Is Bionicle G3 Happening in 2025? New LEGO Set Rumors 

Don't do this, don't give me hope😢

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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?

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.

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

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

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.

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

As unlikely as it may seem, I REALLY wish that Bionicle G3 would not only carry out both G1 and G2 concepts, but also branch out into universes that would link the CCBS franchises together such as Hero Factory, Slizers, Roboriders and possibly give their designs more unity with each other, kinda like how Transformers Legacy did. Like, Takanuva had travelled to different universe before, so what if one of those universe he ended up in also happened to be either Planet Quazar or Makuhero City?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

As unlikely as I think it is, I'd definitely love to see a "reboot" of constraction in some way. I've been going back and getting into the old Slizer sets and it's just reminded me how much untapped potential there is in the Slizer/Robo Riders/G1 Bionicle style of Technic-focused action figure building. Like at this point I'd take ANYTHING even somewhat resembling that old style again, whether it's Bionicle or something entirely new. Bionicle's absence stings worse when there's not even something around to take its place, aside from system-built mech sets.

I think this is unlikely if they do decide to bring back Bionicle in any meaningful way, but I'd want them to go with a system that's focused heavily around technic, like the G1 Rahi from 2001, with maybe some system usage here and there when it helps visually.

Personally as someone with no connection to the bionicle brand, I will only buy the sets if they include standard ball and socket constraction parts. I have no desire for bionicle Mixels or bionicle marvel mechs.

I'll be honest, this is part of the reason Bionicle fans are often memed on and stereotyped by those outside of our community as nostalgia-blind, gullible, and unable to let go of Bionicle. Of course, I wouldn't complain if Bionicle were to return; but, considering its last real outing, I think it's safe for me to assume that it returning as anything other than singular products here or there is just wishful thinking.

I still don't really believe it to be legit, though the debunks I have seen are not as solid as I initially thought, mostly because they debunk another leak, which also ended with "Bionicle 2025", but it was apparently not the original one by Exabricks. That being said the current Ninjago reboot would have the chance to change Ninjago to such a degree that it could technically coexist with Bionicle if done right. Aside from that we have the recent SCCBS introduction, the rising prices of old Bionicle sets, and Bionicle coming closer to the magic 25 year nostalgia mark to consider. What speaks against it: Still, there is no undeniable evidence for Lego to see that Bionicle might actually sell well aside from the GWP and now and then Twitter polls. Doing Bionicle right takes effort, so why investing it in something old if you can just as well do something new with it that goes with recent trends? Concerns for when it should happen: Lego does stories differently now. It would really be a surprise if Bionicle would plunge again into its edgy phase, though Bionicle leaning more towards a teenager audience could help to differenciate itself from Ninjago. The designers behind the GWP also said that probably only the first three to five years really have nostalgic value. To me the first three years have the strongest atmosphere, but the weakest plot. As someone who was introduced to Bionicle at late Ignition stage this concerns me at least a bit. Then there is pricing. Brick based Bionicle are more expensive than even CCBS Bionicle. Don't know wether that would make for a good start into a collector's theme.

As far as story goes, I'd LOVE for this third generation of Bionicle to have a bit of a multiverse-thing going on that addresses the events of generation one with the three sets of Toa chasing after the Mask of Life and generation two's story with the Mask of Creation being a big thing, but for it to be somewhat separate from these stories and be its own thing. For parts and pieces, I really hope that we see a return to Hero Factory and Bionicle 2015. Either way, I'm certain it'll be dope!

Some combination between SCCBS and Technic i think would be the best way they could do it. You can get all the gimmicks that are possible through technic with the easy compatibility of system. I wouldn't be surprised of the Marvel constraction figures were just a test vehicle to see if the constraction sets still had any interest at all.

Personally, I'd rather move on to a new compelling world and characters with a new building system, much like bionicle and slizer were presented back in the day. I am totally open to adult scale vignettes and homages to bionicle. I do wonder if they did do a G3, what practices of bionicle they would revisit or improve. One example is mask collecting. Would lego tap into that market and remake old molds or create new masks as promotional material again? Bionicle collectibles are a very big hook for old fans

If they do the Marvel System build system, they'll need to really improve the way the joints work. The shoulders really pose poorly and the legs have limited hip rotation compared to other possibilities

I don't like the excessive bulk of the new SCCBS builds and their lack of potential for being used for other things. Bionicle was great because, starting with Metru and Inika, the builds added complexity with new pieces that had great potential for making something other than the character it came with, with colors that were pretty neutral and mixable (especially Metru's amazing dark color palette). This new system *forces you to add bulk* to change its uses, i.e. adding brackets and ball joints to the piece takes up space just for the ability to add more complexity instead of having that complexity in the first place. We need a new system that adds complexity by *Type of connector + Axis of connector.* The new SCCBS limb piece sucks because it only has 1 axis of connection. Many of the Metru and Inika pieces had 2 or more axis, and the strength of those pieces was in how they mixed different types of connectors. *Pins + Axles + Ball joints (NOT MIXEL JOINTS), mixed on 2+ axis. Those combinations are the heart of Bionicle.*

Personally I don't believe it but if it was to return it would probably be similar to the GWP but with new molds like the masks or like those new spider man figures. Heck them might do both "titan" sized ones use a similar ones to spider man ones and the "canister sets" would be similar to the GWP style. But one thing I would really like is have some og parts. I personally think ninjago although a small part helped cause g2 to fail

the kanohi ignika's last words were "I will return".

It would be really nice to see new Bionicle sets...It is the set that literally saved LEGO back in the early 2000s....We all want it back and made to look like G1 but with a modern touch and new part molds!

If G3 comes, I hope it comes with comic books like G1 did. I loved reading them and playing my own adventures with the sets.

If there is going to be a bionicle G3, I do think that if it went into the direction of continuing from where Bionicle G1 left off, with a somewhat re-written ending of G1 So it fixed it for how rushed it was by showing that as exposition in G3. Furthermore, a story for this would take place years after to the point that we would see familiar characters such as the Toa Inika/Mari as Turaga, in addition to kopaka being a Turaga due to (SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!) Matoro meeting his destiny including Takanuva as a turaga as well . Especially with Kopaka probably being probably the last of the turaga from the other toa mata/nuva/phantoka/mistika that would have later become turaga and pass away too maybe. From how the G1 story ended it would be interesting to see how G3 continue as a soft reboot, similar to transformers beast wars minus the time travel stuff. The only Problem that I can think of with this idea is whether Makuta should be a primary antagonist or just be part of a failed resurrection. But it would be more interesting to see the Great beings being an antagonizing force of some kind. Otherwise, I'm not sure, what do ya'll think?

Bionicle music still goes hard. I garauntee bringing back Bionicle would be a huge profit, since nostalgia and novelty will be both present for old and newer fans. And if animations, media, music etc still have same quality as in the past, man are we in for a wild ride.

They definitely don’t still have the old molds, and I think Lego said they wanted to completely discontinue CCBS, so if they make new sets they’d either be system, SCCBS, or a new system. But all I know is I’d buy any new Bionicle set regardless of what they end up being

Imagine bringing back all the classic characters updated with the CCBSystem. Not a complete reboot of the story but just an overhaul of the figure designs. Imagine Toa Inika, Toa Mahri, Piraka, and Barraki with all these updated designs. Call it the “Bionicle Legends” line

Honestly? If it comes to bionicle, i'm counting on Faber to continue. He has been there from the begining and if somebody has to continue the feel, story and all that, it's him.

Bionicle is a Tale that shall be retold for generations to come… And I’m looking forwards to telling it again.

I pray that they will reshelf some of the original stuff during the G3 run if they give that to us. Or maybe they could give us updated versions of the originals, like they like to do with so many regular sets.

My favorite Bionicle pieces were those from Hero Factory. I can understand why some would be displeased with the fact they don’t integrate well with the system pieces, but they were still just so easy and satisfying to use

I think if they want to bring back Bionicle, if they did do it in the normal system lego then it wouldn't really *feel* like bionicle. Bionicle pioneered the bionicle system, and even when CCBS was established people initially just called it the new bionicle system. That style of system, with ball joints and connections, that's what Bioncile is. I'd love to see a return to CCBS, with some more technic integration. The system was so good for posability, customization, and gave you really solid looking creations. Also, like said in the video, using a different system like CCBS would help keep the lines distinct on a fundemental level. I could also see them doing something smaller scaled, targeted at the older audiences. At least initially.

Tbh if G3 does come, it should mix the familiar G1 story with a twist. Either as a new story with a G1 vibe/easter egg hints or the G1 story but with alternative directions to be different from the original. After all, this would be the perfect final story to bionicle (although it would be great to keep going longer than expected) since that would be 3 generations. You know what else there is 3 of? The Bionicle Virtues : G2 = Unity G1 = Duty G3 = Destiny. What I'm suggesting is crazy but, after G3 has had it's story, to blow the minds of everyone, to reveal that if it's successful that all bionicle generations are alternative timelines/worlds that are all connected. Allowing the finalé to be one of the most epic battles ever. Heroes from G1, 2 and 3 uniting together to fight against evil for the final few waves. A pipedream sure but it would be perfect to see all 3 Tahu's from each generations battle side by side.

My prediction is that the toa will look like the tahu GWP and they would cost around 12$, we will also have matoran in mystery boxes for around 5$, we will also have titan sets, similar to those marvel action figures for around 30$, and we would also see some normal LEGO sets with villages or rahi

maybe we would be able to see technic constraction? it's always a battle between constraction-bound pieces and system pieces and trying to link them together, but what if technic entered the scene? it's famous for moving parts, cool systems and all three ccbs, regular system pieces, and the old g1 bionicle pieces, all incorporate the pins, axels and holes from technic so maybe it would be technic that could lend the compatibility between system and constraction pieces, and would also make for interesting action figure builds it also has the mechanical aesthetic that bionicle is known to have, from pistons and springs to gears and other bits of detail, technic would not only make for cool constraction figures but cool bionicles too

As long as there's Constraction, I'M ALL ABOUT THAT ACTION but in all seriousness please let it be the og ccbs pieces that originated from HF or the OG Bionicle pieces/styles of building. i'm not a fan of the brick built stuff personally. i like the unique action figure style parts. if there were to be a G3, I'd just want it to be like the first 2, but with stronger pieces and more unique pieces.

I need the og soundtrack in the trailer for the release, Crashed better be playing while they showcase the characters.

I grew up with g1 and never got into g2 so i kinda hope they look more like the og Bionicle. Its a very unique look that made it so special and i think that is what made it so popular along with its story

One example of the possibility that they could still have the molds is the woody legs that was brought back in the avatar sets and is going to be used for dr eggman in the upcoming sonic sets. I can totally see it being a adult builders set or theme since even young fans of G2 are adults now. But I guess we have to see if anything happens in 2025.

If this is actually happening, I'm clearing those shelves. I NEED Bionicle in my life again.

I do sincerely hope that we get new Bionicle stuff that's kind of a reboot of the franchise. Using the G1 story as a base, as that is hands down my favorite Bionicle story, and either telling something new with the framework or taking the basic start and going in a different direction. Using something more akin to the build system of G1 as well, which allowed for the more visually distinct and pose-able nature of Bionicle in the first place. Go back to basics, make something that's kind of like the original while spicing it up a bit, and moving forward from there raking in those sweet, sweet nostalgia dollars (as that _is_ why Lego would do this in the first place, if at all). I especially hope we get to see the Piraka and the Visorak again, as those were hands-down my favorite arcs of the G1 story. I just don't want to see something that ends up looking like that limited-edition Tahu. Yes, using the system bricks would make all of the people who want to be able to mix Bionicle and classic Lego stuff happy, but you would lose so much of the charm and the distinct, more mechanical look that Bionicle has always had. And if they do use a building system that allows for more compatibility with standard bricks, I hope they don't sacrifice that pose-ability that allowed for the action poses that, let's face it, we _all_ put our Bionicles into as kids, with the ball joints for necks, shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, and ankles. Yeah, I know that at the end of the day I'm probably hoping for an absolute pipe dream, but at this point it's my only hope of ever getting to own Bionicle sets again without paying out the nose on the resale market.

Nothing could overshadow the Ninjago fan base same with bionicle so I feel like they would be able to live somewhat in harmony

You got me hyped up

Bring back og Bionicle, the lore behind every set and the inspiration behind them is what made Bionicle lightning in a bottle.

If this is real I hope it uses a lot of technic as the basis of the models like Bionicle originally had

I would like to hope for a return to the Technic-CCBS hybridization that 2016 introduced. I think the main issue with the 2015 and 2016 sets is that there were far too many Shelfwarmers and budget inequalities. Some figures obviously got a lot more love and care than others, like 2015 Tahu and 2016 Kopaka, while others like Skull Skorpio and Magma Beast look unfinished in comparison. maybe sticking to a unified Pricepoint (ie: all Toa are $15, rather than having two at $25) would help balance the budget between sets?

The nostalgia may make Lego tons of money

a system that hopefully has things to facilitate articulation on par with higher end action figures at an affordable cost more similar to bandai's gunpla with much more inter-compatible parts would do well.

This video brought back good times. But damn that bionicle on the thumbnail is sick.

I would prefer to see bionicle come back in another piece of media, like an animated series, or even a movie franchise.

I think that they'll bring back the old models... because Bionical saved the lego company and is one of the main reasons why Lego is still around. So you would think that they would keep some relics from their major past successes

Yeah bionicle is cool but I would personally like a hero factory revival

5:26 that was exactly mid bionicle. the theme was realesed in 2001, retired in 2010, and the "inika build" came out with the inika sets in 2006

Man I sure hope they don't hold back on the lore like they did in G2

The problem is, lego seem to think Bionicle is just a set of names, when the undying nature of the brand has a lot more to do with a specific kind of storytelling and atmospheric marketing.

My personal hope for G3 is actually that it picks up where G2 left off with the Mask of Time plotline, and canonises the implication that the Mask of Time in both settings are two halves of the same thing, maybe even directly connecting the settings to let both of them get an actual continuation. It's not likely, and pure cope on my end, but I really like the idea, and I can always dream, right?

Yk what would be the best idea for G3 Bionicle return? Going back to finish of G1's story and continuing off of that. The events on Spherus Magna, Velika, Marendar, the Toa Nuva and Tahu Mata, the remaining 5 Toa Mahri and other characters that were there. Maybe add in new characters like Glatorians and Agori and just continuing the story and fully end it off. I believe it ended unfinished with the red star story with Kopaka and Pohatu meeting Mavrah. Lego should recreate old school type Bionicle technic pieces but stronger like CCBS with more better designs. I think a continuation from G1's story would be amazing instead of making another fake remake like G2. G2 toa have masks of powers based on their elements, fire, water, Jungle???? and so on. I missed the g1 masks, some were op in the story and looked good as official set pieces. But honestly, I'd like to see if people would agree with me on this and if this would bring old fans back and make Bionicle what it once was, a legendary Lego line.

My guess will be more like the reboot they did in 2015, I only really miss the G1 stuff so i'm not expecting anything really. I would not be entirely against SCCBS, that mech @3:08 looked sick honestly.

I always hope that they bring bionicle back and maybe even modernize some of their old sets like my personal favourite ones the visorak

There was once a dream that was Bionicle G3. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish... it was so fragile. For real though it would be cool but it's all speculation.

well the GWP Tahu actually used some of those parts that ninjago used as well don't forget.

YEEES! I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS

I would love it if Lego just remade all the original molds and just re-released all the Bionicle sets from 2001 to 2010. Starting with the Toa Mata and going on from there like they did way back when. They could even add some new things like a build your own matoran. Regardless of how Lego brings back Bioncle, the one thing that they would have to keep intact is the mask collecting, the whole idea of collecting masks being a thing that is actually being done by characters in Bioncle and something that you can do irl is just so cool.

I still would want to see Bionicle sets on the store shelves again.

The ainart seems cool, looks like a combo of fantasy armor and the original bayverse transformers, like the first movies Optimus and bee designs

i hope any bionicle reboot goes back to being a technic subtheme. going back to old bionicle and hero factory toys, i find myself more drawn to the oldest toys with lots of play features than poseability and being a technic subtheme, that would likely be a priority. it seems very unlikely with how prevalent the marvel buildable figures are tho.

I can’t wait!

Great video! I'm definitely not getting my hopes up for this rumor despite how exciting it sounds. And you made a lot of great points. If Bionicle were to come back it's really hard to say how they'd do it. And does it even have a place in the modern spread of Lego themes? Either way, fun to speculate!

Probably an Updated Sccbs that can also implement Technic and thus CCBS. That said newer technologies could allow perfect recreation of old molds relatively on the cheap. They could also keep bionicle around specifically to cycle out ninjago

Honestly as a g1 bionicle fan i would love to see a system style bionicle series just like the marvel larger character sets

Ninjago is a reimagination of Bioncile in some way, that is also why they are so similar.

I just want a brick built Bionicle tabletop RPG where the party play as Matoran and there are NPCs like rahi, toa, bohrok, rahkshi, and makuta as well as other matorannand turaga. Give the story character NPCs written dialogue and story campaigns based around them, and sell them separately with mata nui island expansion packs so players can build and choose their own adventure.

Honestly, I'd rather either Bionicle to keep it's G1 history and not return, or at least come back to finish the missing ending to the story in some way. Heck, I'll be interested if the reboot was much more fleshed out than it's G2 variation did. G2 wasn't bad and I still have the wave 1 sets, but the story felt like it was too undeveloped to really kick off as hard as G1 did. Cheers for the video, and "all aboard the hype train" if the leak turns out to be true!

It would be pretty cool if they made a collectible minfigure line of them

I would like a total overhaul that makes the building and posing better

Lego is a billion dollar company and I imagine they could easily make the bionicle theme return with a more modern design while keeping the original feel.

honestly when i saw all these new forms of creating construction sets i thought could this be the way to bring it back? and what if rhey did a hit of it all in one set or all different kinds for different sets and titans?

For the story i would like a retelling of G1 but with some changes to fix the issues with the original.

mechs getting popular reminds me of Lego Exoforce. Maybe they could bring that back. Would be cool to see.

I'd enjoy playing around with the toa again... The memories. The bioformers xD

Where are the thumbnail and opening images from? Those are really cool

I think the change of building style is ok. But we gotta get that og style like we did with the recent Bionicle Tahu set.

Bionicle and ninjago do occupy a similar niche. If this leak is true and they're making system Bionicle, maybe they're also canceling ninjago? I can't imagine why they would do that, but I dont think anyone saw bionicles cancelation coming either.

I would hope its a ccbs system with the introduction of Bionicle like elements.

Can you imagine something like the old bionicle system sets. New minifigs of those yould be great. There can also be bigger figures too. I miss HF IFB. Great constraction minifigs.

The ia art are sick !

I will not let my self get any hope for a future Bionicle set that is good.

Lets hope they go back to those Ambience Commercials again its what made em stand out for awhile
