(...) I like the actions and articulation, so that may be part of it. But I never play with them as if they were non-LEGO action figures. Playing with Bionicle is taking all of the sets apart and building new creatures. (...) I collect Bionicle, and (...) (23 years ago, 17-Oct-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic.bionicle)

(...) Agreed. The lost cost of the Toa and other sets were very appealing... but the bad guys are way up there. Perhaps that's why there are rumors that 2002 Bionicle series will feature simular-to-Toa price point bad guys. You can't accuse LEGO for (...)

Well, I finally got my first Bionicle, other than my sister's three Maku (Village people of Water, right?). And I must say, it's not half bad. It's got fairly good playability, and good parts. I'd do stop motion, but my video cam isn't good at (...) (23 years ago, 17-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)

(...) Yep. I only wish that Lego made a tire that looks like the old 24x43's but is much larger in diameter. What I would like to see is a tire the same diameter as the power puller's, but "squared off" (like the silver champion's) and with deeper (...)

(...) I think the very fact that we have Bionicle today is due to the past success of the Throwbot/Slizers and Roboriders sets. Whenever LEGO has a runaway best-seller (e.g. the Aquanaut sets), they run the idea into the ground trying to replicate (...) (23 years ago, 17-Oct-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic.bionicle)

(...) I think you have a good starting point as to why Bionicle is appealing, but the full reason would be 'It's just Bionicle'. It's the flavor of the month. Lego hit the whole marketing shebang perfectly with this idea, though I believe that (...) (23 years ago, 17-Oct-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic.bionicle)
