When looking at my creations, one may note a certain lack of complexity in them. One reason is my general lack of parts, which while limiting what I can build, forces me to be creative with what I have on hand. Another reason is a lack of time. I am going to college, and the place I am staying is not a bionicle friendly environment, so I can only build when I go home. But the main reason behind my simple Bionicles is my devotion to the originals. Most of my pieces are held up in sets they came as. I love the characters, and hate to see any go, even going so far as to resurrect the deceased. And when I rebuild or modify existing sets, I try to stay loyal to their former looks. When I built the Arch Toa Nuva for instance, I tried to make them look like updated version of the original Toa Nuva, as compared to the Phantoka and Mistika who for the most part looked nothing like the originals.

By the way, I have almost no one to talk to about Bionicles, so I am considering writing the adventures of my Bionicles in this blog to vent some of my ideas, and I would be overjoyed by any input on my blogs or creations.
