Christina, We touched on this a while ago ((URL) but since these articles are new, we won't feed you to the Nui Rama... I particularly like the phrase from the New Zealand paper's coverage, where the Maori accuse LEGO of "cultural and linguistic (...) (25 years ago, 31-May-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)

(...) I'm kinda suprised by this. The US has only just started to get Bionicle and they already have Makuta's beasts? I haven't seen em anywhere in the UK,same for the card game.

Just some observations as I was putting together all the Toa I bought. The Toa are better figures in general, they stand taller, the maks make for cooler heads, and the giant weapons they have are much more impressive, but at the same time there is (...)
