I've finally completed a project I've been working on for months. No, not because it was a lot of work or difficult or anything of the sort, but because I simply didn't have the pieces available. Two days ago, I ordered the final pieces I needed. Today they arrived. I was quite impressed with that, to be honest. Two days is very fast indeed.

What I wanted to do, rather than complain constantly about how the Newva aren't right and so on, was to redesign them slightly and fix the parts I didn't like. I'm not talking rebuilding them entirely, just tweaking them here and there. So, here they are!

Yeah, I threw Takanuva in as well because I felt like making a Toa-sized version of him. I still love the 2008 set (considerably more than my Toa version, I might add), but he does throw things off a bit in group photos.

I'm not going to go into detail about each set now. I'll probably make a topic in the BBC forum at some point. I will, however, explain the blanket changes I made.

First off, the projectile weapons had to go. They're fun, certainly, but I think the sets look better without them. Besides, does the most powerful Toa team in the universe REALLY need them?

Secondly, I replaced all the red and blue pins with black ones. I also, where I felt it was appropriate, replaced the light grey axle rods with black ones too. It's only a minor thing, but I think they look much better for it.

Thirdly, I removed the Matoran connector/Inika shoulder armour thingy from the sets' backs. I really love the function, but it looks so silly otherwise!

That's it. All the other changes were made specifically for each set. I hope you like!
