You heard it right. 2015. Bionicle is coming back. What are your thoughts?

I didn't choose the Astartes life, the Astartes life chose me.

Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Hero Factory needs to be expunged from all records, like The Last Airbender film and Scrubs season 9.

Given that my fourth Lego set (at the age of 4 ) was a Bionicle (one of the Bohrok, if you want to be specific), and I managed to collect at least one Bionicle from every series, I see that I had better start saving up.

EDIT: Post 800.

Very fortunately, I have a two years older brother. Otherwise I might have completely missed out on glorious things like this. But as it is we collected countless dozens of kits, including almost all in the original first waves.

I am excited! I really hope they don't screw this up. Honestly Bioncle was the only LEGO setting that had great (and fairly well thought out) lore (well... at least until the final few series, they got weird.).
Speaking of lore, assuming LEGO does that again, how will it work? I thought they ended it with the whole 'saved this weird planet, combined it with its moons and brought peace' thing.

Yeah, I wonder what new threat they will kick in. It got pretty DBZ-esque in the end.

From the looks of it the threat will be a weird insect/spider-esque thing.

Also, looks like the are remaking Tahu again. This is his, what, 5th incarnation?

I managed to collect all his incarnations in the end (I think it's 5 already... ?), I picked up the original for 50p at a Church fair! Easily one of my favourite characters, the original six heroes were very well developed. With a bit of luck, they'll return to the original simplicity, it got far too complicated just before they dropped the line.

Hmm, I might even have the Bionicle precursors somewhere. Those came with the flicky disks inside of those weird caskets. They were called Slizers or something.

I still have a lot of bionicle stuff still. They are quite awesome. And they also had a lot to do with it. It would be a cool thing to see it make a comeback.

Oh, yeah, I remember those. I'm assuming you're talking about the ones that look sort of like rather irate and heavily armed motorbikes? They had wheels that 'fired', although I don't recall them ever actually working.

On that note, what were folks' favourite Bionicle weapon systems? Personally, I liked the Inaka Orb Launchers with the rotating flicker. You could get some serious range with those things! Second would be the Metru disk launchers. I hated the underwater ones (the squid-flinger things) as I could never get them to work.

Stahp it Paradigm, you are making me all nostalgic here.

I was five-six something when the first Bionicles came.

As was I; with the exception of Star Wars, Lego and Bionicles were the possibly defining feature of my childhood.

I have one of those motorbikethings as well!
My favourite Bionicle weapon is that spinner-like thing on top of those spider Bionicles of which I don't know the name.

Those spinners were great! Fun if a bit unpredictable.
The disk launchers are my favourite, though that could be because I have a lot of the Metru Nui sets (all the Vahki, 2(3?) of the Toa and a few of the Matoran, that's a lot of disk launchers.)

Got my first Rhakshi at age 4. My collection continued to grow and I still have all my Bionicles. Over 40 Bionicles currently built and more pieces to build another 20 at least.

Most amazing sets ever. I even have Botar! (Axxon+Brutaka)

I liked the Inika launchers aswell

I think my brother and I caught the beginning of Bionicle before we aged out of it.

I think I have the core 6 toa in a box around my folk's house somewhere.

The swamp one with the claws was clearly the best.

No wargames these days, more DM/Painting.

I paint things occasionally. Some things you may even like!
