I actually caught part of that lame thread. Seems to me that some of the other Lugneters are confussed either by the difference between Bionicle & Avatars or Bionicle and Mecha. Maybe they are simply confussed in general??? I don't really know nor (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
