I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place to bring this up.

I purchased Toa Iruini ( http://shop.lego.com/product.asp?p=8762 ) last
month, and
not too long after saw Toa Norik
( http://shop.lego.com/product.asp?p=8763 ), but it doesn't seem to be
available in the USA (or anywhere?) but is mentioned on the Bionicle
website.
(
http://www.lego.com/eng/bionicle/productpage.aspx?family=toahaga&productNumber=8763 )

If you change the shopping cart country to Australia, it is available for
purchase here.  I do not know why it is not available in the US - perhaps
there was some problem with saftey regulations regarding the spinning disc
inclued as part of the toy?

The S@H theme section for Bionicle does not list this product, but is
advertising the combo pack of Toa Norik and Toa Iruini
( http://shop.lego.com/product.asp?p=65757 ) as a featured
product, and is also saying this product is available in the USA. Will Toa
Norik be available seperately? I really do not want to have to buy Toa
Iruini again.

It lists the items separately here, I can find them here all under Hordika.
I can also purchase them separately.

Also, related to this, the Bionicle page doesn't have a section for these
special edition Toa at all. No where does it list the Toa Iruini, Toa
Norik,
or Combo Pack /together/. Toa Iruini is put in the Hordika section, and
the
Combo Pack is put in the Visorak section. Since we're getting close to the
Christmas season, making products in-acessable to users isn't too smart.
;)
Not all potential buyers will be going through the Bionicle website (which
links directly to the individual products in S@H).

I'm not sure what the US website for S@H is doing, maybe you should use
their "contact us" form and send them a query?  I know it has worked for me,
although you need to phrase your enquiry within a certain number of lines,
as the text box they have apparently takes only so many characters.

[snip]

I snipped the rest of your post because I don't get into the Bionicle line
itself.  There's not really a lot of useful parts in it to build large-scale
studless constructions.

I hope the comments above can help you resolve your issues with the S@H
website.

(...) Unlikely. All the Bionicle toys use them, and the shield is exactly the same (possibly even the same part in a different color) as the other Toa. Also, that doesn't explain why the combo pack is availabvle. (...) I'll try that, thanks. (19 years ago, 16-Oct-05, to lugnet.lego.direct)
