I don't see much in Insectoids. The main reason is that they have so many
specialized pieces. If they built the same shapes with the pieces they had
five years ago, I would be all for them. Lego can't really go anywhere with
Ninja, what other subthemes can they introduce? I would like to see (though I
am a Christian) big Chinese templish things with the pointy roofs built out of
individual bricks, enclosed except for the back, like classic sets. If they
built an oriental community with various buildings and the Dojo (isn't that
what they call the Ninja training places?), that would be really cool. Insert
Chris Farley flying out of control through the plane of enlightenment. :)

| (...) I dunno. They've got the legos, which would be more useful if they were movable, but still can be applied elsewhere. And the wings are pretty special-purpose, but they look cool anyway. :) What other specialized pieces are you referring to? (26 years ago, 25-Oct-98, to lugnet.general)
