Could you do a MOC up of LB?
So does any one know what happened to the recent reviews? They haven’t done one in a month and Onua+Terak, Kopaka and Melum along with Umarak still haven’t been reviewed.
Im posting this hear bcause its sort of reliant to 2016 and I could find a recent reviews topic.
No, it’s likely so that if a builder has put the smaller sized bone in the wrong place, this will let them know so they don’t end up with a wrongly built set.
I think it’s a stop, so the leg doesn’t bend too far back.

I don’t think so because lego have done this on other places like skull warrior’s torso. I’m pretty sure it’s to help younger builders distinguish what goes where.

The weird thing is though is that it tells you to put the pin in the leg after you build the ammo clip and put it on.
The bone bends back the same amount no matter what and in this case the armor piece on the upper leg prevents it from going to far.

Wasn’t that for the combiner? Plus that was so last year. /s
It works on tahu, who has it on both legs.

Nope, I just checked the combiner instructions and that piece wasn’t used at all in it.
They also use half pins on UtD’s feet so the younger kids don’t connect the protector feet to the beast feet the wrong way

I just got Gali and it’s great! I only wish the arms had a little more movement.

They did it on LOSS too, but there was no reason what so ever for it, it was just there. It could only have been to help with the build process.
"United, but not one."
Could this imply that the Toa can be united, but not have to share the same element of an Elemental Creature to unite?
“United (in Unity), but not one (specific power over an element).”
Whereas the Mask of Ultimate Power has all six elements forged into one mask (implying it has control over the six elements), the power of two elements are in two masks, which can be united in Unity form.
For example, Kopaka could combine with (let’s just say) Akida and have control over another element. The Uniter Mask would hold the power of Ice, and Akida’s Creature Mask would hold the power of Water, balancing the Elemental Powers.
Just a thought…

That’s the most appealing pile of mess I’ve seen in my life

Has anyone noticed how these combiners…actually make the characters (Tahu, Kopaka) look like their 2015 selves? Like Kopaka gets the giant pauldrons back and then some with the white Melum paw behind his head, his calves are bulky again, his upper thighs use that large shell, but rather than having white, it’s metru blue, the arms are also designed in the way his '15 arms were designed. Similarly, Tahu kinda gets his gundam-style swords back…though they look terrible this time around, the bell-bottom look is reversed on his lower legs, the upper thigh armour has returned to the way it was placed in '15 Tahu, the arms are very similar to his '15 incarnation…but obviously the weapons are not at all for both figures alike to their '15 counterparts…although I’d argue maybe Kopaka’s are more like his '15 version weapons. Interesting to see this though, perhaps it means we might be returning to those set designs next year with some different looks? Or likely it’s just for these models that we get this.
Also I cannot stress how much I adore that scissor blade thing. It’s fantastic.

Not a fan of the combiners, seeing further images of them just makes the odd colour schemes and strange additions seem more confusing. Such as giving Kopaka a monocle for no reason.
That not actually possible currently, mostly because we don’t have the middle ribcage piece in gold (as far as i am aware) Other than that its probably possible to replicate that to an extent, though it would require sacrificing a Mask Of Control and a Mask Of Creation and wouldn’t be exact.
Feel you are taking things too physically rather than metaphorically. Uniting doesn’t have to be a physical joining between the two That was the point of Journey To One with Pohatu where he realised that physical uniting was not what was needed, but a bond between friends
The ‘United, but not one’ line likely refers to the following;
Mask Of Ultimate Power didn’t work because it was ‘one’ trying to use the powers of all six elements.
The Toa meanwhile can work as six individuals each using one of the powers allowing them full control over it, and then combine their powers. In essence the following scene (Time stamped for ease of use)
Essentially the line is telling of the arrival of the Toa, 6 heroes that will be able to unite the elements by the EACH controlling only one element, yet working together. It is most likely how they will defeat Makuta when they eventually face him, together, using the power of unity.

You want to know why the half pin is there?
To increase the piece count.
That’s why.

I think the twotoa are really cool, I can’t build either of them because I don’t have tahu or gali so that sucks. But I don’t understand why people don’t like them and feel more reasoning should be expressed.

"The pins are part of the building flow. 
Just like the pins behind the legs. "

I know it is too early to speak about this but I kind of have the feeling that Lego is saving ideas for a real big deal for 2017 guys.
