Hi, We KNOW that this is different from the original. But this is not a reboot - It's a tribute. And we're forever happy and grateful that LEGO recognize Bionicles existence.
We made a follow-up video to this one, about just that - Watch it here ❤ czcams.com/video/SPQAWR4sW6A/video.html&t
And remember: people from LEGO might read these comments, so instead of writing "the new one sucks" or "this is a downgrade", be constructive and write what you like or don't like about it, and what you wish for the next one.
And thanks for all the positive feedback. More videoes are coming soon :)
Wishes and ideas for new videos are appreciated.
lots of love
CPH Rig-Team
It's not the same, sure, but the fact that they didn't just make them into minifigs is super awesome!! Thanks, LEGO!
Still cheap garbage
what he suldt have done as takeing out toraka vakama
that is actually awesome lol
“You excited about the new Bionicle?”
-unknowingly asked to the original co-creator
I loved the look on his face haha such a wholesome humble guy, made our childhoods brighter
Such a wholesome man. I wonder if the LEGO store employees knew that there was a legend in their store today.
Considering the lady immediately knew he was here for the Bionicle could mean she knew Christian and who he was.
I assume there was a little bit of staging there. After all, thy were recording a video right at a store and no employee had a somewhat surprised look at all. I don’t say it’s a bad thing - this video has a very positive spirit.
Id say they had 2 legends in their store just one of them was made of 22 year old plastic
@@koscokos I'm sure they talked to the manager and asked for permission to film and explained his Bionicle background. I once did a shoot for a cafe I worked on. I just explained to the staff I was a co-designer of the place. They told me to come in a few minutes before store opening so I could take pictures before customers come in
Fr
The man who saved Lego from disaster and gave me a great chillhood moment with bionicles
Childhood 😳
Man was a Lego employee and wasn't a VIP member, what a legend
And not just employee, but also co-creator of something as legendary as bionicle
That old Tahu has *years* of character in it. The missing foot, the bent fire sword - that one has been loved by the owner for sure.
Oh yes🤩❤️🔥with the Cd-Rom containing animations and small Suva puzzles. I remember how cool it was that we got to place a mini-cd in the lid🦾💿
I will look for a proper foot in the Turaga beach pile👍
Reminds me of my own Tahu. Flame sword slightly messed up and missing my Hau mask. That missing mask has bothered me for sooooooo long
My childhood cat chewed the flame sword. I should probably check bricklink for a replacement.
I still have my bionicle sets...love them
I'm impressed with how he actually kept his cool at the store and did not humblebrag about how he helped create the entire team and the cashier not realizing it was Faber who entered the store.
Insane.
yeah right?! I would not have been able to resist
He cares more about the fact that Bionicle has "come back", than his popularity, which I respect
If I was her I would have really wanted to know who he was and why he was so excited!
He probably called ahead and told them who he was so that he would be allowed to film inside of the store
@@michaelpacinus242 Didn't really seem like she knew who he was though. In hindsight she got to give him the LEGO VIP membership ^^
I can't stress how much these Bionicle's meant to me as a kid. my single dad was broke in the 90's, he would take me to hamley's in London just to play with the display toys and have the magicians show tricks and amaze me as a kid. I remember asking him to buy me one as an early birthday gift, he gave in, and i was the happiest kid. i had 3 or four of them by the end and used to love Frankenstein-ing them, was so much fun. Thank you Christian for giving me this joy as a kid. meant the world to me in a lonely upbringing. Bionicle's and the small soldiers toys where where my absolute favourite. i hope this revival brings kids the same joy it did to me.
The ball and socket joints were the greatest addition to the LEGO ecosystem, and I'm saddened that they never stuck around.
They are still used in some sets. I've built ninjago with my son that has
They still have some of them in production. Its just that most of the designs for the older sockets were way too brittle and went through 2 more revisions before the ones we have now
They still exist, but with new moulds, usually a lot less brittle.
Christian Faber always makes me feel like its the 2000s again and Bionicle is still going. He has such passion for them it brings a smile to my face.
Creativity is the fountain of youth🤩🔋and it is an instant timemachine❤️
@Copenhagen Rig definitely a time machine, we appreciate it 🙌🔥
This man made our childhoods an unique and magical expierence. Thank you for all those memories
Lets make it more than memories. The future needs creativity, hope and legends ❤️🔥🗿🤖✏️🚀
my entire childhood revolved around bionicle. Growing up in a lower class rural area, it was the perfect gift and hobby because every $10 set added more and more to what you could do. It was all i ever wanted for any gift, birthday, Christmas, anything. And growing up without internet, it really helped me develop my creativity and mechanical knowledge. When my collection grew large enough, i began making larger scale fully articulated creatures, my best being a 40 pound humanoid that could stand under its own weight, was fully poseable, when i was 7 and i figured out how to make the joints work completely on my own without internet.
Thank you Mr. Faber, your work inspired a generation like me into mechanically minded fields.
Great to hear about the effect that Bionicle had in your childhood. Creative inspiration is the best we can give each other and to hear messages like this from you makes all the difference, Thanks and see you on a golden beach:) or somewhere else, Best regards C. Faber
I want to Express the warmest thanks to all of you incredible creative members of the Bionicle family. Thanks for the reception of this video. We are planning many more where we will go indepth with the creativity and how It all came to be. Quest for future creativity has just begun. Next episode will contain earlier Bionicle concepts never shown before… soon😉👍✏️❤️🔥🚀
Кристиан, спасибо вам за серию Бионикл. Вы очень талантливый человек, спасибо за подаренное детство для нас. Привет из России.))
Just bring the OG Bionicles back !
This was such an amazing video! Can't wait for more!
Its interesting to hear you talk about bionicle
please bring an original set back as a remaster possibly?
“It’s a beautiful day in Copenhagen.” He says, wearing the puffiest coat imaginable
This is magical. He took us on a tour of the town just because he could! The cameraman did an amazing job too, not even remotely shakey.
Thank you 🤩❤️👍 I love Copenhagen and Niklas is the best action cameraman/editor You can imagine👏👏👏🎥❤️
I could just watch him tour a town on his bike and not get bored.
I thought the same this video made me wanna go there. Lego was the main reason I wanted to visited Copenhagen but the city looks beautifull
Do you know how new cameras work? Most cheap production cameras have anti shake so you could have parkinson and it would still come out clean
The original no matter the age difference is leagues ahead of the new Bionical it is truly a masterpiece
Agreed! I look at that new "Bionicle" and long for the real thing, not this in my opinion sad attempt at remaking them out of standard Legos.
The new one isn't supposed to be better or even equal, just a homage.
I'm returning to Lego after many years and I actually don't understand the hype with the new bionicle. I'm mainly into Technic but this new release seems substandard in comparison to the artistry of the old stuff. I feel like lego is just capitalizing on the nostalgia of the "bionicle dream"
I think the old masks were so cool. Not a fan of the new style
I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that as someone who made a lot of our childhoods, thank you, and watching you put this new GWP together was something special. Glad you liked it!
The Toa of Air was my favourite toy. I have him in his container, at home. I'll always cherish it!
I loved BIONICLE so much as a kid. I was 8 years old in 2001 and fell completely in love with the world, the characters, the comic books! I remember waiting at my window for the mailman to come early in the morning, just hoping for the next issue so I could get back to Mata Nui. I still have such deep, nostalgic feelings for it all. Nothing compared to building the Toa from the canisters and creating stories with them in my bedroom for hours. Kopaka was always my favorite.
I still think a passionate, high-budget, cinematic take on the original BIONICLE story would be beautiful and compelling: Tahu falling from the sky and building himself on the beach, finding the other Toa and searching for the masks, meeting the decrepit Matoran Makuta at the end in a subversion of expectations to set up for a sequel... I hope to see it happen someday.
I will never forget buying the Toa Nuva in the early 2000s with my dad. You created such an incredible story that was so much deeper then I realized. Bionicle forever!
Man, I want the original Bionicles back. There are times where I cry remembering how cool they were and their story and I know they are gone forever.
Yeah, it's a shame that Lego practically ignores Bionicle nowadays, tha IP that saved them from Bankruptcy
This video was such a wholesome and heartfelt expression, it warmed my heart to see. Thanks for joining in the celebration with all of us!
I was amazed to learn that Bionicle was an allegory for your battle with a brain tumor. These toys single handedly proved that toys can be art
It's amazing how the design of each bionicle naturally grabbed your attention, the design of the arms, legs, helmet and each wave each year was unique. Even the cannister shaped packaging and years ahead was really designed well to be interactive, an amazing tactile experience. You really got the whole package. One of the best themes, nothing but amazing memories when you first open any of the chracters you choose.
I only had *one* Bionicle figure growing up, but I got so many hours of play out of it is insane, the posability was unmatched and you could add spare parts to it you found from here and there
Thank you for everything... I have many good memories thanks to your creativity and passion!
This dude is literally responsible for my childhood. I put to Bionicles together like a marine puts together his rifle when I was a kid. I don’t think my childhood wouldn’t be the same and words could never describe how thankful I am for him.
Nice comment, but that isn't how you use the word "literally". The only ones who are "literally" responsible for your childhood are your parents.
Bionicles were so awesome... I feel very lucky that I could own them in my childhood
My Tahu and Takua are on their way to me as we speak, I know I'm going to have a similar reaction of absolute joy when they arrive. Like being reunited with old friends. Thank you Mr Faber; the hours I spent in my imagination, away on that magical island with all those weird and wonderful characters, made for some of my happiest times as a child.
Thank you so much. The great thing is to keep your Island alive and your creativity and curiousity in good shape. Never loose the adventurous hero inside😀✏️❤️🔥🚀
Glad you’re checking it out, Faber! I’m torn about Greg’s name being misspelled, but hopefully the rest of the set is a glowing tribute. 😊
how nice of him to take his son to the lego store
its something special seeing Faber built a Bionicle set and i'm glad that he chose to do a mini review!
Man
This actually, bring tears on my eyes!
I spent a lot of time and money with Bionicle and literally, always was a good buy.
And is glad to see again a Bionicle box on those days! Man. The face of him is the same that I put in 14 minutes of video!
Obviously we know is not the same product (I always prefer the original) but this tribute is PURE GOLD!!
Bionicle was almost my whole childhood. This really brings back most fond memories
I already commented but it’s really sweet how giddy and excited you get over this. You share a passion with the community, it seems 😆
I’m a fan an representing the community and legend the best I can🗿❤️🔥🤖
@@questforfuturecreativity so you could say you're a fan of yourself?
i would be too if i was you
literally just got the original Tahu, Tahu nuva, and the new GWP Tahu today
I remember loving Bionicle as a kid. I can't remember how I got into it, but I was addicted. I'm 23 now, and I remember in primary school here in the UK making a photoframe as a class project, and in it I put the photo of one of the Bionicles. I still have it, and it's so wholesome to see it having more value than just a hobby to someone else too.
I love your enthusiasm, but what I find even more amusing is that the clerks at the Lego Store had probably no idea who they were talking to hahaha
Why would they though?
"Alright guys heres a list of everyone who's worked at the company study this list you will be tested"
@@dissraps I didn't expect they would, but it's kind of funny that they sold a Bionicle set to the literal creator of the theme without realising
Hi Faber, greetings from Chile 😁🇨🇱
Greetings back to you in Chile. Great with a worldwide community👍❤️🤖
Something I seriously want to see is the story and character designs for the dinosaur Bionicle sets that we're meant to be in 2009 before it got cut short. I feel cheated that the dinosaur planet didn't happen first because dinosaurs, dragons, Kaiju (like Godzilla and Ultraman monsters), and robotic life forms are my top favorite creature types for media. Please show us any dino and dragon-like Bionicle concept art, prototypes, and story stuff we haven't seen. Bionicle stuff also makes me cry from nostalgia and how powerful of a soul it has! Thank you so much for working on this series, I'm delighted to see Tahu return! Maybe as an idea, make official designs for story characters we don't yet have out of existing pieces, so that we can make them and have new official sets, even if they never released in stores!
I'm touched to see how happy you were with the set
The girl that was serving him on till probably had no idea she was talking to one of the original creators
Much love from California! Thank you for helping create Bionicle, Mr Faber. I remember going to Toys-R-Us and buying all 6 of the original toas. You've brought much joy and creativity to many all around the world.
So happy to see old LEGO themes coming back. Really hope Power Miners comes back. I'd buy every set!
I hope not. Rock Raiders or bust.
What a nice guy
Creativity makes nice. The more you give the more you get🤩❤️👍
Glad to hear from you, Faber! Bionicle 2023! 🗿
Best video of 2023. So moving to see this guy opening with a lot of joice the set.
I find that it's kind of sad that he has not his name somewhere on the manual. He is one of the creator !
i peaked over and noticed the cryoshell phone case love the band and love the even more depth they gave to bionicle
You can see the passion in this man. Thank you for having created such an epic series!
I couldn't help shedding a few tears, it means a lot seeing the passion this guy has for his work, and the excitement was so pure and humble. I remember seeing the first commercial back in 2001 and I couldn't believe that it was this brand new mystery I'd somehow stumbled upon with robots on some paradise island, what an awesome concept. I really do hope we see more love for this franchise in an official way, the set is so much fun.
Your excitement and joy is contagious, like a dad being overjoyed to see his newborn kid come into the world. Cant thank you enough for creating this franchise, it was the reason why I got into Lego.
Bionicle will forever have a special place in my heart for kicking off my love of LEGO that’s lasted for decades now. I’ve still got some of my old Bionicles, and I’ll never forget the experience of playing with them and building them. I hope one day that we get a re-release of the original Toa, but I’m glad LEGO still acknowledges them.
Fantastisk Faber! Hvor er det fedt at se din evigt glødende begejstring. Kæmpe aftryk, du og teamet har sat - og stadig sætter - på det store LEGO Community 💚
seeing him be this happy makes me rly happy
Why is this so civilized, positive and wholesome... Imagine the whole world ambience is like this, imagine what we can do as a human species.
I visited Copenhagen in October and watching this video reminds me why I love it so much. Beautiful city.
Late to this video but I absolutely LOVED BIONICLE it was my childhood man, the original Toa, the rakshi, the inika the mahri I loved them all, this was a joy to see
I had no idea they made that new interpretation! Do you SEE this, Lego? Do you see the passion, of the fans and creators? Please PLEASE give us proper Bionicles again! I miss them so much, I still have a couple of mine
love the cryoshell phone case
This was wholesome and awesome
I love that he's gone through and liked almost every single comment.
Faber has a great blog page with lots of concept art that i absolutely LOVED reading through a few years ago. Thanks for your amazing documentation of this labor of love!
I like how The Circle of Life is playing when he's comparing the old and new sets.
It was so great to hear your thoughts and emotions towards this set. Also this blog style video was fun and well formatted! I would love to see this style of video be used as you explore creativity and inspiration.
This just appeared in my recommendations today for some reason. But I'm glad it did. This brought back a lot of memories of Bionicle for me.
As a Kid, everyone at my school had this. I was one of the few back then to have all 6 to make the Larger Bionicle. Good memories.
When I was a kid, I could only get my hands on Lewa and Kopaka Nuva, along with a couple of Bohrok.
When the 2016 reboot came along, I knee-jerk bought ALLLLLL OF THE TOA!
Hard to believe it's been so long, but I still come back to the comics, sets, and the amazing online point-n-click game. I will always love the world of Bionicle, and It's truly special.
It's so great to see you with this thing in hand, and even better to see how happy it makes you all these years later! For as much as Bionicle has meant to fans, it's really something to see what it means to you. Looking forward to everything else you make.
It’s incredible to see a new proper Bionicle set from the OG wave after all these years. The series means so much to me. Thank you for bringing this to us.
They released a bew bionicle??
You´re my idol Faber. BIONICLE Forever..!!! TvT
This just appeared in my suggestions and wow, this bring back memories... And I got to know the creative genius behind them, your new projects look so cool too !
This is amazing to see, after all these years the fact that it has come full circle. A heartwarming tale of remembering and bringing back the best of the past. ❤
By the great spirit
What a nice video! I haven´t been the bigbgest fan of Bionicle, but it was something special and it was sad that the sets were removed from the shops. What a nice comeback and I hope you will continue doing such cool videos like this. Keep it up!
What a comeback!!! I am so happy to see my childhood again.
Thanks for sharing your trip to the Lego store. You seem just as excited as I am about this new set.
I'm going to order Tahu but actually seeing him on the shelf again really is surreal.
Greetings from Germany!
Thank you for being a part of my life. I am so grateful.
This was so humble and surreal. Thank you so much, Mr. Faber for giving us this incredible world of Bionicle and sharing the stories on how it came to be.
The amount of love and creativity put into this theme that lasted 9 years + a reboot is just astounding.
Glad to see that you still committed to Bionicle and that you love the 2023 GWP.
I can't wait to see your future bionicle projects come into fruition, as they're very intriguing.
I LOVE this channel already. Thanks for sharing some love from Denmark, I miss Copenhagen so much!
you're my hero. thanks for sharing this, im looking forward to see what you and the Rig come up with in the future
Thank you for everything! Bionicle meant a lot back to me back then, I recently re-acquired my old legos/bionicles and going through them, having a blast.
This is just amazing! Love your pure excitement, thats exactly how I felt building this after such a long gap between the last sets!
Thanks, Christian, for your creativity! Bionicle was a huge part of my childhood, and I can't wait to get the new Tahu and Takua in the mail!
This made me so happy! I'm glad i got to live this moment through your eyes! I wish you well on your amazing new journey! :)
I got recommended this video and I don't regret watching this, because this was so wholesome.
The made my day such a wholesome video. Awesome to see the love you have for Lego.
You know, rewatching this video and having Christian show us around Copenhagen, now I wanna see some green-screened video where he shows viewers around the island of Mata Nui.
"And here, we have a beautiful day on the Ta-Wahi beach, the sun is setting over the ocean...the Toa canister is still over there too, perfectly preserved."
As someone who's earliest and fondest memories are of bionicle, it's a joy to see that interest in bionicle is on the rise lately. 💙
Legends only rise when they are needed🗿❤️🔥🤖🚀
now pray next revisions dont use a sticker for the masks.
Very humble man. Don't know how i stumbled on bionicle CZcams videos but I remember the first ever range when I was a child, truly brought joy to my young self and probably had a heavy part in how nerdy I grew up to be. Thank you!
So sad this isn't a reboot but a tribute instead, Bionicle have been part of my childhood even tho it didn't got much recognition in my country, love from Brazil and thank you for what you did 🇧🇷❤
May the great spirit of Mata Nui be at your side!
This is so amazing to actually see. As a long time fan of Bionicle, you have so much respect and admiration from me, and I hope Bionicle returns full-force someday...
This video makes me so happy, I also just ordered mine today and it should be arriving in a few days. Seeing how happy it made you just makes me love it even more already
I apologize that I didn't know of your channel sooner. Thank you for your part in creating the BIONICLE franchise, thank you for being a huge part of my childhood and shaping me into the person I am today. Your stories and world-building have brought so much joy and inspiration into my life and I am truly grateful. Your work will always hold a special place in my heart and I wish you all the success in the future.
I love how clearly the passion just radiates from the guy. Hes like a little kid opening a present at christmas.
Bionicle was one of the first lore heavy series I ever got into. Even before Narnia and Lord of the Rings. Much of my childhood was spent with legos, but the dearest and most precious moments of those times were when i was building bionicles, either as described or making my own creations by combining various sets such as my visorak with a vhaki to creat a wolf-like warrior to much, much more. To see Bionicle, the true bionicle, end, was, to me, the first clear sign that my childhood was ending and a new chapter of my life was over. But, even when I’m old and grey and one foot in the grave, I’ll always have the fond memories of playing with the sets, reading the comics, and enjoying the movies. Thank you, sir, for a grand childhood.
What a great way to start the day, this was so lovely to see 😊
So much nostalgia in this video! It brought me back to my childhood when I got a new Bionicle for every christmas and birthday. It seriously brought a tear to my eye.
I miss all my old bionicles. It was truly the most incredible line of lego products I ever had the blessing of having in my child hood. I love bionicles forever. I wish I still had them
So cool that you got Friends sets, it’s my fave line now, the last couple of years of friends releases are awesome, in the new 41755 Nova's Room she is playing a Bionicle game! 😊
This was great to see you experience, so awesome to have Bionicle come back!
Bionicle in my younger years made me feel like an explorer it was the best time off my life and i still lovd those toys today i thank u for this ❤️ bionicle will always hold a place in my hearth
Your joy is so contagious, I've never owned a bionicle set but I'm a huge Lego fan in general, i used to own bionicle legends of metro nue on dvd
Damn, so this man is the creator of Bionicle? i used to collect Bionicles, every Toa Gen1-3 and every Bohrok back then 😂 basically this man is my childhood's hero
