True, I think we will lose a generation of AFOL's simply because they do • not
have the same kind of sets LEGO used to make. I doubt many of us would be
here today if we did not fall in love with some series, whether it be • space,
town, castle, TECHNIC, or train.  it will be interesting to see in the • next
10 years or so.

when I was a teen)
My son (seven) despite having a lot of '80 and early '90 sets to play with,
wants me to buy that Bionicle things....
I don't know what this mean for the future of LEGO AFOLs, by I'm not really
happy...

P.S.: ok, I admit, some gears from my son's Bionicles are now in my
drawers.....

Dave & All, (...) Now, now, we all love each other here, right? ; ) (...) This whole situation was very unique, and I think we need to look at it in that regard. I might have bought the set for the child, I might not have. It depends on a lot of (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jul-01, to lugnet.general)
