I had the same thought about the Yoda. I was eyeing the box like a stranded
rugby team staring at each other after crashing on the side of a mountain.

I agree. The multitude of Bionicle "creations", if you can call them that,
really scares me--there's only so many "configurations" of claws, heads, and
masks :) I wish they had basic bricks for kids too.
Mario could probably chime in here, but his kids seem to like this Creator
tub he got at Costco. It looked like there was an acceptable set of pieces,
perhaps not for our purposes, but seemed okay for houses and cars. I think
it was set 4810.
BTW, if your friends would like some car chassis and wheels from Creator,
let me know, I've got like four or five of them sitting around.
