Just so you’re aware:
- LEGO has never debated what kind of sets it will make in the year those sets are intended to release. LEGO sets tend to take many years to design and finalize, and the only way a Bionicle return would be in the early stages of the pipeline now is if was coming out in 2030.
- If LEGO really, truly checks this site often, they would see mostly Inika builds. I think it’s not an unfair assessment of the site or the builders that use it to say that set-worthy mocs do not pass through it very often, nor through many other forums, or even through the much flashier halls of Flickr or Instagram. I know I certainly haven’t posted any.
- TTV has a pretty consistent history with shutting down unsubstantiated rumors and warn against it in their rules. I’d recommend giving it a read some time. Side note, why have so few users read the guidelines? It’s a bit concerning.
Back on topic, I do genuinely wonder what a Bionicle made in the current year would even look like. If the future for Bionicle is System (and it certainly seems to be that way), we might be doomed to a Bionicle that looks like the current superhero buildable figures or the regurgitation of mech suits they make for every theme it can possibly fit into.
Hopefully we’d get minifigs of some kind, because (and perhaps this is an unpopular opinion) I think Bionicle minifigs would be fantastic. Unless the masks are all reprinted blank Iron Man helmets
