GOOD!

Sorry to have obtruded on your sacrosanct purview. IOW: nice attitude.

I'm going to have to agree with Kyle on this one. A lot of people here have
been rather snobbish about the whole Bionicle thing. Not just because Lugnet
filed it under Technic, which frankly is where it belongs because Lego put it
there. No, many people are personally offended by its very existance. Between
that and the whole "technic sets don't have beams anymore" whining, it seems
everybody thinks Lego can do no right.

The reason Bionicle and technic should not be in the same group is because
thir is no cross-fertilisation between the two. Their is also an age gap
between the two products. All that happens is that our respective posts get
in each others way (a problem for newbies when they start up which is a
vulnerable time for keeping people intereseted).

I don't read Bionicle posts and I assume they don't read technic one's all
this for the sake of mirroring Lego's hierachy.

(...) I'd have to say lugnet.build.mecha is the missing piece between technic and bionicle and quite frankly I find the Mechas utterly cool! I'm even building my own right now.
