The LEGO BIONICLE Stars were the final series of sets released in 2010 for the original BIONICLE storyline, marking the culmination of the saga that began in 2001. The BIONICLE Stars line was a way of paying homage to the entire decade-long run by bringing back several iconic characters in new, smaller forms. All BIONICLE Stars sets came with pieces of 'Golden Armor'. When all sets were collected, the Golden Armor pieces could be combined and worn by Tahu, granting him immense power in the storyline. The Bionicle Stars line served as a way to both celebrate the history of the Bionicle theme and provide closure to the original storyline.
2010 LEGO Sets
2010 marked the debut of Collectible Minifigures Series 1 and 2, launching a global collector phenomenon. LEGO expanded its Disney partnership with Cars under DUPLO and Toy Story sets in minifigure scale, while Prince of Persia joined the lineup alongside Star Wars sets celebrating The Empire Strikes Back’s 30th anniversary. New original themes included Atlantis, Hero Factory (successor to BIONICLE), World Racers, and Kingdoms, a return to historically inspired castle play. Several older lines ended, including Agents, Bob the Builder, Indiana Jones, and Thomas & Friends.
