Someone should start a petition to lego to bring back the once
vibrant diversity to its product line. Your voice counts!

Let me know where to sign up

First, if you're talking online petitions, they don't work.  Companies ignore
them, since it is too easy to sign, and too easy to fake signatures.  If you
really want to get them to change, you'd need to do a serious petition or
letter writing campaign, with tens of thousands of signatures, and that isn't
going to happen.  Besides, Bionicle is making loads of money, and if Galidor
isn't, I'd wager it is due to the show being drek, not Lego screwing up.

Second, since Bionicle is making them so much money, asking them to stop is
like asking oil companies to stop production of gasoline and go back to making
kerosene.  I'll say it again, if you don't like it, you don't have to buy it.
There are *plenty* of other sets with good parts for pretty much any theme you
want to build.

I never though I'd say this, being a lego fan so long, but all they've come
out with lately is pure bs.  If you like bionicle (scary) or GALIDOR (even
scarier) than I'm sorry, but what kind of idea was floating through their
heads when they made those?!

Um, perhaps they wanted to try something new?  Expand into new markets?  Most
companies try to do so, since it is a smart move; if it works, it means
increased revenue.

I'm not trying to be mean or disrespectful to anyone, but GALIDOR isn't even
made from normal LEGOs!  What good are they?!

That's not really the point.  They're not designed as Lego System toys; they're
action figures.  They do have technic pegs, though, so ARE usable with other
Lego products.  If you don't like them, you're not the target audience.  Let
those that do like them enjoy 'em, I say.
