Manas: Least Owned Set?
Saturday, October 27, 2007
A Manas pair sits on the great Bionicle shelves in my basement. Just visiting the collection and admiring the Rahi this afternoon, I tried to reconnect the rubber bands that allow the set to function properly. One crusty old band broke when I touched it. The set has been mine for five years, after all. Not that it mattered -- as long as it was going to break whenever I next tried to put it to use again. Then glancing down at the Bahrag, I looked at their white-rubber bands, how they haven't corroded at all. I wondered at this point if it were even possible now, being 2007, for a Manas set in any person's collection still to be in mint condition, having its original rubber bands completely intact.
Do think that somewhere on this planet there sits a Manas box truly unopened from 2001? It does seem, after all, to be the least-owned Bionicle set in history.
