a) When should I put my order in for a Metroliner? Other than the obvious answer of "Now!" but when are they shipping? b) I was at McDonalds today with said coworker and they have Bionicle happy meals now. However, they very much appear to suck.

(...) Actually, I believe that was the intent of TLG... They wanted to break into the 'Action Figure' market. Anyway, I still like the design of Onua (URL) the various new Technic parts are always useful! -Richard ‘who still doesn’t think he’s a (...) (23 years ago, 11-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Of course if you already have more than 2, the inclination to purchase a Legend set is greatly diminished....that being said, I will still do what most of you guys are doing and order the deluxe kit and an extra club car. I think a train set (...) (23 years ago, 11-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I still think the Bionicle toys, especially from McDonald's are cute.... regardless what you say!!!! I do agree that Ka-On's creation was not only very cool, but also extremely nicely designed. Benjamin Medinets (23 years ago, 12-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Fair enough. Leave the Bionicle to those of use who find them useful, then. I promise to leave the metroliners alone. Better a small, low cost technic set with useful new parts than another overpriced old train with the same useless parts (...)

(...) The unusual thing is that the Bionicle toys from McDonalds don't seem to have ANY Technic parts from what I can see through the display case. They're...REALLY UGLY. They don't look like Lego at all, unlike Bionicle, which seems to have some (...) (23 years ago, 12-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Overpriced Train set??? Useless parts....Whoa....back the truck up. I don't see the big craze with Bionical, and if you are big into lego mecha, I would find that the TOA sets and the LOM mecha sets are pretty good. I wouldn't associate the (...)

(...) Perhaps I should explain what I meant by overpriced train set. I have yet to see a train set priced in the $25-$30 range that was 'ready to go'. I've rarely purchased any set that retails for more than $50 based on the principle that no toy (...) (23 years ago, 12-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.technic.bionicle)

(...) Agreed. The highlight of Technic were the Universal sets, but they aren't made anymore so we need to deal with that. Using the new Technic parts to the best of our ability might not be as relaxing as building with the older stuff, but I (...) (23 years ago, 12-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.technic)
