Here's my full works. Read The Hevakena Championship or The Prophecy of the Lost Toa. They're the best of the bunch. TT

Toa Toran is the name I invented for the 2006 Toa. They are Jaller, Kongu, Nuparu, Matoro, Hahli and Hewkii. Not the Voya-Nui Matoran. TT

Hey - quit being like that to Dark1, lego2000. There's no need. Not sure if this has changed much...but here's my new list. The Piraka (

It doesn't focus on E-F here. I joined, basically just to publicize my writing.... TT

I don't care how, I want it now! :oD I really can't wait for these sets. Not sure I get the sets only being half of the building - is one side open like the Castle of Morcia? The Krusty Krab might not be as good like that. Spongebob and Plankton will rock, though. Can't wait! TT

I am definately to get the Spongebob/Plankton sets, and it's VERY probable I'll get the others. Thanks Sam! TT

Well, seeing as this review was originally written for BZP, it should be fine. TT
-
After looking about, I see this was posted on BZP. For BBC 23. Disqualified, though, which is a shame. I like it though! TT

Did you post this on BZP ages ago? There was another moc called Wideload... TT

The joint is just the same as putting a rod through a + hole. Same stiffness. TT

THE BOX The the most superficial part of any LEGO product, but the one that often determines whether or not the set is a success or failure. Well, this artwork certainly jumps out at you. It's very similar to the Piraka and Matoran boxes, though rather more powerful, with a layer of lava and rocks behind Axonn. On the reverse is some neat artwork of Axonn in a heroic pose, with Brutaka's shadow behind him. The instructions for the combiner model at the bottom of the box will, sadly, only be online. WHAT'S IN THE BOX? So you've bought it and taken it home (or at least made it to the car), punched the perforated tabs and dump out the contents. What do you get for your money? http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Tilius/A...n/boxinside.jpg Well, it's the usual instruction booklet, and three bags of pieces. The instructions have Vezon and Fenrakk in the back, along with the Piraka, Brutaka and the combiner. THE BRICKS Here's where we start to cut to the heart of the matter. You didn't buy this box for all the glossy booklets & creative artwork. You want to know about the LEGO bricks & bits that are included, and what (if any) new & interesting parts you'll find inside. Here's also where I'll talk about any new and/or interesing pieces that you will encounter. There's a decent selection of parts in here. New parts include Axonn's mask, a 'tube', Axonn's axe blades and a red Piraka body. All the red in the set is Metru red, too. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Tilius/A...Axonn/parts.jpg There is also a new ball-joint. It�s similar to the regular joint, but with a hole through it for + rods. There's also a new '5'ish rod with a circle at the end, which restricts to rod from being pulled out the other way. The armour included is also a sort of pearl. Above is a comparison between the pearl armour on the left, and the regular armour on the right. BUILDING EXPERIENCE What can you expect while putting this model together? The building didn't take very long for a set of this price. Axonn is a basic Toa with a Piraka body, more armour and a whopping great axe. I still think the set is great, but I expected more parts and an overall larger model. PLAYING EXPERIENCE So you've got the model together, but is it more like playing with a block of wood or an interactive toy? It may surprise you to hear that Axonn actually has no axonn, sorry, action feature. While some may dislike this, I think it�s a step in the right direction. It means the figure can be posed more, and, in my opinion, have more playability. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Tilius/A...n/axonnback.jpg Axonn's back, as with most sets, is nothing too special. I might have liked some armour on here though, such as a Metru Matoran body. Cleverly, the rubber bar at the neck actually keeps the shoulder armour in place. You may be worried that the tubes that run from the heel to above the knee would restrict that Axonn's leg posibility. These actually help Axonn's knee to be sturdy enough to hold the rest of his body. The pipes can use the new '5' rod to lower or heighten Axonn's stance. Like this, Axonn's knee is bent. And like this, he is stood straight up. This is how Axonn compares to a Toa Nuva when his leg tubes are fully extended. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Tilius/A...n/axonntahu.jpg OVERALL Here's where it all boils down to whether the model is worth your money and time or not. This guy is pretty cool. The only thing that bothers me is his overall size. I just don't think the size is good enough for a set of this price. Other than that, though, there's little to complain about. He is really quite posable, and is pretty fun to pose, too. As you can see, as Axonn goes all 'King Kong' on the equally brilliant #8877 Vladek's Dark Fortress. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Tilius/A...onnkingkong.jpg I'm pretty fond of Axonn, and, although I can see a few people disliking him, once you have the set, I think you'll change your mind. I'd personally like to see him stay with the Toa Nuva throughout the next few years. Also, check out my Brickshelf for more pictures. TT

So, can I go now? 1) It has three male minifigures. 2) It has wheels. 3) It fires things. 4) It includes at least one flag. Not too hard, I don't think... TT

Yes, but these admins also have lives. TT

'Tis called...revenge. TT

It is actually way bigger than Jango's....it might get a buy in next years January sales. TT

Here it is - the first Avatar set! :oD Mini TT :P

Aye. I'll be keeping a log of any Batman pictures in there, so if you misplace a link, you can just go there, and they'll hopefully be there... TT

A kid was just on Stars in their Eyes, and in his sorta 'profile', it showed him building Toa Iruini, then went over his collection (such as the Exo-Toa, Muaka etc. He also said there was 130 but I own virtually every set and have 90 sets....), and he said something like "I really like these models...you build them yourself, and people also build their own things..." It's that "and people also build their own things" bit, and the range of set dates (2001 to 2005 - he's a long-term fan) which makes me think he may well be on a Lego forum somewhere. In the show, he was Donny Osmond. Anyone know who this guy is? TT

No. The whole image but the mask is re-coloured Tahu artwork from the 2001 instruction booklets. I don't know why you thought it was a Pohatu body when the body in the picture it the right way round.... TT
