The Bring Back Bionicle Club, Bzpower Branch

Welcome to the BZPower branch of the Bring Back Bionicle Club! We're a group of stubborn Bionicle fans who want the sets back.   Other branches of the club do exist, but BZPower rules prevent me from linking to, or in some cases even mentioning, any of them. You'll have to find the other branches on your own.

Anzac Day Oath

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the year's condemn. At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, We will remember them.

No. Pokémon is not ending, but changing.

I take back my entry about Pokémon ending. Actually it's going mobile! Pokémon GO takes the main series games we're familiar with onto the smart phone. Will it replace console games? I don't know. But it'll be interesting to see how the franchise will transform from here. In Pokémon GO, you search for Pokémon in the REAL world, not just in a game. This will encourage engagement in the local environment and community, which can only be good for the next generation(s) of children.

The countdown has begun

... to my leaving BZPower forever. I REFUSE to be seen with such a horrible spinny next to my name! It goes against EVERYTHING I stand for!

Bionicle Forsaken In Favour Of My Little Pony?

Unlike the majority of BZPers, I'm actually beginning to grow tired of the My Little Pony meme. I believe this meme has gotten so out of hand that everyone is favouring it over Bionicle, and I'm concerned.   If this keeps up, I fear it will seal Bionicle's fate as a dead toyline, and it will never come back because no-one else is interested in it anymore.

Is Pokémon about to end?

Nintendo's doing a 'business announcement' about Pokémon in 2 and a quarter hours (3pm Japan time, 4pm Australian time). The last time something like this happened, LEGO got rid of Bionicle. Could the same thing happen to Pokémon? It might explain the lack of a main series game announcement prior to this year's World Championships.

VICTORY!

On Tuesday the 24th of November 2009, LEGO made the announcement that they would be ending Bionicle in the middle of 2010. Immediately, campaigns and petitions began to bring Bionicle back.   On Saturday the 19th of March 2011, two BZPower members, Makuta_of_Oz and PAPER SPEAKERS WAT, got together to form a fan group and campaign dedicated to bringing back Bionicle, and as such the Bring Back Bionicle Club was born.   On Thursday the 7th of July 2011, the Bring Back Bionicle Club gained its own

$70,000 AUD and counting

http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/2014/06/12/10/22/thieves-robbing-toy-stores-for-lego   The thieves reported on in my previous entry remain on the run. They have now robbed 5 stores in NSW and Victoria. It is plain obvious they hate LEGO and its fans with these constant attacks on US, and they MUST be stopped IMMEDIATELY.

Triskaidekaphobia

Triskaidekaphobia is fear of the number 13, and I suffer from it. This is because I suffer from being stalked by the number 13. Everywhere I look, the number 13 appears. EVERYWHERE! Even when I used an online random number generator to find my Spirit Pokémon, the number I got was 13! THAT was the biggest sign of all of my 13-based bad luck!   I have 13 pages of blog entries on BZPower too, which I don't like.   EDIT: this entry, ironically, makes it 14 pages! Good riddance!

"lego" News, Reference And Discussion

It's like it's not a Bionicle site anymore...   If you ask me, it's a sign that Bionicle is dying forever, as if no-one is interested anymore.   And Tohu approves of this? I thought he thrived on Bionicle!

"Bonkles"

Has anyone else heard of this term? It gets thrown around quite a bit on the Bring Back Bionicle Club.

Lego Cuusoo Character Proposals

As you know, there is a proposal to bring back Bionicle in LEGO's CUUSOO site. What you may not know is that there are also proposals for individual Bionicle characters on the site. The ones I've found so far include:     Helryx Artakha Sisters of the Skrall Mata Nui (MU Robot) Tuyet   If any more come, please let me know.

Bionicle G3? Did I miss something?

First of all, I apologise for my long absence. I have found my irl calling and spent a lot of time pursuing it. Furthermore, I have been focusing more on Pokémon VGC.   Second, I've started hearing a lot about Bionicle G3 today. Is that really a thing, even if just a rumour? If so, please do tell!   In other news I do have a rough idea for a Gen 1 soft reboot set on Spherus Magna, which I could post somewhere at a later date.

An Excellent Thread Supporting Bionicle's Return

bonesiii posted a fantastic thread in General Discussion explaining in great detail why Bionicle is highly likely to come back.   Click here to read it.   I'm considering adding a link to the deviantArt branch too, but I'll need permission first. Stay tuned.   EDIT: Permission was granted, and the blog entry is posted.

Could we see more Gen 1 elements in Gen 2 Bionicle?

As a pure genwunner who is against this idea of a 100% reboot, obviously I yearn for more Gen 1 elements in Gen 2 Bionicle. But what's to say it won't happen?   LEGO stated in their meeting in BZPower's video that they wanted to dumb down the names so younger fans can more easily understand, meaning species like Matoran, Skakdi, Vortixx and Skrall are no more. But there are a few elements of Gen 1 that can still work despite this:   Dark Hunters   The ultimate example of Gen 1 elements that can

GREEN Machop?

I've heard rumours, and even seen a low-quality pic, of shiny Machop having changed from brown to green in ORAS. Has anyone else found a shiny Machop in ORAS and can prove if this true with higher-quality pics?

Digimon Adventure coming back

As I have stated multiple times before, I used to be a fan of Digimon back in the days of Digimon Adventure, but lost interest because they ended it and then gave the series a hard reboot, just like they did with Bionicle.   Well I just heard news that, in honour of its 15th anniversary next year, Digimon Adventure is coming back!   I know little about this new Digimon Adventure, but it appears it will be based around the original 8 Digidestined (including Kari), and be set 3 years after the ev

Taming A Street Teenager Part 3

Despite all the drama that has gone past and all the threats that disappeared, my teenage friend, who I mentioned I was taming in past entries, has not entirely come out of the woods.   A month or so ago, my friend's school was holding a family day. My friend's parents were killed by a serial killer ten years before, so the constant reminders of his parents being dead were like daggers to his heart. That night he went to the local cemetery where his parents were buried. Another friend of his was

I'm not 100% sure, but...

...I think the login issue wih the Archives has been solved!   It may be old news, but I only noticed when I clicked on the new link on the new forum's home page. Whether or not that new addition solved the problem, I don't know, but it still looks like it has been solved, because I can access the archives without getting logged off!   Thank you staff for fixing it!

BBBC member dies in car accident

It is with great sorrow that we must inform you that one of our members, known simply as "Dat Toa Nuparu", has sadly passed away.   Dat Toa Nuparu was involved in a car accident that left him concussed and with a broken arm. He was rushed to hospital but died a short time later. He was only 17.   Rest In Peace, brother. May your soul finally find comfort.

Why the Bring Back Bionicle Club failed

I'm sure a lot of older BZP members expected me to come back and crack it when Bionicle was announced to end AGAIN. I feel that now is as good a time as ever to let rip about what I really feel about the end result.   When Bionicle came back last year as a hard reboot, I actually felt the Bring Back Bionicle Club FAILED in its mission. I don't know about the rest of you, but I was campaigning for a continuation/soft reboot, and opposed a hard reboot. A successful campaign in my eyes would've mea
