I wish to make a point here:
1)The Ball n Socket Joints Featured since the Slizer/Throwbot line came out
are among the most inovative parts added to teh Lego Line PERIOD. Its a
simple thing that lego is Using in many newer Technic Sets!
2)80% of Parts featured in the Technicbot lines arte immediatly transferable
in most ways to other Technic based modes, and with very little
difficulty/additional parts, to traditional Lego parts.
3) I dont buy normal technic sets since I prefer the posbility and self
contained parts assortments the Technicbots offer. If you Dont liek them,
dont buy them, But let the rest of us Enjoy buying them, and theiur
continued sucess. Technic in its traditional sense will always be there, so
let us enjoy what we have.
4)I want to see this line continue, and I highly doubt it will be canceled,
at least State sides, seeing as Europe has never been very collector
oriented, while already teh Bionicle Card Game has been released, and there
is more coming soon, so I am bettign it will not be cut short, too much time
and moneyt has been invested in Bionicle, so even if it ends in Europe, it
will go strong in the USA!
Like it or hate it, they will be here!And I will by buying and loving them!
