So, I remember reading that there were apparently a whopping thousand years between the Great Rescue and the Arrival of the Toa Mata. I don’t know why but that alone fascinated me, causing me to imagine the sort of adventures that could happen on the island during that time. When I discovered and played the earlier Bionicle games, it sort of rekindled my love for the lore. I guess this collection is sort of a way to live through a time I was never a part of (because I was a toddler at the time), and a few months ago, I was obsessed with scouring the Bricklink pages to build what I could of the inhabitants of Mata Nui.
For now, it’s just a couple of Matoran, an Ussal with a cart, and a group of Rahi, but hopefully I’ll be able to pick this up again. I already have a Google Doc listing parts I want to get and who I want to build, and even have parts for a Stone Rat I want to finish someday. I just have to be aware of my budget. ^ ^"
My favorite’s gotta be the Ussal and cart. That fits in perfectly with the rest of the MNOG vibe, and it’s a shame we didn’t get a set of something like this in one form or another.
If we see a Bionicle G3, I’d like to see a return of the old Technic functions and all that stuff… It’s really what set Bionicle apart from a theme like Ninjago.
That cart is so cool! Like Ghid, it’s my favorite build here. It looks like it could have been in an actual set!
