The number one complaint I’ve seen from members over the past two years has been the lack of Matoran availability. Well, finally you will be able to own Matoran. Six new Matoran were released from US S@H and will soon be flooding the shelves. So, was the wait worth it? Find out as we take our first look at the new Matoran sets

I agree - I just saw the Jaller/Gukko set today, and although I didn't like the concept of the new Matorans, TakaII and I agreed that it was a fun new design, very good to play with.

Great review! (as always!)
 The main thing I've looked forward to in these sets is the poseability (not a word?!) I am very much looking forward to getting these sets. |

Hafu's mask never changed. He's always had a black Ruru. It was a black Pakari only on the MNOG. |

i think that its a defninate improvement, but also i think they have a more mechanical look to them, as with the older matoran had a more natural organics feel to them. Still cool though.

Definitely going to have to buy them all, they look much better than the originals. Not quite as blocky, but then again, not as fluidic as the movie characters either.

 YAY! I've always wanted a matoran, but I never go to mcdonalds and never got one. Despite the fact that I never owned one, however, I did grow fond of their old appearance. hmm... Better get used to it, I guess. And, playing MNOLG 2 has helped me get used to it... But if they don't update it soon, I swear...Anyway, the price is right. I never knew kokepe had that hask, though. In the game he had the kanohi Komau... but then LEGO can do what they want. I'll get me one, all the same. (Kokepe's my favorite matoran)   -------------------- Pohatunuva88Pohatunuva88

Yes i would like to know what is up with that as well. B-Rex, can you tell us: 1. When they are supposed to hit stores 2. Why Kopeke has a dark grey Matatu <do i got the right mask> 3. If your going to make a review over the combiners they make. -nataku |

well, ive said it before (in the first of my two posts) and i'll say it again. I hate the new matoran designs. They shouldve just come out with the old school version of the matoran with just like random arms, feet, bodies, and masks so that people could build their own personal matoran ( i had to steal my 8 year old neighbor's onepu body to put with my hafu arms and gray komau to make my own matoran, kotor). Also, why didnt they make the new matoran with colored eyes like the toa? they would look so much better, and i personally am tired of seeing the boring, emotionless gray eyes on matorans anyway (if anyone has any suggestions on how to attach a toa head to a matoran body w/out making it look too weird, pm me) well, thats about it for me and my third post. I'm out like trout!

Great..just great.. I spend 70 dollars at McDonalds when the Mctoran come out, practically get to KNOW the guy at the counter... and now, they've come out in stores in the new versions... isn't life funny?
 But oh well, great review! I will definitely get the new Matoran - and probably a bunch of them.
