Alright...Alright...now that I have seen it in action, I have to have one. How much!!!! If you aren't going to sell that one, do you plan to create a .dat file with a parts list so we can all build one? Steven B. Combs, MS, CIT Associate Professor - (...)

I have the set 398 standing beside me. It's an older type wheel plate, the one with the metal axel in it. With considerable force you can remove wheels and axle, what's left it what you need: 2x2-with-hollow-studs. Next problem: try to find the (...) (25 years ago, 31-May-01, to lugnet.technic)

I've put the Mpegs up, but their a bit big, so you'll have to decide if you think it's worth it. I tried lowering the quality but it didn't change much so I left them at high quality. It's a new link but the page looks the same, the Mpegs are at the (...) (25 years ago, 31-May-01, to lugnet.technic)

Here is my opinion on this matter. Lego should be able to keep the products on store shelves under the original names. A language is a language, whether it be English, German, Esperanto, or Maori. Lego should not, however, copyright the names of the (...) (25 years ago, 31-May-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)

(...) I'm kinda suprised by this. The US has only just started to get Bionicle and they already have Makuta's beasts? I haven't seen em anywhere in the UK,same for the card game.

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 (...)
