Weekly Update - 8/1


Black Six

Intro

Hello all, welcome back to another edition of our Weekly Updates with yours truly, Black Six. A few things to talk about this week, but nothing too important or earth-shattering. Still, take a read through!

 

Updates

A couple weeks ago if you were in the San Diego, CA area you hopefully stopped by Comic Con, the huge expo featuring comics (duh), video games, TV shows, movies, card games, toys, and just about anything else a geek would like. Lego was there in pretty full force with a booth with the new sets and Greg Farshtey to answer questions and sign books and comics. There were also booths run by other companies that had Lego content such as the upcoming Lego Batman video game. But don't take my word for it, check out our full account courtesy of Darnzerf and The Captain. One thing they missed out on was the Brick Journal panel, headed by the magazine's editor Joe Meno and featuring BZPower Forum Leader and Master MOCist Bryce McGlone, aka Cajun. Have no fear though, because Cajun himself has provided coverage of the panel as well as some pictures of his latest creation, which is quite amazing. It looked like a lot of fun as always, and I'm jealous I was on the other side of the country and couldn't go. One of these days...

 

In other news we're finally seeing some new story-based content on the official Bionicle websites. A new serial and podcast debuted this week, in addition to more updates to the Takanuva blog. I'm really liking that Lego is providing us with more story content through the website and is not relying so much on the books as they have in past years. Now they just have to bring back the Flash animations. Hey, a guy can dream, can't he?

 

Our Third Member Interview was posted today. Read Makaru's interrogation questioning of iRocco and see what he had to say. Then you can sign up for Cycle Four.

 

Next on the list, Brick Fair is fast approaching. Be sure to get your MOCs sent soon or to make your reservations if you're going to come. A lot of BZP staff and other members will be there, it'll be a great time for sure! You can find more information about sending your creations here.

 

Oh, and set reviews are coming, honest. Blame Smeag, as he's been telling me he's going to post his for days now. After that we have a couple more on deck we can hopefully put online shortly after.

 

Mailbag

What can I do to get more questions here?

 

Want to see your questions answered? PM them to me and put 'Mailbag' in the subject line. I'll pick the few I like the best and answer them in the next update.

 

Conclusion

So as always, let me know if you have any questions, comments, or complaints, either about the Weekly Updates or about BZPower itself. Thanks for reading, and until next time...

Meh, I didn't go wither, and I'm like an hour away from San Diego. :P

 

I really want to be interviewed this time. :P

 

That MOC Cajun made is schweet. He told me about it at the Glendale Galleria about a month ago.

It's like these weekly updates keep getting fewer and further between...

 

But on the subject of that MoC featured in that news entry- are there any better resolution images of it? I really can't see it very well with the quality of the pictures given, and it looks rather nifty. Be a shame if those were the only images...

 

What can I do to get more questions here?

 

What, indeed...

 

*Idea*

 

Be more strange, confusing, or unclear on things about BZPower? That would certainly raise some questions...

 

 

Come to think of it, if I can remember, I'll try and see if I can write up something relevant. At least there would be SOMETHING in so-called mailbag...

You mean the weeks are getting further apart? I think your perception of time might be messed up, my friend.

Those are, unfortunately, the only images that exist at this time. Cajun has said he'll be working on getting more online at some point.

Those aren't the only pics of it... I've seen much better... however, they are on a site with forums... and I don't think it has a word filter. >_>

Offer us two lego sets.

But, well brickfair sounds awesome, can't go. With gas like it is, I don't think i'll be taking 'across half of the US' trips.

GRARGH I WANT SET REVIEWS

 

Perhaps I'll be able to contribute to that in a couple of years when I have bought a high-quality camera. 'Till then, I just gotta put up with the others' and their screwy schedules. :P

 

And I'll see if I can think of any questions to send you despite the fact that I server the inner circle... 0_0
