Folks, just a disclaimer here, seems to be misinterpreted a lot here, I am
just saying "many of us would be here" blah blah blah. That does mean that
it is not 100%, but from what I have seen, and the people I have talked too,
seems to be pretty much the case. YMMV. Right?
Anyway,

Well, I am a US citizen, and mine is around there too, Carlo, you must be
hoarding over there in Italy! ; )
I think the AFOL definition stands, regardless.

Happy about what? That your son prefers Bionicle over older style sets?
Hmm... I am not a parent, I would be concerned though, that's just me, it
really depends on the child. I might be out of touch witrh today's children,
Lord knows I was when i was a kid. : )
