Mainly the fact that Lego is making money from the Bionicle line. I know
that will transfer into more Bionicle stuff (like 2 movies for example). But
also that it is Bionicle making money. I think its a great way for kids to
get into the Lego world. And as long as they enter the world we know and
love then that means more money for Lego, and that is a good thing....

hehe, I dunno how much money they are making from Galidor. But I am hoping
they take some of the profits from Bionicle and put it into other themes
that could use a shot in the arm. Like Town sets, we could use some new Town
sets (not Jack Stone, that is not town!). Trains is doing well now, but who
would complain about getting more money put into it? Maybe some more 'Sea
themed' sets wuld be cool. But as long as Lego puts some of the money into
development for new Lego sets (like how we know Lego, with bricks and
plates) then it would be a very good thing.
