バイオニクル 810NICLEDay 810NICLE legobionicle biovival
A LEGO toyline of constraction figures that ran from 2000 to 2010. The series features many science fiction elements as well as influence from Maori aesthetics and language, and is notable for having incredibly expansive lore and an ongoing story throughout the line's lifetime. The lore was spread across a variety of mediums, including books, comics, video games, flash games, podcasts, and 4 feature-length films.
LEGO rebooted the line in 2015, with a new continuity and completely different art style. The reboot featured several books, graphic novels, animated web shorts, and an animated series on Netflix, before being discontinued in 2016.
Despite the line being in a dormant state and having no new official content releases or reprints of previous sets, the series has retained a large fanbase that consistently creates new content.
