So apparently This new line of Bionicle will be following the release schedule of the original 10 toy lines, with the first set being released every January, and the second set in July. No information about the summer sets yet, except that they may possibly be remakes of the Bohrok from the 2002 line. Also, Bionicle is set to run initially for a three year trial run. If LEGO is able to sell over 5 million Bionicles in that time span, they will continue the line indefinitely. There is actually news on the summer sets. They're all "Skull" sets, which I can understand considering the heroes outweigh the villains at the moment: Not sure who found them but I remember someone saying the set numbers add up. There's only 5 sets but if you factor in the Lord of Skull Spiders it makes 6 villains against the 6 heroes. Mask Maker vs Skull grinder is probably gonna be the Ekimu Vs. Makuta set. That's a relief for me, as I thought they were just gonna use Makuta as a plot device to explain why Gen 2 Mata Nui is in a deep sleep.

I wonder if they'll be Protector sized, Lewa/Gali/Pohatu sized or Tahu/Kopaka/Onua sized? I'm getting flashbacks to Christmas '03 when I got the Takanuva Vs Makuta set. Weird.

Weird. 2003 was when I got into Bionicle. Once I saw the Mask of Light Movie I begged my mom to get me some. That was when I got all of the bohrok-kal and teh Takanuva Vs. Makuta set. Then I think some friend of my mom's had a kid that used to play with Bionicles, but not anymore, and that's how I got the Toa Mata and Toa Nuva figures. I got the 2004-2006 sets as they came out then. I'm really hoping TT Games (The makers of all the lego games) make a sequel to thier Bionicle Heroes game. That was the first ever game I got 100% completion in.

They could do a whole lot with Okoto if Bionicle gets popular enough to warrant another major video game.

Welp, here he is, the godly Kopaka in all his glory...on top of my dresser...But in a cool pose nonetheless. Sorry for the shaky image here, but here's a height comparison of him to 2004 Matau. Kopaka's about a head higher. And finally here's the Protector Turaga of Ice. Height wise he's about the same as the 2001 Toa. Here's him compared to Onua. And finally here's Kopaka compared to Tahu Nuva. He's still a head higher like Matau. EDIT: NOW I'M A TIME WASTER! Yay...?

THE EAGLE HAS LANDED. I REPEAT, THE EAGLE HAS LANDED.
My, uh, my post arrived. Been a long time since I opened a new Bionicle. Think my last one was Stars 'Piraka' or Takanuva.

Funny how I was able to remember the exact cover art for Hordika Vakama after all these years.

Skull Grinder seems more and more like Makuta. I'd be happy if Lego was able to recreate his Krahken Kanohi for the original fans, or at least make a slightly altered version.

YES MATE. Taking this photo also alerted me to a potential damp problem in my room. I need to get my fucking window fixed.

Just saw on the weather that there's a possibility of massive snow tomorrow. I jokingly prayed to my Kopaka figure to make it snow tonight. About an hour and a half later I get a call from my school that it's canceled tomorrow. My Kopaka is magic.

Bionicle should be a religion. Pray to the six gods.
