They are forth the price of the LEGO versions. IF the plastic quality is close to it, I would definitely buy these. Anyone have these and review them for us.
If all of these sets from this site are in the same quality as the LEGO ones, they are a way cheaper alternative (hope this plastic isnt toxic or what not).
As I said, LEGO products get more and more expensive, while these show that the cost is lower with the same amount of pieces. Now besides the LEGO brand and maybe even the quality of the plastic, its a way better alternative for parents that dont have money to buy their kids expensive LEGO products.
Yes it sucks, and its totally illegal, but same with Piracy, if people cant afford something or feel like they are getting jipped for less, then this is somewhat understandable.
Honestly, I can’t say that I wouldn’t buy one of these if I saw them at a store.
Not because it would fool me, but more as a novelty. They look pretty neat, and it would be cool to see how the plastic stands up to legitimate Bionicle parts.
Also, note that they actually say “Bionicle” on the packaging. This means a couple of things; Firstly, they could get in some serious trouble for this. Secondly, it seems rather odd that they’d include that, rather than some generic STAR WARRIOR MASKER esque brand name… As if having the real name would boost sales. I’m going out on a limb here, but perhaps Bionicle still has a good enough rep to sell decently under the name alone.
