This has been a developing story for a while, but today all the lego 2015 sets were leaked, including bionicle. There were a lot of other leaked photos, but these are the ones that really matter.

Anyways I'm feeling kinda mixed on the new sets. They look decent but way too simple and streamlined despite the piece count being around the same as the old sets (~80). I feel like its more Hero Factory: Bionicle edition! Than Bionicle with hero factory elements. Either way, I'm glad its back. It was a huge part of my childhood. I'm really liking Kopaka and Tahu. What do y'all think?

This.

Bionicles and Legos in general were my pride and joy during childhood.

It's depressing to see them come back as this...  

Same amount of pieces, but now they're smaller.
Looks very simple.

Happiest execution ever

Lego execution.  

rep if you are a 90ies kid and remember the bionicles  

I remember when Bionicle was leagues better than this.

When kids had to actually use their brains to construct them.

When the sets actually did stuff.

GG Lego.

Im not gonna rep people who ask for a rep.  

It was just officially announced yesterday.

That mask is the mask of creation, which was mentioned a lot in the old bionicle lore. I'm guessing this might be a continuation of the story? That would be pretty cool.

Honestly after looking at the sets more I'm starting to warm up to the designs. Kopaka looks super awesome, I'm at least going to get him.

Bionicle came out in 2001, bro. It would have to come out in 1991 for it to be a 90's kid thing.

In my opinion, Onua looks BADASS.  

Okay, seriously?
You guys give the Mata so much credit...
They have awful articulation, and one swinging gimmick.

It's a reboot. New parts? A GEARBOX? This is awesome. Not a bad thing at all.

I prefer this more then 2006-2009. Other then the Titan Sets and SOME villains (Baraki), they all used the boring ass Piraka/Inika build Which plauged us with boring cookie cutter sets.

This, is awesome.
My only complaint is the masks and how they attach.
But, I'd rather have the old "hit da masks off" game with a sturdier connection compared to the...evil stud sized hole on the 2001-03 masks. Egh...
