Two comments regarding this Bionicle thread...
(1) I agree with Eric's comment, the "always exciting" feature
of Lego is the ability to create whatever you wish. This seems to
point to a number of other concerns voiced in the near past:
a. The "juniorization" of Lego sets, creating sets with much larger
pieces and more simplified designs than in the past.
b. The more recent choice of themes, which may appeal to younger
enthusiasts, but often makes us scratch our heads (in confusion).
c. The quick release and closure of sets, which can make finding
parts difficult.
d. many more to remember at this time....
I often am confused when my nephews/nieces or other children I know
will build a set from the instructions and then look at you and say
(hypothetically) "Now what??" I try to explain that they can build
whatever they desire, combine sets, go wild, etc. But this 'change'
in mindset of today's kids may be a reflection of present society
for quick visual gratification (but that's another thread for another
day) - and not what we experienced growing up.
Therefore, do you think we should compile these thoughts and suggestions
in one location (here on Lugnet? if not already available), and ask for
Lego's input/review. I would venture a guess that, combined, we might
have a stronger (and more reasoned) input to future designs. (or is
that wishful thinking?).
(2) Regarding using Bionicle, just a quick guide from what I've seen.
a. You will need Flash4 technology and audio enabled.
b. The concept seems to be somewhat Myst and Riven based as far
as program execution.
c. Move to the edge or out of the window pane to pan/scroll the
view.
d. Click on objects you wish to review.
e. Again, don't understand the objective yet...
