OK, thanks for the references. I'm all up to date now. I would have seen all this Maori controversy if I had not actually been in Polynesia at the time. In my opinion they (the tribes claiming damages) are claiming far too much specificity. This (...) (25 years ago, 10-Jul-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)

(...) The Rahi. Good, they're finally coming out. The S@H catalog has Muaka and Kane-Ra at $70, so I guess TRU is skewing the prices a little high. The mask boxes are $3 at TRU compared to $2.50 on S@H too. And yeah, they're all expensive except for (...) (25 years ago, 10-Jul-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)

When Kila arrived at Lu'ukia's residence in Tahiti Nui, he called out: "My greetings to you, Lu'ukia." "Who are you?" said Lu'ukia. "I am Kila of the uplands, Kila of the lowlands, Kila-pa-Wahineikamalanai! I am the offspring of Mo'ikeha." "Is (...) (25 years ago, 10-Jul-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)

I've noticed that Star Wars laser cannons make pretty good mask holders. The small end has a hollow stud that can hold a mask. The laser cannons can stand-on-end on a 1x1 attached to a baseplate, or stick straight out from a wall. -gyug (25 years ago, 10-Jul-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)
