Hi Eric, excellent reply! I couldn't have said that better! The guys that complain about the "collectible system" itself won't buy the masks anyway (and nobody asks them to do so). I don't complain about that thing, I knew about that before having (...) (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.dear-lego)

Say, for example, that the Red Oni mask (I don't know any real Bionicle names, sorry) is (...) (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.dear-lego)

Have a chat with Quentin Wilson. He got things moving for the UK car-prices rip-off. Organise LEGO shopping trips to the continent (or Ireland, slightly cheaper than Holland, which is similar to Germany. Don't know about other countries). ;-) Duq (...)

Old good, new bad. The rest is blah-blahs. I agree with all of it, of course. Aside: They'll never bring back the old expensive box styles. One reason 90-piece System sets are still ten bucks (the same price as in the 70s and 80s....Lego deserves (...) (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)

What is the real purpose behind the sale of SO many different Bionicle masks? Is there a game coming up where each mask has some ability? Why are the masks sold in such a way that you can't tell what mask you're getting? Is this a simple marketing (...) (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.dear-lego)
