Hello everyone! Brikkyy13 here, bringing you a very special BIONICLE 2015 Review! Firstly, thank you to The LEGO Group for kindly supplying this set to Brickipedia and to ToaMeiko for sending it out to me. Secondly, it's so good to finally have a new BIONICLE set. Now, on to the review!
The Box
As usual with BIONICLE sets, the packaging is amazing and differs from regular LEGO sets. This time around, it's a hexagonal shaped box.
Some people have been complaining that the cardboard used is a little flimsy, and that is true to an extent, it is a bit weak. The cardboard is the same type used for the new Speedorz sets, so make of that what you will.
The Build
Included in the box is one bag of parts and the instruction manual. Inside the cover of the manual is a comic strip
Sorry for the angle, but it is available online here. The set includes a few new (and awesome!) pieces.
These pieces are:
- The Protector Mask of Ice
- Skull Spider Mask/body
- New head piece
- New eyestalk piece
- A Technic spacer
- New clip-on armour
- The new 6-stud shooter
Of all of these pieces the new shooter is the most exciting. The shooter is made up of 2 parts, the main grey gun and a yellow tube (that is virtually impossible to get out) that allows the shooter to work. Speaking of working, the gun works really well. If you're not careful, you will loose studs. The whole shooting mechanism is simple, and is much like the minifigure stud shooter that we got last year; The stud rests in a regular sized tube, then when the yellow thingy is turned a ridge pops off a stud and sends it flying.
