Lego - please stop. The majority of your customers do have a brain, and come
from good homes with helpful parents and all that guff. Don’t make it worse
for them.

Could the Bionicle be responsible for that? They use the Technic parts,
and they infest Technic too. The age group is quite different to that of
Technic...
IGNORE
They’ve sold the parks, now they could sell the Bionicle... and bring
the real Technic back >:->

Jindroush--
I’d like to see the colorization stop as well; I don’t like the loss of function
but the “standardized” colorization...well...I’m really hard core: Technic
should have remained “Expert Builder” here in the U.S., and gears should be
gray, the bricks should be yellow and black, and a whole lot of other stuff.
Unfortunately, it’s not TLC’s fault that many yonug people have the attention
span of a gnat, and that the “dumbing down” has to happen. It has little to do
with Bionicle; it is more of the fault of the information generation. Problems
need to be solved in 22.5 minutes, instant messaging is almost too slow, and
their world is moving way too fast to get the chance to slow down enough to
think through a complex set of directions.
As an aside--the more of those Bionicles I piece together from garage sale
remnants and odd brick lots the more clever I find they become.
As for the “private” statement at the end of your post...
**grins**
You might wanna check to be sure you’re using the formatted text feature,
instead of the plain text feature. While I agree with the sentiment (and I
like the Legoland parks!), the sad truth is that the Bionicle line is what has
helped TLC to get back into a solid position. Bringing back the real Technic (as
much as I want it back too!)...
**sighs**
...is simply not going to happen. What needs to happen is folks like you and I
working to find a way to get TLC know that we’d like the Technic equivalent of
the Cafe’ Corner! In short...something for those of us 18 and older. At least it
looks like the Nickelodeon licensing agreement has either expired or mercifully
gone away. That’s a start, if you ask me.
And dear friends at LEGO, if you’re reading this...please consider the “adult”
Technic thing.
Play Well and Prosper,
Matthew
