An Update From Earlier

The irony nearly killed me. I have been checking my dorm mailbox regularly for weeks. (On the off chance that my parents send me something... they hinted at it but haven't followed through. And why does it matter... I'll be going home this weekend) Anyway, I checked it about once every day, sometimes even twice a day, and even at illogical times like Saturday night and the following Sunday morning (they don't deliver mail on Sunday. :( ). So I was kinda annoyed when my roomie came in and said that I had mail waiting...

 

Gah!

 

Just complaining now, onto the real update.

 

Some of you might remember this entry. You should, because I know everybody regularly reads every single thing I post online. (Cricket chirps, blasts it away with Cordak) Anyhow, when I got to my mailbox, I found a package from Lego. Inside, in a nice seal baggie, was Lewa Nuva Phantoka's lime green torso armor. There was also a nice letter, saying sorry and to call if I have any further troubles. (I think I will... one of Pohatu Nuva Phantoka's double socket connectors broke... and that's a gray piece too! Is all Lego plastic fragile now? I never had to worry about this kind of stuff until 2007)

 

So now my Lewa is complete, with all his pieces in the right place. I personally liked my version a bit better. The new armor makes him look a little meatier, but it also makes him look flat and pancaked, which is the fate of many canister sets. On the bright side, it really does give the lime a color boost over the gray.

 

I'm not completely satisfied with the piece, but I am satisfied with the service. Lego is good at sending replacement pieces. However, if you do follow through with this, look up the exact piece number, so as there is no confusion of what you're really missing.

I guess I should call them if I'm missing parts... my bad experiances were online.

Yeah... while the prices have gone up, the quality has gone down. I would be willing to pay even more for a better product.
Even some of my black parts on Vamprah have broken, even though I've only taken him apart twice. =(

Almost all of my Toa Mata sockets were broken back in '01. :P

Hmm. Well, I'm just starting to have a few socket pieces from 01 break on me, and that's been after severe use over time. These new ones are breaking with reletivly little use, and I've been rather gentle with them as well. So, to me, this is a big drop in quality.

Same here. Some of my ancient joints have been breaking lately but that's after seven years of MOCing and sunlight.
