What on earth (or not on earth) is this?  According to the pics on Bricklink, it's a new Bionicle set.  It looks like it's supposed to be something like the Zamor Spheres, but it just looks like little green alien spermies.  At least they appear to all be the same color, which puts them a notch above those aweful Kraata maggots.

I'm sure that they'd be usefull as alien creature larvae or something like that.  Heck, maybe we could claim that they're the natural enemy of the Fleebnork.  The set looks like one that would cost about $2, so I can get one when they come out to see what they're like, and if they're super crappy, then I'm only out $2.
