well said my friend ‘98 here what breaks me the most is watching High school documentary of a normal day back in the late 90s early 2000s i miss those days more than anything.
“You may look like a hero, you may feel like a hero. You may be one Inika, you may be many. You may have new masks, new armor, new equipment… but it’s not what you got, it’s what you do with it, that makes you a hero.”
As cliche as it may sound, this song helped me through a hard time. I wasn't sure if I could keep going, but this song gave me a little strength and courage. If nothing else, it reminded me that even if my hope was gone, when everything was wrong, I could still move along.
“You may look like a hero, you may feel like a hero. You may be one Inika, you may be many. You may have new masks, new armor, new equipment. You may activate your powerful light up sword and load your multi shot Zamor launcher. But it’s not what you got, it’s what you do with it… that makes you a hero.”
it was truly something else to be children at the very peak of American capitalism. our entertainment was so amazingly perfect we almost couldn’t hear our parents fighting upstairs.
I’m a more recent Bionicle fan. I’m too you to have experience any of this with you guys. But I feel an indescribable feeling of I guess “Secondhand nostalgia” for all of those years. Unity, duty, and destiny.
The Toa Inika commercial will never be beaten by another toy company. Watching them storm the gate to move along, Matoro dodging and deflecting the bullets, Nupar cocking a shotgun ready to shoot anything that moves, and Jaller cutting the gates as they all jump forward in unison and the title card appears. Its just perfect
They won't get money for starting all the production again from scratch. Their concern was always of how to have as little equipment to produce as many separate sets as they can. Making a small line of sets will cost them more then they'll gain.
@@meyearsago-lc8bq this exactly, the molds would cost a fortune, and it sucks because the sets have only gotten rarer and more expensive as time has passed. even if they ALL sold out they wouldn't make a profit.
How about this, not only re- release the sets with the old molds but also add even more pieces to make the figures with better articulation just like the mocs, they could add this to the lore as a toa's or matoran's super form.
@@CesarLopez1459 I don't think you understand; the old molds are gone. Lego periodically destroys their old molds; all the old BIONICLE molds (and I think even the Hero Factory constraction molds) are entirely gone. They would have to redesign the molds from scratch, which would cost a LOT. That's why the 2023 BIONICLE Tahu get-with-purchase set was made out of bricks. That being said, the existence of GWP Tahu gives me hope. We may not get BIONICLE in its original form. But if we get any BIONICLE at all I will be thankful.
I was already GROWN when the Bionicle toys ad was created with this music. It was so bad-ass it made me search for the song, and it's been an associated memory ever since. LEGO should do an official relaunch with this video you made. Good work, Toa!
Right, bionicle commercials were insane and felt like mini movies expanding the lore. Makes me wish we had a movie from each line. Cause those movies could be really dark if they wanted to.
I really loved Bionicle despite it's flaws. The characters and lore really is pretty good besides the stuff like there only being female water Matoran and Toa and Fire almost always being the leading Toa. But those things were tropes of the time and the series did grow past them and only used them because they didn't want another retcon. I remember liking characters like Takanuva and Jaller a lot along with Matoro, Nokama and Zactan. Man I remember having the 2006 stuff be my fav cos the villains were very sneaky in it. 2007 was good too and I loved the mystery of 2001 to 2003. TBH the (Story) flaw with the remake was removing the Matoran and the mask powers since it made things too simple. It was smart to start back with the orginal 6 and stuff but they didn't put enough money into the series and the advertising.
Hahli was gonna be the leader of the group after the group from Mask of Light. But they scrapped the idea of making that story for some unknown reasons…
Its 2002 and you just came from the lego store looking at the instructions for building the bionicle trying to finishing before bedtime then waking up to seeing another commercial for the exact one you knew you wanted most and looking forward to getting it and building that one too
The author of this video tried so hard as much ... as even I would not have done so badly. In some places, the sound has not been removed from commercials, and this is a huge minus. And these videos are not changed often enough, which is why it shows almost all the ads. If they changed more often, then it would be much more dynamic and exciting to watch. (Don't think, I'm not a Bionicle hater, on the contrary, I'm a big fan of this universe, and the song from this video is simply amazing!)
I just realized why I have always had an uncharacteristic fondness for rock music
Why is this pinned?
@@AcrabStudio12 because its a universal experience
If ur here, welcome legend.
Hello comrade
Hello
Hello!
Hello to all
Brother
Only a true 2000s kid would remember this
Feel like we may have been one of the last generations that played more with physical toys than on devices and screens :’)
‘97 gang
Born in '97.
Me and my friend would reenact the commercials at lunch time because we couldn't bring bionicles to play with lol.
well said my friend ‘98 here what breaks me the most is watching High school documentary of a normal day back in the late 90s early 2000s i miss those days more than anything.
I’m 21, this commercial came out when I was 4-5. My mother and I STILL call this “The Bionicle Song”. Truly eternal
“You may look like a hero, you may feel like a hero. You may be one Inika, you may be many. You may have new masks, new armor, new equipment… but it’s not what you got, it’s what you do with it, that makes you a hero.”
Such inspirational words to be used for a toy commercial.
You left out “You may activate your powerful light-up sword and load your multi shot Zamor launcher.”
Spoken like a true Toa.
As cliche as it may sound, this song helped me through a hard time. I wasn't sure if I could keep going, but this song gave me a little strength and courage. If nothing else, it reminded me that even if my hope was gone, when everything was wrong, I could still move along.
It's doing the same for me right now. Glad it helped you, and remember... Move along, move along, just to make it through.
I still remember Bionicle fondly from my childhood. The ads always had this ‘Let’s go!’ energy about them.
You have reminded me why Bionicle will never die
It’s a lot like TF2, immortal
savage comment
i dunno if you mean team fortress 2 or titanfall 2 but either way true true true
@@skolpy team fortress
It sure is. Ignites my childhood
@@taylorcorbett8848 i was about to make a pun about the Ignition Trilogy(2006-2008), but I forgot what to say.
“You may look like a hero, you may feel like a hero. You may be one Inika, you may be many. You may have new masks, new armor, new equipment. You may activate your powerful light up sword and load your multi shot Zamor launcher. But it’s not what you got, it’s what you do with it… that makes you a hero.”
I think it's safe to say that no generations before or after us are gonna understand just how awesome our childhoods were
it was truly something else to be children at the very peak of American capitalism. our entertainment was so amazingly perfect we almost couldn’t hear our parents fighting upstairs.
@@Bigyellowburner I don't think this was the peak lmao.
@@Bigyellowburnerwas hoping someone would say this lol

@@Not_Vakama_303 aye welcome to the fandom. Nice to see Bonkles still interests people
Bionicle forever
Yes
Unity duty destiny!
@@JohnnyGearBot YES
My I see people coming back here, nice to meet the old gang
The scene that was commercial is the part that I enjoyed the most about this, music video.
I love the song
The power that these hold over me is seriously unreal omg.
The inika were legends. Always have been, always will.
Damn right
Totally. 2006 and the rest of the ignition saga is probably the best part of Bionicle.
Piraka are legends too 🥺
@@archerboy7922 good point
The seemed iconic than the 2007 sets.
Back to my old days~!

2:37 still a fucking great commercial. 2006 kids represent
Born in ‘06
Welcome back, fellow legends. Be glad that you can remember this as your childhood and not TikTok dances...
Based
Ok boomer😑
I want my childhood back. :')
Nah that Ice Toa got it bro...that man's sequence was 🔥
Come gather around once again and listen to our legend of the Bionicle...
Childhood back!
Childhood restored, nostalgia refilled, happiness acquired.
Diagnostics looking good!
Born in ‘06, I have second hand nostalgia for this stuff, but still, can’t hate this line
I come back to this video every few years
I never grew up with the commercials, but I watch them on youtube and listen to the music from them all the time.
Same there
Retatd
@@ericbutler7773 no u
I wish they started release some of the old sets in a yearly cycle so we could have a chance again to get some and they would make money

The movie
Feels like 2006 all over again
This is so nostalgic. Beautiful
Best Lego we have
I'm so glad that late 2000's Bionicle music videos were my childhood and not Tiktok

Fucking dear lord, the 2000's. Makes me sound so young but holy shit this feels nostalgic. Good old Bionicle and like, the year 2006
I miss being a kid so much :'(
STATEMENT: I think we all do.
we all do i miss them days more than anything ‘98 gang here
Damn, that flash back to grade 8 with all American rejects.
I like the way you added the Toa Inika commercial during the song. 👍
If you liked Bionicle, you 100% have an affinity for anime
Stop reading my thoughts pls
Nope
CORRECT!
Meh not really lmao. Haven't watched an anime in years
dawg my childhood ❤️❤️❤️
The boys are back.
Not me singing this at maximum volume
Bionicle went unreasonably hard
I had a strange connection to this Song since my infant years, and now i know why

Thanks for making this your the best
i came here for the video and the song, now i know what to do, just move along, thank you
I remember seeing this on Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon as a kid and it’s been stuck with me ever since
It’s nuts that I own every bionic leg they made and to this day I still have them! They’re in my garage in a tote with all of them
I remember watching this on repeat as a kid in 2009
Ik me too

My childhood brother
S O U L
“Men only want one thing and its fucking disgusting”
I miss my childhood
Couldnt quite remeber why everytime i heard this song i thought of bionicles
I remember when they used to use this song for bionical marketing all the time it got me hyped as a kid!
The band cryoshell got their start doing songs for the bionicle ads
This one is for bionicle heroes eh music edition
So crazy seeing this again. So many memories
Just saw The All American Rejects perform this in 2023, took me back to right infront of a tv watching this commercial
“This is the history of the bionicle” -Turaga Vakama
Was thinking about this song for days and yeah this is real whoa...
Happy monday
Best song, and best series ever
this is awesome
Yet another reason why the toa Inika were the goat.
I love this song it takes me back to lego
I remember this commercial
This is top tier
😂 this commercial was on TV every day
Its 2002 and you just came from the lego store looking at the instructions for building the bionicle trying to finishing before bedtime then waking up to seeing another commercial for the exact one you knew you wanted most and looking forward to getting it and building that one too
I loved that they were in cans so I could build them in the car
This unlocked a memory
All American Rejects and Bionicle saved my life!!!
Thanks!
My memories they return…
why did the drops give me goosebumps ??
This song was around during my time my Childhood
La vida pide mucho y yo?
Yo solo quiero ver los bionicles en la cima del éxito una vez más...
I was here
We don't move along from Bionicle, but from our problems in life
I heard this song in a walmart while buying a new LEGO set, immediately made me think of bionicle.
Now this is a throwback like a mf.

i basically lost the lore shortly after the whole Metru Nui thing. so i have no idea what's going on for half of this.
I remember this commercial from Cartoon Network with this song in the background.
that shit with the inika commercial at the end there was good
undeniably tough
Bionicle commercials was way ahead of it's time in that era
my favorite video when i waz yunga
Peak Fiction
probably the best comment section I ever seen
damn 20 years now
Bionicle is basically Lego's Anime
Are childhood was the golden age of toys Cartoon Network Nickelodeon and Jetx which is now known as Disney xd god those days where the best
Hell yeah
It's my mental breakdown, I get to choose the music
YESSSSSS
#Toa Heroes and legends!!!
This is lego bionicle
Bionicle… each… set… sold… separately…
❤
Matoro...
They don't make them like they use to.
I am legend
