The End of Bionicle... WIll Hero Factory be a saving grace?

For eight years... yours truly was a massive bionicle fan. Iremember the first set I got like it was yesterday.
I was already a fan of legos but I craved something different at the time. With cash saved up from working at my grandpa's farm, I hauled a** to the local K-mart to buy some new lego sets.
As I browsed the aisle my virgin eleven year old eyes caught something odd. Canisters... tubes! With the legendary Toa on them! I quickly picked the blue and green sets and rushed home to revel in my new found discovery. I began collecting more and more and more! As I got alot of sets, I started making my own stories! I made my own massive weapons, my own vehicles! All to a story! Bionicle was my saving grace in terms of finding something to let my creativity flow out. And now, even though i'm 19, I still collect them. I still play around with them and experiment with different ideas! However while browsing the news at BSpower I spot somethingthat made my heart sink.
The latest sets, STARS, were the last of the Bionicle! NO! I felt my whole childhood crash in an instant. However as I kept reading the article it mentioned that Lego will release Ben 10 sets which has pieces compatible with Bionicle... tha would be ******** brilliant... if I ********' liked Ben 10.
However looking through Brickshelf galleries I found a foldercalled 'HERO FACTORY.
Despite the sets not being of Bionicle style... I noticed that all the pieces were bionicle compatible... and alot better than Ben ********' 10! Perhaps salvation is at hand?
