| (...) The sad part about this is that this looks like another case of misunderstanding between 2 completely different cultures. Though I can understand the concern of the Maori people about the using of their religion and culture in a toy, it should (...) (24 years ago, 11-Nov-02, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.general)

| This is just sloppy journalism. It looks like the author read Kelly's article ((URL) BZPower.com, made a few assumptions, and wrote an article without doing any research. I have a few comments on I've snipped parts that are taken directly from (...) (24 years ago, 11-Nov-02, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.general)

| Interesting... ---...--- "A so-called "terrorist" Maori hacker has forced an Internet forum associated with international toymaker Lego offline. Though Lego had buckled to pressure and agreed to stop using Maori words in its range of Bionicle toys, (...) (24 years ago, 11-Nov-02, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.general) !

| That is one innovative design I love the use of bionicle parts...lego is lego is lego. Every piece is valuable. Yes...i'm afraid to even say Ga..Galidor. Fire wasp that's a cool name too. Fits it. This could be one of those fads bionicle and space. (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-02, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.space)

| Hey All, I normally post in .castle but couldn't resist putting in my two cents here. I agree with Adrian (nice web page BTW) about pieces from other themes being used for space. I think that any piece from any theme can probably be used in some (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-02, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.space)

| (...) Hey, you're welcome. This model's much more playable and "swooshable" than most of my others, although the front half still has a tendency to snap off if handled too roughly. And do you mean Bohrok, and not Nuva? The Nuva don't have canopies. (...) (24 years ago, 28-Oct-02, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.space)

| Hey, you're welcome to your opinion and I'm certainly not going to bash you for it. While I agree that the bionicle parts do seem to be "hanging on", they are, after all, a different color then the rest of the model (that pseudo-silver as opposed to (...)

| Nifty Adrian. I quite like the versatility of those wings...all the configurations really ups the play value. I see the canopy for a black Nuva sitting in the bin and keep wondering how I'm going to use it. I think I now know how....tanx! Cheers, -G (...)

| Hello, Adrian, While the piece use is awesome, and the studless design is really neat, I dunno about the all the bionicle stuff. In Jon's M-Wing, and in your awesome Megaera, the bionicle pieces are used to supplement the overall shape of the model, (...) (24 years ago, 28-Oct-02, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.space)
