Comments (23)

Lego has unveiled its first half product line-up for next year, lead by new line Power Miners.

Launching in January, Power Miners will have year-round marketing support including a full PR campaign focused on the childrens’ press, online marketing, Lego Club campaign and in-store promotions.

Power Miners features a team of miners that dig into the Earth’s crust and encounter half-rock/half-crystal monsters. The range features collectible vehicles and mini-figures and monsters.

Elsewhere, the new Bionicle theme is Glatorian, with six ‘tribes’ based on different elements (fire, water, ice, rock, jungle and earth). The new line features a shootout action game to encourages social play. The range launches in January. Also added to the line-up are six smaller Bionicle figures, designed as an impulse purchase.

The Indiana Jones range continues with two new sets based on classic film sequences – Fight on the Flying Wing and Shanghai Chase.

New pull-back Power Racers include Ferrari Victory, Monster Jumper, Extreme Wheelie, Blue Sprinter and Race Rig.

Lego City Power items feature a bulldozer, Construction Site set, Front-End Loader and Dump Truck while Lego City Farm includes a Tractor, 4WD with Horse Trailer, Combine Harvester and top of the range Farm set.

“Bionicle and Power miners”

Power Miners sounds A LOT like Rock Raiders, and old series of Lego. And as for Bionicle, I hope when they said "jungle" they meant air!

So now we can discuss 2009 on BZPower. Cool.
But it seems too early to judge next year, I bet it'll be cool.

Finally, a Temple of Doom set! I was mad when I found out that they didn't release a single one this year....ah well. Glad that we're dropping Air and moving to Plantlife/Jungle. It's just these cliche element names that remind me a lot of RoboRiders, and those other lines that didn't go past 2 months or so.

power miners? Sounds lots like Rock raiders, Mars Mission, and such things.
Anyways, IŽll maybe stop collecting bionicle next year. If this legend ends... well, I just wonŽt be abale to see it as the same storyline, and therefore not bionicle.

Jungle instead of Air? Fail.

If that's true, then either I'll quit Bionicle for a year or two (I'm a hardcore fan, can't leave it forever) or put a nail through my hand.

Also Shootout and Social Play do not belong in the same sentence.

Besides, how would a Shootout element (no pun intended) fit on Action figures made for posability? Tel me that, LEGO.

I'm okay with jungle, as long as they can still fly.

Just remember that the storyline wont make any sense until 2008 is over...

The shootout element will probably use the ranged weapons they are shown to have on youtube, but i dont see how it encourages social play...

I dont like 2009 so far...

JUNGLE??? That's not even an element. Whats Lego's problem? Air has always had my favorite characters and if lego changes it I will hate them eternally.

I think Power Miners sounds a lot like Rock Raiders. Lego seems to be running out of ideas. Mars Mission was a revived Life on Mars, Power Miners is a revived Rock Raiders, and this new Bionicle sounds a lot like 2001 Bionicle. I loved Rock Raiders, so Power Miners should OWN!

"Glatorian" sounds uninspired, but I'll let it pass. The new Lego stuff sounds pretty cool, and I like the return to Rock Raiders.
To Hunter Kirax, they aren't running out of ideas, it's just that their fans like the old themes and want them to continue them.

I think I'll quit bionicle, and that's a long way for me, because bionicle is basically my life
