 | | Do Bioncle Masks hide Greedy Marketing? —Daniel van der Graaf
|
| | | What is the real purpose behind the sale of SO many different Bionicle masks? Is there a game coming up where each mask has some ability?

Maybe it's a fair representation of population in the Bionicle theme.[1] As far as (...) (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.dear-lego)

| | | | | | | Hi Eric, excellent reply! I couldn't have said that better! The guys that complain about the "collectible system" itself won't buy the masks anyway (and nobody asks them to do so). I don't complain about that thing, I knew about that before having (...) (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.dear-lego)

| | | | Strange question in the subject line. Marketing is always equal to greed, no matter if it is made by Coca-Cola, Nestlé, Ford or Lego. Nobody offers you a product to make you happy. No, of course they want to make money. Then, of course it's easier (...) (24 years ago, 19-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.dear-lego)
