I still stand by this statement.
The reason for this is you can add detail to the armor if you wish, by now we have tons of armor add-ons from Hero Factory, Chima, Ben 10 and Marvel builds to help with this out. Not to mention the level of creative body shapes you can make with this style in comparison with the same old same old Inika/Av-Matoran build.
This is what Lego constractions should be, its not only for Bionicle sets, its everything you wish it to be and thats what Lego is about with all its system sets (interchangeable parts are way better than the one themed oriented ones).
Constractions arent just lego blocks or technic line, they are their own thing now which still follows the lego set standards (good quality pieces, interchangeable parts with different constraction themes and its own lego themed building experience).
As for the story, it could use a dash of complexity in it but thats an entirely different problem now.
