| | | a) When should I put my order in for a Metroliner? Other than the obvious answer of "Now!" but when are they shipping? b) I was at McDonalds today with said coworker and they have Bionicle happy meals now. However, they very much appear to suck.

Anyway, I still like the design of Onua (URL) the various new Technic parts are always useful! -Richard ‘who still doesn’t think he’s a (...) (23 years ago, 11-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | | (...) The unusual thing is that the Bionicle toys from McDonalds don't seem to have ANY Technic parts from what I can see through the display case. They're...REALLY UGLY. They don't look like Lego at all, unlike Bionicle, which seems to have some (...) (23 years ago, 12-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Of course if you already have more than 2, the inclination to purchase a Legend set is greatly diminished....that being said, I will still do what most of you guys are doing and order the deluxe kit and an extra club car.

Better a small, low cost technic set with useful new parts than another overpriced old train with the same useless parts (...)

| | | | | | | (...) A question I've long pondered (well, okay, not really THAT long.) is that perhaps we think all these new sets aren't great because we got used to not necessarily better but different sets.

I've rarely purchased any set that retails for more than $50 based on the principle that no toy (...) (23 years ago, 12-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.technic.bionicle)
