Andrew can do what he wants with his money, but for what reason is Hapori Tohu supporting Planned Parenthood, which, among the other services mentioned by Black Six in the two giveaways, deals directly with pregnancy abortions in America? Notwithstanding the BZPower Administration's reservation of "the right to alter, enforce, add, or waive any rules for any specific member at any time," one of the BZPower rules state that "Political sigs, posts, and PMs are not allowed on BZPower. This includes other topics related to politics such as abortion or gun control as well as any statement promoting or insulting certain political ideologies." I suggest Hapori Tohu find a different organization to support immediately.

I don't understand why so many people are complaining so much; I find this set exciting. Clearly, LEGO has been listening and learning. We now have gear functions, extremely solid builds, great color schemes, wonderful evolutions, extra playability (conflict-in-a-box, combiners), complex set and piece designs.... And lots of other nice little details too!

I noticed that the combiner attachment armor piece on his back helps hide Onua's otherwise thin neck. A clever orientation, as is the apparently useless little technic assembly jutting out to his sides from around his back. These, however, help to make Onua thicker up to his shoulders. Some say the skeleton ribcage is too flat for his shoulders; some say the combiner makes his shoulders too bulky; I say either way looks great, giving him width and bulk without being cumbersome. I also love that LEGO discarded the "action feature here!" colours for the gears, helping it blend more easily. I did think his feet were large, but that probably helps balance his large hammer-drill, which, by the way, seems like a perfect weapon for Onua.

Even though I still don't consider Onua my favorite, he is clearly an excellent set through-and-through, and that just makes me more excited for the other ones!

Ekimu's small size but thick build make me wonder how posable he is. It's certainly a pleasant surprise to see him this early in the story though.

On that note, I feel like the story is moving very quickly. I haven't yet seen the sets in stores, and I've already seen the last episode. What are they going to do for the rest of the 80 years Bionicle is around?

Back to the sets, though, I just noticed the black villain with the really cool giant battle axes has two purple horns coming off his head. They all appear to have some kind of spiny mid-section piece, but this guy is more armored. Overall, he looks the best.

It is slightly disappointing to see repeats of weapons already, with the crossbow and re-use of the axes on two villains. The scorpion guy looks fragile, or possibly hard to move, much like I thought of Lord of the Skull Spiders. But I turned out to be wrong in my exact expectations there, so we'll see. 

It also appears that the new pieces actually do not allow for any armor attachments at all. In the end, however, I do look forward to these sets, or at least a better view of them for now. Then I can decide how much to complain about them. But until then... It's Bionicle!

Looking at the other power-up models, it appears they all use their weapons. Such weapons as normally attach to the feet are placed there, with the exception of Gali's shark fins, so I wonder why Kopaka's don't.  Besides being a nice tactic to get people to buy both sets instead of just one, I do like the easy transformation back and forth, instead of buying duplicate sets to keep the regular and combiner models, or constantly snapping pieces as you build and rebuild.

The only problem I have with entry 8 is that the avatar is not symmetrical; Tohu is not in the center of the hexagon. It appears that we are looking at the avatar from the lower left because the black border on two sides of the hexagon is not at the absolute edge.

I need 40 gray bricks, 18 nebular crystals, and many victory banners. Clicks or items will be given in return. If anyone has items to give me, please send me a PM. My MLN name is mimaka.
