Okay, good to hear you officially admit your "mistakes" now, although I
still think two different batches are a marketing strategy, rather than a
true misprint (which sounds rather impossible having in mind how much hope
and efforts TLC has put into Bionicle). After all, I already noticed a
"disappearance" in Batch #2 of some strange combinations. It would be
interesting to see more details on this with the FAQ.

So, can you make promises that there will not be a third batch ? No more
strange combinations during 2001 ? Excellent ! That means I need no more but
five masks to go, ye-ah !

We do? Why not telling that earlier? By now, the first batch is completely
sold out all over, I'd have bought a lot more knowing about their rareness.

The usual "we're still working on xxx" but you can't imagine how happy I am
about it anyway!

Neat, indeed. There'S not so much to wander around right now.

I don't know, but wasn't it TLC that has created the telescope? So, they
knew what dates they were announcing and that months before we were able to
calculate these. I don't know, but I wouldn't be happy about a serious
delay. Friday sounds okay, but monday? Come 'on , it's not that you started
working on that three days ago! But then again, you're correct that I'd
rather play the working version. There'd better be something flawless at the
first try this time, otherwise one could include that the first release of
Bionicle stuff is typically incorrect!
What just came to my mind regarding odd difference ( a minor problem though):
I ordered one TOA each through S@H back in January. The sets were shipped
fast and arrived by mid January. However, the six sets all came without
CD-Roms while the "retailer-versions" included these free Mini-CDs being
shipped in february. So, is it usual for the Bionicle stuff to be released
incomplete first :) ?
> Back to work,
Midnight over here, no need to work right now. I hope you're making progress
on the FAQ then, unless your work is restricted caused by all the traffic in
lugnet.technic.bionicle that you have to deal with...
