I too, was going to try to collect all of the masks when they launch in September. Since you are trying very hard and have not yet suceeded, are you willing to part with the oodles of copys you have. Since I have none and you have obviously already (...) (26 years ago, 21-Feb-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)

(...) Actually the handling of Magic in the early days carries a few messages that I think Lego might do well to study carefully. The problem with Antiquities was an over-abundance of common cards and poor planning of how they would be inserted into (...) (26 years ago, 20-Feb-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.technic.bionicle)

How do you think the Bionicle storyline will end? My ending: The Toa are fighting Makuta. He is extremly powerful. The six Toa fuse together and awake Mata Nui. He forms with the fused Toas and they manage to defeat Makuta. With the evil one gone, (...) (26 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)

Trimmed bionicle from FUT (...) I agree with Bill. Violence in a story isn't bad, per se. It's *celebrating it* as an end in and of itself that's bad. I hold with a philosophy that doesn't initiate violence but that doesn't mean I'm against seeing (...) (26 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.off-topic.debate)
