Okay, i think i have to announce this. Im a bionicle nut. Bionicle is absolute
junk now after they went and ripped the plot to shreds, but i still collect old
bionicle and i still flame the new junk their making. So i just thought i would
confess that im a Castle lover and a Bionicle lover.

Boycott time! How about this: TLC returns itself and all its lines to its former
glory. Face it- if you think this is bad, how about this? All of TLC is falling
apart. I just got my new S@H and its totally destroyed- its design and its
contents are little more then plastic scrap.

Beh, go into buying some Warhammer (www.games-workshop.com) miniatures or
something. Its a good alternate way to spend lotsa money.

Ive been begging them for some line that isnt Legend and doesnt mix the
following stuff: Stupid, Technic, Dumb, System, moronic, Duplo, idiocy, and
Bionicle. As far as i can tell *flips through new S@H* Everything in here exept
Legend is a perfect mix of the above listed.

20 cm? Coolness! Finially, something i can add to my bionicle collection. Maby
something like "Warriors from Metru-Nui" or "Lords of Chaos" or something like
that which can terrorize my bionicles....But other then the above uses, i dont
see how in the world this even remotely resembles Lego Castle.

Dont count on seeing that. I think that TLC will soon become nothing but
Bionicle, Promotions (Galidor ETC) and Creator sets (bugs, etc). Sad, Sad.

Mmm. Lets just say i have been dissapointed with all of TLC for the last year
and a half. Crummy website, Crummy toy lines, Crummy magazine, Crummy comics,
Crummy Plots- Pretty soon all of our community will be buried in crumbs.
