Bionicles are the best Lego ever.
I think I'm the only girl who likes them!
girl, maybe, but 44 year old woman no. I got totally and utterly obsessed by them in 2005, and have spent 100s of € on pieces, mostly second hand stuff. I like them mainly for creating new creatures with, (whereas my 8 year old son prefers the toa etc, and the stories that come with them), which i fall in love with. I have a semi-aztec sort of idol/god, in old bionicle rich-blue, turquoise blue and green, with orange and yellow and white touches. And two dark red, silver, grey and black weird creatures from an unknown planet; both of them are sort of "living carriages", one made of an evil poisonous bird-insect like creature, ( whose evilness interestingly enough, i now realise, resides in trying to persuade someone to ride in it, because it is carrying nothing, just has a space waiting to enclose them in) and the other is made of 6 very argumentative types who are mainly heads, all wanting to go in different directions, their bossy prow figure head, and one that circles above attached by a hinged/folding bar, carrying a precious "spirit" jewel between them!! And others.
There are some seriously brilliant sculptures made of bionicle displayed on the net. i've forgotten the links, but i can remember being transfixed by some of the creations, of strange beautiful extraordinary beasts.
