I also just picked up my first Bionicle sets recently. I purchased 4 of the
Toa. I like the new elements introduced in this line. The feet pieces are
much nicer than the throwbot feet. The torso gearbox looks like it can be
used in a variety of creative ways. I really like the gears used in these
sets. The masks give the action figure a personality of sorts - the way the
eyes kind of glow through the mask holes is pretty cool. Compared to the
throwbot "head" the masks are a huge step forward. And even the special
"tool" pieces are potentially useful in MOCs and Mindstorm robots.
I say, "well done, TLC". How people can say that a set with
1) Technic gears
2) Technic cross axles
3) Technic friction pegs
4) Technic bushings
5) Technic angle connectors
6) Technic catches
is not a Technic set is beyond me. About the only Technic thing the
Bionicle sets don't have is square beams and wheels.

| (...) The missing element is 'Technic Function'. If Bionicle sets are like the Slizers, the only function they have is a wheel (small gear) that you turn to make the head go up and down. Not exactly high-function, y'know? Steve (23 years ago, 30-May-01, to lugnet.technic)
