Luckily a mall in Dallas has a Lego Store!

Looking at that leaked store display, it seems they're returning to brown as the stone color. Didn't they stop using it in favor of orange after the Phantoka?

I think it was the Toa Inika, Hewki started using yellow instead of the go to brown he same thing again in his Mahri form as well as the that one Barakai Car.. something.

Right, I thought the Inika were after the Phantoka, and I completely forgot about the Mahri (shame on me, they used to be my favorite Toa team). Regardless, my point was that I find it odd that they're going back to brown.

My wallet will definitely hate me now. I still need to get the rest of the figures from 2001 - 2010!

Yep, brown has been very sparingly used since 2006. I think only one Hero Factory release used it... and the closest BIONICLE came after that point was in 2009 with the Vorox, who only had it as highlights and were primarily tan.

Supposedly it didn't sell well.

But they probably decided it was wroth trying again after so many years without it in the market... and, ya know, nostalgia will help sell too.
