Definitely. If they ask the kids on the site what they want in a
short enail message, and pick random petition signatures and read
them, perhaps thy will get an idea that sets like Castle and
space are still as popular as ever, and that kids do have the
potential to build something great, due to the fact that itis
awfully hard to find a good alternate model of a bionicle set.

I believe so, since lego does periodically check out lugnet, so
youcan never know. My guess is that they check it out often, to
get an idea of what the adult fans want. I was just hoping they could
set up a public forum at lego.com so kids could do the same. I'm
sure there would be quite an enthusiastic response.

Not surprising, If I had a Galidor, It woudn't last very long...

Probably not...it's sorry that lego would bother with the whole
"capitzlize on nameless tv shows on fox" factor, but then again what
can you say, they eventually sell out their soul to licensing, and
their sets look like they were hit by those guys who paint logos for
Nascar race drivers.
> I totally agree.
It's a shame some people can't see past the whole thing. I'm a kid
who happens to build with lego, and can't stand the sight of Galidor.
I'm sure there's others out there who probably agree, but if Lego
only asked them about it, they would get a response.
> Yeah, but if it is a dumb move like GALIDOR it can waste a lot of money.
It's a waste of perfectly good ABS plastic too. Think of all of those
Guarded Inns, gone forever...
> No good at all.
Only good when you see one ran over by a semi truck. Yeaaah!!! :)
> If they're not lego system toys, then they shouldn't be in the catalog.
It was kind of funny, a few years back, lego listed some
bionicle toys as Technic, but they quickly cleared that
discrepency up. I think lego should put out a separate catalog
for items like Jack Stone, Galidor, etc.
> I havn't yet seen a show-based product that was interesting.
> Dare I even ask?
Nah, and nobody probably will for a while. One of my key
philosophies is to stick to originality, and not to emulate the
works of others to gain profit.
Just wishing lego would adhere to this maxim as well.
