When BIONICLE accounts for 25% of all LEGO product turnover, investing a little
space in special items for that powerful market hardly counts as "squandering"
space. It might surprise you to know that the biggest complaint about them is
not that they're made in the first place, but that the range is incredibly
limited. Only five tools have been released in child-sized foam-rubber form,
out of a whopping total of 144 possible subjects (not counting any of the ones
that come with Matoran or Bohrok Va sets, or any as-yet-unreleased tools like
the Vahki blades). No masks or other body parts have been released either, and
there's a serious demand for BIONICLE halloween costumes that has been going
unfilled for too long as it is. The only way they're squandering that space is
by not expanding the range of tools offered. Many kids are very loyal to their
favorite elements, and when offered the choice between a Fire tool and an Earth
tool, will walk away and wait for the day when they can buy a Stone, Air, Water,
or Ice tool.
