Not to go off on a tangent, but I would say that that is a large part of many
people's complaints about Bionicle.  Most (all?) Bionicle pieces do not directly
connect to traditional bricks and plates.  This makes them generally useless to

to incorporate very odd pieces into "traditional" brick-and-plate creations,
e.g. Jon Furman's Alphabet Wing project, but I'm saying in general.  2)  I've
got no complaint with Bionicle myself, I just recognize that it is a seperate
line than the things I want to buy and build.  To promise us Castle and give us
Bionicle is a bit disappointing.

(...) But who are you going to blame? The toy or the peole making the toy? People who blame it on Bionicle are placing the blame on a item of plastic. How is plastic the same as a person? If you do not want to buy it then thats fine, nobody is (...) (21 years ago, 15-Nov-03, to lugnet.castle)
