So I’ve been thinking about how LEGO could actually reboot Bionicle without repeating G2’s mistakes, and honestly the answer seems pretty obvious now.
The big change is the build style. Drop pure constraction and go mostly System with some Technic. Basically a Technic skeleton with ball joints, then layered brick-built armor on top. Around 130–170 pieces per Toa. It keeps the posability but makes them feel like real LEGO sets again, and way more customizable.
Price-wise it has to stay accessible:
Toa in the $15–20 range
Small villains around $10–15
Mid-tier villains $25
Titan maxing out at $40
Wave 1 would just be the classic Toa Mata lineup:
Tahu with sword and shield, more bulky and aggressive
Gali with hooks/spears and smoother armor shaping
Lewa lighter, fast-looking, maybe small brick-built wings
Onua as the heavy tank with a hammer
Pohatu more compact and agile
Kopaka with spear and shield, cleaner icy design
Villains would be simple but effective:
A cheap beast enemy (Rax) for army building
Humanoid “corruptor” enemies with an infection gimmick
Warden Gravox as the main boxed villain
And a titan called The Kernel as the big bad
Play features stay straightforward:
Swappable masks with simple “power” identities
A core piece in each chest for collectibility
Toa can combine in pairs into larger builds
Summer wave would expand things instead of replacing them:
Upgraded versions of the same Toa with new armor and masks
Shift the setting into jungle and underwater environments
Introduce a Barraki-style creature villain
Add a bigger titan like the Shadow Colossus
Plus smaller creature sets and mask packs as cheap entry points

>>11753466
Story would start simple and build over time:
The world is basically a giant biomechanical system being taken over by something called the Archive, a corrupted AI rewriting everything
The Toa are reactivated defenders tied to different regions
Masks are fragments of control over this system
Instead of dumping heavy lore immediately, just do short-form content online and slowly expand it.
Rough 3-year plan:
Year 1 establishes the core six and main conflict
Year 2 expands the world, adds combiners and maybe a simple game tie-in
Year 3 goes bigger with a show and larger display-style sets
Main goal is just to make Bionicle feel like LEGO again while keeping the identity that made it stand out in the first place. Now, pic related is AI but I used it to give you an idea how the sets could look based on >>11753466 this set moc made for Tahu gwp.

And wave 2. I think this idea has potential to be a big hit for Lego and can make cool mocs eith both technic and system.

How is Alien Conquest a failed original theme, when it wasn't supposed to last longer than a year?

>>11753473
The second wave was cancelled, it was supposed to release in 2012, there are pics of a few sets if you google it. The Galaxy Squad big bug thing that laucnhes eggs was a Alien Conquest set modified for Galaxy Squad.

>>11753476
Same.

>>11753476
Bionicle was a core memory for them growing up, nothing Lego do will ever live up to the nostalgia. Hell most of them are just lore fans now and don't own many bonkles anyway.

I'm a zoomer (born when Bionicle G1 released lol), never ever owned one Bionicle set, not even G2 though I was aware of it but was in dark age then, I think the lore is fucking amazing and no theme has come close to replicating the sheer scale of it other than Ninjago and I guess Chima. Was into Hero Factory though (but I owned knockoff Hero Factory not real Lego). I will buy like 3 or 4 Tahu cmfs because I want a part of that legacy since now I only buy official lego sets. I got the Ninjago 15th anniversary display last week for example because I'm nostalgic for Ninjago. On Bionicle I respect it and think it was badass but the reboot came at the wrong time in my opinion. But if they would reboot it now? I'd buy it.

Why do zoomers hype up so much the time period of 2007-2013 of lego? The themes released during that time were pretty bad. I also see they glaze the shit out of Power Miners, Space Police, Exo Force and Mars Mission as being the holy grail of Lego. (Though I recently see Chima and Nexo Knights glazers too)...

>>11753462
Fuck I didn't watch s4 did I just get beatrix spoiler?
Also the legends mechs look awesome but that's to be expected from legends kino! As for the fortnite one......I actually think it's really cute but I can't wait for them to do that thing where they sell just the minifigures in 2027

>>11753481
People like things from when they were kids the reason you're seeing chima and nexo knights "glaze" is because time is passing by and the kids that grew up on those are looking back at it and appreciating it.

I think I spent too much :(

wall of text. I can feel your passion

Sorry but Lego is not going to touch Bionicle due to muh-culture-stealing politics with all the names. you might as well be hoping they bring back the Washington Redskins. same vibes.

the only slim-chance reality would be a giant only-option $500 set with a massive nostalgia display. remember we all did math on how profitable that kind of thing is? it might generate tens of millions of dollars for Lego. but probably still not worth it due to all the 100% unique pieces it would likely require (unless they were all brick-built, which would enrage fans? might still sell if done right)

it might seem that way...
(pic related was in a 6000+ piece Ninjago set I forgot the huge price lol)

but I think it's more likely Lego feels intense shame for the name-culture-insensitivity stuff. if they had only come up with completely original names, I think it's likely that Lego would have done -something- (?) with it by now (or even kept it going for all these years)

making a "cosplay character" gives Lego a level of separation. it's not Lego doing the culture-robbing, it's that one minifig doing it, instead (conceptually, of course. the irony is that it's still Lego doing the figure in the first place)

Knights Kingdom II is like the blueprint for modern lego themes with its color coded named characters and emphasis on conflict in a box design philosophy. I had a lot of tge first two waves growing up but can say this theme sucked ass and is maybe the lowest point in castle's history.

My favorite thing in Knights Kingdom II is this minifigure from the third and final wave.

>>11753939
The only thing unique about him is the head print kekaroony

>>11753455
I still think this theme has so much potential, especially if it goes on hiatus and returns as a standard One Piece theme instead of being based on the Netflix show. The fantastical locations and characters are done dirty by having to be depicted by their live action counterparts.
Just imagine how cool the following would be, as official sets, rendered with manga / anime accurate minifigs and locations:
Enies Lobby
Marineford
Thousand Sunny
Wano
Whole Cake Island
Egghead

>>11753466
There are two big issues to tackle for any Bionicle revival attempt going forward: price and appeal.
Price is simple. These sets need to be small and be piece efficient in manufacturing. I hate this but it's just the new world we live in, a lot has changed in twenty years.
Appeal is more complicated. I personally believe that action figures have supremely gone out of fashion (or at least declined majorly in popularity) over the past decade. Constraction and/or brick built figs might be a different niche arguably however I don't know if there is a place in the market for a theme like this anymore.

One other thing is scope. I like your ideas but there's a problem, which is that the days of "six fellas in canisters per wave" model is over. Bionicle simply cannot have the number of sets you are describing, nowhere near close in fact. The few sets they make need to be all budget, with only one being the xpensive marquee showstopper purchase.

>>11753691

Been looking into lumibricks recently, sets are quite impressive but I unfortunately feel like the lack of licensed IPs really kills i terest for normalfags but for legofags I think the minifig design is what I have been seeing as the most common complaint. I've been trying to warm up to them but the round beer belly bottoms and weird flap on the heads is offputting. Will literally anyone ever get the minifig right? It seems like other companies have reached a point where tgis is genuinely the greatest disadvantage they are facing.

Lego themselves have re-done the little figures, several times.

Lego is expanding the not-minifig sets at an unbelievable rate, other rip-off companies can copy that style of building set 100%. for example, Mattel is doing Speed Champions-ish cars and even including actual matching Hot Wheels with them.

none of that matters, Lego is still crushing it.

Since we are getting closer to the five season story arc for Dragons Rising ending, at least that is what they said when it was announced, with the story starting in 2023 and expected to wrap up in 2027, and with plans already in place for 2028 and 2029 sets, I am curious what you think.

What do you think is the best set or thing that came from this era? And what are your thoughts on Legends and Legacy? I think after the success of the fifteenth anniversary Legacy sets, Legacy will continue beyond this year and we might finally get more show accurate sets like the blacksmith shop. Legends is pretty cool but they should do longer episodes, I like the idea of a Ninjago for older fans though Dragons Rising is also very mature.

I can also say the villains we got in 2025 and 2026 for Dragons Rising are incredible and on par with years one and two of classic Ninjago. And with a live action Ninjago possibly coming in 2028 or 2029, the series is just growing. Maybe we will even get another big Ninjago video game like the upcoming Lego Batman game.

Only thing is for sure, Ninjago is here to stay and soon we will celebrate their 20th, 25th and 30th. Oh, I also think pic related is badass.

Ninjago has a good show, can be watched by adults too, the other lego theme shows were cringey. Chima had amazing lore but an awful tv show. I do wish they brought back Chima, the only theme out of those that deserves a second chance.

>>11754092
>five season story arc
Did they say that's all it would be?

>>11754092
>Ninjago has a good show
Not gonna watch it, I dislike the theme, but I'll take your word for it

>>11754093
When they announced DR at SDCC in 2023, they said the story was planned as a five season story arc. However, I do think Doc Wyatt, who has been leading Ninjago since Tommy Andreasen stepped away, mentioned that Dragons Rising itself will continue beyond that.

Right now, all we know is that in Season 4 Part 2, coming this summer, we should finally get our first look at Lord Ras’s master and start setting up the final battle for this story arc in 2027. After Season 5, the show might continue under the Dragons Rising iteration or possibly get a new name. Either way, these characters and the story will keep growing.

I expect another soft reboot, similar to what happened when the show was rebranded to just Ninjago after Masters of Spinjitzu ended following the Oni Trilogy, which ran from 2019 until 2022. And then again in 2023 with Dragons Rising brand. By the end of 2027 DR will be 5 years old and will need to get new kids hooked as the story keeps growing so a soft reboot is needed so they won't need to watch the older seasons. Dragons Rising works even if you never watched the show until then.

So there could be another rebrand around 2028, especially with the live action movie also in development. If the Legends sets are anything to go by, I think they might be preparing something like a “Ninjago: The Next Generation” concept. That is just my speculation, but it seems possible since the children or descendants of the ninja will appear in the summer sets and CMF Series 29.

Lloyd will apparently have a unique role, as the story suggests he comes from an alternate timeline where the other ninja are dead, or at least that is what we have been told. Of course, that information came from the CMF theme designer, and the actual Ninjago team might handle it differently. Ultimately, it is up to them to decide.

Because Exo Force could return very well, it has story potential. And with AI threat it works too also we could have them go in space too like Gundam and fight aliens in mechs. Only problem is ninjago doing so many mechs so ninjago would need to make less mech sets. Golden city wave was cool.

If I were Lego CEO I would make a Icons subtheme which would be its own theme that would have remakes of old classic lego themes millenials and zoomers grew up with.

Psy-op by employees to get their main non license theme making money

By the end of 2026 lego will have only ninjago, friends, city and creator as non licensed themes. 4 themes and the rest are licenses. Lego also changed the retirement date for ALL dreamzzz sets to december 31, 2026. This year sets and last year summer sets were supposed to retire in 2027 and 2028. We are cooked.

I don't get how its so much profitable for lego to make licensed themes that they have to pay license fees and a big part of profits goes to the licensor than making original in house themes where all the profit goes in house. Make it make sense...

>>11754100

The last time Lego even had a dedicated space theme was 2013 with Galaxy Squad, and it was one of maybe two or three space themes that actually had a bad guy faction with their own vehicles and backstory.

Since then Lego space has just been nothing but a spinoff of City, and its just Lego Not-NASA. And the only time aliens appear now is when they're cutesy little friendly guys. Just about as close as they get to space "bad guys" anymore is stuff like random drops in CMF waves. And even then, stuff like the Blacktron II guy was half mutated monster thing.

When Lego was actually regularly doing space themes, it was perfectly fine and easy for them to alternate between Good guys, bad guys, and even civilian space factions without needing there to be the "conflict in a box." I mean, it was easy to just look at factions like Blacktron, Spyrius, UFO, etc. and know they were bad guys.

>>11754136
You would think with us entering a new space race era because everyone wants to build bases on the Moon now, you would think Lego would do more space sets.

Didn't the 2024 space sets sell?

Did you know an alien invasion storyline was actually considered a few times for Ninjago? The Hageman brothers wanted to introduce aliens in season 4, but the Ninjago lead designer Tommy Andreasen pushed back on the idea. He felt that space and aliens did not belong in Ninjago, so they went with the tournament instead. That is also why one episode in season 3 shows the ninja in space, it was originally meant to set up season 4.

They even thought about doing another alien invasion later on after Andreasen left the team to focus on Dreamzzz, but it never turned into anything. Honestly, I doubt we will see it happen anytime soon.

There is also some concept art of an alien spaceship from the era when Ninjago was doing dungeons, gamers, and similar themes.

Ok, I looked it up, Lego Vidiyo was launched in march 2021 and cancelled in july 2021 with all sets retiring by january 2022.

Smart Bricks launched in March so we should have a sort of announcement in July? Or only after Pokemon launch? I doubt pokemon will save them including for the fact the sets will be available in only 6 countries. They really fucked the pokemon theme in 2026 because of smart bricks integration.

They did work on a revival internally but it fell off. We even have 2022 list of sets

>>11754224
Not him but I think his reasoning is because kids or parents would save up money and buy these as gifts during the holidays and thats when biggest lego sales happen.

I personally think by august the fate of the smart play will be decided. Problem is smart play launched in 6 countries only so you don't really see how bad it really does compared to vidiyo which launched globally I also think the tech needed for smart bricks gets more expensive because of wars.

The actual question is will the failure of smartbricks even matter to lego or will it just be one failure they can patch up with licensed theme sales and be done with it?

>>11754233
It will matter to us not them because it means all that money and development time spent on smart bricks instead of something better and they'll probably use it as an excuse to price gouge even more go recoup their costs.

Also hundreds of employees are banished to the underground bunkers where there will be forced to take picture with vitiligo cavemen for promo pictures.

that Fortnitie set is one of the worst sets Lego has done in years. I know nothing about Fortnite, but that monster thing looks amazing. worth consideration, even without knowing anything about Fortnite, the big toothy chomper is neat.

but TWO minifigs?
it's not even only-$100. it's $110.
and one of those minifigs is a re-color piece. that banana head mold is not new.

who is this skeleton guy? did Lego think he's worth $110 all by himself? if this set had 8 or 9 more characters like the bus set had, I might have got it, but 2 minifigs is ridiculous, especially considering Fortnite has like what, 5000 characters? and a lot of them could be simple torso prints and hair piece re-colors...

Yes, One Piece is my favorite manga, it's a highly popular IP with all ages but especially children, and long-time Lego fans love pirates, why wouldn't it be ok?
I just personally want manga accuracy instead of Netflix shittery, but as >>11754307 says, that will hopefully become sometime in the next couple of years. And one upside of the Netflix designs is that they're more stereotypically pirate-y instead of being a weirder pirate fantasy which I feel appeals more to Lego pirates boomers.

Only if it were a full theme, I don't consider $500 sets once a year a full theme. Now if DnD or Zelda became a full theme like One Piece or Harry Potter? I'd be ok with that. Also I don't consider Harry Potter a Castle theme, more like a spin off if you will.

Say it lads, would you prefer 6-7 sets at different price points per year for LotR or Zelda? Only one of theme could get this treatment and the other will be locked in to 18+ $500 sets.

Oda's best friend is a pedophile and One Piece is incredibly lewd through the entire series. Dragon Ball is only lewd at the start. Basically get 0 fan service from the manga after a while. It's also easy for remakes to work around the lewdness of Dragon Balk because it was more or less out there as a joke as opposed to One Piece which has the lewdness baked into the characters and world.

>>11754338
Listen, they don't look bad, but manga accurate figures would be so much better. I hate that Lego is moving away from tooning and trying to unify fig faces, you can see this in Star Wars with humanoid characters who have historically had makeup or even unique headpieces, and they're now just standard fig heads, the usual head expressions that you might see in a City set, etc.

Germs have crazy good discounts on lego. Just look at Smyths. I wonder why that is. Probably since the European factories are all in EU Schengen countries and germs buy a lot of lego so it’s not only cheap to ship but they know everything will sell

Danke Danke. Good call on the ps5 with the price hike. I’m buying up retro consoles and games right now while they’re still available. The last “system” I bought was a DS lite in ‘07’. The last computer game I got sucked into was Diablo 2. New games just have no interest for me.

What do you guys do for a living? I'm too poor for new LEGOs...

What's the best way to sort these guys out? Also, nobody touched the pieces in years, why are they all cracking and breaking now?

today is the day
where Genshin Impact stops supporting the PS4. I'm too poor to afford the PS5 so now I have to figure out how to play on my phone with lame touch-screen controls ugh.

that doesn't have much to do with Lego, unless Lego feels like they want to make sets for the most profitable game ever, that you can play for 100% for free though

bro... why are so many ppl adverse to pc gaming
you can run most games way better for cheaper
is it just fear of operating systems

I never had any problems, I think its all americans who complain because they get their lego from mexico factory.

you can actually neet lego if you dont drink/smoke desu
i dont recommend it because neeting sucks for other reasons but thats def an option

>>11754371
I was thinking of getting the full range of shart brick sets for 95% off once it’s already cancelled but the more I look at it I realize it’s stuff lego already produces but at a better quality elsewhere. You wouldn’t even buy them for minisfigures because they are minis you get elsewhere without the trash can logo printed on the side and unfortunate logo on the back. It’s not even a good parts pack because the sets are tiny and specialized. The only reason to get them is for shitposting.

>>11754425
the oldest pieces I have are from 2007 "hillside house" set I think it was a creator 3 in 1. But I also have a lot of pick a brick stuff cracked too, and I got those maybe 8 years ago. Is this just normal?
>>11754427
My Volkswagen was assembled in Mexico, but it hasn't fallen apart after 25 years though. Besides, why would location of production be responsible for this?

Hard to believe someone involved in both Pokemon cards and Lego could make something like this. The scalper/“investor” situation in either hobby is so different as to be totally incomparable. Scalping is practically non-existent in LEGO save for a handful of specific promo sets (GWPs, insider rewards). And insofar as there’s an “investor” class, it seems to have simply latched onto a fairly “organic” trend of post-retirement growth.
In pokemon, stores are cleaned out the moment they’re stocked, especially of trendy, desirable product, but even of garbage sets no one really wants, and the massive influx of “investors” has jacked the price of vintage cards to ludicrous extremes. Decades-old cards I bought just pre-pandemic are now selling for 10-15X what I bought them for, and these cards are steadily trending back to where they were during the retarded pandemic boom where people panic- and hype-bought cards for 3x the price they sold for just a couple weeks prior.

>>11754441
I think it depends where you keep the sets and if there are oil difussers around, they can affect the abs plastic at microscopic level and create cracks. Temperatures too.

I believe in you.

Lego is a God send gift. I always pray to my Lego sets and say they are the greatest things ever made.
>dust my sets
>pray to them and say they are super cool and I don't deserve them and should be glad I own them

Anyone else?

Anyone have a Kohls by them? Was just at mine and somehow got a bunch of series 29 minifigs, didn't even know they did CMFs.

This is excellent bait on a technical level. You’re creepy and probably gay though so you lose points there.

If you are an adult - being in pokemon or lego hobbies outside of this /lg/ thread on 4chan is pain.

It's either reddit level "my wife gifted me this black box of flowers" or WORSE.
it's not fun.
it's not fun.
it's soul crushing.

Normies fried their minds to the point of no return. They live in "minimalism" world where they can't have "stuff" because it's a "Visual Noise".
So they can buy only black boxes of maximum normie level.

Stuff like (insert any original theme) is cringe for them and a sign of a "poorfag" or "creepy nerd".
I'm not even kidding - i once heard how normies discuss interior design and say that buying regular Lego "cheats you in the eyes of others," and that the interior should be furnished with 18+ Lego.

+ scalpers and investors do exist in lego - it's not as terrible as in pokemon but still.

Both of these hobbies were touched by a normie-hand that made it less fun.

All of my pre-2000-2007ish bricks are perfectly fine except for some rare dark blue pieces.

*cheapens you

not "cheats" lol...but you get the idea
It's the same reason why normies would buy a $3000 designer vinyl toy instead of "an actual toy".
>eww...creepy old toy that used to cost 10 bucks...it will make me look like a greasy dork

building robots to (roughly) minifigure scale sure is tricky. It doesn't quite forgive all the scuffed droidekas we've had over the years, but after trying my hand at an ARC wasp, I can appreciate the difficulty in juggling accuracy, shape and toyetics
