M.T.M.A.

Hey people... So 've been absent for quite quite some time, and have been brought back by the revival of the series. I stopped buying Lego altogether in 2008, I was going into high school and it wasn't "cool" to collect toys anymore so I just put a stop to it and just followed the story until mid 2009. After some time, I went back to buying Transformers, something I've done during most of my childhood, and became a collector. Now, seeing the Toa, the original six, back again, with modern designs, I have been motivated to make an exception and buy these guys. I'm not really interested in the Skull Villains, only the six Toa. (BTW, got an Onua arriving in the mail, any general opinions on him?) One thing I find funny is just observing how the community and fanbase is reacting and adapting to Bionicle having a second iteration, especially after I've come from a franchise like Transformers, that has a number of different continuities that have nothing to do with each other and even different interpretations of the same continuity. I also now have developed a collector's point of view. I now see the current and past sets from a perspective greater than "I like this guy!" I now can understand opinions and critique that I just didn't have the mindset to understand when I was just a teenager, just someone that bought toys. This all has been an enlightening experience. (I know it may sound overly deep for something so trivial) and I really glad to be back here after so much time...

I was planning on getting Kopaka, at least. Any reports of breakage on him?

I tried many times, but I don't see it, either in my inbox or my spam folder, anywhere. Had even to log in through google+ just to post here and try to get some help.

I had considered selling them for parts online... But I can't let go of them, they were part of... Well they WERE my childhood. I'm thinking of keeping them here until I buy a 3D printer and remake the pieces ._.

Aren't these the new sockets? O_O

And almost none escaped this... Rahkshi, Bohrok-Kal, Toa Hordika, Toa Mata... I just stored them in their canisters.

Firstly, um, hi! I've been absent from the forums for quite some time, and from Bionicle too, as a whole. I recently dug up my old sets from my closet and found most of them in this state: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_qEInzNWEuSNGxrSG9WR2VWT28/view?usp=sharing This leads me to some questions. First, can I fix this? Second, what causes this in most of my sets? Third, are the new guys prone to breaking like this?
