A LEGO phenomena has occurred that is even more rare than finding a LEGO Mr. Gold minifigure in a random blind bag: LEGO made a major announcement regarding upcoming LEGO 2015 sets and my wife is more excited than I am. This is truly an event for the history books! One of the most-beloved LEGO themes of the modern era is returning in 2015, and it just so happens to be my wife’s favorite LEGO theme ever: the LEGO Bionicle 2015 sets list has now been revealed!
Bionicle is one of the best-loved LEGO themes of the past two decades because of the unorthodox approach (at least at the time) LEGO took with the theme, including Bionicle video games and animated Bionicle movies. I think the fact that my wife–who otherwise won’t give 99% of my LEGO sets a second glance–turns out to have a whole box of vintage LEGO Bionicle toys in her college storage boxes is a pretty big testament to how successful LEGO was with their marketing of Bionicle.
As part of the LEGO Winter 2015 sets assortment, in January 2014 LEGO Bionicle sets will return to storesĀ for the first time since the Bionicle LEGO theme was discontinued back in 2009!
The 2015 LEGO Bionicle sets are as follows:
- Protector of Jungle 70778
- Protector of Stone 70779
- Protector of Water 70780
- Protector of Earth 70781
- Protector of Ice 70782
- Protector of Fire 70783
- Lewa Master of Jungle 70784
- Pohatu Master of Stone 70785
- Gali Master of Water 70786
- Tahu Master of Fire 70787
- Kopaka Master of Ice 70788
- Onua Master of Earth 70789
- Skull Krata 70780
LEGO has not approved any LEGO 2015 Bionicle set images for sharing yet, but I’ll post an update here and to the Bricks and Bloks Facebook Page once photos are available. The Winter 2015 LEGO Bionicle sets are scheduled to be released in January 2015.
Are you psyched about the return of the LEGO Bionicle sets in 2015, LEGO collectors? If so, did you collect Bionicle sets back in the day, or is it a theme you always wished you’d gotten into (and now you’ll have the chance!)?
I got into it around the Nuva point in the story, and I got some sets from before then later. I loved that story, and I’m very glad to see it returning. I collected sets from that theme almost exclusively, while it was running. I probably won’t do that this time, because I’m hooked on a few other themes, like Super Heroes. I hope that I can get the new comics, if there are any, easily, and that they don’t age-restrict the magazine like they were talking about I also hope the new Mask of Creation is the same Mask of Creation mentioned in the original story, and that it becomes available somehow, so I can complete my legendary masks collection.
i thought lego was crazy to get rid of bionicle so i sent letters.i believe i sent about 637 letters a day.so no need to thank me!!!!
