The good news is Biomedia does have the archive, the bad news is its not set up or ready for the public yet, but it will eventually be. No word back yet from our site's webmaster on the internal errors. I believe the problem happened after MaskOfDestiny and our sister site Rebelscum.com got moved to a new server by the webmaster. I think thats been broken since some time before Hero Factory 2.0. That feed technically doesn't show the most recent images uploaded to the site. Its actually tied to a manual refresh that looks for images attached to recent "items" in our archive's cross reference system. Otherwise it would always be populated uncontrollably with Star Wars images from Rebelscum.com, who uses the same file server. I've gone through quite a bit of frustration over the years trying to figure out if I've just forgotten some obscure step in the process, but something just isn't operating correctly. If I could, I'd have the G2 Toa on there right now, or tie it in to show the most recent pictures relating to the retro news.

I could be wrong but I seem to think the collection archive data is backed up in some form on Biomedia, Ill check with them and get back to you.

Sorry about the delay responding, it never occurred to me to check the forums of a completely different website for a query about our own. Were you looking for anything in particular, or did you just want to browse around the collection archive? Last I checked I could still access everything from my control panel. If you only need a few specific things I can try and grab them for you.

I do like the mobile armory. It appears there is a feature left unmentioned. Look at the box shot and you see a technic beam inside the trades at an angle. It makes me think either the treads themselves or the panel holding the axe inside the treads will extend out. If Im right, Im hoping it's to reveal even more weapons, or to make the inside more accessible sort of like the fortrex.

oO_Oo How long has Marchikoma been a thing!? I've got enough Shirow Masamune stuff in my room to classify it as a museum, and I'm only discovering this now :_: Looks like a great mix of themes, especially with Tachikomas being both a digital AI and a mechanical character. Maybe it's a tad long for traditional designs, but that's all a matter of artistic interpretation really. I wonder if you can figure out a way to hide flip out wheels in the feet? My Bionikoma I built years ago can't fit a seat either, the parts I used didn't really allow it, and it was more of a visual choice for me. Mine's packed up for Brick Universe, but you can kind of get a look at it here at about 17 seconds in:

Looks like I won't make it to the opening day with BZP people attending, Animazement starts on the 27th and I've already made plans for that. Maybe I can catch one or more of you on a different day? They have a few events running through the month, maybe there's a second day coming up? I'm guessing I wont catch anyone at Animazement will I? I've been tempted to grab a kabuki mask and use that with a bunch of Hero Factory parts to dress up as the villain from Big Hero Six.

O_O Well, I wonder how that happened, thanks for letting me know!

BrickUniverse in Raleigh was just a few days ago, and I took video of as many of the MOCs as I could: There is about an hours worth of video. I focused on the Fan Zone first, with the "professional" stuff being later on in the video. The creations on the first table, just after the modified system sets are mine. If you have stuff on display through BZP/Bionilug, you should be seeing it here somewhere, be sure to mark the time and tell us whats yours : ) Black six also has pictures but I imagine it will be a bit before he finishes uploading them.

Glad to help out when I can, hopefully you've got some loot money leftover. I hope Grayson's free exhibitor promotion pays off as well as the reputation I hope he gained from this the first Ralaigh and Dallas events. As much fun it was being part of the largest theme for a change, I miss seeing all the huge brick system displays.

Lyichir, This deal via BrickUniverse for 150 bucks a night appears to still be available, though the email I got says you should book it by 2-29, so there may still be a hiccup that keeps you from getting it: http://www.marriott.com/meeting-event-hotels/group-corporate-travel/groupCorp.mi?resLinkData=BrickUniverse%5Erdumc%60uniunia%60149.00%60USD%60false%604%603/31/16%604/4/16%602/29/16&app=resvlink&stop_mobi=yes The total price is a bit of a doozy though, I wonder if you can trim the days to save a few hundred bucks? I'm glad I live within driving distance.

Thank you for your support and comments everyone! Sorry I got sidetracked for a few days with another project I'm working on. It does not, the thornax might make it through the sweeper, but if it managed to roll into the canon, it would have to land just right so the pin could push on the hard plastic ring. Otherwise you'd have to remove it manually.

This is the latest in a series of tanks Ive been engineering that collect and fire their own ammunition, This is my most cost effective and easy to produce design yet, operating using only two motors. When it drives forward, it collects ammunition through a conveyor underneath it that lifts them into the cannon's ammo chamber. When it drives backwards, it starts to launch them one by one. When loaded, you can steer by teetering forward on one side or the other, and effectively turn around by driving on one side to perform a doughnut or U-turn. What makes the two motor design important is that it allows up to four tanks to operate at once, since the Power Functions receivers only control two motors per frequency. If I used a second IR receiver for controlling the cannon without backward drive, it would cost 15 bucks for that, and 14 for another motor, not to mention losing another frequency and requiring two IR remotes. It's best when seen in action in the video: I've also got it on LEGO Ideas, if you'd like to see more or support it for being made into an official set. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/117625 I hope to have these up and running at Brick Universe in April next year for everyone to try out. Last year my booth was very crowded during public hours, but I'm working with Greyson in hopes of having a proper line next year. If you plan to try them out, make sure you drop by before the public hours if you buy a full 3 day ticket : )

For some reason I missed this topic when I made this other one, though mine is for Terraria in particular since its free for XBox 360 owners with gold right now: http://www.bzpower.com/board/topic/18260-terraria-xb360-multiplayer-free-for-gold-members/ If you want to play please toss me an invitation, Im happy to join or to get help, my gamertag is Imatron

Since Terraria is free on the Xbox360 for gold subscribers, I was wondering if anyone here would like to play with me. If your not familiar with it, its like metroid or castlevania game but its free roam on a randomly generated world, where virtually everything can be mined,crafted into other things, and rebuilt into bases and etc. Id love to help others get started and teach them the basics, though if yor already past the Wall OF Flesh boss, I could use some help on my world. My gamertag is Imatron, toss me an invitation if your interested.

Nice one my fellow Kopaka Enthusiast! As much as I want a 14k gold mask, Im a Kopaka fan above all, so Im focusing on that mask. it would be an honor to own any of the new 14k masks, but something is calling to me with that shiny Akaku. Facebook would not let me post my entry for some reason, but thankfully Twitter worked: https://twitter.com/CaptainMukow/status/587429618396884992/photo/1 I just hope if my entry gets noticed that they will look past the disney infinity logo, especially with Dimensions coming out. Come to think, I hope they dont mind that I angled the picture to capture the reflection of the lamp for the x-ray eye XP. At least I can say I tried now!
