For fans of the old continuity, and the new one, I present the LEGO Bionicle thread.

This was my entire childhood in a nutshell. Bionicle's great sets, story, characters, universe, were pretty much everything to me. It still has a lasting influence on me everyday. 

 

Anyhoo, this thread is for talking about one of LEGO's most universally acclaimed toy lines. Happy posting!

Just to name a few similarities.

Good comparisons, but I have to say, Makuta >> Sombra and Discord >> Rahkshi.

So, recently, LEGO has released the 2016 winter wave of sets! The Toa Nuva look super cool, Umarak is terrifying/awesome, and the Mask of Control looks just plain badass. Check them out! http://www.lego.com/en-us/bionicle

They look OK, but honestly I preferred it when the characters were much more differentiated from each other (by mask and body design). The bodies seem a liiiittle bit overdone to me this time. Still cool though. Something I never understood however - how do they explain the character design change canonically? Are these the same heroes as the first series, or is it some kind of 'parallel universe, almost-the same-but-not-quite' deal?

I'm assuming the latter, although LEGO did say that there might be a crossover between the two universes. Might being the operative word here.
