I personally think the objections to Bionicle here is the storyline side, not the building side. The storyline just has little interest in those of us who are not into the fantasy aspect of LEGO. I have to admit having the same feeling reading some (...) (23 years ago, 14-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Yes, but very expensive. IIRC, when Lego used to sell those accessory packs, they were about 1/2 as much. Granted it's been a long time since, I don't think they'd be as much if Lego still sold them. TJ (23 years ago, 14-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic)

Dean certainly has my vote on this Bionicle stuff. (How about a "Burn the Bionicle at the Beach Bonfire"?) When the Technic figure was first introduced back in 1986 (the 8600's sets) it was an interesting idea. One that could spark both interest in (...) (23 years ago, 14-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic)
