All BIONICLE Sets Revealed with Pricing and More Details


Recommended Posts

tn_10_10_14-all-sets-revealed-pricing.pn

Reporting from New York Comic Con, Comicbook.com presents information of the new/old line presented to press by LEGO accompanied by finalized renders of all the Toa, Protectors and the Lord of the Skull Spiders sets, along with pricing, set numbers and even piece counts. The Protectors will cost USD 9.99; Lord of the Skull Spiders, Gali, Lewa and Pohatu USD 15.99 and Tahu, Kopaka and Onua USD 19.99 each. There are set descriptions as well but they are a bit messed up so we will have to wait a bit for better ones. I know you've all been waiting for this moment - so get crazy discussing those sets!

Very nice! LoSS looks a sturdy figure, and the Protectors of Jungle and Water look awesome as well. It's a shame we aren't seeing Brown or Green fists (there's a lot of silver hands which is pretty glum for MoCing with) but apart from that, I'm pleasantly surprised and excited for the 2015 wave. :)

Personally, I'm disappointed at the prices. The reboot had me so excited until now. To save you all the math, if you wish to get every set from the new line it will cost you $200. Actually, I might be getting just the protectors, those guys are pretty sweet! I really like the looks of the new stud launchers, but $20 for Onua? Nope.

I'll be getting all of them if possible, but this makes me really worried that these may end up selling pretty poorly because of all the kids who ask their parents for one of the Toa only to be told, "No. That's too expensive. Why don't we get that nice lil' Lego car over there? That's only 8 dollars, and it's better for you than those dumb fighting robots." If lego can't rely on us to break even... what then? Will Bionicle be dead on arrival?

I thought the Ninjago spinners were way overpriced and look how they did. :P

The prices kinda bum me out. I wasn't expecting to buy too many sets but I guess I'll just get Tahu mayne Kopaka.

 

The sets look easier to build so simpler and less pieces but why more money?

 

I don't think Lego is struggling for money. It's not like everyone is making more money these days so it evens out minimum wage is still drastically below what it should be like in other countries.

 

Seems to me lego is just getting greedier. Still I guess it's all worth it since bionicle is coming back, right?

Inflation is to blame... well, partly. Have you seen the actual piece count on some of these guys? For the larger ones, like Tahu and Onua, it's around 80 or 90. That's MUCH more than any of the Toa of old.

I'm definitely not going to be getting them all in one fell swoop as I had initially planned... The prices are pretty high to me, but it has been a while since I paid much attention to such things. It seems par for course with the continual increases, but that's still a tough pill to swallow.

Huh guess not. Doesn't look like there are but I've never actually built a Hero Factory set so I wouldn't know how they work, and to me these look to be mainly HF build.

I just miss the days where a Toa was like 7.99 or 10.99 at the most lol.

I'm not happy about the prices either. Especially since the Toa and Lord of Skull Spiders look as good as they do. I will definitely be getting Tahu, and I'll try to get the other Toa too. It's a good thing I have some gift cards saved up to help with this, but I'm not sure if I want to use all of them on the sets yet.

Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

I really couldn't be more pleased with these sets. Here's why they are great:

 

- The Toa's masks are recognizable.

- We get those masks in the original colors AND gold, which is more versatile for MOCing.

- The Toa have gear functions! That's going above and beyond what I ever expected to see in a relaunch.

- For the first time since 2003, we're finally able to collect a mask in all six colors. (see: Protector sets)

- Lewa 2015 marks the first re-appearance of Mata Green in a constraction set since 2003. (I've waited so long...)

- We have here some less common colors like Dark Purple and plenty of old and new (!!!) transparent ones.

- The Toa have all-around beefy, heroic designs. I don't see any skimpy-armor stuff like we saw on some HF sets.

- The sets include enemies, so your Toa has something to fight.

- The Toa have dual-function weapon tools, something we haven't seen in quite a while.

- There are even a few throwback molds, like Kopaka's Guurahk staff and Pohatu's use of Bohrok eyes.

- The sets are vibrantly-colored and give off that classic elemental feel.

- Those launchers on the Protector sets are just unbelievably cool. They're like mini-Cordaks with elemental ammo.

- No more of those bland white/gray or black/gray color combos. For once, Kopaka and Onua are looking pretty flashy.

 

Overall, these sets give me the impression that LEGO really listened to fan feedback and gave us the best dang sets they could.

 

I'm impressed.

The Toa all have gear functions on their back. Actually, I dare say they are all more complex than any BIONICLE canister set in the past. Not overly complex, of course, but also definitely more than the usual Hero Factory set was.

I'm kind of disappointed on the lack of solid colors on the protectors, like green and blue. But lots of trans colors, including purple??? Okay, that's interesting.

 

Prices are kind of high but that's what I expected. Will certainly be getting a few.

 

Edit:

Well considering some of the Toa are now priced in the same category that the Titans used to be at, I would hope that there would be some increase in complexity. And even then I don't think they could claim "most complex" set. :sly:

Ouch, right in the wallet. It's pretty much what I expected, but to just get the few I really wanted, it will cost $72, and it's all coming out of my wallet (no Christmas or Birthday for me this year)

I might divide up my buying to spare the pain to my wallet. Start with Lewa, Gali, and Kopaka because the Wairuha trio holds more nostalgia for me, plus maybe a protector or two, and then wait a month before buying the other three.

 

No plans to buy LOSS. Between the wonky face printed on a chest plate and the weird body shape brought on by its function, I'm at no loss if I leave it out of my plans.

I noticed something interesting in the article.

 

 

“We are thrilled to announce the relaunch of the LEGO Bionicle franchise, which was one of our most popular LEGO franchises and our first ‘constraction’ or constructible action figure line,”

 

 

so is LEGO just trying to forget Throwbots ever existed at this point? :P

Woah, that is weird!

 

And what is also weird is the fact that I am going to try to get every single set released next year.

Definitely not when comparing them to the titan sets BIONICLE had, that's true. I just can't really bring myself to consider the Toa titan sets somehow. :P As I said, they are not really too complex but compare this to all the previous Toa - they are not way much more complex but the gearboxes aren't just overspecialised parts with one single purpose this time.

^Pun. 

 

Yeah, that thing barely looks like a passable thing next to the gloriousness of the Toa. I'm not regretting passing on it.

Remember when a Toa sized set cost like $13.99 back in 2009?

 

I remember when they cost $6.99 back in 2001. Things certainly have changed. :P Fortunately at least part of that is due to an increasing piece count.

 

EDIT: Actually, given that some of the protectors contain just under twice as many pieces as the original 2001 Toa, $9.99 seems pretty reasonable.
