(...) I'm glad you liked them. When you say copy, do you intend to try for an exact copy? Or just copy their flavor and make your own variations? Either's cool with me, although if you make variations, I'd be keen to see pictures. I'll try to keep (...) (21 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Ugh. However... to me these look like an extension of the Galidor line, not the Bioncle line as rumored. Knowing that the larger Lego corporate entity (not Lego Direct) takes a long time to develop a product line...perhaps development and (...) (21 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.technic)

I started a bit of a flame war between castle heads and Bionical, and that was never the intention. I may not personally like Bionical sets, but that doesn't mean they were "useless" or ill-conceived. The sale of Bionical has brought TLC back into (...) (21 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle)

William, I do not know if boycoting is the way to go. Its only six sets like the original Bionicle Toa they are testing the market. If lego sees that castle themed sets sell they will eventualy have to make homes for these extra large knights. Extra (...) (21 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) What makes you think they'll make castles? They never made homes for any of the Bionicle. Oh, and if you don't like them, don't buy them. Is there really the need to be so dramatic about it? Adrian (21 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle)

Do you really think you need to tell people to boycot them? I think that will happen on its own. It would be like telling people to not eat dirt--it's completely unneccesary. (21 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Cool! I can't wait to start building! I have been really busy of late and haven't had much Lego time, but now I have some time again. I think this will be awesome. Way to go, guys! Still building, Josh (21 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) Hi Tamy, First, the castle figs are NOT Bionicle (note its spelled B-I-O-N-I-C-L-E, not "bionukel" as you so rudely spelled it). Second I find your lack of respect for a different Lego line very disappointing. You may not like Bionicle items - (...) (21 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle)

Now that we have seen the new Castle sets we know they are not Bionicle sets. So can the Bionicle bashing stop now? I know Bionicle may not be very well loved here on Lugnet - but bashing and mocking is not cool. I hope we are all adults here, and I (...) (21 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle)
