Well, if that's the crap they're going to be selling at McD in Sept, then
they'll get no money from me this time around (I routinely spend well over
$200 on McD food when they get Lego).

What useless chunks of plastic.

I feel sorry for those people that just absolutely must have every • Bionicle
item ever produced.  You'll be spending outrageous amounts of money for • SPUDs.



I am with you on this one Tom.  Had the promo been regular LEGO bricks of
one form or another I would have picked up a bunch of them.  I probably
bought more than 50 total the last time around (the McD's near me didn't
require a food purchase to get them).  I'll pick up a couple but probably
only when I take my kids to McD's.

For some reason the Bionicle line reminds me of Pokemon with a more
recognized brand name behind it.  While LEGO may make a bunch of money on
it, I am not sure the long term association and disdain that many parents I
know have for Pokemon is what they really want.
