So's TLC.  It's pretty clear these days that a toy company has to incorporate
some element of conflict into its product if it's going to sell to the pre-teen
market.  There is too much graphic exposure to violence nowadays (i.e.,
videogames), and kids who grow up with a taste for that sort of thing won't
easily be persuaded by benign Lego.  Lego may not have even wanted to go down
the Castle path back in '78, and today, market-cultural forces in that direction
are exponentially stronger


I think TLC had ALWAYS violence in their themes: Pirates vs. Kolonists
                                                 Adventurers vs. Dino`s
                                                 Rockraiders vs. Rockmonsters
                                                 etc. etc
(exept for technic, at least in the beginning)
so, why are the bionicle so 'violent'?
they only want to protect the turaga and the spitit of matanui
