(...) I'm not sure that's true. If you ask me the efforts put into creating Slizer/Bionicles/whatever are to a large extent on the expense of decent Technic sets.

I think it's a mistake to assume that the ThrowBot parts are SUPPOSED to be useful in real Technic sets. Certainly the disc and throwing arm are purely for pleasing the kiddies, there's absolutely nothing else you could do with them. The arm/leg (...) (24 years ago, 25-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)
