It's an interesting application, but I believe that roughly the same
effect can be achieved with a plain old friction pin. This many not be
as simple as using one of the new ball-with-cross-axle-hole parts,
though.
I got myself a bionicle myself, and I'm fairly happy with it. I'm a bit
put off by the large torso element, but all in all the new parts are
fairly interesting.
Do anybody know how the transparent "eye-and-brain" element can be taken
off the "face" element? Once connected, they appear to be stuck
forever.
I have the blue figure, which has a transparent "mask" element. Do all
Bionicles have transparent masks? I kinda prefer the opaque ones, I
think.
The can also included one of those small CD-ROM's. It has some
nice movies (albeit in QuickTime-format) and some info about the "story"
around the Bionicles. The software is buggy, of course, but not to the
point where it cannot be run. It did hang my system, though, but
luckily simply uninstalling it fixed the problems.

| Hi all, well I do already own all six Bionicle sets that are available so far. The smaller ones are backordered for me and will ship in April. As for the masks, a retailer has told me that he'd already have some and will send me several bags next (...) (24 years ago, 26-Jan-01, to lugnet.general)
