Agreed, Mindwipe needs his little buddy.

This is a very good idea. I do this throughout the year naturally. I go from Lego to collecting NASCAR diecasts to collecting Hot Wheels to Transformers again. I think this makes a purchase on a figure you missed out on during your "break" more special. That's just my opinion.

The best thing, and the most convincing imho, is that you mention two other products in your reply in which I have an affinity for,.... been a while since Ive picked up some Lego Bionicle,... wonder how that line is looking these days,.....

Guess I should just stake out my few BOS (Buy on Sight to include Terradive, Tomahawk, Breacher, Scattershot,Highbrow, HA Jazz and HA Mudflap,..... oo and Hailstorm,... you see how this goes lol) and take a break. Thanks for so many informative replies.

It's Lego Hero Factory now, and I would advise against it. My son got one for his birthday, and they are not really customizable/interchangeable like they used to be. the limbs are very stiff with no articulation, and are side specific, so the right arm has to be the right arm. They really are more like action figures now than the original Toas.

Bummer, I remember when they first started that line the whole gimmick was that you could buy 2 or 3 and have official combinations for them. Really drew me in with that gimmick.
