Just some observations as I was putting together all the Toa I bought. The Toa are better figures in general, they stand taller, the maks make for cooler heads, and the giant weapons they have are much more impressive, but at the same time there is (...)

(...) I meant that it sucks for you that you can't get over the fact that Lego put Bionicle under the Technic name where it doesn't belong. If Bionicle weren't called Technic you'd probably shug it off and say "go have fun" to those of us who like (...) (25 years ago, 31-May-01, to lugnet.technic)
