The Return of BIONICLE...
As announced HERE, LEGO revealed that their long popular series of construction action figures - BIONICLE - would be making a return after a 4 year hiatus in 2015. New York Comic Con unveiled the rebooted line in a grand fashion, the series set for a January 1, 2015 launch.
“We are thrilled to announce the relaunch of the LEGO BIONICLE franchise, which was one of our most popular LEGO franchises and our first ‘constraction’ or constructible action figure line,” said Michael McNally, Senior Director of Brand Relations, The LEGO Group. “We are eager to introduce and immerse a new generation of children in this rich character-driven world and can’t wait for fans of all ages to interact with the new story.”
Can the Toa Save Okoto From the Latest Threat?
The new Bionicle storyline takes place on the mythical island of Okoto, where the forces of darkness are on the move and the evil Makuta is once again materializing. He is overcome by the desire for the three mythic masks that will cast the world into darkness - the Mask of Creation, the Mask of Control and the Mask of Ultimate Power.
The desperate island inhabitants enlist six heroes - each masters of a sacred element - called the Toa- to help save their beloved island. The Toa must embark on a quest for Okoto’s ancient power masks that will allow them to unlock the full potential of their elemental powers. Only when the heroes are united, will they be able to battle the forces of evil, defeat Makuta and save Okoto.
To help fans bring the exciting story to life, LEGO will offer a variety of exciting new LEGO BIONICLE sets from each of the different factions, ranging in price from $9.99 - $19.99 each:
