Makuta Matata Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I saw a few posts on Tumblr about this. One was about this guy who works at a factory that makes like labels for stands or something and LEGO hired them to make some that say "Bionicle." Another was a picture of a stand, like a promotional store display, with Bionicle sets on it. It wasn't very clear, but one of the sets looked a lot like an upgraded Tahu. I can't post the images here, but needless to say I'm excited if this true.Was it the one with the spiders and Tahu look-a-like was reaching for a mask? Yep. Kopaka was there too, on the bottom shelf. 1 Three on Three - Memoirs of the Dead - Winner!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's supposed to, yes. Discussion of new sets and other information can wait until they are officially announced by LEGO or through its partners.

UngluedBike Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Unless Bionicle's return is well-though-out, I'd rather not have it return.I hear this opinion a lot. My opinion is slightly different. Considering how much more difficult a successful BIONICLE revival would be than creating a new theme from the ground up, I am confident that BIONICLE wouldn't be brought back unless the LEGO Group were prepared to devote the appropriate thought and care into doing so. How is your opinion different exactly? You're both saying you wouldn't want it back unless it had a good story. Something I agree with entirely. Whereas Unglued Bike left the possibility open that Lego could bring Bionicle back badly, and he would like to preclude that from happening. I'm sorry I don't recall myself saying that. Could you possibly quote? I never keep track of things these days.

Makuta Matata Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Another thing I heard is that if it were to come back, it would probably have a different build style than old Bionicle and Hero Factory. Probably because that's just the trend and they wouldn't go back to the old style. 1 Three on Three - Memoirs of the Dead - Winner!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aanchir Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Honestly, I don't think I want Bionicle to be back. I love Bionicle and stuff, but the way the plot has been dealed with in the last years gave me the impression that LEGO simply didn't care about it anymore. Also, all the Media, like the games, videos, comics, etc that surronded the theme in its beginning was also pretty mediocre in the last years. And what about the sets ? The last year of piece innovation was in 2006. After that, all Bionicle sets were basically Inika clones.Personally I disagree, and feel like the FIRST year of real innovation for canister sets was 2007. That year we got the Barraki and Toa Mahri, both of which introduced some amazingly useful parts (the new shells from Takadox, Kalmah, Carapar, and Matoro all could attach to beams in far more ways than earlier shell pieces, which could generally only attach to the front and back of a beam). But more importantly, the sets reused existing parts in creative ways instead of relying on specialized new parts to create a shallow sense of variety. Not one of the sets was a true "clone set" except for the Matoran and Hydruka, which were themselves creative builds. Before that, nearly EVERY small or medium set had been a near-exact copy of at least three other sets in the same series. It's no impressive feat to design a set like the Vahki that relies on new, super-specialized pieces to create an artificial sense of uniqueness. But creating a model like Mantax, Toa Mahri Matoro, Gorast, or Strakk that uses old and new parts alike in new and creative ways? That is the very essence of LEGO, and it is an achievement worthy of great praise. At any rate, evidence for BIONICLE's return is finally mounting. I won't go into specifics, but I am optimistic for BIONICLE's future. 2 Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If somebody is good enough at photoshop to fool us, then there's no honor lost in being fooled (after all, these images already look more "real" than any BIONICLE concepts I've seen in about five years, so if they're fakes they're very clever fakes). On the other hand, if these do turn out to be legit, all the people who nitpicked tiny details that made these images seem "fake" are probably going to feel pretty silly, especially since there'd be nobody to blame for tricking you but yourself.

Ninjago has a pretty good story, after all, as does The LEGO Movie.

Trijhak Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I doubt it's coming back. It hasn't even been five years since it ended. Why would LEGO revive a theme that was already failing in its later years? Nine years or so was enough. LEGO can come up with new ideas, they don't need to resort to old ones. I'd much rather see a new theme than a revived old one. If there are leaked images, I'm going to believe they're bootlegs with modern parts stuck to them and photoshopped onto a box.

I get the feeling that you haven't seen either of them. Almost everyone is agreeing that they're likely from TLG, because of their realism. There are no new leaked images of Bionicle because Bionicle ended in 2010, if there are, they are very likely to be fake, using some sort of MoCs or bootlegs with more modern pieces slapped on, photoshopped onto some boxes, and then those boxes probably had a poor-quality photograph taken of them. It ended in 2010. It's time to let go of Bionicle and move on. LEGO's creative enough to come up with a new theme. Why would they 'revive' an old one? There's no need to beat a dead horse that is likely now decaying. Find a new horse, that is, LEGO's probably creating a new constraction theme.
