And it was based on a fan model, too.

They just shoved Tahu into a really expensive set just to make him hard to get

You say this as if this were a low-effort, last-minute addition to an existing set, but… this was the entire point of the set. Lego made a Box Of Bricks set, and chose to honour past themes for the 90th Anniversary by basing the inspirational models off of past sets. Bionicle was one of the themes they chose to honour by making a small version of an iconic set.

It’s not like this was marketed as “the return of Bionicle”, or was somehow supposed to revive widespread interest in Bionicle.

@Enbeanie

it’s lego officially representing Bionicle in 2022, something we have been screaming for for years.

Bionicle has been represented in sticker form across many sets for years.

I’m not sure if that’s “official” representation. Tiny Tahu is the first time since G2 that Lego said “Hey, this is A Bionicle Thing, made from our Bionicle IP”.

just to make him hard to get

I made him in fifteen minutes with my own pieces

[ToaKebaka]

Yeah, we WISH “just to make it hard to get” was the actual reason, as that would imply Lego higher-ups percieve it as something of great value and demand. Alas, that is not the case.

How do you know?

[ToaKebaka]

Could you link it? I am interested.

Ninjago City Docks Mask of Ultimate Power.

So I watched the New Podcast Highlight and noticed something, they show the mask of ultimate power on a Sticker, but it’s not the mask of ultimate power, it’s a fan version, clearly. [image] [image] [image] I don’t know why this is, maybe lego didn’t want to actually use their design (for some reason), or, the designers for this set looked it up (seeing as it’s one of the first results) and thought it was the official design (which looks like this); [image] [image] Should we contact the creator about this? He might want to know that his design is being used.
