Yeah, it puzzles me as well. However, both this and Exo-Force are very anime influenced, and so maybe that is the larger trend LEGO is trying to tap into. Maybe also these are part of a move to increase market share in Japan? Anyway, from the looks (...) (20 years ago, 3-Feb-06, to lugnet.market.theory, FTX)
