The "Look What I Just Got!" Topic

Got the MoUP designed by @Cyber-Hand in the mail from Shapeways today. Really loving it. I’m glad I finally have some sense of closure for Gen 2 after its premature cancellation.

HAUL TIME!
Unfortunately, all of them were missing at least one piece.

In order of arrival:

The Manas.
Not pictured: Box and instructions for the orange one.
Missing: Both Ruru and one Komau.

The Tarakava.
Not pictured: Box and both instruction manuals.
Missing: Pakari and Technic panel for the blue one’s left arm.

Gali Mistika.
Not pictured: Instructions.
Missing: One Metru blue Visorak limb and one ghostblaster ammo. Contacted the seller to find out if they could send them to me.
EDIT: They’re sending me the upper arm but say that they never got the second ammo when they bought the set and never contacted LEGO about replacing it.

And last, but certainly not least…

Matoro Mahri. :cry:
Not pictured: Canister (both plastic and cardboard parts)
Missing: One Cordak missile. Replaced by one I had from Lesovikk (he succumbed to his socket injuries a week after his purchase in late 2013).

Matoro has always been my favorite BIONICLE character, so I’m glad that after all these years, I finally have him as part of my collection. In honor of the greatest Toa who ever lived, here’s my favorite non-death scene quote about Matoro:

Because anything you are asked to do — even if it’s hard, or painful, or you hate having to do it — you get done. Look, Matoro, back on Voya Nui you once questioned your worth to the team because you aren’t a warrior. But being a Toa isn’t about who’s strongest or toughest or has the best mask power. It’s about spirit. And by that measure, you are a great Toa.” - Jaller, BIONICLE Legends #8: Downfall

Oh yeah and here’s my progress on Makuta:

Built from LoSS, MMvsSG, both Umarak’s, and various pieces from my collection that are also included in the sets I still need.

I got these at my local supermarket.


The First Order Snowspeeder was at half-price.

Went shopping for more Legos. At a store that primarily sells games and electronics. No idea why they sell Lego too, but it’s a bit cheaper than going to Toys 'R Us so I can’t complain.

The TIE Fighter is the first System set I’ve bought in years, and it was at a discounted price too! Also got Umarak the Destroyer, which is the one summer set I wanted the most. Also got a second Ikir since I need to get the sets required to build Makuta.

Today was a good day.

Oh if I had 20 bucks right now I could get 2003 Makuta and Takanuva from the interwebz. :cry:

Not like I get any money at this moment. Currently live at my family home (cause faculty life is expensive and lucky to have it in my city). Oh if I had something save, I would definitely get these before I got Umarak the Hunter and Ekimu vs Kulta.

Guy I know was after some Clone Wars minifigures, said he’d be willing to trade them for the set. Had a load of clones, he took 'em and I got this :slight_smile:

May the bank for closure be with you my friend. You do us a great service. This is an homage to end all homages.
