   Actually, I think it's because both of the subthemes mentioned are
   part of "Town."  Yeah, I know.  But apparently that's where they
   fit in TLC's hierarchy.  Sort of like how .technic always got up
   in arms about Bionicle.

   "Legends" is a line, but not a theme.  Therefore it doesn't have
   its own group (and I have explained elsewhere why I think it shouldn't).
   Galidor *is* actually a theme (ugh).  Got a look at those today--if
   only the little 'mech guy's arms weren't so stylized, they might be
   useful.
