you CANNOT

>promotes creativity, like with all LEGO products
>helps children with spatial reasoning and shit
>they're unisex
>they look cool as fuck--every single one of them

Spoiler

>parts can mix and match--you don't have to follow the instructions
>near infinite possibilities with all those different pieces
>if they break, you can literally just put it back together again, effectively making them unbreakable
>later models were double-jointed, allowing you to pose them in any way you want, unlike static toys
>just the premise itself--you are building your own action figure

literally the only flaw i can think of is that the parts are easy to lose

but that can also be turned into a positive

>teaches kids to be organized by incentivizing them not to lose any pieces, lest they ruin the coolest toy ever

10/10 toy
there is nothing better--NOTHING

Even though I'm a HUGE bionicle fan, I will say that the older sets were plagued with an issue of the ball sockets breaking, so you have to be extra careful with them. I treat my Kopaka Nuva like a precious ornament.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
Does anyone remember the bikes that came before these? <.<

Those were my first ones.

I hate this forum's Bionicle circlejerk. Yeah, I had them. Yeah, they were cool. Were they the coolest thing in the history of toys? Not by far.

Hence the challenge:

name something better or more worthy of praise than the bionicle

or LEGO in general, to be honest

Yup. Motorbike riding Bionicle was pretty badass.

Going outside? When I was a kid, we found sticks and swordfought. Big log-like sticks were greatswords, small flimsy ones were daggers, etc. Using your imagination, running around like you're a Jedi or a samurai - that's the best kind of toy.

swordfighting with children is idiotic--someone's going to get hurt

speaking from experience

a bionicle would never hurt you

I love how the earlier sets came in a canister for easy storage (you could actually put the fully built set inside), and as an added bonus, the lid of the canister was a lego piece. The canisters were even a part of Bionicle lore from what I can remember.

Real shame that the newer sets come in bags.

That's just another degree of fun. Don't get hurt.

Although, I don't know why you would use sticks unless you lived in a shack.

Because we didn't have real swords to fight with?

That's why you don't get hurt. This is kid logic 101.

You could buy a lightsaber or nerf sword at Target for $20 tops.
