Ah, you must mean the Lame Parts contest.

Yeah, Allister did set up a webpage for the winners at one point, but the link he posted is dead.

To a certain extent. As with regular System, BIONICLE has pieces that are tremendously useful (Bohrok eye) and parts that are not so useful (McToran throwing arm). Dismissing the entire range of parts shows a refusal to excercise one’s imagination, but even those of us who build primarily with BIONICLE pieces have our favored parts and our not-so-favored parts.
