Welcome to the first edition of...
Hello BZPower members! I am pleased to present to you the first edition of the BZP MoCist Duels blog contest, brought to you by the "Emerald Bricks" blog, and hosted by ~GreenBioGuy~.
Here is how the contest shall be conducted:
~ ONLY those members which have placed 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in a BBC contest or have won an official LEGO Building challenge may enter.
~ I shall post a seperate blog entry that you shall use to enter the contest.
~ To enter, s
... according to MoCing level, what would you say if I asked you to rate me from 1 - 5? I would have to say... 3.5.
BTW, I believe that I have decided upon the rules for the blog contest, and the starter blog entry should be up earlier on in the week!
~GBG~
I reached 1000 posts today replying in my Certavus topic. .:Toa Velox:., Major Marvelous, and ChocolateFrogs, I responded to your comments in detail if you are interested in taking a look at what I said!

Well guys, the last round seemed... um... rather unanimous in who the winner was, so I decided to move on to round two before the deadline (which was Monday). But before I do so, please join me in a round of applause for the winner of round one!
Roa McToa!!!
*Round of applause*
Congrats Roa!
If any of you (especially our duelists) would rather us finish the voting, then please say so. I also think that it would be good to start the round just before the weekend, so that you guys can hav
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!
~GBG~
I just wanted to remind you guys to vote in the final round of the MoCist Duels Contest. Roa and DV are tied, and we still need someone to break that tie! The voting shall continue throughout the rest of the day as well as all of tomorrow. The final Duel results shall hopefully be posted up Saturday morning.
New to the contest? Click here.

This blog entry is for the sole use of members entering the BZP MoCist Duels Contest. Any other comments shall be deleted.
Please include your display name and the name of the contest that you won, as well as what place you completed in it.
REMEMBER: Only those winners which have placed 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in a BBC contest or have won an Official LEGO Challenge may enter.
Thank you.

I worked outside in the yard for 6.5 hours today...
My legs feel completely drained of energy, but I feel very good about all I got done!
Mowing, weed-eating (edge trimming), and hauling cut up wood (we had a huge tree fall in our yard)
Now to work on my robot a little bit...
Please send me mind waves of inspiration! I'm having a bit of trouble with the torso. >_<
~GBG~
... 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.
I'm considering on purchasing individual parts from online stores (as opposed to sets). I'm wanting to expand my inventory a bit in terms of functional pieces and some flair pieces. Specifically, I would love to know what the best pieces for fusion building are. I know of pieces like the brick/socket and the brick/ball pieces, etc. Got any other suggestions? Of course I'll get some extra connector 1x3 +O+ and some of those 1x2 ++ pieces. I'm always needing more of those. XD I've also got my eyes
Guys and Gals, I am wondering if I should change my user name. I really like the one that I have, but I thought that it would be good to have a simple one or two word name, like Tufi Piyufi, Darth Vader, Blue Diamond or Cajun. ~GreenBioGuy~ is neat, and it seems to roll off of the tongue, but it is also a bit complicated and long.
So, do you think that my name is good the way it is? Or would it be a good idea to switch to a more simple name that is more straight forward (and doesn't have any
Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to present the first round within the first BZP MoCist Duels blog contest!
To start things off, I present to you our two duelists... Please give a hearty round of applause to...
Darth Vader and Roa McToa!
*enthusiastic applause*
Ok you two, here's the scoop. I shall give you a list of criteria that you must (or must not) contain in your MoC. Once this blog entry is posted, you shall then have 72 hours to complete your MoC and PM it to me. Do not post
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
What's up with Majhost.com? I can't get on it, and none of the pics from the site are loading here on BZPower. I would like to upload my navigator images, but I can't at the moment. Does anyone know? I hope that they come up soon, seeing as my blog contest will start next week (if maj still isn't working, I probably won't start it then). Are there any other image uploading websites out there?

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
Smeag fixed the polls. Apparently, my poll got eaten by the server or something.
Anyhow, here it is: clicky to vote for the G.B.G.!
Thank you muchly in advance.

You read correctly: I'm not entering.
It was a very tough decision, but I had to make it in the end. Simply put, I just wasted an entire school day trying to finish it up (I'm homeschooling, so I'm flexible). Ok, not the whole day, but most of it. The whole time, I just felt like I was hitting my head against a brick wall. I couldn't figure anything good out for the arms with the pieces I had left. I can't tell you how aggravating that felt. Just making no progress at all really...

Well hello BZP people out there! I am shocked to see that it has been nearly a month since my last blog entry! I think that it is high time for an update!
Ok, let's see... to start off with, the main reason that I have not been blogging (or doing much else around here) is because a) I have been doing other more important things and B) I hit one of my BZP low spots (I go in spurts of being real active and then not).
I have just finished checking up on all of the news and reading the new se
Got a quick question for ya.
I'm planning on ordering some parts from (the you-know-which site), and the only shops from which a certain piece can be attained are located in the Netherlands. Considering that the deadline for the contest is a little over two weeks away, do you think that the pieces would have enough time to arrive on time? I know that it differs with each seller, but what has been your experience in the past? (for those of you who have ordered from this site)
Thanks in adva
Rocks!
Seriously. Don't believe me? Head over to Apple's website and check it out. The new iPhone G3 is twice as fast as its predecessor, is thinner, and on top of that, the price has been cut in half. This new edition is starting at 8 Gigabytes for $200 bucks. Wowee. Don't forget that the iPhone is a full iPod (music and movie playing gadget), a web browser (it can do e-mail too, and has full wireless technology), and (of course) it's a phone. Sweetness. I would really like to get one eventu
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'm wondering exactly how much of my Certavus entry must be custom. I've seen several other members (the good ones) make heavily customized body parts. I didn't do that because I felt that I wanted Certavus to look set like and yet still be very different from the other Glatorian. Ordinarily I would want a customized body/parts, but for this contest I'm thinking that it would be better to hold off.
Thoughts?
