If you ask me Bionicle kinda ruined Lego to begin with. Instead of making sandboxy creative sets they were making basically figurine kits that weren't very compatible with the rest of the bricks and couldn't be easily recycled without looking awkward.

I thought the exact same thing when Bionicle was released in 2001, that action figures were for "story-tellers" and Lego was for "builders" and that somehow Lego had betrayed us, even though their regular kits were still available.

Apparently however the kits sold very well and brought the Lego Group out of a financial crisis which began in the late 1990s. I suppose having a more diverse choice of toys in their product line made them able to appeal to more children.
