In my not so humble opinion, bionicle is more of a theme toy like Castle, or
Aquazone, or (gasp) Belville.  Maybe a new category could be created for
toys like bionicle, throbots, and roboriders.  Toys which seem to have more
appeal as a collectable than as a building set.  I even have a suggestion
for the name: http://news.lugnet.com/garbage.

Only thing I am annoyed about is the complete lack of Technic sets at
retail, unless TLC combines it with Robotics.  I don't want any Robotics
with Tech, because I only want the Technic parts (or sets that ARE good
parts) that I can combine in interesting ways with the rest of the
Classic/System, etc LEGO.  Bionicle and ThroboRiders don't have that much
cross-theme usefulness.  I miss big 'ol boxes of beams, pins and axles
(etc).  Wah!
THAT is what sucks.
