The microsite got updated with all the new products too!
I hadn't really looked at it before, so I wasn't sure what was new.
The 2 vehicles look interesting, particularly the drop ship.

None ever accused TRU of knowing what they are actually selling. :D

I don't quite understand why everyone cares they are basically bionicle.

When they rename other themes, (i.e. the castle/knights kingdom/kingdom) people are ok with it, why cant they rename Bionicle to make a new story but have same basic designs?

Because Bionicle was sacred as far as LEGO lines went. I personally wasn't a fan after the first line (I got every single one of the original sets), but people were crazy for Bionicle to the point of fanaticism. It was a real 'action figure' line of LEGO that was still LEGO. It created its own line of different builds like Castle and Space originally did and it had a real story line to it in the background that was fleshed out substantially.

The change from Bionicle to Hero Factory is controversial to the fans of Bionicle because:
1. The name is stupid.
2. People still want more Bionicle story and back story.
3. LEGO is clearly trying to cash in on what Bionicle was for their new line while further reducing pieces by making them even larger, thus simplifying them further.

Hope this clears it up. Feel free to add your reasons.

Ah, makes sense.
I bought all the first line as well, but was about it.
I did however buy the green hero, and I like her.
Might get me back into this "action figure" line.
So in my book it is a good thing, bu ii understand why others disagree.

TRU.COM now has the rest of the Hero sets, including bad guys and Bulk/Vapour combo set.
With the current free shipping for orders $49 might be a good way to pick up a couple sets.

Also forgot to mention, One of my local Walmarts had some of the Hero Factory bad guys in stock.

7147 Xplode
7148 Meltdown (I purchased, like the radioactive sludge tanks :lol: )
7156 Corroder
7157 Thunder

They were all $12.97

They updated the hero factory micro site.
Now can build your own hero, and take them out in missions.
