LEGO Bionicles Toys

Lego Bionicle Toys - The Exciting Fantasy Range

Lego Bionicle has been a smash hit since its introduction in 1999, and represents the first time that Lego have created a series based on a storyline of their own creation. The Bionicle sets are based in a world inhabited mostly by biomechanical creatures, who wage war on the island of Mata Nui, and allows children to fight with the Toa Mata as they protect the Matoran from the villainous Teridax. The Lego Bionicle series is perfect for young boys, and the Toy Industry Association named it Best Boy Toy of the Year and Most Innovative Toy in 2001.

The designs for the Lego Bionicle models is a fusion of traditional Lego designs and more complicated sets such as Lego Technic. As with most Lego series the models vary in size and difficulty so that you can find something that perfectly fits you or your child's level of interest or ability. Many of the models feature gears and movable parts, and you can even combine them with Technic pieces such as motors to create advanced custom models.

Mata Nui is a tropical island from ancient times, and it is living in fear of the evil spirit Makuta. Six brave warriors know as the Toa must protect the island and its inhabitants from this malevolent force. The Toa must locate their masks of power to destroy the Makuta, and the evil Bohrok swarms that come after them. Even the villagers of the island must arm themselves and join in the battle. The Lego Bionicle world forms a stimulating storyline for children to take part in, and there are regular new releases that will sustain interest and add new twists to the story. There are even several film and computer game tie-ins that will allow kids to get even more involved in the story.

Some of the most popular sets include the Toa Lhikan and Kikanalo Set, in which Toa Lihikan rides on one of the great beasts of Mata Nui, the Muaka and Kane-Ra featuring snapping jaws and adjustable claws, and the Bionicle Jetrax T6 which features retractable turbines, ball-firing jet blasters, and a cockpit which can seat Lego Bionicle figures.

All of the Lego Bionicle toys and models are great fun to build, sturdy to play with, and feature a battle-against-evil storyline that will keep children and teenagers entertained and stimulated for a long time. They are a great idea for Christmas gifts this year!
