Here is my opinion on this matter. Lego should be able to keep the products on store shelves under the original names. A language is a language, whether it be English, German, Esperanto, or Maori.

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 (...)
