians that were similar to the heroes but didn't they still got more than the hero? Just wanted a villian that were like the Paraka or the Rakshi etc!

Me and my brothers used to love playing with the hero factory sets, Aswell as watching the movie

[RTWLR]

I was a top notch master builder during that era, which was basically all throughout elementary and middle school. I basically retired when Hero Factory was discontinued. Though, not gonna lie, I really only enjoyed Hero Factory for the movies, of which Savage Planet and Breakout being my all-time favorites to this very day

[shadowmarauder]

A huge opportunity I’m surprised LEGO never did was using the Bionicle and/or Hero Factory pieces to make a Transformers line. They could’ve done a Movie toyline, g1 toyline and a classics toyline alone.

I was to young to experience bionicle but i was there with hero factory. Me and my friends really liked it and i had a lot of herofactory sets. I think the problem with this series was not a big plot. They left a lot of cool idea open like with Von Nebula return and him getting plans for building villain factory. But they never did it. I remember how hypped i was on that but no a brains attack.

[fanta]

Honestly, i grew up with hero factory and the queen with monsters, it wasnt a flat at all. Im happy to still have these legos with me and remind me of these days.

Hero Factory brought its own death upon itself no way anything was going to replace Bionicle and as we have all learnt focusing on a children's audience is a great way to kill your product

[namo]

Lego Hero Factory lost its spirit after Season 5, Brain Attack, when they completely changed the figures' skeletons into small figures that looked like normal Lego figures.

[jadbouaidi]

I still to this day have about 70% of all the sets, it is my favourite theme alongside Bionicle and Legends of chima

[Fireboy]

CCBS needs to come back, i love posing the figures

[Jonathan-]

I loved Ninjago as a kid, but stopped at season 5, as I felt it lost it's touch after that. The best was season one and two. I never really had Bionicle or at least have no memory about it, but I did have quite a bit of Hero factory from 2010 - 12, but properly only because I loved Transformers.
