A guy on flickr is at NYCC for preview night and took a few pictures of upcoming promo displays, and Bionicle was one of them.

This looks awesome! I'm sure that's what the sneak peek video was of!

I can just imagine on some Lego system forum, they're saying "Oh no, we'll have to deal with these fans again. I thought we got rid of them."

Nice job! I was half expecting a revamp of Toa Ralis.

(I think that is his name.)

It's about time I gave my name a character...

My current name is temporary for the return of Bionicle, although I might try to make a Turaga version of him...

What is Makuta's favorite dinosaur?

Thank you all for all the positive feedback! We are taking another short break from Unseen Light, but we'll be back again soon! Until then, please leave us reviews, it's the only way we can get better.

Although I did like brown, I really like what they did with Hewkii in both of his Toa forms. However, I hated the color scheme on Pohatu Phantoka, I really don't like the color orange.

 

All I know is that taking the possible return of some sort of brown into account, I'm probably going for that. I haven't had a set with brown since 2005. (i don't really count the vorox) 

 

Yeah, bright orange and yellow, though not completely unrealistic, just felt a little odd on toa of stone. It probably wouldn't have been such a big deal if they used brown as well, but sadly they didn't. 

 

I do wonder why brown was dropped. Oh Lego, you never cease to amaze me. 

 

Probably because it didn't sell well. It would make sense that people thought that brown was the least desirable of all six colors.

I am all for this topic. With a weird name like "bionicle", the only way we can come up with a cool name for ourselves is to brainstorm it.

If you want a name that other people would instantly recognize, "Bioniclers" might be the best, even if it's not very creative.

Makuta: "You can't fight me! Your arm's come off!"

Tahu: "It's just a flesh-wound."

I think you would have to tear muscle to take them apart, since that's what happened to the Toa Mata in their canisters. I also can imagine that it would hurt, unless someone managed to "switch off pain" like I had said earlier. I think the fan animation "Pohatu's Arrival" depicts bionicle muscles well.

Well, it had to be done to the matoran for them to be upgraded, so yes. Although, I would assume it would hurt if they tried to do it themselves. Maybe the turaga were able to switch off their nerves while they were being rebuilt.

I'm still hoping we get the old logo, or at least a new one like it. With that, I wonder if "Unity, duty, destiny" will still be a thing.

I wonder if they will use the old three virtues logo...

We also learned that the mask probably has an owner, instead of being up for grabs like we thought.

 

 

What if they released one pixel of the main villain every day until 1, January 2015?

 

I think it is highly unlikely, but I'd be okay with it as long as we got some other material.

I doubt 100 pixels is enough.

They did do somthing similar with the piraka when they were coming out.

"We cannot reveal too much information before NYCC – well…maybe just a small thing, but you’ll have to wait for Friday!"

Yes! Add turaga to your names so that we may guide new fans through the wonderful world of Bionicle gen 1!

Whatever the head is, I hope that it will be easily compatible with other pieces. If we ever want to use these masks as armor/weapons/etc. we will have to use the head piece with it.

So, are you on the story team? I really hope so.

If so, are you allowed to tell us more about the story than what we already know? I can understand if not.

I'm really looking forward to these coming years! Do what you do best!

 

 

I was allowed to read over the story bible and provide some input on it, but that has been the extent of my role so far. I did not have a hand in creating the story beyond that.

Just got a response back from Greg about all of this. Link

I wonder if the head will be one big piece or made of several pieces. Also, it seems like almost all of the legendary masks have a different way to connect, and this is continuing that trend!

Did some digging on LEGO's Facebook page, and found that "they are being released in January 2015!"

You all probably assumed this, but it's nice to have confirmation as to when we will see them on shelves.
