I seriously think something Bionicle related is happening behind the scenes at LEGO, Faber's continued instagram posts are just too frequent and too mysterious to be just random.

Faber just posted another pic on his Instagram the new image depicts a canister floating in a sea in front of an island with an active volcano.

Anything posted on April 1st is probably not legit. The only way it would be is if it was a devious attempt to mask a real leak as a joke to build hype when it turns out to be real, but that doesn't sound like an effective strategy.He's just posted another part of the same image. Given that April 1st was now days ago, this has to be real, whatever it is.Yeah, the discussion in the "310" thread led me to think that something deeper might be going on. Faber says he did it on that day so he could claim it was a joke if he got a negative response; but he didn't, so now he's going to make some sort of move. What that entails is unclear, but we'll probably see within the next couple of weeks or so.Well, he did put a picture that says “ON”. Quite suspicious, don’t you this? Not to mention his comments accompanying the pics: with the "3IO" pic he said "What if there is an undiscovered way back?. A secret path to reset destiny. How many of you would join? #14B2020 The wave of inspiration from one single post is totally amazing. You are the best! This is all the fuel anybody could wish for!!!" with the "ON" he put "Amazing!!! There is only one thing to do after that responce. This project is “ON” from my side and now comes the hard part and the leap of faith and airtime untill it takes the right shape. #14b2020" Those comments are also suspect with their wording, the hashtag is curious...

A good solution to both of your points would be a Netflix animated series, with quality storytelling not the subpar G2 stuff, or a Movie series maybe MCU style with different solo films featuring the adventures of the Toa when they aren't together, especially if they can tie it into The LEGO Movie Universe, which as of now consists of The LEGO Movie, The LEGO Batman Movie, and The LEGO Movie 2. It bears mentioning that the first LEGO movie featured cameos of some of the G1 Toa Mata, so it could be done, it also bears mentioning that the LEGO Movie and The LEGO Batman Movie both proved highly popular (and profitable) and The LEGO Movie 2 is excepted to meet or exceed the box office records of the first film.

Wish I knew, but alas that's the demographic of today's kids they have iPhones and anything that doesn't interact with it isn't of interest. That's partly why Toys R' Us went out of business, that an increasingly poorer quality toys. I remember the Transformers toys from the late '90s and the early 2000s, before the Michael Bay films came out, Hasbro is only now starting with the Prime Trilogy lines, Combiners, Titans, and Power of the Primes line up getting back to the level of detail and yet simplistic transforming sequence that those earlier toys had, though there are some quality issues to be fixed still. It’s kind of sad that every toy nowadays has to connect to a mobile phone in some way in order to sell. Why can’t a toy just be a toy?

If Bionicle is brought back Lego needs to do at least three things: 1) Have the story be thought out in advance, at least have an outline something to guide the creative process and not just make it all up as they go. 2) Have a mobile game, seems like every IP nowadays has some type of mobile game tie-in, perhaps the mobile game can be the primary narrative source. 3) In keeping with this line of thought, the toys should come with codes that unlock unique advantages for the players, and maybe even have some type of AR component, like scanning a figure with your phone to unlock the character in the game.

So has Lego confirmed that the story is starting from scratch?
