Lego Ambassador - Success!


Black Six

733 views

Today is an exciting day. Although there was an omission on the initial release on LUGNET, I was indeed accepted into the Lego Ambassador program. Hopefully this will help give BZPower some more pull in the Lego community and I hope to have some input on changes that are going on. You can be sure I will look to you guys for input and will be posting discussion topics and polls to see what you guys think (if I'm allowed to discuss it, at least).

 

Thanks to everyone for your support and votes in the nomination process, and thanks especially to Binkmeister, Bionicle Rex, GregF, Swert, and Arpy for their support and/or testimonials during the process. I couldn't have done it without you!

Seriously? That's amazing! Congratulations Black 6 4-Speed! Best of luck to you, and have fun.

 

So by program, do you mean you're -the- ambassador, or is there something else going on?

I am the ambassador representing BZPower. There are a whole bunch of other ones that represent different parts of the online Lego community.

Well then. Congratulations, truly, you were more than deserving of this position. Represent the people well.

Good. =D

 

Tell them we don't want papercutter action figures anymore. Complexity is not such a bad thing.

Congrats B6! This really is great news.

I know that this will be a great experience for you, and have great results for Bzp too.

Once again, congrats! You're one of the best people for the job. :)

Congrats! And yes, somebody who has a major part in keeping the forums going took the job!

 

And, since Lego isn't waiting for us to tell them about the BZPowerian set-wishes, I would like to say a few practical ways that certain colors could come back.

 

Name: (can't give)

BZPower Alias: Neya Darkaea Toa RB Hybrid

Purchased first Bionicle in: 2005

First made contact with Bionicle in: 2001/2/3. Can't remember, I couldn't make a word of it.

Joined BZP in: Late 2005

Buyer Type: Primarily a MOCist, secondarily a storyline buyer.

My personal ways to bring back/in certain colors:

 

(Note: I know the correct term for Plant Toa is Toa of the Green, but bear with me.)

 

1. Brown:

 

Brown, as Greg has for some strange reason repeatedly reminded us, will probably never return as a main set color. However, my suggestion is that it could be used as a secondary or tertiary color. Why is this? Simple. Brown doesn't sell well by itself, as it is too dull. However, with a brighter color, like a primary White and a tertiary Lime Green, you could make an AWESOME yeti-themed monster. The other colors could brighten it, while the brown/lime green prevents the white from being too dull itself. Besides, with snow on a lime-green highlight background packaging, it would look amazing. Or, a plant Toa with Mata green, lime green, dashes of turquoise to keep it cool, and brown as a secondary might also work.

 

And hey, if Greg for some strange reason hates Yeti or Toa of the Green with literal brown thumbs, we could cameo it, like Vezon's Spear of Fusion.

 

Potential uses as a Primary: Energized Crystal Creature-based characters

Secondary: Plant-based/Mountain beast-based characters

Tertiary/Quaternary/Cameo: Spear-of-Fusion-like bonus coloring

 

2. Purple/Trans-Purple:

 

Purple would make a great MOC. Why? It can capture things other elements can't. Plus, the trans-purple of Tahu's eypiece's nostalagic days is awesome-looking. Bohrok eyes with it would rule. Plus, it could also be used for ghost-characters, but I see tons of potential for trans-Purple in a Lightning Toa set. I'd love it combined with Mata Yellow.

 

Of course, solid purple is cool too. Added to red and blue, it could make a Plasma Toa proud.

 

Primary Uses: Plasma Toa

Secondary Uses: Lightning Toa

Tertiary... Uses: N/A

 

3. Mata Green/Greater use of Trans-Lime Green in sockets:

 

I love old greens. And both of these have high potential, used correctly. Who likes crystal creatures? Combined with brown, it could be a hit! (And you could intentionally highlight the trans-lime green, make the background dark with lime green crystals and lime green side effects, and voila, a flashy-but-interested box!) Not to mention its virtually unlimited use in a Nynrah ghost model.

 

Mata Green can also be eye-catching, and as said above, green+brown=Great Plant Toa. And who knows? A character with a color scheme that gradually deeped as it increased may need Mata Green to keep it in shape.

 

Primary Uses: Nynrah Ghosts, duh? Oh, and Plant Toa.

Secondary Uses: Crystal Creatures, characters that have a darker color scheme on top and brighten into white through green.

Tertiary... Uses: N/A

 

That is all I can say about this.

 

Neya Darkaea Out. :voyanui: I'm all texted out. :voyanui:

Whoo! Congrats 4S/B6. Just one question from me... Do they mean private forums that are a part of the existing Lego Message Boards? Because I saw Private(BR)Boards there as an "Icon"... It's ok if you won't be able to answer that.

I've yet to receive any information about how I will interact with Lego and the other Ambassadors, though I'm sure when I do I won't be able to talk about where it is.
