   (...) I would have agreed with this, if it weren't for Bionicles. These aren't pacifist machines. They look like the result of some marketing study that concluded "kids like fighting robots". There are other new products in their line up with the (...) (24 years ago, 19-Mar-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

        Re: Lego Mechspo —Bryce McGlone
   (...) I'm torn here. I agree that Lego should in some ways "bite the bullet" and just admit what we all know anyway and make some mechs. However part of me likes that Lego doesn't do mecha.

I can only imagine vast lego displays at the Las Vegas Convention Center... A Mechspo web gallery (...) (24 years ago, 21-Mar-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
