According to Tandbricks Brickclicker is about to reveal some of the biggest 2025 leaks that will make LAN explode.

What could it be? Its not just a modular, but more stuff, new theme(s).

Brickclicker also used the vault for the teaser...the vault usually means a classic theme comeback...could it be true? The legend returns? Bionicle...G3???

First time on this board, this seems the right thread to ask

my nephew (7) has taken a lot of interest in my old bionicle toys, especially the ones that turn into balls. Is there a modern, cheap equivalent of bionicles, lego or not, that I can buy for him?

pretty much any set that was sold in a plastic canister still goes for very cheap secondhand. the ones you posted are the bohrok and you can get each one for under 15 USD. you'll have to pay more for one that comes with the can but you may want to consider it since it's a unique part of the Bionicle experience. just make sure it comes with the rubber band and krana (little rubber mask) at least.

This is absolute fag shit by the way. "Teasing" a leak which is already a teaser in itself is retarded. These types of leakers are fueled completely by clout and they get off on having access to information nobody else does. If that weren't the case then they'd just drop the leaks without the stupid games. Compare that to leaks posted on here where it's usually just one image and the poster fucks off. I can't even imagine what compels someone to decide to be what basically amounts to an unpaid shill.

And people saying it's Bionicle is pure copium anyway.

why for the most part, have the prices of bionicle sets not gone through the roof like most other lego sets. With a few exceptions, most standard bionicle canister sets are being resold at almost what they would currently be sold at retail. Is it just the sheer number of copies sold or is there just not that much of a market for them? Or is it that everyone who wants them most likely still has their original collection?

Mostly this. They were relatively cheap and easy to find, and they made great gifts since parents didn't have to worry about who the characters are, just get your kid their favorite color. Hence why the majority of the large non canister sets usually go for several times the original price.

I wouldn't get my hopes up. Lego's retired CCBS, nearly fully phased out ball-joints, and has relegated technic to cars again.

IF we get a Bionicle G3, I fully expect it to be system, and with those accursed fixed-knee pieces that their modern mech sets use.

Seems like you're a bit out of the loop, they've been trying to bring back constraction (characters, creatures and mechs) the last few years. Though it's integrated into system themes, they still release a few specialized pieces meant to be used in buildable characters every year (we got a few new shoulder pads, some armor pieces, blades, those new finger pieces and those human faces picrel also has).

Yea but the thing is Lego marks complexity and posability of sets hand in hand with the price tag today (unless it's 4+ rip-off garbage)

and the cheapest of those buildable figs are still around 30$.
One thing also is that system is just fundamentally so much denser system that the builds are way more heavy than your average toa, leading to shitty balance to pose which is why they need to introduce new type of joints for any of it to work/or be expensive/have locked knees.

In all likelihood whatever comes next, if ever it'll be cheap (around 15$ or over) and have no knees.

You and I both know G2 was doomed no matter what. It had no audience. LEGO marketed it toward ipad babies (watered down story) and were simultaneously banking on old autists buying. Majority of old fans will never accept a reboot (regardless of how good it is) cause it's not GeeWun, and the kids don't give a shit about Bionicle as a brand. Doomed from the start.

Not too bad, I like the details but the shaping could be improved a lot to make it less blocky. For example they could've made the waist thinner and the hips and the shoulders wider. And there could have been more variation in the shaping of the limbs too, like for example it would look better if the upper arms were thinner and the forearms bulkier. Also I guess it goes without saying that if they go with this direction (if Bionicle ever comes back) they should release a few specialized pieces with them like masks, armor pieces etc.

I think this would be the best choice, technic with system, Bionicle should be all about functions and play. it's what made early G1 so good.

I feel like the big buidable licensed figs were a bad idea. I see them still rotting on local store shelves because one, they look ugly, and two, they're super expensive for what you get. Why buy a Lego Wolverine fig that looks awkward when you could get a Marvel Legends fig for the same price? If Lego brings back Bionicle I feel like they would(should) utelize the newer Ninjago mech pieces and aim for something close to pic related. The GWP was cool, but still a bit too fiddly for children to play with. A build like the OG Toa with locked knees and elbows with the new limb pieces, proper head molds, and a little enemy in the set to fight, they could sell the Toa for $15 tops if not cheaper.

I think it'd be fine. The first three years had locked limbs and everyone loved it. Not just the Toa, but the Turaga and Matoran were super simple in articulation, and nobody bitched about it. If it means a lower piece count and price, give me prebent limbs. Also, personally, I like the Ninjago pieces because the first thing I thought of was the Mata leg piece. Just my personal preference.

This looks very unappealing. I’m a casual bionicle fan with a few sets (toa mata, metru, inika) and I would prefer the more “organic” look of those sets. I know that’s not going to happen as those pieces have long since been retired, but giving them a more blocky angled look makes them look like mechs used in standard lego sets like in picrel.

The limited articulation from 01-03 was charming because we didn't have more articulation in anything prior to that, but if they updated the mech limbs to have some sort of ratchet joints in them I'd be a 100 percent for this, until then I'd say they should just stick with Mixel joints

Yea seeing builds like that make me feel like they missed the point entirely. What made those original Toa work was cause they were buildable action figures in the simplest way possible. You connect the limbs to sockets, then to the body and you got to change their masks. What they offered compared to other action figures was that a kid could easily customize them. They had so few parts and an action feature that was fun. Anything built with system trying to look like a bionicle would only be bionicle in name and just be a generic system robot.

2001, 2002, early 2003 are absolutely perfect
Late 2003 is not as good, partly because they moved away from comics+animations as the main storytelling medium because of the movie, but it still works fine as a conclusion for the original trilogy.

As a kid I liked Bionicle the most because of the mechanical sculpting. Pistons, metal grating and faux gears were so cool. Bionicle was basically its own toyline separate from Lego entirely. If it was rebooted with Bricks I'd never buy it. It doesn't matter if you slap the names of the old characters on them because what matters is the toys themselves, maybe 1 in 15 kids knew the lore of Bionicle back in the day.

Yeah. Presentation, atmosphere and an implied background story had a bigger role in making the toys popular than the actual story itself. And of course the toys themselves had to be good.
The main factors that made G2 flop were the price tags (obviously) and the lack of new parts that would have made them stand out more, they barely looked any different than Hero Factory CCBS sets which were on the shelves for around 4 years at the time. So it's understandable they'd be indifferent to people who've already had multiple Hero Factory sets by then. And also, young kids who were still interested in constraction at the time knew and loved Hero Factory but didn't care about Bionicle. I remember a lot of parents asking what happened to Hero Factory at the time because their kids loved it. But other than those kids, action figures in general lost a lot of popularity by then, kids would rather play as the heroes in some immersive video game than move around physical toys and pretend to be those characters. And yeah, I think older fans are just a relatively small group of autistic nerds, and even most of them hated G2.

As a kid I only vaguely knew the lore based on whatever illustrations and small comic strips came with the sets themselves. Like you could gather that the Rahi were the bad guys cause Tahu was fighting one on the box. Then the Bohrok came with a bunch of images where you can infer the swarm woke up and they had to stop them. Without words you could tell what was happening and sort of fill in the gaps with your imagination.

What if g3 is a kids horror story like poppy playtime, with 5 of the original toas being lobotimized by toa tuyet roaming some fortress like mindless droids while you as a rebel matoran try to find out the truth in this complex. Haunted by 5 lobotimized toa while secretly being helped by a hiding pohatu.

The way they can launch 3 is with a avatar style series, where the matoran are practicly enslaved in metro nui where a few eventually escape into the wilderness to build strength and return to overthrow tuyet

Then you have all of the cost of G1 with the flaws of using system for action figures. Honestly they shouldn't even bother with Bionicle and just do a new Technic robot series with gears and motors.

Disagree about them missing the point. The GWP was clearly meant to be a nostalgia-grab for people who grew up with it rather than directly appeal to a new generation of kids. I don't think LEgo would have locked it behind a $100 paywall or put an age rating of 18+ on the box otherwise.

Sick collection, I'm mostly into stuff up to around the Visoraks personally but it's crazy to see basically all of Bionicle laid out on shelves.

Do you collect anything else or other Lego to a significant extent, or have you devoted your autism to Bionicle only?

I'm not starting from scratch, I have a handful of childhood sets. The mainliners aren't that expensive - Toa, Bohrok, etc they're a bit pricey but not crazy. The Rahi and Titans are up there for sure but I really don't want most of them past like, 2004 or so.

Probably won't collect most of the minis/turaga/matoran/McTorans, they just don't interest me much.

I'm thinking like, Toa, Nuva, Bohrok, Kal, Rahkshi, Metru, Vahki, Viaorak.
Maybe Barraki, they're pretty neat but I really don't have much interest in Piraka or Phantoka/Mistika or any of that later crap.
Then like, titan sets past Roodaka I have very middling interest in. I have some like Makuta, Bohrok queens, Takanuva, Boxor, and Keetongu already. I think #1 on my list right now is probably the Exo Toa. I wanted one very badly since they were new.

Aren't those mechs like quite expensive for what they offer? The Monkie Kid sets are the most egregious examples.

That's actually true, ya, I didn't think about that aspect. Unique masks and weapons, as well as hands and possibly feet and other parts would probably be the deterrent to Bionicle coming back in any meaningful capacity. With G2, while the builds were pretty decent, especially with the Uniters, the weapons all felt so same-y with all the Toa and Beasts using those same 'elemental swords' which made them feel very boring. I personally liked the GWP enough that I built the original 7 Toa in a similar style, but without unique masks they're just not quite Bionicle. The printed masks are fine for what they are, but not as a dedicated theme.

I'd be ok if they instead opted for the 'villager' mask, like they did with the Protectors, rather than reuse of the Toa masks. I was going to say they should opt for mask packs since that'd be an easy way to reuse the pieces, but doesn't Lego consider a mold in a different color as a unique element? If not, making things like a mystery polybag with a villager in random colors, along with mystery masks and tools in various colors would be a great way to make the most of these parts. Using the same masks for a year or two would also be fine with me, with eventually different masks or upgrades for them or different Toa teams.

Waay too much speculation.

If we ever see "SCCBS" Bionicle, not having unique masks would be dumb. And I think introducing more unique weapons and armor pieces are something Lego would be less hesitant to do, as they can be reused in themes outside of Bionicle and they're already doing that with Ninjago mechs and system-based action figures.
>as well as hands
I don't think specialized hand pieces are necessary, they introduced those new finger pieces last year (iirc), it would make more sense to use them in Bionicle too.

>it would make more sense to use them in Bionicle too.
I was thinking if they're sized like the GWP. I can't picture them thinking the buildable superhero figures would be ideal for a Toa team. Titan, yes, but for a group of 6 (assuming they stick with that), it is absolutely not viable for them for the main heroes to be priced like that. Meanwhile at GWP size and assuming they didn't come with the base or Matoran like GWP Tahu did, they could be priced around that 9.99 price point, if not even lower.

Regarding the hand piece, I think a good hand piece would basically be this piece but looking a bit more like a hand. You could put in the mixel-to-axle piece in, then peg that in as a wrist in whatever mixel connection piece. That could also reach the "too much articulation" issue they've been running into, but if they put these in the 8+ range like original Bionicle, maybe they can ignore those complaints.

Well that upper arm piece doesn't exist, right? But what you're getting at there can work, but with the existing pieces the connection in the elbows and knees will actually get more range of motion. Aside from the gears that's more or less what I did to my GWP Tahu. It does also leave a lot of room for armor and what not, and with some brackets you can get shoulder armor going. It gets a bit busy around the joints so you end up losing a bit of the original 90° range, but they still move well.

>>11051787
You can add a couple 1x2 mixel joints in between the leg and foot and you have functional ankles. Or what some others have done with the hinge joint, but then you lose forward and back.

I post this every couple years because I'm praying someone out there knows what I'm talking about

I have always been an avid Bionicle fan, and frankly speaking, I was an autistic ass fucking kid. Summer 2009, me and my buddy in 2nd or 3rd grade went to Toys R US with my mom to both get Vastus, because we absolutely loved specifically green bionicles.

When we got home and opened our sets, I noticed immediately that my Vastus mask was different. Mine had snake heads at the tips of the helmet instead of the intended thorns design. Me, being retarded and wanting him to be "right", swapped our masks when no one was looking, fixing my Vastus and leaving my friend with the fucked up one.

It's been 15 years now, I've not seen my friend since like 4th grade. I know damn well he has long since lost that mask, but I am desperately trying to find someone in the Bionicle community who had this variation or knows what it could have been. I've been told before that it could've been an unfinished mold, but I remember the snake heads so distinctly.
