(...) My personal favorites would be 1989 and 1995 because these were the years where two major "flagship" sets were released within the same year. (1981 was probably another year, but I was not around then) 1989 had the 8854 Power Crane and the (...) (23 years ago, 4-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic)

That's pretty cool Dave! I especially like the jet pack.

Thanks Benjamin, I appreciate the input. The #3 pieces (if that's what you mean) come in several different colors. I have black, beige and white. I don't know if they come in other colors or not.

Feeling truely inspired by Mark Chan's Super Toa- (URL) I decided to tackle the one I didn't see: Onua. Oddly enough, I had the prototype jetpack built months before Onua was even available. I had no idea it would become part of this creation. The (...) (23 years ago, 4-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)

(...) I've only ever found 1 of the UK foil packet versions opened, and I don't believe for a minute that kids over here are any less hooligan than kids in the USA!
