** 2017 was a big one for Bionicle fans, as for the very first time, Nathan Furst released the Original Scores to the first 3 Bionicle movies for digital download. No dialogue or sound effects bleeding into the music, no awkward cuts or fades to that shorten the length of the songs. No. These were the real deal with every cue heard in the film as well as new bonus tracks. Huh. Why does my wallet feel so light?

** Blaze has been deconfirmed as a figure, and there's been no word yet that this troper could find on Mighty or Comic-based figures (unless you're talking about the figures packaged with a comic, but that's completely different). On a related note, it sucks that they had to cancel their old ''MortalKombat'' lion before their exclusive badass Kintaro figure was released...Wait, they're making an MK9 line, now? ''Classic Cyborg figures?'' '''Confirmed Kintaro figure, this time?!''' Just give us a Motaro figure to complete the boss set, and I'm sold.

** Then the successor line, ''Franchise/HeroFactory'' brought about the revolutionary change builders everywhere had been waiting for: ball-joint sockets that ''don't break'' (when used normally, that is). In general, the building-style introduced in the 2.0 line has been ''very'' well received.

** Very quickly subverted again when ''The Journey to One'''s second batch of episodes came out. The surge of rejoicing upon the reveal of Makuta's new design and the Mask of Ultimate Power crashed when Lego announced the series' premature cancellation, along with the news that nor Makuta, nor his mask will be released.

** 2010: ''BIONICLE Stars'' - Subverted. A commemorative line with Tahu, Takanuva the Rahkshi and a Piraka? The classic Hau mask re-released? '''YES!!!'''... Then, once images of the sets surfaced, the rejoicing fandom quickly turned into a BrokenBase, with one camp decrying the ''Stars'' as awful sets while the other camp considers their simplicity justified given the circumstances of their release.

** Mask Maker Vs. Skull Grinder. On the one hand, the Skull Grinder, much like his fellow Summer 2015 villains, was [[BrokenBase divisive]]. On the other hand: [[BigGood Ekimu]] gets his own figure, it's a box set featuring a hero facing off against the villain, and let's not forget: ''The Mask of Creation in set form!'' All of this is made even better when Lego Magazine revealed that the Skull Grinder actually has a ''name:'' Kulta.

** Although opinions are divided on whether it's a decent set or not, the release of the 2003 Makuta set was a huge thing, because it was the first official toy representation of the BigBad. In a similar fashion, the 2009 Titan-sized Toa Mata Nui was praised for its size (fans have been clamoring for a large Mata Nui since forever) and for including an exclusive gold-colored Mask of Life, though as with the ''Stars'', a few fans consider it a badly designed toy.
