I got a gahlok in 2003, but I really wasn't into bionicle until 2005. The first sets that I bought for myself were Iruini and Ehrye, I specifically remember buying Iruini because I saw Lerahk in the same store and thought he was a simpler version, and buying Ehrye beacause I liked his colorscheme. After spending a few hours on Iruini (I was only 5 at the time), I didn't build Ehrye because I wanted to play. The following day I introduced my best friend to bionicle. After buying a few visorak, we went on adventures with them and had an amazing time. In 2007 I really got deep into the story, being able to fully grasp it. 2007 and 2008 were my golden years; I followed the story, made mocs, and played games. I also really like making stopmotion movies of my own extensions to the story! These were also my first years "on" Bzpower. I followed it for news and for mocs until spring 2008, when I made this account under the name "garnira".
