Hooray! New, reenforced joints! Isn't that wonderful? No more breakages!

Eheheh. Yeah. Right.

Now, none of the double sockets have broken yet (at least, not to my knowledge) and all my canister sets are holding up fine. Possibly because I've had them for less time. My Matoran however are dying horrible, horrible deaths!

Of my four, two have broken pieces (perhaps the other two do as well). On poor Photok, his head connector is cracked. Not quite sure how this happened, but happen it did. On Solek, two pieces are broken! An arm and a leg both suffer from cracked connector pieces!

Now this manages to be less annoying than before, with pieces still managing to grip somewhat, but I would not expect a set to break so soon after buying them! No set to date has managed to break this quickly, and the intensity of play to which I subject them has significantly decreased over the years. I'm nearly 18. Getting old, see.

Back in the day (did I just use that phrase?) my poor figures had to endure a lot. I managed to completely snap Lewa's arm by whacking a Tarakava over the head trying to dislodge its mask. Now THAT is the kind of play I'd expect to break something! With my current figures, I've done very little indeed except stick them in a few cool poses.

I've ordered replacement parts and hope they arrive soon, but in the meantime I'm two Matoran down. Infact, I'm not sure I dare touch any of my Matoran with a cotton bud lest they snap and bend in quite horrific ways that don't bear even thinking about.

Conclusion: I am annoyed.

Edit: I was wrong. Three of Solek's limbs are broken.
