Description

A setting rather than a figure

While most Bionicle sets produce a single poseable figure, this one counts as a playset. It supplies an environment for your figures to appear in: a gate that fits the story of the Visorak, the spider-like creatures from the Bionicle storyline. With 335 pieces in 96 different types, the set holds a considerable variety of parts that invites experimenting. If you like staging your own scenes, this delivers a ready-made stage set for them to play out on.

Cool greys with a blue accent

Dark bluish grey, black, light bluish grey and blue are the main colours. The mix looks cold and stony, which suits a gate meant to keep intruders out. The blue adds a clear contrast and draws the eye to certain elements. The parts list shows how the colours are spread and which shapes turn up most often, which helps when planning your own modifications and saves time when you are hunting for particular special elements.

For play and display

A gate is a place where things happen: figures want to get through, get stopped or attack. That makes the set a good fit for children who tell stories and for collectors who want to show their Bionicle figures in a fitting setting. It makes most sense as an addition to an existing collection, because the figures are missing and the gate only really comes alive with them. You can expand it, build it higher or arrange it in a completely different way.

Reusing the parts

The “What can I build?” tool lets you check which other sets are possible with your stock plus this gate. The parts list on this page helps you find individual elements such as joints or armour pieces that you want to use in creatures of your own. The many greys in particular suit castles, fortresses and vehicles, which makes the set a handy source of parts even if you are not a Bionicle fan.
