Hey, you're welcome to your opinion and I'm certainly not going to bash you
for it. While I agree that the bionicle parts do seem to be "hanging on",
they are, after all, a different color then the rest of the model (that
pseudo-silver as opposed to red and black elsewhere), I patently disagree
with your assertion that they're not 'spacy' enough. What really defines
'spacy', anyway? It's my opinion that any piece, from any theme, can be
used in Space. That's part of the charm of the theme in general. That's
how you get things like walkie talkies and binoculars and pistols and
shovels used as details. I refuse to look down on a part made by Lego
simply due to the the theme from which it comes. If I actually owned any
Jack Stone, I'm sure I'd work hard to come up with a way to use those pieces
in my creations.
Cheers (and keep criticizing, it's sort of refreshing to see *grin*)

| Hey All, I normally post in .castle but couldn't resist putting in my two cents here. I agree with Adrian (nice web page BTW) about pieces from other themes being used for space. I think that any piece from any theme can probably be used in some (...) (22 years ago, 7-Nov-02, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.space)
