Man, seeing it all in one place it's... humbling. You've truly fulfilled your duty, brought them all together in unity, and you've finally fulfilled the destiny of it all. Thank you, Eljay. From a nostalgic Bionicle fan, thank you.

Now THIS is an epic style of review. The backgrounds are smart, and the layout in general is a great idea. Love it!

[Tahu]

You know what? I honestly shed a tear at the sight of all the sets together, once realizing this may acctualy be all that there will ever be of Bionicle. Thank you LJ, thank you for this wonderful journey filled with nostalgia.

This is legitimately beautiful. No lies. Whenever I used to get all six or a whole year of sets, I always placed them together for one big setup. Even as a kid, I made the 08 Toa Nuva and Makuta face each other in a big battle... in my small apartment doorway. The Axalara T9 even to this day, still holds in my heart the greatest birthday present I've ever gotten. Fantastic memories with this toyline were to be had that I couldn't find elsewhere. Bionicle was truly something special, not only for us fans, but for even Lego themselves. A highly risky golden-goose of a new franchise that has saved them tremendously. I have never seen such a deep dedication to the lore of a toyline, other than Transformers. I grew out of the toys, but still find myself revisiting Biosector01 and looking to the colorful and out-there tales of the very characters I used to own in plastic toy form. I could never leave this franchise, even if I wanted to...

I have nothing more else to say other than of course, some massive "Great Spirit Mata Nui"-sized props to Eljay and the TTV crew for making this phenomenon happen, and a great thanks to all here who have been here from the very time before time...

*_Unity. Duty. Destiny._*

Seems like it’s time for Eljay to fufill his destiny.

[TLhikan]

You've come a long way from the cardboard Miru, Mr. Johnsen. You've made something you can be genuinely proud of, and I look forward to whatever you decide to do next.

[SwtNightmare]

Don’t watch the channel as much anymore, but I’ll always come back for a good old Eljay bionicle

[alexanderconstantini]

This is legendary. I love the Bionicle fan community. I'm sincerely moved. The entire Matoran universe, in the flesh.

There is such a profound sadness to seeing what is likely the last we’ll see of BIONICLE all in one place.

[TheBohrokMan]

Seeing every Bionicle in one place is truly epic, and a perfect conclusion to the herculean effort behind completing all of the recap reviews. Thanks, Eljay, for making such a valuable and iconic contribution for all of us fans!

Y'know, as much flack as 2015-2016 gets (not all for bad reasons, but nevertheless) I can really appreciate it as being "one last hurrah". Stars let the story go out with a bang, and gen 2 let the sets go out with a bang; they compliment one another.

[ToastGhost]

It's been on hell of a journey honestly with TTV being one of my longest held YT subscriptions, tuning into the Recap Reviews every Tuesday and listening to the podcast every week on Vessel for the latest Gen 2 rumours it was a fun time. It's quite the amazing feat you've accomplished here Eljay congrats.

[TheShadowedOne]

Holy Gadunka! (literally since he is there), this is awesome! Makes me want to rebuild my entire collection but even I admit I never got every single one! You have truly captured the epitome of the word: LEGENDARY, Eljay. Well done.

[thorakvideos]

I haven"t cared for Bionicle since 2004-2005 but watching the sheer amount of passion this guy puts into his beloved theme; makes these videos awesome!
Is there anything else Eljay is passionate about? Because I would watch it, even if it isn't Lego :)

[bioniclelives]

Erik, thank you too. This was awesome. All 9 years of it. I know we haven't met face to face(maybe at Brickfair someday), or even talked more than a couple times, but as a viewer for this many years I cannot perceive you as anything but a friend, and I'm proud of you for having finished what you set out to do. It's a momentous task and your passion brought it to completion. It's been a great journey and we've enjoyed going on it with you. I look forward to whatever you do next, and you'll have my support all the way. Unity, Duty, Destiny, buddy.

Absolutely stunning collection. Got emotional seeing it all together.

[TheKaffeekatze]

I can't believe it's been nine years since this started. I'm so glad I came across this channel so long ago. You guys have grown and evolved so much, it's truly amazing to see it all come to such a fantastic point. Thank you guys so much for being a big part of my childhood ♡

[Loremastrful]

And Alexander wept for he had no sets left to conquer. It has been an incredible odyssey. Who could have imagined 6 heroes having such a profound destiny.
Journey onward.

[cloudcleaver]

I love to see the whole series compiled and documented. The only things that seem missing to me are the randomized elements; all the Kanohi (including prototypes and misprints), all the Krana and Kraata including their rare promotional variants, maybe a certain elusive Sand Tarakava...

[MidoriNatsume]

WoW, the series finale of Bionicle Reviews right on the same day I found two sealed Visorak.
