Bionicle is back!

New year, new Bionicle.

The new year is with us, and LEGO has taken the opportunity to resurrect its super cool Bionicle range.

Just like the Marvel Superheroes sets, Bionicle is all about the big characters.

Taking their inspiration from the elements, and other natural shapes and forms such as ‘Stone’ and ‘Jungle’, these characters look a bit like the Transformers in robot form, which is no bad thing.

Big robots are always a winner, whether they’re meant to be robots or not.

It’s nice to have them back.
