20-Year Anniversary Set?

@TheJerminator

And that’s why I think the Great Spirit Robot is such a great candidate. It’s a single model, and a massive, iconic part of the Bionicle story that never got any kind of set depiction. Additionally, it wouldn’t require any crazy new molds; it could be done entirely with System. Just look at that Mata Nui bust that I posted here a few days ago

I imagine it would take some explaining on Lego’s part, so that the casual consumer would know what the GSR really is. But yeah, it could be done with Lego’s current arsenal of parts.

@Ghid

let’s have it be a rerelease of Solek

Ah, yes. The one and only Solek. The single, most beloved set in the entire Bionicle community. The set that will sell out faster than the 501st battle pack should Lego give it a rerelease.

@LegoDavid

If they can’t risk to create a large UCS-style set, I would like for LEGO to do a promotion of sorts where we could get a re-issue of the Golden Ignika, so more casual people would be able to get it. I know this probably won’t realistically happen since the mold is probably long gone, but I think that would be an anniversary thing that would satify most people.

And if it were in solid gold, then I imagine it would go for hefty amounts on eBay.

Some kind of articulated brick built figure would be my goto

Which reminds me of this topic you made a while back…

system constraction in wave 2 of monkie kid

So recently, LEGO released images of the new wave of monkie kid sets, among them was “The Flaming Foundry” which includes this small brick built figure of the demon bull king [Screenshot at 2020-07-07 18-23-52] We’ve seen LEGO make brick built characters like this many times before (the redstone abomination from minecraft dungeons for example), but this one is very close to what I, and many others, would want from a system reboot of bionicle. It makes me wonder if LEGO is actively experimenting with the concept of system constraction, even if a bionicle reboot isn’t the intended culmination of those efforts, (which it most likely isn’t) it’s still very interesting to see.

@ToaOfPlastic

I just want there to be some kind of actual product that I can buy.

As does almost anybody in the Bionicle community…

@Cordax

and I’m here celebrating HF’s 10th anniversary

@Lesnichiy

Hey, CCBS is already 10 years old too!

Wow. I can’t believe I forgot about that.

@Kraata

What about Bionicle Minifig Blind Bags? Exclusive mini-figures of the most iconic characters from the theme, the Toa Mata, Makuta, Mata Nui, Krakua, etc.

I’ve had that exact idea in the past. Although, redesigning Bionicle figures in minifigure form would be a pretty risky gamble.
