Well the new new year has begun and it's time to say our fond farewells to the ever-grinning Piraka, the courageous Matoran Resistance, the vigilant guardians of the Kanohi Ignika, the revolutionary Toa Inika, and the inhospitable island of Voya Nui. In turn, let us welcome the new players of 2007: the Barraki, Matoran, Hydruka, Nocturn, Toa Mahri, and Mahri Nui. We have a lot to look forward to this year; the atlas will answer many questions, as will the encyclopedia, and the story looks promising.

So, pop the cap of some sparkling cider and toast 2007 with me.
