bionicle

A line of LEGO construction toys that ran from 2000 to 2010. The series features many science fiction elements as well as influence from Maori aesthetics and language, and is notable for having incredibly expansive lore and an ongoing story throughout the line's lifetime. The lore was spread across a variety of mediums, including books, comics, video games, flash games, podcasts, and 4 feature-length films.

The line was discontinued in 2010, but later rebooted in 2015 with a new continuity and completely different art style. The reboot featured several books, graphic novels, animated web shorts, and an animated series on Netflix, before being discontinued in 2016.

Despite the line being in a dormant state and having no new official content releases or reprints of previous sets, the series has retained a large fanbase that consistently creates new content.
