Definitely, I just can't see why some other people can't see through
this argument. What happened to the traditional set? Now I'm
seeing action figures and highly juniorized sets on the shelves and
less themed sets. Not a good sign.

Yeah, when I got the summer catalog, I was just as appalled to see about
half the pages dedicated to Galidor/ Bionicle, and lego ranting about
'how great it was'. To tell you the truth, I can't see what was going
through the designers head when they chose galidor, let alone anything
that comes from Fox kids network.

Right, I would like to see that plastic used for more castle legends (or
a new series), and perhaps some space and accessory / expansion sets.
Besides, anyone in their right mind knows you can buy an action figure
much cooler than Galidor at half the price. When will they learn?

Yeah, can't stand to see lego sell out their soul for licensing
dollars. I long to see some originality in themed sets, such as
perhaps, a new Black Falcon fortress, or a redux version of the
497.

Yeah, that's why I started this post, and I hope lego takes the liberty
to at least read the letter. (since I don't think many people trust me
anymore, oh well...)
Well, looks like I have another person (who is a kid, like me)
who hates galidor.
Attn Lego: Bring back space!!! At least something space!
