(...) I think you already mentioned why, most or all Bionicle fans only use BZ Power. The poll was here at Lugnet and you have to be a member to vote. There are strong feelings when it comes to Bionicle here (at Lugnet, not .technic.bionicle) and (...) (22 years ago, 19-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)

I just got the Spring 2003 catalog, and was very depressed to find only one Technic set in it. Not counting the non-technical sets that have managed to slip into that category. Are we seeing the end of classic style Technic? (22 years ago, 19-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)
