Clyce Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Just wanted to put this story out there, but I work at Target and as you can imagine this time of the year toys are flying on shelves. While helping out the toy department clean up after close I found hidden against the back of the shelf a lonely 2015 Pohatu. I scanned the bar code and, as you can imagine the toy was very cheap. Feeling that it was my duty as a BZ Power member, I decided that rather than taking the Pohatu for myself I would place him next to the Star Wars constraction sets and displayed him so that a parent would find him and share the joy of Bionicle with their kid. Sadly the next day all the SW sets around the set were sold, except him, but after a few days he was purchased by a parent for their kid. I fell like I have done a good deed. 10 Quote Gleaming glistens The Red Star, Bringing life to death afar, Up away in deepest space, You call me from your distant place.

Pohaturon Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 A true hero if I ever saw one. I bet you've got a Toa star now! Lucky kid too, 2015 Pohatu is a wonderful set. 5 Quote Stone rocks Model Designer at The LEGO Group. Former contributor at New Elementary. My MOCs can be found on Flickr and Instagram.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 And thus a product of Bionicle was given by a parent to their child at least one last time. In all seriousness though, that was a neat thing for you to do. 2 Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

Tuuli Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I guess that proves where Bionicle stands in the eyes of kids. You did a good job though, and that kid is gonna love Pohatu! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToaTImeLord Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 That was a beautiful thing you did.It was your destiny to give that child the Pohatu. 2 Quote Hey I got a Flickr because I like making LEGO stuff. https://www.flickr.com/people/toatimelord/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny7092 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) That was a wonderful thing you did. Your child is gonna love Pohatu, I'm sure. You know, this reminds me of how, in DC Comics, Bruce Wayne (before he became Batman, which is 2015 Pohatu's counterpart. However, I'm being serious here) is orphaned, but he is found by his butler, Alfred, and takes care of him. Plus, in Bionicle: The Journey to One, in one scene, Onua helps a lonely Ketar survive from Umarak and brought him with himself to the island where the Mask of Control is. These are my good comparisons to your compassionate actions, Azon. You did the right thing. Now Pohatu is at home, no longer lonely. (Well, I hope your kid that five other 2015 Toa. Just saying.)
