The LEGO promotional set 40581 BIONICLE Tahu and Takua is now online on the official store where this small box of 219 pieces is valued at 16.99 €. It will be offered from January 27 to February 9, 2023 from 100 € of purchase and since the posting of the first "reviews" of the product which praise the tribute offered to an emblematic range of the manufacturer's catalog, the opinions are to say the least very mixed. You will have to spend your money in the CITY, Monkie Kid, Ninjago, Friends, Classic, DOTS and Creator 3-in-1 universes to be able to take advantage of the offer.

LEGO undoubtedly estimates that the subject treated will be enough to motivate a nostalgic generation which in any case could not hope for better and will be satisfied with these two constructions which finally have BIONICLE only the name.

LEGO today announces the upcoming discontinuation of the LEGO DOTS range, launched in 2020, and the last wave of new products marketed under this label will be in March 2023. Existing products will remain available until the end of this year.

The ultra-competitive creative leisure market got the better of this range of products that are logically difficult to renew and reinvent over time. Even if the range disappears as such, LEGO does not refrain from reusing the concept within other ranges, it is already the case with products under Disney license and we know that three references under Harry Potter license are scheduled for this year.

Those who follow the usual channels have already seen the LEGO set 40581 BIONICLE Tahu and Takua, it will be offered on the official store from January 27 to February 9, 2023 from €100 of purchase. In the packaging, 219 pieces to assemble with classic bricks two reproductions of characters from the BIONICLE universe: Tahu and Takua.

I was not a fan of the range concerned, so this promotional product leaves me a little indifferent, but I still ask myself the following question: Why offer a tribute that does not use the parts, not even a mask, which precisely made the specificity of this universe? Many fans will probably be content with it, but I find the result a bit cheap for a tribute to an emblematic range.
