Where to get the new sets!

If you're struggling to find the new Bionicle sets (like me), then you'll be happy to know that Barnes and Noble is selling them. My local B&N has all of the Toa, but none the Protectors. Also, if you order online, you get free shipping on orders over $25, and unlike the LEGO store, you don't have to pay sales tax.

What's your favorite font?

Recently I've been sifting through different fonts, trying to find the right one. I've settled for a font called Avenir:     Isn't that just the loveliest font you've ever seen?   Are there any fonts you're partial to?

What to do with your Gold Masks

Are your 2015 Gold Masks sitting at the side of your desk serving no purpose whatsoever? Perhaps you should build this simple rack out of common pieces to put them on display!   Front Back   Posting this here since I don't think it belongs in BBC. The bonus with this is that they have eyes, and you can pretty much use any color you'd like!

Tuning out of a story at the very end

This should be a criminal offense...maybe then I'd stop doing it.   Still haven't finished Death Note. I was really into that show, made it to the second-to-last episode, really wanted to see how it ended - then three years passed and I still haven't finished it.   Star Trek: The Next Generation. Freaking loved the show, watched all seven seasons, but still haven't watched the last episode. Been putting that off for months.   Now I'm re-reading Harry Potter, and I'm at the very end of the fourth

To Charleston!

On May 15th I may be making the 8-hour trip to Charleston, SC, to see my oldest brother graduate from his military training, and after visiting for a couple of days I'll be returning with my belongings (PC & speakers & Midi keyboard & other things that I've missed dearly). I mean it's probably going to happen, it just depends on the condition of my parent's car. So I'm really amped right now and just wanted to share with someone!   One or two or none of you may have noticed that my a

Those little "I'm an adult now" revelations

Recently I've been wanting some pumpkin pie. Just, I don't know, I love pumpkin pie, and I want to have some. Well as it turns out, I've been lied to, for you see pumpkin pie is in fact not seasonal. I always thought you could only get it on Thanksgiving, since that was the only time my family ever served this particular treat.   Delighted, I picked up a can of pumpkin, and the ingredients from the recipe on the back - evaporated milk, seasonings, pie shell, all that good stuff - and just ten mi

The Creature that never was.

I've been building some Creatures with the new sets for my next combiner series, and here's an alternate for Melum...that I can't finish.     Isn't it such a cute little snow turtle thing? There aren't any good parts left for a head. Poor adorable little snow critter doesn't get to be in the project.

The Broken Joints Graveyard

Spent half an hour fishing broken joints from my Bionicle drawers, took some photos.   Here is the whole pile of broken joints. May they rest in pieces.   Most of them just had small, unexciting cracks, so I picked out all the horribly disfigured parts and took some glamour shots.     The obligatory 2007 lime green comparison. I was actually surprised to have so many still in tact, but I've probably never MOCed with those pieces since they're so fragile.   To be honest though, I think this is t

SW: Yay

I wasn't sure if I'd be able to see Force Awakens, but my brother decided to treat us to tickets tomorrow!   Confession: I haven't even seen the trailer.   I'm excited. And, I haven't even had anything spoiled yet. Wonderful.

Summer Bionicle Endeavors

The Summer wave is firing up and I'm really hyped. As of right now I won't be able to afford the Skull baddies, but I'll definitely buy Basher as soon as he hits the shelves, and hopefully the others before too long. I want to do a "Wildlife of the Ancient City" project, like a "Wildlife of Okoto 2.0:" Combiners for the Skull villains. Probably a lot of skeletal, undead Rahi to fit the wave's theme. Who knows what creepy wildlife has been developing in the spooky, abandoned city?   I also made a

Soundtrack: Region of Jungle (WiP)

I'm planning a third installment to my Wildlife Combiners series, which will be called Creatures of Okoto. I'd like to make a video for the project, and what can I do to make the video special?   Well, I decided to make a soundtrack for each Region. I've got some concepts for all six regions of Okoto, but the Region of Jungle is already a full song, and I'm going to share it here to hopefully get some feedback.   https://soundcloud.com/nascentmusic/region-of-jungle/s-qCl4X   The idea is that thi

Slicer's Grappler

I built Slicer's chain-grappler thing today to see how it works. This gif about sums it up.   The only thing that's gonna grapple is his bony shins. It's a neat idea, but I think it'll be too frustrating to play with. It does look cool though, and it can hold Lewa's mask alright.

Purple Mixel MOCs

So far I own Glomp, Wizwuz, Magnifo, and Niksput, and they are all super fun. Here are a couple little guys I made for fun this morning. Mixels are a lot of fun to build!

Producing Again

I was forced to take a hiatus from producing music, but as of a couple days ago I am able to make stuff again! Here's the first thing I've made in eight months.   When I first got my computer set up, I started producing immediately, but it was awful. I couldn't do the most basic things. Fortunately I wrapped my head around everything pretty quickly, and right now I am working on a Bionicle song that I've been wanting to start for a month or so. It uses samples from the webisodes, and there are s

PREVIEW: Creatures of Okoto

Creatures of Okoto (...Preview.)   I'm moving pretty soon, and starting to work, and having to leave some stuff behind, and probably taking a little hiatus from Bionicle, at least to some degree. I'll still log on here and do This Month in Bionicle, but MOCs will probably be difficult, so Creatures of Okoto is being postponed. But, since I have a handful of combiners already, I'm going to share what I've got, rather than just sitting on them.   So, these are all made with the 2016 sets, and

I was quite surprised when I logged on that I had the Premier Outstanding BZP Citizenship status today, and it was nice! =D Anyways, it's nice to be Premier agian. =) Another six months of joyous perks...

Playing with the new Technic parts

Those 90 degree axle pieces are new to me, and I've been itching to do something interesting with them. Here's what I came up with.     It's really easy to build, and works wonderfully - the claws snap open and closed, and have enough force to lift medium-weight Bionicle parts.

Packing

I'm moving in ten days. I'll probably make a post about that later, but right now I'm starting to gather my things, and decide what to bring, what to leave here, and what to toss (since I really can't leave much here in storage).   So I guess it's time to say goodbye to the ol' LEGO Magazine collection: Guess it's not a big deal, since I never read them anyway. I think I'll just keep a few for memories' sake.   I'm also going to throw away a bunch of my Bionicle canisters: Mostly, I'm going to

One year of MOCs

I've been busy as a Bohrok this year in my MOC building, so here's a little review of everything I made in 2015. Life is starting to speed up through January and February, so I don't know how active I can be in 2016, but I'll still be here on BZP. I know I couldn't live with myself if I faded away from the Bionicle reboot.   Speaking of which, I'll be heading to the store soon, since the local Target supposedly has some 2016 Bionicle sets in stock. Time to spend that Christmas money.

Nervous stuttering

I've got an interview for a job tonight. This'll be my first interview. Just had it scheduled half an hour ago when I called to follow up on my application.

MOO

But seriously. I just wanted to give a little update on Music of Okoto - I put it off for, like, two months, but I'm still going to finish it. Been working on it a lot the past few days.   Music of Okoto is a series of in-universe songs from the G2 Bionicle universe, as in, the music that the villagers play. There will be one song for each Region, and maybe a few extras. Here's a detailed report of how much I have made:   RoJ: 1 song finished. RoE: 1 song conceptualized, haven't really started t

Merry Christmas

There's your Christmas tree.   I just wanted to pop in and say Merry Christmas to all you bloggers. Today I'll be enjoying an awesome ham and wishing that Florida had some snow. 2015 should be an interesting year, so perhaps I will have some things to post here in the future.   Merry Christmas!
