There's a simple test, has it got a transparent windscreen, Yes!! then it
can't possibly be Technic. Also Technic sets are always built in a skeletal
framework style, while the UCS Tie Fighter is a solid form.
I thougt we'd agreed Bionicle wasn't Technic, it's pretty obvious, and I
like the 'is it in the spirit of Technic' test. I thought the argument was
whether both lines should be grouped together on Lugnet.

I'd be interested in picking up some of the new gears :-).
