  1. Hello fellow matoran. Yesterday I went to a mini-market I haven't ever been to before, full of cheap stuff: there's a section to the store full of decorations and candy for parties, and as I kept walking I was looking at all these typical bootleg toys and thinking to myself: "Will there be something of interest here perhaps?", (I live in México and I'm always fascinated to find funny knockoffs/bootlegs). I knew I hit jack-pot when my eyes locked-on to this metal bar on the displaying wall, a box clinging from it with a toy that I know shouldn't belong here, I gasped as I approached it and clawed this bad boy and with amazement said to the person accompanying me: "It's from BIONICLE". There it was in my grasp, a fully constructed Jungle Protector, but the odd thing that made me get a good chuckle was the title it was given: "SPACE WARRIOR", with the Star Wars font and design, Jungle Protector no-more, but a name resembling that of a fairy tale creature or a famous villain from the Spider-Man: "Green Goblin". The name of the others truly knocked my socks off as I slaped my knee in glee. As I laughed at this beauty, I glanced over to the display and saw another bad boy, not the Protector of Earth, but "SIRIUS". There was another metal bar at the top with more of these, but they were only more Green Goblins. They were placed in display bars with the tag "$36", thinking they were a whopping cheap $36 pesos, something like $1.91 dollar. Took both and headed over to the counter and asked if the price was correct, but the woman checking in broke me as she said: "It's $70 pesos" that would be like $3.71 dollars, I was bugged because it was the same price as an original Battle Angel Alita Manga; I couldn't take them both so I only bought Green Goblin. This may seem unusual, but to me it's a great new discovery as I also have collected a "Robot Automata", a Metus knock-off I got at an OXXO (mexican 7-Eleven), which was almost the same price, there are other Glatorian knockoffs in those shops that I must get. Noless, here's pictures of the victim, I can show off bootleg Metus later:
