|

How do you think the Bionicle storyline will end? My ending: The Toa are fighting Makuta. He is extremly powerful. The six Toa fuse together and awake Mata Nui. He forms with the fused Toas and they manage to defeat Makuta. With the evil one gone, (...) (24 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)

| | 8862 Backhoe Grader question
|
|
I have heard that the 8862 Backhoe Grader was only released in Europe and Australia. Is this true? This would account for how hard it is to find 8862 in the US. Does anyone know of any other sets that were not released in the US. Furthermore, why (...) (24 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.technic)

I agree with both of you. I do think it's disturbing. I'd just like to raise some points to clarify some things. 1.
