Dear Lego I think you've made a big mistake on the new crane truck using a bionicle hook rather than the metal Technic hook that already exists. (URL) spoil the look of a set for the sake of one part? Seem's to me like just another example of Lego's (...) (21 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

Steven makes an excellent point here. The Bionicle hook could not be more out of place. It looks ridiculous on an otherwise nice looking design/model. As for the color issue, I will beat that dead horse a bit more. There is a significant quantity of (...) (21 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

What a suprise Orion. Steven is right in line here. Lego in no way will respond to politeness. The only thing they will respond to is a reduction in sales, PERIOD. The more people that refuse to buy the 2004 sets the better! Greg "Orion Pobursky" (...) (21 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

Thank you Lego! The more I see of these sets the easier it will be not to buy any of them. Bionicle parts have no business in true Technic sets. They are different themes and should be kept that way!

I agree with Greg that not one of these sets looks good to me either. I miss brick beams. I also think the fairing pieces in place of brick beams actually detract from the model. It doesn't look as "solid" as the old stuff. The two metal hooks in (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.general)

Looks to me that it's a good thing it's a common color so I can get a somewhat decent heap of it. Not that I don't prefer classic gray but if I'll need to restock a new/changed color I prefer if it's common. (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)
