Thanks for the link, Bruce!
I'm not crazy about the speckled plastic used for the boulders and armor,
but the set designs look excellent! It bugs me to see so much Bionicle (in
the dragons), and I understand it's all part of the same system, but I'd
rather have more click-hinges.
Still, the bevy of new and very groovy-lookin' parts and what looks like a
return to much better set design more than outweighs these nitpicks of mine!

| (...) Hey Brendan, I've got no official word, but the word from Brickfest (which I was not at, so this is second-hand) was that these will be in TRU stores in October. I still think they will also be available through S@H, so I think "TRU exclusive" (...) (19 years ago, 20-Aug-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)
