This missesthe point. I am a castle builder. I dont need bionicle pieces when
making a castle. Just because the pieces exist, i should not have to use them.
Why make something from bad pieces when pieces suitted to my theme are
available. Castles were made of stones adn bricks and wood, not legs or claw
pieces. As far as the comment about other themes needing pieces, they have sets
to take pieces from. Town has sets, SW has sets, they get new sets too, castle
has been a while without anything new. I suppose now, if we are short on
minifigs, we could build huge armies of BF but whats the point if all they can
fight are toa's. Its not about creativity, its about having tools to make
something work. One doesnot build a bionicle out of basic bricks just as one
doesnt build a castle out of bionicle masks. I have built castle long enough to
realize what i need. i have built much over the past years with very little
castle sets but still, for the job, they are the best. To say we should just
make do, because we can use pieces from other themes leads to the question, why
bother having themes at all? Its to have the right parts for the right job. I
dont build a porsche out of toothpicks even if they are more
available.Bioniclers (is that what you call yourselves?) must realize that we
are castlers, we have different needs, you have your theme, we want ours.
