Groovebricks uploaded an image of what I assume is a placeholder for what a large store display of next year's return with Bionicle may look like. Some would say this return of the original theme translates as a lack of sales in Hero Factory whereas I would say Lego is making a smart move as a company by mixing things up to maintain and reignite sales. Hero Factory is good but has become predictably constant so even though Bionicle is roughly the same idea, it is different enough at least through the intriguing storyline. Anyway, I can vaguely recognize classic Toa Tahu and Kopaka so far.

Ah yeah, it's my main man here! He will freeze yo ass and kick it all over the island.

Nice pictures!  Those masks are very cool.  But back on my soapbox...  Does anyone else wish TLG would have used classic Bionicle elements, or do you like the greater compatibility with HF at the expense of traditional Bionicle values?

I wanted Lego to use a combination of the classic Bionicle elements along with the newer HF elements. It would have made the sets better IMO.

A new episode (Lord of Skull Spiders) for the online animated series has been added to LEGO's YouTube channel. You can watch it along with all seven other parts here in this topic.
