I would like to point out that in a previous proposition regarding the removing of the limit of how many Toa there currently are in the Matoran Universe, the general consensus was that there can be Toa that weren't included in that census, even though GregF was the one that said that there are only 53 Toa currently in the Matoran Universe, and so the proposition was turned down.
Also, the C.I.R.C.L.E has stated that there were some Makuta that survived Makuta Teridax's takeover and the Order's attack on the Brotherhood of Makuta, even though GregF has stated that all the Makuta were killed, save for Makuta Miserix, the Alternate Dimension Teridax, and the Matoran Universe Teridax.
I don't mean to sound rude, but where do we draw the line for what we consider Canon and what's not?
As for the sand issue, thanks for clearing that up, Ausar; I change my vote for that article to 'AYE.'
