MoD reader Metru-Nui Islander writes in that BIONICLE® author Greg Farshtey has posted a topic on BZPower revealing new sets for 2005. The two sets will be revealed in the next BrickMaster Edition of LEGO® Magazine : THE BATTLE OF METRU NUI and TOA IRUINI.

THE BATTLE OF METRU NUI is a new play set featuring MINI TOA HORDIKA, VISORAK, and KAHGARAK with “lots of features and functions” that can be combined with two other BIONICLE® play sets to form a “big battle scene.” According to Greg, THE BATTLE OF METRU NUI set “is a Coliseum wall with a huge TOA mask as a gateway, and catapults and web lines and the KAHGARAK defending it against the TOA HORDIKA who are trying to get inside to save the MATORAN.”

Greg did not write much about TOA IRUINI. You will recall that there is a RAHAGA IRUINI , so we may quite possibly have found in the RAHAGA the other TOA of TOA LHIKAN’s generation. Elsewhere, Greg did write a little bit about BIONICLE’s future, stating that “BIONICLE is very much a priority for the company going forward.”

Finally, something else to look for in the January BrickMaster Edition of LEGO® Magazine is a new BIONICLE contest with the Grand Prize winner’s creation getting into one of next year’s novels.
