Good thing I didn’t auction off a week in story-time. Connor could have been trapped at the Brick House for years of real-time.
This might make for a good spin-off comic, though…”A Boy and his Bionicle”. They could travel the country solving crimes and beating the crap out of those new “Hero Factory” sets.
so that means Connor’s guest appearance ends now?
I wonder if this means Connor might make cameo appearances in future episodes? It was fun having him around, always good to see a new character.
Maybe next time you should auction off a week in story-time! 😉
And it comes again
“But that day, Connor was amazed to discover that whenever Tahu was saying ‘You’re a Taxi’; what he meant…..”
To be honest Hero Factory is pretty good, but I guess that’s an opinion. I hope Connor isn’t gone forever, I want him to stay. Also, I guess Tahu decided to carry on that old Brick House joke.
No. No, they are terrible. I expected more of Lego!
lol that taxi gag will never get old… i can’t wait to use that on someone!!
though i dont know when that will happen… i might have to strike up a random convo about taxi’s lol
I can’t say I’m totally sold on Hero Factory, it’s a lot like Bionicle was. Oh, sure, the figurines have hands, and the colors seem a bit more coordinated, but even after all that, the lineup still retains most of it’s Bionicle origins.
If anything, there seems to be less places to attach bricks or plates to for construction purposes. If someone would dare to show me an alternate MOC using a Hero Factory figure from one of the currently available sets that doesn’t still look a lot like it’s Hero Factory figurine, and is reasonably cleverly put together I might take a second look at it.
I love the last panel, with the Bionicle sitting there with Connor. That spin off idea ain’t too bad.
Interesting, he could have said “Do you have any trucks?” and he gets the mini xxs lego truck from the deliverie lego truck and says “This isn’t what I meant!”
P.S.
?
…….and the joke cyle comes round again. I must say, though that joke is “mostly dead”!
i laughed
Very good spin-off idea. I know it was a joke but that would be awesome. I cant belive I just said “awesome”…. Anyway, good idea, might just bend it into something I can use without breaking the 4th wall (or just seperate it from ais) or being acused of plagurism. And tahu could proabably be used as a vehicle if you managed to balence on his shoulder. Im guesing Tahu was used because he was small enough to fit in the panel without zooming out loads and a matoran (the small guys) would have looked weird (as they do)
Yeah, that Taxi joke is getting old. But I did like the BIONICLE appearance! Hmm… MAYBE Doyle should make a spin off with Tahu and Connor hunting down HERO FACTORY characters! Kinda like in the beginning of TRANSFORMERS: Revenge of the Fallen.
Random bit o’ info! Revenge of the Fallen can be abbreviated to ROTF! ROTFLOL! ;D
This is Connor’s Mom. Thanks for not killing off my son! You guys have been great. Enjoyed the comic and the comments.
Thank you Mr. Doyle for putting me in your strip. I like McStudz comment on the spin-off series. BIONICLE is way better than HERO FACTORY (in my opinion).
YES! Thank you! I agree!
Hero Factory is a rip-off. Not worth what you pay for it.
@McStudz: Isn’t That What Doyle said?:
“This might make for a good spin-off comic, though…”A Boy and his Bionicle”. They could travel the country solving crimes and beating the crap out of those new “Hero Factory” sets.”
Just Sayin’
…Hero Factory/Bionicle Teamup…
Yes!! Bionicle is much better! Hero Factory is just a rip-off… I guess, but they’re from the same company… Connor, have you read the rest of Reasonably Clever?
That´s what I call a big lipped alligator moment.
You think your anoyed with hero factory? Try the bionicle-centric comunity. Never have I seen so many polite people have to try so hard to stop themselves using mostly rude language. Its kinda setling but I can confirm there isnt a single bz power (bionicle zone power, its naming is a long story but its basicly a site with news, forums, varied recources and info and set reviews (a few system sets and strangely, the pink bucket which got a very good review) for bionicle) member who wishes bionicle hadnt eneded and most of them want it back.
To Toaadam: I have been reading it and right now I’m on #778. To replica: I love bionicle too and I must say whenever I think about Hero Factory I always have to remember If you don’t have anything nice to say about something don’t say anything at all.
Well said. Think il stick to insulting it though.
@ Crotocall: Yes, Chris did say something about the spin-off, I’m just agreeing with him.
I mean, technically, Connor didn’t get the full week. Maybe there could be a little bit of a Terminator cameo… “I am searching for Connor.”
Then again, that already happend in the S-Team Crossover.
