Lego Bionicle Deserves a Comeback... Again

[@CamTheLegoMan]

I have once again goofed🙂

[@genesisrhap6719]

I could imagine a G3 Bionicle succeeding if they were to reverse the approach from the original formula. Distribute the story and create sets around the characters popularity. They need to recapture the original velocity of the story in animation to captivate children but respect the story enough to draw the original base (and their new generation)

bionicle please come back 🙏🙏🙏

9:14 “Jaller’s story arc into becoming takanuva”

[@Shark_YGO]

"Jaller's story into becoming Takanuva" Cam please 😭😭😭

[@CamTheLegoMan]

We are going to pretend that never happened..

[@liammeech3702]

Makes for a good alt-timeline story 🤔

[@deadbygaylight]

There is a printed piece in the galaxy explorer depicting the astronauts finding a bionicle canister on the moon

nice video 👌 g2 was actually originally supposed to be an original new theme kinda like chima/hero factory. it was made Bionicle to save on marketing costs. the 2015 sets were made in a short turn around which is probably why they're just glorified hero factory & the 2016 ones were supposed to be their own thing. this is pretty new info that not many people know about but I figured to leave the comment for food for thought.

[@shroomzzz]

I can't imagine them doing anything like the they did in the Golden era. Some of those mold/color combos were very esoteric, limited only to a single set in some cases. More likely you'd get something distilled, like hero factory. The old molds are said to be destroyed because it costs too much to maintain them.

The way I see it, the real bionicle g3 was the friends we made along the way. As such, I'm content using new technic support to help future proof my builds

BIONICLE was the only dark fantasy from LEGO, and series really focussed at the more mature consument than other original series. Ninjago, Chima, Nexo Knights etc. have own story, but even in the darkest moments, all those series look pretty childlish compared to BIONICLE which was like watching anime on Jetix (Naruto, Shaman King or whatever you were watching as kids instead of standard child-friendly cartoons). Now, LEGO doesn't have in their offer anything for teen fans. There's a huge gap between Ninjago and 18+ sets, waiting for dedicated product. And unfortunatelly, all we can do is doing our best with LEGO Ideas and keeping talking about BIONICLE under LEGO's posts on Instagram, Twitter and FB, hoping that someday, someone in the company will notice how huge mistake LEGO made by killing the construction building system. Seriously, I can understand replacing best LEGO series with worse successor like Hero Factory, but killing whole building system? It's like telling to 25% of consuments "We're not gonna make product for you anymore" :p

I'm disappointed in myself as i only brought one set from the 2015 wave and it was the protector of earth i adored that set but i just never got anymore of them i think they were only stocked at my Waterstones and i guess i was too into Star Wars, Ninjago that i never looked back. If they ever bring it back set number 40581 is the way to do it, it would be this interesting scale as they could do the figures brick built whilst giving us locations as well making them play sets would be really interesting and differentiate it from the previous versions. A brick built mask collection in the way they do the LEGO Star Wars Helmets would be a nice thing as well!

[@XieRH1988]

bionicle always kind of reminded me of power rangers, namely the trope of the superhero team of similar-looking characters differentiated by colour even the 7th toa from mask of light was basically the trope of that special 'extra' power ranger that joins the team later on I think just like with power rangers, it starts out strong and popular, then as the years go by, the fad dies down because it keeps repeating the same general formula over and over. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realise that the story narrative basically just runs in a loop. 6 new heroes or 6 new monsters following the same colour scheme

[@andresrios9855]

Actually, Bionicle ended when they stopped making play set packaging(canisters). Around when Hero Factory Breakout came out.

[@liammeech3702]

If BlackTron can make a comeback (if rumours for 2025 are to be believed) then the Bonks can too.

[@riddell26]

2 words. Bionicle, Acceleracers.

[@Corrupt420]

Great video man

[@Bionicleforever]

Considering the current state of Lego I can't imagine they would ever be able to bring something as good as bionicle or just bionicle back again. They don't have the desperation that led to creativity, they are coasting off of licensed themes and "adult" sets. Don't even feel like Lego from 2006 that made the Piraka is the same company as the one now that is bringing us "Geology rocks" lol

[@questforfuturecreativity]

Cool video👍🤩 and hope you are ready for 2025 and the invite to bring back the mystery in a totally new way with an urgent mission. This is what Bionicle trained you for🤩✌️✏️🌊#rebelnatureip

[@wick9785]

3:40 im so sorry

[@Chefbigpp]

Look up Chef Labs - there ain't much to see yet, but I'm getting closer

[@JerryDaoivus]

Lego did bionicle so wrong in gen 2 that I do agree

[@Tjalf_TJ]

my fav toa is also nuva so bulky but still classic look

[@Xirus.]

i really loved when jaller became takanuva bro no hate, im just joking, i subbed

[@nesterpowers8814]

We all look at G1 through rose glasses and my example of this is how everyone says G2 failed cuz the story when G1 wave 1 had almost no story...that's what made it so interesting was all the mystery. I personally loved wave 1 of G2 but the story was weak and let's be honest lego never prioritized story for any sets until bionicle blew up in the first place I think G2 should have been release slower and start by putting more emphasis on the protectors to A have more mask design for protectors and B to build a story of protectors growing into powerful characters that could be TOA candidates or sometholing like that

[@rahasanum]

G2 was a hero factory DLC lol

[@RTU130]

👍

[@JesseTroller]

Maybe you should get into Ninjago, it has a few similarities with Bionicle.

[@Bionickpunk]

The only similarity is color coded characters with elemental powers , that's it.

[@HanesAnimates]

I respect Ninjago, but Bionicle is definitely better.

[@sergeyonosergey]

Ninjago was created just to become the new "easier" bionicle for lego
