LEGO Bionicle Toa Kopaka 2015 - no gold!

A look through a LEGO Catalog from 1993!
Been awhile since I last did one of these. Warning: Long & rambly!
LEGO Bionicle: Old vs. New compared!
Enter: The Controversy! In this video I dare to pit the new CCBS-based Bionicle series against the original 2001 Toa, as well as representatives from later years, addressing the question, "Which is better?" To keep things simple, I focus on just the Toa of Air over the years, though I also bring in a few other sets at an applicable point. If you like what the video visually shows, even if you don't agree with all of my opinions, please share & discuss it with others!

LEGO City Starter Set review! set 60086
My last review of a LEGO City "starter set" was back in the middle of 2013, when I was still terrible at this stuff. Somehow, for some reason, that video has gotten over 2 million views. My apologies to those 2 million viewers for how long-winded I was back then! Hopefully this new one is more palatable.
