>>5410034I have a feeling that if the SW figures didn't exist, we'd just have the same Bionicle sets that we have now. It's not that the Star Wars sets eat up Bionicle budget, it's that Lego had room for another constraction theme and decided to give SW some figures.
We've had Ultrabuilds since 2012. It never really felt as if those sets (all with six figures per wave) ate up magic HF budget.
