Because I have so many... -SZ-

Ok, a new BBC for my blog, the last one was Karzahni Pre-Pit, but this will be different. Originally this was different, then I saw Shadow Kurahk was doing the same, that I would be coppying him, but though this may not be as succesful as his, this is for building Toa, Order, Makuta and DH and others. So here's a basic list: The Hagah: Kualus, Bomonga, Pouks, Gaaki Makuta: Miserix (humanoid form), Kojol DH: Triglax, Lariska, Phantom Order: Jerbraz, Tobduk, Johmak, Helryx Other: The Pre-Pit Barraki, Toa Nidhiki, Toa Tuyet Prizes: Um...I don't know at this point. I don't really care if this gets a lot of people to join or not, but if anyone's interested, join.

Now visible on nathan8472.com! Also, as a special note, I certainly wouldn't mind winning MOCotW with my Exo, but I won't do so just because I made it. Starting now and ending next Sunday, I encourage all of you to browse the BBC forum looking for worthy winners of the MOCotW contest. When you find one that is suitable, PM me with a link to it. I say this because if I get an overwhelming (as in the most) amount of "votes" for my Exo-Toa, I'll let it win MOCotW. That way, I get my fair chance to win without having to rig the contest. Argy

Progress on the entry has been slow over the past week. Av-Matoran: No new updates. Bohrok: Complete. Bohrok Kaita: -I recently purchased a second krika to complete the left arm. -I worked a little last night (at 2AM) and more just now on the leg design. Both legs are now done. -The spine-design for the back has also been completed, I just have to figure out a way to hide the rubber band a bit better. -The cumulation of the above bullets have allowed me to piece together most of the moc, I now need to create a set of armor to compliment the back, and attach the head. -The head will retain the ability to move back and forth, but it has to be done manually, rather than with a gear. I should have the entry finished by tomorrow afternoon, so I should be entered by tomorrow evening!

This contest was a bit harder, as I'm sure many of you will realize why, but nevertheless, we have a great winner! Check it out here! Argy

Would anyone enter a short story contest if I made one? Cuz I'm in a literary mood. -SZ-

This entry will deal exclusively with the bohrok kaita, which is more or less no more than a thought right now. The body will be largely black, with white armoring. I contemplated the blue and green of the true kaita, but I thought it would look messy, so I skipped that. Krika plays an important role on this beast, would be nice to have a second, but I think that a little bit of asymmetry could be a refreshing change. So then I'm left wondering what to do about the left arm. What to do with it, I know how the right arm will look, but I only have one Krika-head. Thoughts? White bohrok head will be used to stay true to the lineage (of this matoran, not the story), right now I'm thinking of retaining the head-thrust component, it much the same way as on the regular bohrok, see the previous entry for pics. I'm debating as to a head pivot though, not sure what to do, I could toss in something geared pretty easily that would work for a standard pivot, but a ball joint would work for orbital pivoting, the challenge comes with retaining the thrust component and how bulky it'll be. I may start from the head down. And a double-spine going down the back made with krika parts would be pretty cool right? I just gotta figure out how to do it, I got some rubber (++) parts a while ago that might work well... Uh, the legs, definately not sure about those. I can't stick with the original kaita legs cuz they're really messy. So now I'm thinking about a triple jointed design... Thoughts? Ah, hello there NS 068-069. Goodbye blog, hello Naruto.

LIEK ZOMG! I just got back from staff training when I found one of the best emails I've ever received in my in-box from a certain Michael Petranek. Who's that, you ask? Well, wait and see. The message was entitled Bionicle Video Contest Entry and it read as follows: Dear [sPIRIT], We here at Papercutz really enjoyed your video that you sent in for submission. From the Yakov Smirnoff bit to the Family Guy style cutaways, it was very funny. Our only problem was that the video is a bit long. Could you edit it down to say, five minutes? We especially liked the bits with info from the comics. Please write me back when you get a chance. I'd love to discuss the video with you in greater detail. As you may or may not remember, I entered the Mantax Facts PSA into the Papercutz video contest. So this email is EXTREMELY promising, as you can probably tell. The thing is, I'm not really sure what needs to stay in this movie as I trim it down. The songs will probably be the first things to go, but is there anything I should specifically save? I'd really appreciate your input.

So they have returned! Exciting, no? *mass booing* So, what are these so-called Thingamabobs anyway? Um, basically random things in the LEGO world that I feel need more recognition. ... *kills lame opening* Presenting Thingamabob #1... » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Roa McToa's Kopaka Nuva! ...revamp-Phantoka-thing. (Topic) Because Roa's unique style is to die for. ... That was so anti-climactic. -SZ-

Semifinal Polls for The Observatory's Second BBC Contest are here! There is one poll for you to vote in, and all you need to do to vote is the following. Post in this entry stating which three entries you want to win out of the poll. Preliminary voting begins now, and ends Thursday, July 10th at 11:59:59 PM Central Time. The reason for the long voting time is that I will be at a camp from early Monday morning (the 7th) until late Friday afternoon (the 11th) where there is no internet access. Unfortunately, during that time, I will be completely unable to get online to BZPower. The final poll will be put up Friday or Saturday of that week. The top 4 entries of this poll will advance to the final round.

I never thought I would have seen so many people jealous and upset because of BBCC 50. And I never would have thought people would have decided who they would vote for before any entries were built. I've lost alot of respect for many people in the BBCC forum, and gained alot for those who didn't complain. And in other news, I have a MOC that I will be posting soon! Oh yes, can someone please make a blog contest? I have Distorted's contest, but I need more... ~BD~

Check it out! Argy

Some of you requested it, so here's the shorter version of the Mantax Facts PSA for the Papercutz BIONICLE Video Contest: LINK Broke my heart to remove what I did, but I think it still fits together rather nicely as a movie.

Hooray! 'Tis the first Sunday of July, and MOCotW returns to us! Who's this week's winner? Find out for yourself! Argy

If BBC Contest 50 doesn't show up this month, it will actually be good for me. I really have alot of MOCs I need to shoot out, but I don't want to be tempted to destroy them and build an entry for it. Anyway, would it be wise to seperate pieces by colors? I'm not sure becasue if it is not, I don't want to waste any time. P.S. I'll try to get Keetongu up tomorrow! ~BD~

Your mission in this blog-based contest is to build an MOC of absolutely anything! The catch is that the MOC has to include two or more launchers (Cordak, Midak, Kanoka, Rhotuka, etc.). They can be two or more of the same launcher, or a combination of different launchers. Be as creative in their placement and use as possible (whether or not they function is up to you, but still, try to be creative). Creations can have up to 50% system parts. Entries will be accepted starting now, and to enter, place a comment in this blog entry with the following: Name: Entry Pic: Topic URL (if applicable): Deadline has been extended until June 25th! Entries will be accepted until June 25, 2008 at 11:59:59 Central Time. Questions about the contest can also be placed here. There will also be a content block in this blog with all current contest entries. Argy

Yes, the deadline for entries for The Observatory's Blog Contest has passed, but I just found out that I won't have time to organize polls today as I had intended. As a result, I won't be able to make polls at all until the 26th. Because of that, I feel as though it makes since to extend the contest deadline another week. New (and absolute final) deadline is June 25th at 11:59:59 PM Central Time. Those of you who missed the deadline now have one more week to finish up your entries. Argy
