Hi from Germany! I am disappointed too, but I read the reason in message No. 238. LEGO is still fixing the new pages for the Onlinegame. I hope they get it til the end of this week. :-( (24 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)

In the old days before the black ones appeared, making and bracing large structures with the grey pins was "interesting" as said structures would be prone to an incredible amount of rattle and cumulative flexibility.
