| | Will LEGO Media stop making non-violent games?
|

I used to think that the LEGO Company promoted non-violence. Most of their games do. But why then, did they put the explosion function in LEGO Creator and LEGO Creator Knights Kingdom?

A NEAT RACER SET! It comes with a transparent-blue crystal! It appears the thing the Racers are jumping over swallows them if they hit the net. If I get this set I'll probably replace the black ball on Kopaka's chest ((URL) ) with that crystal. NICK (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.announce, lugnet.technic.bionicle)
