Whats happened to rahi? Bionicles use vehicals now which makes bionicle to well..................... modern.

Story-wise, they're still everywhere. 2007 had probably the largest quanity of Rahi in story next to 2001 and perhaps 2005 -- Barraki armies, remember?

Set-wise, we had fair number of them last year, too -- the Hydruka, Spinax, the Hahnah crab with Jaller, and of course big ol' Gadunka. This year, being the climax of the story thus far, focuses mainly on the Toa, Makuta, and Matoran, and besides, Karda Nui's not a hospitable place for Rahi. Still there are a few, like the Brickmaster Klakk.

So in short, they're still there, but usually Toa and villain sets (and apparently vehicles too) sell better. Next year looks pretty wild in terms of setting though, and already there's Skirmix. So keep your hopes up.

Yeah it is a shame they seemed to have vanished. Even if they weren't the main focus of the story but still had some cool parts like back in the metru nui day, I'd be cool with that. Oh, and I'll argue the Barraki armies because frankly, minus the takea sharks, we rarely got descriptions of them or really saw them in combat. They were background fodder even though they were the main bad guys minions. It would be like starwars without getting descripions of the storm troopers.

Yeh ,they are still everywhere but not as obviously rahi anymore.
