Well, if I belonged to the club already then sure, but I don't so I'll just
wait 'til July.

I just called LEGO Shop at Home and the rep who answered told me that the
special offer in question is available to anyone, not just members of the
LEGO Club.

Oh wait.  My bad.  Not the N64.  GameCube.  And Game Boy Advance.  And PC

trading card game at this point, but we will be releasing some information
about that on Bionicle.com, along with info on the digital games.

Excellent. Thanks! I'll be watching the site. In the meantime, I've noticed that Top Deck (makers of the Survivor, Wizard Academy, and soon Bionicle CCGs?) is located in Carlsbad CA, and makes trading-card sized CD roms for their sports lines. -gyug (...)
