Description

Bionicle to design yourself

Bionicle was a range of figures built from movable joints, ball sockets and armour parts that could be combined freely. The Master Builder Set takes that idea and hands you a collection of 111 pieces for creatures of your own. There is no fixed story or character at its centre, only experimenting. That is what appeals to tinkerers who prefer to decide how their creation ends up looking instead of following a set of instructions.

Black, grey and a dash of orange

Black, dark grey, light grey and orange are the main colours in the box. The dark tones look technical and cool, while the orange adds bold accents on arms, legs or weapons. This selection produces figures that look serious and sturdy without being dull. If you own other Bionicle sets, these parts mix well with them, because the colours appear often across the range and rarely clash with each other.

No minifigures, plenty of freedom

There are no minifigures in this box, so all 111 pieces go towards building creatures and mechs. With 44 different part types the mix is fairly varied for the size, so it is not simply repeats of one element. For children of primary-school age it makes a good testing ground, and for adults it recalls the early 2000s. There is no wrong answer when building, as long as the joints hold and the figure stays upright.

Parts list and ideas

The parts list on this page shows each element individually, which helps a great deal when you check a second-hand set. With Bionicle in particular, some joints and connectors are hard to replace, so a careful look pays off. The “What can I build?” tool tells you which other models you can make by combining your existing bricks with these parts. In that way a small 2002 set becomes a useful addition to your collection, even without a fixed building plan.
