BIONICLE 2015 Summer Sets Confirmed

legolondontoyfair

Brickset has just reported on the LEGO sets at the London Toy Fair, and have confirmed the rumored 2015 Summer BIONICLE sets. The sets are listed below with prices in pounds.

  • 70791 Skull Warrior (£13)
  • 70792 Skull Slicer (£13)
  • 70793 Skull Basher (£13)
  • 70794 Skull Scorpio (£13)
  • 70795 Mask Maker vs. Skull Grinder (£25)

While pictures at this event are prohibited, Brickset has provied the following description of the sets they saw.

As you’d expect from the names they are all bad guys. They looked skeletal and ‘dark’. Although they were each a different ‘feature colour’ there wasn’t much of it used. They feature a lot of new panel pieces that are hard to describe but look like torn cloth or something like that. I suspect those on display were prototype parts because they looked to be spray painted a matt dark grey with speckles in it which might not be the final finish. All are the same size as the Toas.

BIONICLE Episode 4 – The Protectors Fight Back

The 4th installment of the new BIONICLE online animations is now available on LEGO’s website. Here is the official synopsis.

Journeying through Okoto’s most hostile regions, the heroes and Protectors battle onwards to reach the shrines of the golden masks.

Interestingly, it is not yet available on the BIONICLE website, although I expect it will likely be available there soon. As always, they have been added to the archive in both their streaming TS and FLV formats.

CGI Trailer with Character Animations

A 30 second CGI trailer of what looks like a BIONICLE TV commercial without narration has been making the rounds on the internet. It’s not yet clear what the origins of this video are, but what appears to be the original upload also features the character animations without narration. The quality is much lower than the character animations on the LEGO website, but it is unique and has been added to the archive.

With any luck, a higher quality version of these videos will appear in the coming weeks!

Today LEGO has released not one, not two, but three new 1:30 animated episodes on the BIONICLE website! But wait, there’s more! They also release six 0:30 character animations for the Toa, absolutely free!

All joking aside, these episodes offer some tantalizing clues into the future of BIONICLE 2015, such as the ever-present Vahi and a closer look at the Temple of Time.

All 3 episodes and all 6 character animations have also been archived by the BMP team.
