In the LEGO BIONICLE universe, masks, or 'Kanohi', play a significant role. Each mask provides its wearer, often a Toa or other significant character, with specific powers. Over the course of the BIONICLE theme's lifespan, several masks were released as exclusive or promotional items. These exclusive masks became highly sought-after by collectors.
2014 LEGO Sets
2014 brought The LEGO Movie to theaters, propelling LEGO to unprecedented mainstream success and spawning its own theme. LEGO Star Wars celebrated 15 years, while Ninjago—originally planned for retirement—was extended following strong sales and a hit TV series. The first minifigure-scale Minecraft sets appeared, and LEGO The Simpsons launched with The Simpsons House and a dedicated minifigure series. Other additions included LEGO Juniors and the digital-physical LEGO Fusion, while a fan-designed Ghostbusters Ecto-1 commemorated the film’s 30th anniversary. Galaxy Squad, The Lone Ranger, and The Lord of the Rings ended during this period.
