Two Great Foes — Description
Anyone who remembers Bionicle 2001-2003 as well as I do will remember Makuta and the Bohrok swarms. They were the greatest threats to the Toa Mata/Nuva and to the island of Mata Nui in general.

The Bahrag twins set was my first really complicated Lego set, keeping me up until 1 AM to finish them. I bought them on clearance on January 23, 2003. During that time, I was always unsure about buying "complicated" lego sets. Granted, while I have since encountered other complicated lego sets (2008 vehicles, I'm staring at you), this convinced me that I could indeed build complicated looking sets.

Because of them, I happily bought Teridax on December 26th of the same year. Not as complicated but I thought he was great... until I realized he had trouble standing up. And that he was short compared to sets from 2005 and on. So naturally I took my original Teridax and modified him over a course of 7 years, from 2005 to today.

So here are the Toa Mata's greatest foes. The Bahrag, while they looked so much bigger in the comics and CGI teasers for the Toa Nuva, are not much bigger than the Toa Mata. Teridax, as tall as 2008 Takanuva, towers over them. However, I think he might had a little trouble with them. A little.
