Don't do this, don't give me hope😢

[lehvak]

I'd love to see G3 provide a platform for Technic to branch out of sports cars and construction vehicles. I kind of miss the days of whacky 2000 Technic where there was way more variety.

[EmperorsWrath]

I would like to see Bionicle come back, as long as the writing is as good it was in the original.

I would also argue that Bionicle actually set the standard that Ninjago has lived up to.

[lordmalecith]

If this is true, I sincerely hope that Lego makes G3 much more like G1.

[maxinehowland]

I think if Bionicle does return to include system parts, then we will see a lot of new system pieces that emulate the look of old Bionicle, like the pistons and coils, and those parts will be used for greebling in multiple other sci-fi themes.

[leonrenteria]

If this is true, then in my opinion, and just my opinion alone, I think that Lego should make the Bionicle for older people so it has a higher rate of success and survivability, because the older people I think would buy them more and collect more of them instead of kids. So maybe an 18+ rate on them would maybe be the best?

[bryantaylor]

I'm 30 years old and a gen1 lover. If BIONICLE is to return, I will imbrace it with open arms.

[nihili]

The thing is... Most Bionicle fans doesn't care about Ninjago. And ninjago seems to be oriented towards smaller kids. Bionicle could be more grown up, continuous story with no constant reboots, but still easy to access for new fans, where Ninjago would still be easy, continuous story filled with redcons and soft reboots.

Seemingly the same, but for different audiences

[neetard]

CCBS was abandoned far too early imo
So much more potential could've been had, plus Hero Factory holds a special place in my heart, so I'd love to see it all make a resurgence

[GeorgeCowsert]

I think if Bionicle is to return, it needs to be firmly aligned with Technic, and maybe even provide a proper "T" CCBS.
It'd also provide better support for System than the originals, since the pieces would ideally be designed to follow the CCBS technique of "Skeleton, Armor, Addons" and thus make it more adaptive.

[fordfox]

If they could hybridize the older bionicle constraction methods and CCBS and the newer constraction methods it could be amazing

[ViperNine]

Honestly, i would love a Creator expert twist on Bionicle as a theme, but make it so that 18+ people get to buy a selected few revamped sets made to be way more complex, like in the style of the current borderline organic looking MOCs.

[A-hole_Industries]

If Bionicle does return in 2025, I hope Lego isn't afraid to get real crazy with the Lore and the Story.
One of the things I hated most about G2 was the story. It was just too simple for me. I get that Lego was trying to make it easily understandable for new fans, but still.
Another thing is that I hope the story of G3, if it happens, is easily accessible and easy to follow. Like having a Bionicle G3 Television Series that tells the entire story, like Ninja go has.

[Ground_Dirty]

I don't think I'd be able to stomach a brick generation. The entire point of Bionicle was to look bio-mechanical.

[sonlen]

My hope if LEGO did decide to bring Bionicle back they learn what I believe should be the primary lesson from the failure of G2, which is the writing. G2 and the accompanying comics LEGO released were cool in theory but I think LEGO missed the main point of why Bionicle resonated with so many of us, the writing. The figures were cool but thanks to the comics they were more than just cool action figures, they were fleshed out characters.
Perfect example of this is how Greg Farshtey wrote my man Tahu. I think the temptation for a lot of writers, especially ones writing for a product line aimed at kids, would write Tahu as either A) the badass leader guy who always does the right thing or B) the hotheaded fire-themed guy who's always getting into trouble. But Farshtey wrote a more nuanced character, a guy who is competent and a badass and you can clearly see why he's the team leader but who was also realistically flawed. More than just being hotheaded, he had legitimate anger issues that he needed to work through in order to become a more effective leader and protector of his people. That's IMO a surprisingly bold way to depict the guy who's basically the face of the franchise.

[empatheticrambo]

The Indiana Jones idol mold question is a good one to consider about a constraction system being brought back

[Shade]

I keep hearing rumors and rumblings of this happening throughout the years.
I'll believe it when I see it. I hate to be a pessimist, but I've just become tired of these rumblings popping up every so often. Not to mention, as I've stated online before, I'm at the point where I'd be fine if the series never came back. It had a good long run, and in an age where franchises are never allowed to die, I've taken comfort in the idea that it's okay to let things just end. Bionicle was very likely a lightning in a bottle moment, and even if G3 turns out to be the greatest thing since sliced bread... is the community as a whole really going to be willing to accept it?
I want to be prove wrong. If these rumors are true and G3 is spectacular, I will eat my own words. But for now at least... I'm just tired.
I'd much rather have a new, related theme, and allow it to stand on it's own.

[Pacca]

While the classic bionicle pieces aren't supported anymore, bionicle compatible ball joints that work with system are still in rotation. They could easily make a macro system style that has 'backwards compatibilty' with bionicle limbs. If they were to reboot it, I think the GWP style is most likely though, it's cheap, cute, and has already proven itself.

[un_miroir]

I'd like to imagine precious and big reinterpretations of older sets, aimed at an adult audience with a higher price tag. Those would be collectible af

[grimmurrough]

As someone who just recently rediscovered Bionicle, I clicked on this as soon as I saw it on my recommended tab and because, well, I kinda fell out and lost interest around the Metru Nui era, and honestly, my heart breaks on how much I've missed (not gonna lie, I even like the reboot toa's design as well).
So if there happen to be a new line in the works, I'm 100% interested in it, and if they can bring back either the technic pieces or old pieces, the better, my Mata Pohatu still misses some parts and I want to do some justice by him.
