I agree with Adrian somewhat. I'll be first in line to criticize Galidor
and second in line for Bionicle specialty parts (like the masks) but these
seem to be half decent.
I don't like all the new molds they had to make to put out these parts,
though. I see almost totally new parts. I wish they would quit wimping out
and saying "oh, don't have a part to fit there? just design a new one!" and
instead try rebuilding and retrofitting to work with the pieces there. I
guess it's just a result of Juniorization, but still...kids these days
aren't total dummies. Sure, I'd say kids these days are more juniorized
than they were twenty years ago, but that doesn't mean they are incapable
of putting a couple score parts together.
