For me, Bionicle got me looking at Technic as a whole again: not for the sets, but for parts to make better er mechanical men ( I wouldn't call them any form of Bionicle and I might get flamed if I call them Mechs ).

(...) Agreed. The lost cost of the Toa and other sets were very appealing... but the bad guys are way up there.
