LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 29 Brings Back BIONICLE Vibes

LEGO 71052 Collectible Minifigures Series 29 arrives on 1st May with twelve new characters, including what might be the most sought-after figure in ages - a BIONICLE cosplayer dressed as Tahu. The series keeps the familiar £3.99 per pack price point and comes in the cardboard packaging we've grown accustomed to.

You'll find the usual mix of fantasy characters, everyday people with interesting twists, and themed figures that tap into LEGO's broader universe.

That BIONICLE cosplayer is going to cause a proper scramble among collectors. For those of us who remember the original BIONICLE line, this minifigure offers a nostalgic nod without being an actual relaunch.

Actually, it's a smart way to acknowledge the fanbase whilst keeping expectations realistic about any proper BIONICLE return.

The Usual Hunt Begins

As always with these series, you can grab individual packs and feel your way through them, or wait for the inevitable box of 36 that retailers like Cdiscount will offer at better per-figure pricing. The feel test remains your best bet for finding specific characters, though LEGO's improved randomisation makes complete sets trickier to guarantee.

Series 29 should appeal to both collectors chasing specific characters and parents looking for affordable additions to their children's LEGO towns. Just don't expect to walk into a shop in June and easily find that BIONICLE figure.
