that story was so open ended that the creative possibilities were endless.
If Lego provides a story as a beginning, I'm all for it. If Lego provides a
story as an end, I can not support that. IMHO, recently, we have seen more
of the latter and less (if not none) of the former. Bionicle seems to be
the epitomy of the latter (this robot is name "X" and he does "Y"...).
