Just bought Tahu and Lewa on Amazon. Should arrive by this time next week. The question is, which one do I build first? Tahu. Be sure to cherish your time building him, because I will admit, building my Kopaka figure brought me back to when I first built him as a Toa Nuva about 12 years ago. I'll be posting my surviving Bionicle collection soon, showing height comparisons between the 2001, 2002, 2004, and 2015 sets.

I'll leave Lewa (so glad it's pronounced Lee-Wah instead of Lay-wah now) until second because he was always my favourite. That's kind of the 'best till last' rule. My only remaining sets are the Toa Inika as far as I remember. They're all in the attic now.

Back when I first got the Inika, I got Hahli and my brother got Nuparu, but never opened it. Flash forward to last year, my mom's having a garage sale and pulls a Toy Story 2 on me, accidentally selling my Hahli toy. She said she's gonna try to get me another one for my birthday in March, which is good since they're about $15-25on ebay with the case and instructions.

The original Toa Mata go for about $82 on amazon, just pray you never need one of those.

The most expensive I've seen are the Toa Mahri, with Hahli going for about $70.

I had some years ago, I always really liked the design of them although all I really remember about the ones I had was that they had a small green head under the top helmet/head. I think.

The first image Jake posted were the Inika's heads, and the second were the brains of the Bohorok, the bad guys that came in the 2002 and 2003 sets.

Wasn't sure what the slugs where, I just remembered having them.

So apparently This new line of Bionicle will be following the release schedule of the original 10 toy lines, with the first set being released every January, and the second set in July. No information about the summer sets yet, except that they may possibly be remakes of the Bohrok from the 2002 line. Also, Bionicle is set to run initially for a three year trial run. If LEGO is able to sell over 5 million Bionicles in that time span, they will continue the line indefinitely.

They're all "Skull" sets, which I can understand considering the heroes outweigh the villains at the moment: Not sure who found them but I remember someone saying the set numbers add up. There's only 5 sets but if you factor in the Lord of Skull Spiders it makes 6 villains against the 6 heroes.
