Once I have one in front of me, I feel like at last I can begin to find out about a story and piece the information together. I see BioSector has one, and as I dislike almost everything about LEGO.com, I'll go with the fan site. :) Thanks! All I need to understand a story is a time line.

This story was a big controversy for us, but it did help explain at least how they came to be so knowledgeable.

It's a bit more simple than BS01's design and probably won't overwhelm you with information like it can. After all, BS01 is the definitive wiki for anything Bionicle, and that means ANYTHING, so you're getting every small fact we could find with the stuff you read there.

It has almost everything about the story, from past to present. James, a good place to catch up with BIONICLE is biosector01.com, the BIONICLE Wiki.

I'm up for the challenge, but where do I (and others) start? Is there a place I can get up to speed on the Bionicle story without having to rent videos, play games, read books, and buy comics? A timeline perhaps? InnerRayg, you mention jumping into the Bionicle story. I’m up for the challenge, but where do I (and others) start?

I loved BrickFest 06, but man was it hard trying to be the Bionicle guys. Fun, but hard. One important thing I think Andrew might have glossed over but would have been pertinent to non-Bionicle fans who may be interested to just find out what's going on, or maybe get in on the toy line but are scared by the bucket load of story that will be piled on them if they do...The current story has been additative, with the past constantly effecting the present, but after 2008 Lego plans a renovation of the line, that will not discount the past few years, but will in affect put us in a completely new path and open us to a new story to tell that AFOLs and kids alike are invited to jump onboard with.

Are there any Jack Stone builders? Now that would be an interesting show! ;) But back on topic, any theme weather it be Star Wars, Castle, Town, etc can be built by all ages. That is what makes LEGO stick out beyond other hobbies (for me at least). A four year old can't play with model trains but both adults and kids can play with any theme, no matter who the stories are aimed at.
