One of the highest skill MOCs I have ever seen! Bionicle MOCists truly are a different breed. Amazing!

Man I wish Lego would reboot Bionicle and restore it to the golden days, with stuff like this. Fantastic blend of traditional Lego and Bionicle!

[Nailfut]

This is the best Bionicle-themed brick-based diorama I've ever seen, the stuff I've always dreamt of. Excellent job.

Okay My Favorite part of this build is Mata Nui's hand sticking out from the seabed underneath the lilly pad.

Stupendous representation of my favourite LEGO theme. I do wish we saw more creations like this, though of course they're extremely time and space consuming.

That Tohunga head sculpture is GORGEOUS! Awesome display 👏

[bagelman]

Always a pleasure to have Bionicle featured in a vid

[Tenebrais]

I recognise so many of these little guys from the MNOLG. Great attention to detail.

Finally someone who goes ahead to make a sick bionicle diorama with lego

[lucapietrangeli]

Such an incredible piece. Really impressed with this one

[PaulH]

I know nothing about Bionicle, but this build is very impressive. It's interesting to see a large, complex Lego build with figures larger than minifigure size.

I absolutely love the world building in early Bionicle and have dreamed of seeing MOCs that represent it as well as this! So wonderful!

[Keviinn]

Oh man i miss bionicle 😩 for me on of the best lego series out there 🙌🏽

[IBURION]

Really beautiful MOC... I love especially Lightstone cave

[Lordgeorge]

Absolutely stunning. This makes me want to boot up MNOG and start playing it all over again.

[SuperSecretBricks]

Amazing to see a Mata Nui diorama at this scale

[henryherold]

Those hybrid Technic/System matoran builds are amazing.

[C_harlie_J]

never be sorry for making mistakes, WHAT AN AWESOME MOC!!

[PixelaGames]

Man, I want bionicle back. I never got to experience it growing up, and now i wanna experience it in its entirety. Bionicle never got a TV series, I really want a TV series. Most of the story is in books and comics. There’s some movies, and some games. But, aside from that, not much visual media sadly.

I just saw this masterpiece at BrickFair VA!
