Also, BBCC #56 entry TOPIC. I'd love your comments!

Yesssss!!! I have FINALLY gotten Metus!
Do you want to guess what shipping is for a little Agori on LEGO.com + tax? All told, the total would have been about $13, the price of the Glatorian themselves. Rest assured, I did not go by that route! Rather, my mom found him this morning in Target. And thus, she got him for me! (I still have to pay for him of course. )
So anyway, I now have the helmet for Certavus. I've tried it on, and I gotta say: I like it. I'm hoping to have him up some
(A Glatorian I has)
So, guess the color anyone? ...
Green you say? WRONG! Mwahaha! I gotcha thar!

It's white. And blue. And spiky. It's Strakk! Why Strakk you ask? One word: Certavus. Yep, I am planning on entering, and I needed some ice themed pieces, so... you get the picture. I wanted to get Metus as well (super cool snowflake thingy! ) but Target didn't have him (for once, couldn't you have them all?! :angry: ). I'm still gonna be lookin' for his little Agori companio
I guess I can has!
Well, I'm a avid Mac user, but there comes a time when one would like to have your old PC games to play all portable-like on your laptop, so I went and downloaded Windows XP onto my Mac using Boot Camp (yes, you can do that; nifty, huh?). The copy of XP is the one my family has downloaded on our iMac downstairs in the school-room (I home-school, for you people who haven't read my Bio content block), and we rarely ever use it.
Anywhoo, I attempted to install and play se

Well hi Guyz!
My, it's been so long, I don't quite know what to say... BBCC Entry perhaps?
Basically, I just popped on BZPower last Thursday out of curiosity (because I hadn't been on in a good while) and checked the BBC Forum for a contest. Sure enough, #56 was under way and I found the theme intriguing. I checked the deadline, and found out that (what-do-ya-know) it was three days away. I dropped the subject mentally and went on my way. Well, on Friday I g
For Bink's contest?
The philosophical square root of Black Six's right toe is less than the absolute value of Tufi minus ToM in addition to the hierarchical overruling awesomeness that is purple cacti. Add the resulting factors of the prior equation to the cube root of Niki and a brown frog is born in a barn on the peak of mt. Everest. Subtract the sum of 64 and Wii to find the unknownable common factor of the White Seven and solve the problem of moldy cheese to achieve world domination. The

The Polls to BBCC #52 are up! No, that's not the bad news. The bad news is: I'M NOT IN THE POLLS! Anywhere. That's right, and I can't find Roa's entry either! It seems that Smeag left out ten or so people. How can I tell? There are only 10 polls, and there are 111 entries. With no more than 10 entries per poll... you do the math. we're short a poll people. :angry:
I really hope this gets fixed...

Well, this afternoon I got Turaga Starz Taka on impulse. I was actually looking to see if they had any Atlantis sets yet (I had no idea when they were being released). They did not, and I moseyed on down to the BIONICLE section and saw the starz sets just sitting there as happy as could be. My eyes fell on Taka, and it occured to me that he was white and my current MoC project is white themed as well. Upon inspecting the included pieces, I came to the conclusion that the purchasing of said set c
... for the second half of the semis and all of the finals, which will make it all the more interesting when I get back to see the results!
Where will I be? Well, I'm leaving on a mission trip tomorrow morning with my youth group, and I won't be back until Friday afternoon. It's actually just to the downtown area of my city, but it's gonna be great none-the-less. We will mostly be doing manual labor stuff along the lines of repairing houses (a house actually, I think), among other things.
Ok, I'm about fed up with MoCing at the moment. I've used most of my good pieces and I'm running short on small technic connector pieces (specifically the (+O+) ones). Gah, I'm hitting a serious block for the arms. I think I may have something going, but we'll see. I love the rest of the MoC, but the tough part will be fitting in the arm's style with the rest of it...
For those of you who do, prayers for inspiration would be wonderful.

Name change to that? ^^^
Thoughts?
Also, Project Fusion is progressing very well. I do believe that the torso and arms are for the most part complete and I just need to duplicate the lower left leg and foot for the right side and then come up with a fluid upper leg design that is better than the current one. Still no idea when it'll be done though, much less pictures be taken. I'm considering doing WIP pics soon. If I get enough requests I probably will.

Anyway, it's looking as if DV and Roa and going to have a match coming up! We shall see... In the mean time, I would like to thank all of you who have participated in this blog contest so
Hey guys! I just thought that I would run down a list of current events and/or things to do around here:
- Enter Bone's Blog contest (I have begun on the entry, and yessss..... I am liking the idea very much)
- Enter S&T contest #4 (I have a few ideas bouncing around)
- Make a navigator block for my blog (any suggestions?)
- Finish and post my Indiana Jones film review in my blog (I went to see it, and I will tell you right now, it was alot better than I was expecting, and I would high
Ok guys, I have gotten alot of good feedback on this contest proposal (see blog entry before this one), and thus I believe that I shall go through with it. However, there are still a few things that need to be smoothed over/decided upon:
~ The MoCing period. The options:
a - 24 hrs
b - 48 hrs
c. - 72 hrs
~ Who can enter. The options:
a - Only members that have come in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place in a BBCC; or members that have won a LEGO Mag Challeng
Congratulations Arpy on winning the BZPower MoCist duels contest!
Here is your trophy!:
I must say, really liked your entry. The use of two masks was good, I like the colors, and the build of the guy was great. You conformed to the criteria well, and I think that you deserved the win here. (unlike the winner of the last contest... *cough cough*)
Anyway, in terms of real life (yes, such a thing does exist, for you internet addicts out there) I will be rather busy this semester, so
I'm wondering how to do my Certavus' color scheme. Currently, I've got a majority of white over light blue with a strategic spattering of trans-blue throughout. I have used as little black as possible (next to zero) and I'm using a bit of gray.
However, I'm wondering: should I use something that I would actually associate with an ice Glatorian (like white and light blue), or should I do something completely different for uniqueness sake? I want to use white for sure, but what about the secon
All that I'm lacking is his helmet. I still can't find Metus anywhere, so my dad is ordering him this evening. He should be in before next week, which will give me plenty of time for photography (It's spring break!!! )
Aside from the helmet, everything else is pretty much complete in my opinion. His color scheme is as follows: white, white armor, some gray spattering with light blue as his secondary color. In addition, he has some trans/light blue highlights.
He possesses a crystal sword/
No, sorry, this is not a post on the MoCist Duels. Rather, it is a request for some advice.
Namely, how do you make a titan sized MoC stand up for an extended period of time? I am currently in the process of working on a new MoC of mine, and it is very hard to pose. The tough part is that I have given him reverse ankles, and thus his center of balance is a bit off... I guess. So, calling all of you experienced MoCists out there, I need your advice!

I believe that one of the lessons that I learned with the recent happening over in BBC is that I have been siphoning too much of my time into BZPower. I put so much time and emotional energy into the contest, but then in a matter of minutes all of my hopes went kaput. It showed me that it all really just doesn't matter that much ultimately. As such, I have decided that I am going to take a break from BZPower this week. You can still leave comments or send me messages, but don't expect replies un

I am sure that most of you remember the rules from last time, but here they are again, with a few modifications (the largest of which is that there is only one round, as opposed to three, like last time):
