Thanks a lot for that image, Johannes. I hope you don't mind that I did put
a copy on my Bionicle site as some people may find it there too.

It's a really good overview about the entire theme, only the Tohunga are

radio-control unit."


Whatever that means, at least it didn't work at the Toy Fair yet which was

Hi All, In one of the bionicles that I bought (for the new-style gears only), I found a year 2001 bionicle minicatalog. Here's the relevant scan (400kb): (URL) from some screenshots of the bionicle game and a picture of a Lego watch, there are (...)
