Philisteines....
Besides, most children I know, rip apart Technic sets morte than Legobricks,
its a little over compley. Bionicle and other Technic Bots are classified
Technic for their joint and brace parts, its all made to merge with Technic,
not bricxks, Just back off them OK! Have you bought one? have you looked at
the effort on teh site? Have you Forgoten the old days when we had action
figures or transformers and said "Man, if we had these....and we had some
legos...Wait man, PUT THE 2 TOGETHER! Dude that will Rule!" Well there they sit!
Action figures, Plus the Legos we love, and people, Technic is Technic,
besides, a whole ton of technic sets are outrageously expensive! at least
the Bionicles are Economical!(even if teh Mask aspect will hurt kids
wallets, teh tradeign aspect is great for their social/antisocial skills
too). They are here, get used to it, I wont bash yours, you dont bash mine,
thank you!
-leaves podium to build new Pohatu set, and is happy as ever-
