I want one too, Mata-Nui comes well with it.

I want the gold 08 Ignika, but I do not want to pay 30 Bucks USD for it.

It's all part of LEGO's plan. Make a bad set, and force us to buy it by putting a gold Ignika in there.

EDIT: Well, after seeing the review, he is actually pretty good... But you get my point.

Gold Ignika?

Also I'd buy the set for scrap parts for MOCing.

Nuts, he still has that weird color scheme. :\

Parts are great, though.

Also, "Toa Mata Nui"? Glatorian must be really, really small.

With as much Voya gold that's been released thus far, I'm sure his color scheme's fixable with a quick hack-job revamp.

The gold is in my opinion the set's biggest flaw. I'd have much preferred a Keetorange Ignika anyhow-- it's brighter, more consistent with the smaller set, and much more photogenic. There are only two reasons I can imagine they made it gold: preferring not to release Inika thigh armor in a new color, and of course fanservice (one of those "be careful what you wish for" things, IMO).

I find it disappointing that people seem to see the gold Ignika as a major redeeming feature of the set. If a single part that pretty much ruins the look of the overall set makes the set more worth getting, you know something's up.

And Cholie, surely you understand the deal. "Toa Mata Nui" is the title Mata Nui goes by on Bara Magna (see: Desert of Danger), and this set gets that title only to distinguish it from the canister set, which is just called Mata Nui. Of course, you're prolly just being sarcastic, but it never hurts to make sure...

If they released a special edition Tahu with a gold Hau, heckyeah I'd buy it. Same goes for any other one of the Mata.

Lol.
