@@kaitracksmalgom Same for me. At first glance I was kinda happy to get at least anything Bionicle but also disappointed, because it looks nothing like Bionicle. I just couldn't see what this little Baby Tahu would start within the community. And all this stuff is also a direct message to Lego that we'd like to see more Bionicle.

Just having a good time you could say

Thank you Lego!

Agreed, it's a proper character arc and I love it.

Bionicle pieces are some of the only few old Lego I have they're awesome

And Chima has such a small fanbase no one is Chimaposting. It's depressing, honestly. I'm somewhat bitter about this.

Eh, mild disagree. I don't really believe in the "better than nothing" mentality, but I do guess it's at least something.

@@A_VeryIdea People are always willing to settle for less

as much as I love brick tahu, let's face it. If lego corporate had its way, brick tahu wouldn't even exist. It's almost like they want to erase constraction from our minds.

I wish there still was so much hype around exo force. It's not really an original concept but I think it was so cool

Exo Force was alright, but the reason it wasn't well-known was because it had to compete with both Lego Star Wars and Bionicle.

@@cakeboss4194 It was my first introduction to mecha, it had a bit of a city pop aesthetc going on and I think the robots looked very bionicle. I really like that they are doing asian themed mechs again in ninjago, thats a bit of a silent reboot. Also Lego was more open to try out different play freatures, details with stickers, lights and what not.

NGNL season 2 and Bionicle. Things that are bound together by the rejection of their creators, and the desire from their fans.

I was happy today you bastard

Same.

I mean, take a look at mocs of Brickheadz Jar Jar Binks for how aome would embrace the concept. But I do agree, fans got vocal recently about the Clone Fighter Tank getting a size and complexity reduction resembling a Juniors build.

Frankly, as a Star Wars fan, we could use a joke or two like this.

At this point, lego sees the bionicle community as nothing but a dog begging at it's feet at the dinner table

Yeah the lego star wars community is extremely toxic and filled with complainers. Especially mnrproductions....

LEGO Star Wars: so popular that any bit of dissatisfaction makes people mad. Bionicle: fragile ball jointed figures that LEGO has discontinued for a long time, people are happy to see it being acknowledged even if the only thing they get is a Mixel style Toa Tahu without well defined legs.

Seriously heck the regular lego fandom and other sections of lego fans tend to be extremally toxic and very elitist Bionicle fans... nah we just go "Welcome aboard" and send you some of the best sound tracks of the 2000s

Man we've just been battered so hard by this point we're ready for pretty much anything lmao.

i'm so happy to see that people still haven't forgotten about hero factory, even the bionicle community 🥺

Bionicle: The older brother who had so much potential but got body-slammed by life. He's seen some shit and been through some shit, but still loves his family. Hero Factory: The little brother who tried to follow in his big brother's footsteps and got crushed even harder. Now all they have is each other. And that's more than enough.

Hero Factory only got hate because we felt LEGO kicked Bionicle to the curb in favour of a series with much less interesting lore and sets. Then we figured out that no, LEGO was kicking Bionicle to the curb regardless and Hero Factory was just them seeing if the parts could still sell without the lore behind them... Plus it's fun to think of it as being a far future view of Sphera Magna or something.

Oh dear god

Also of note is the similarity between Battle Force 5 and Hero Factory. Both forgotten, mediocre (i think) shows that came after the original beloved series, are completely removed from the canon of said series, and aimed at a younger audience.

i'm more shocked that i recognized the galidor reference when it passed by, i havent seen galidor since they had happy meal toys of them.

@@Speculector I unfortunately had every set. Literally the worst thing Lego ever came up with with poor designs. Fortunately they had a really dumb tv show where one of the planets (cannon in story) was called Kek

Unrelated to bionicle, but nice 9 pfp

@@Mothbean Thanks. It’s one of my favorites films. Really good movie.

It's the Inika anthem, I remember watching that add spot so much as a kid.

It was used for marketing purposes for the Inika Line, which going back and thinking about it made sense because the Bad Guys already won that storyline.

Goofy ahhh tahu is love, goofy ahhhh tahu is life

Sometimes, your comments make me cry of joy, this is a fantastic way of seing this, it feels like the Bionicle community gathered around after years to hear the legend of the Bionicle again.

Before this there have been small Bionicle easter eggs in other themes (at least Hidden side and Monkey Kid)

I still hear this song once in a while on the radio and every time I do it puts a nostalgic smile on my face and I say "Hey, it's the Bionicle song!" I neither know nor care if the song was written and recorded specifically for the Lego marketing campaign or if they just licensed it, all I do know is for all of us, it will forever be the Bionicle Song.

General Kenobi!

@@realtchallamama I don't really remember but one is in the Hidden Side buss set, so you could look for a rewiev of it if you don't own the set yourself

Honestly, same. I fully plan on getting it the day it releases, building Tahu, and then just using the rest of the parts to build random things down the line. It's gonna be great!

@@Wixhael How many of these sets "minus Tahu" do you think will show up on eBay? ;-)

@@SupersuMC Huh, that hadn't even occurred to me but you're totally right! There'll probably wind up being a TON of people that resell the rest of the builds and just keep Tahu.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the video!

Rahkshi: "Are you sure about that?"

@@SupersuMC :TahuPog:

I like both.

I mean, it doesn't have to be technic anymore. Lego has made great strides with its mech building (see: the monkey kid mechs as an example) so I personally feel that a Bionicle line could be done entirely in system now, unlike back then when system just wasn't refined enough for it. Pretty much the only "specialized" pieces they'd have to make would be the masks and weapons, and even in that case the weapons at the least could find a home in a lot of other system MOCS pretty easily. I'd personally just do it like Exo Force...a line of entirely system-build robots/mechs, but instead of being traditional "mechs with a pilot" they'd be the Bionicle character we know and love. Since a big selling point of Bionicle in the past was its accessibility, I can imagine the Toa and their "evil counterparts" (Bohrok, Rakshi, Visorak etc...) being about the same size, scale, piece count(?) and most importantly, price point, as the smaller Marvel mechs (which as far as I know where $9.99, ironically the same price as an OG G1 Toa back in the day. I don't know if recent inflation has changed that though), which are all actually fairly good robots despite the scale and price. Mid-sized sets could be things like Rahi, other mid-ranked enemies, and possibly "premium" Toa with vehicles or exo-toa style armor (think OG Takunuva with his hoverbike) while Teridax/"Makuta" and other big titans like him would be the big, $100.00 + sets alla the Monkey Kid mechs.

@@josephcittadino6541 Yeah I could totally see that happen! With all the new pieces buildable figures can be personalized like never before! Just think of G1 Bionicle, many parts didn't really fit to one another, with every piece having a specific use in mind and just a few counterparts that really connect to it. And then look at the new Iron Man. This figure is more meant for display though, but it shows us, that with plates, slopes and SNOT you can have basically every design you wish for without having to create entirely new pieces to resemble, say, a limb. And no more need for clone sets! I don't blame Lego for doing clone sets back in the day, the different groups of characters needed to look like a team, but with system you can transfer the team look without copying the exact build! System has become quite powerful over the years. They still can use ball and socket connections and some basic pieces left over from the CCBS/constraction era, but I honestly don't see any reason why they shouldn't make Bionicle in system. Question is, would another Bionicle run sell well enough? I guess if Lego really wanted to bring it back, they could start small with a cannister sized standalone set or also a bigger D2C/18+ set, that way they could test if there's still a market for it. Just imagine, a Great Spirit Robot system set, fully movable, with all the islands inside the robot and functions to simulate the stages of beeing forced to sleep to beeing fully re-awakened and taken over by Teridax😍 I would buy it👍🏻

@@alexthematoranlegoreviewsu6622 I mean, if its system I think it would sell just fine...also, you don't need to use contraction joints....system has its own joints (mixel joints,_, and they are actually designing a brand new, system-based CCBS building system that they will be introducing in an upcoming Ninjago wave. Like, Monkey Kid sells just fine and its a very mech-heavy line. So as long as Bionicle g3 is in system and not technic/old school CCBS, I think it would sell fine. That being said, I think they really would need to get some of the old guard from G1 back on the project to craft the story and aesthetic/feel of it. One of the big reasons g2 flopped in my opinion was the drastic change in aesthetic and feel. G2 went from the mysterious, "alien," and dark/foreboding yet inviting and cool feel to basically just feeling like a bogstandard, light-hearted, Ben 10 or Skylanders style kids action cartoon....aka feeling more like Ninjago than Bionicle. Part of what made Bionicle stand out among a sea of other kids toys back in the day was that unique feel....it just felt so.... different...If they wanted to sell the theme to kids again, I feel they'd need to recapture that old feel and asthetic, albiet with a modern twist, just so it stands out against other system lines like Ninjago. Ninjago and Monkey Kid already fill the "light-hearted kids action cartoon feeling line" niche, so I feel for Bionicle to sell, it should go more for the serious/dark, foreboding, yet inviting and cool feel G1 had as opposed to the Ninjago-y/kids action cartoon-y feel g2 had. If they tried to go light-hearted and kids cartoon-y like they did with G2, it would just get lost among the sea of similar-feeling lego themes (Ninjago, Monkey Kid, Marvel etc...) Adult bionicle fans would eat the line up regardless, while adult system fans would be down if the builds are good enough, or give enough solid system pieces that can be used elsewhere. Kids will be the hardest demographic to market it to for sure, which is why I'd feel they'd need at least some of the old G1 guard back to re-capture the G1 feel and really make it stand out and feel different when put next to themes like Ninjago and Monkey Kid. They also, obviously, would need to make the story available to new generations. Heck, since Bionicle g1 already has such a great story that's already written, instead of trying to reboot the seires' lore and story again I'd just recycle G1's world and story, and retell it for a new generation in a new format that resonates with them more. Instead of comic books and flash games, maybe youtube videos, mobile games/apps, and a Netflix/streaming series. The adult fans would love to see their old favorit characters back in a new, system form, while the kids would get to experience the same, amazing story, world and lore us old fans got but in a way that resonates with them. While this marketing would take a fair chunk of money for sure, Bionicle has enough of an established adult fanbase that if Lego was convinced they could at the least make back what they spent on said marketing off the adult fans alone, I don't think its out of the question, considering how hard the Bionicle fanbase has been going to make Lego notice them as of late. Heck, the fact they are introducing a system version of CCBS in an upcoming Ninjago wave is a VERY good sign. You don't make an entirely new building system just for one wave of an established theme like Ninjago. So there is a distinct possibility that said new system was designed with a system Bionicle in mind, and that its introduction in Ninjago is a way for them to "test/trial" the system and see if it has enough potential to be the basis for a system Bionicle g3 down the line.

I honestly don't want a G3. I want a true successor that lasts for another decade.
