(...) They take 'em to the school yard and have their little matches sometimes. I don't know much about the Bionicle, but with the elastics and triggers and stuff on some--they try to knock each others masks off. At home my nephew keeps his Bionicle (...)

(...) What about the new / replacement colors is "low quality" ??? Is the ABS used in those colors of lesser quality than the "old" greys? Or are you just upset that LEGO is following the lead of another company? James Wilson Dallas, TX (22 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

(...) A question, just because I'm curious: Are they fans of Bionicle to *play* with, or to *collect*? Do the sets get used, or are they just built and set on a shelf somewhere? I've been in too many stores where I heard some kid point out a (...) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)

This may come as a surprise to many people, but one of my hobbies is creating things with LEGO bricks. Shocked? I know that my parents still are, and this after 30+ years of me playing with the 'Automatic Binding Brick'. It's my chosen hobby--a (...) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.general) !

(...) Thank heavens I'm from San Gabriel Valley, Brucey-Wan. :-) And I'm with Leonard - it's a sick joke on Lego's part if the picture he posted is correct. All we can do is hope that it will go the way of Gallidor as quickly as possible. (...) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, FTX)
