Intro
So tonight brings us some nice discussions that cover a variety of recent happenings on BZPower. Some interesting stuff, I hope.
Updates
First things first, congratulations to Shilo and Ben (Omicron and ChocolateFrogs, respectively), who, along with myself, were BZPower's nominees for the Lego Ambassador program. The latest I've heard is that the selection committee is having a hard time narrowing down the pool since there were so many great candidates. Hopefully that means one of us
A couple Sundays ago I finally went to see Iron Man with a friend. He's always been one of my favorite Marvel heroes; I guess his lack of 'powers' and he intelligence and mechanical ability appeal to me. Plus, powered armor rocks. I thought they did the character justice in the movie, while at the same time effectively updating it to modern times (terrorists instead of communists and things like that). It was a good movie, not too long, with a lot of action, and a nice mix of comedy thrown in. N
Intro
Tonight's update will hopefully be pretty good. I have a few topics worth discussing. We can talk about promotions, Ambassadors, and member behavior, oh my!
Updates
So, this past week we had two pretty major staff promotions (which happened to coincide with two people stepping down). First, which most of you have probably seen by now, is the ToM Dracone, or Yannick, is now part of the BZPower news team. If you've read any of his reviews on BZP, you know what a skilled writer he is. We

Short update this week. Someone need to give me an idea for something to discuss.
Updates
So, first up on the list is that Lego is taking applications for new Lego Ambassadors, and BZPower (along with other Lego communities on the Internet) get to help nominate candidates. We get to nominate up to three people to be considered for the position, with at most one from the community being selected. If you're 18 or older and are interested (no matter where in the world you live) by all me
Intro
I'm hoping tonight won't be as boring as the past few weeks. To find out for yourself, read on!
Updates
So the biggest news, I think is last night's promotion. Once again, congratulations Toaraga! I'm sure he'll do a great job, he was already nuking signatures last night, so he's off to a good start. Unfortunately that means Janus is no longer a Global Moderator. This was his choice, as he felt he no longer had sufficient free time to continue with the work and get other things done.
Intro
We've definitely hit a slow period here on BZPower, slow news, slow updates, slow server. Oh wait, that's been going on for a while. Anyway, thanks for joining us for yet another Weekly Update.
Updates
Thanks for all your input in the spoiler policy poll. Bones and the rest of the Reference Team have been poring over the results to come up with a unified spoiler policy that will be implemented in the future. You will follow it or face the penalties, which have yet to be determined.
Intro
Today is the last Weekly Update in April. What does that mean? Absolutely nothing, but I thought I'd point it out. Anyway, we have a whole lot of nothing for you tonight, with some more rehashes of stuff you've already been told. Yeah I know it's no fun, but it's the truth.
Updates
So, first things first, the Calendar. A couple events are up there - if you look hard enough, you might find something really cool. Speaking of calendar events, go let us know what you think our spoiler pol
Intro
Doctor Who season premier on SciFi tonight, so I better get this done quickly! A lot of people are really busy this time of year, what with taxes, and semesters ending, and AP tests approaching, so don't be surprised by the lack of activity.
Updates
One piece of news I'm happen to report on is that is all goes well we should have a new set review up tomorrow! You'll have to wait to see what the set is, but there aren't very many options at this point.
The setting for the calendar h
Intro
Another week, another update. Not very much exciting to discuss, but read what you will and enjoy.
Updates
We're looking into getting the calendar started up and populated with events soon by our staff members. And maybe we'll let you guys add some events at some point. If we do they'll be moderated so we have to approve them before they're live. If you can think of any types of things you want to see on the calendar, let us know so we can include them.

Intro
Welcome to the BZPower Weekly Update. As always I'm here to tell you about stuff that's happening on BZPower and such. And then it will be time to watch some Battlestar Galactica before the final season premiers.
Updates
Obviously the biggest news this week was the announcement of a new line of Bionicle books. Ok, so maybe it was an April Fools joke, but it was still pretty funny. Major thanks go to Bionicle.com webmaster and former BZP Admin Binkmeister. He pretty much thought up the
Intro
Thank you for joining me for another fun-filled weekly update. Well, maybe the filling won't be fun, but that's up to you to decide. Read on to find out.
Updates
So the response from last week about the member interviews was pretty positive. So much so that we're hoping to move forward with it soon. Not sure when, but when we are there will be an official-type announcement. Just so you all know, this is an example of a member suggesting an idea and us running with it and making it hap
Intro
Today is the first full day of Spring, and with the return of warmer weather in the Northern hemisphere I was greeted this morning to a reading of 29° F on my thermometer this morning. Spring may be a wash so far, but today's Weekly Update isn't. Read on to see what we have in store.
Updates
Currently there are two contests going on here at BZPower that hopefully most of you are aware of. Voting has begun in the BBC Contest #48: A Slice of Life. Semifinal voting ends tonight and the f
Intro
It's not quite the Ides of March, but in fact, it's better. It's PI DAY. The day to celebrate such an important number in the world of mathematics. I will be celebrating after I post this. Oh and also it's time for our Weekly Update.
Updates
Unfortunately I was not able appear on LAML Radio this past week. I was sick on Saturday. I should be able to get on there in the next couple of weeks though.
It's been pretty slow in terms of Bionicle news, so there's not much to discuss this
Intro
This week seems to be another Mailbag Extravaganza, so there probably won't be a whole lot else here. I'll see what I can do though.
Updates
So first off, I'd like to once again congratulate Nikira, Taka-Tahu-Nuva, and Takuta-Nui as our newest Forum Assistants. It's always how funny how nervous they are at first but how quickly they settle into their new roles. What can I say, I pick them good.
That's pretty much all I have to say this week, things have been very slow and life has
Intro
Welcome back to what I'm sure you all look forward to on Friday evenings: BZPower's Weekly Update. Not much new these past seven days, but take a gander anyway.
Updates
Congratulations to Kex and Smeagol4, our newest Forum Leaders. I think everyone agrees that they earned it with all the hard work they've put into the site over the years.
In other news, we should have a new set review up tomorrow, after a bit of a hiatus. Don't worry, we haven't forgotten about them. After the init
Intro
Alas, ToyFair has come and gone, and we have to wait until next year for similar excitement. Our coverage isn't quite done yet, you can expect one more article about the new sets that weren't on display at the Collector's Party. But now it's back to the grindstone.
Updates
First off, I'd like to thank Andrew M for coming up to NYC and attending Toy Fair with me. I'm glad he was able to come and hopefully in the future he'll be able to join me again. I'm not going into discussion of th
So, yesterday was the Lego Collector's Party for Toy Fair in New York City. Being that I live nearby I headed over into Manhattan to attend, accompanied eventually by that other Andrew, Smeagol4, and later, by LehvakLah. It was a fun and dangerous trip, one that shall be made into songs and epics, and perhaps even a full-length motion picture.
It begins... at the beginning...
(Note: I apologize for the darkness of some of the pictures. Some of the settings on my camera got messed up and I
Intro
Welcome back to another edition of the weekly update. I'm your host Black Six, but you can call me Andrew. Let's see what's happened this past week in the Bionicle world. Eh, who am I kidding, things have been dull... for now!
Updates
The highlight of tonight is the Mailbag. I had a massive number of questions submitted over the past week and it took a while to work through them all, so the rest of this issue might not be that long. Sorry, you'll get over it.
One thing I mention in
Intro
First and foremost: congratulations Giants! Sorry Patriots fans, but it was a great game, and the best team won.
Anyway, Bionicle. There were definitely some interesting stories this week and it should be interesting to see how they turn out in the long run.
Updates
One of the biggest stories this week is that Wal Mart stores have stopped ordering Lego products. Anything you see on the shelves is all that's going to be there until some sort of deal gets worked out. Some people have
Intro
So, the weekend is upon us again. And that of course means it's time for another Weekly Update. Read on to see what's new this week.
Updates
It's been another week and we've had no more reports of the virus affecting anyone. I'm glad things have finally cleared up.
The announcement I mentioned last week was of course that all forum staff have been given the ability to approve posts. This has definitely sped things up and gets new members onto BZP faster. It's good to see things wor
Intro
It's that time of week again. BZPower has been pretty slow lately, but there are a few things on the horizon. Read on to see what's up!
Updates
First off, as you can see in this story our recent virus problems have now been solved. If you still see some kind of message, clear your cache/temporary internet files and try again.
Next up, reviews have been going great! Vamprah should be up tomorrow with any luck, and there's at least one more on standby after that. The new review syste
Tonight the New York Giants defeated the Green Bay Packers and won the NFC Championship. They'll move on in two weeks to face the New England Patriots in Superbowl XLII. It was a very close game score-wise and a real nail-biter in the end. But if you watched, the Giants played the better game (in my opinion). Our defense played extremely well and won the game for us (especially considering Webster's interception in overtime to get us the ball back). Our offense had a decent night, with a few mis
Intro
Very short update this week. Not much to say with school back in session.
Updates
We've been getting a lot of reviews up lately. Other than that there hasn't been much. We're still working on cleaning up the server, making a little progress, but no big updates.
You will see something tomorrow, but you'll have to wait until then to see it
Mailbag
1)We work things out so there are no duplicate reviews.
2)I have a template
3)I'll wait until I see the summer sets at ToyFair.

Intro
Another Friday, another week in review. There has been plenty of little things popping up recently worth discussing, and I will do so here. So let's see what happened over the past few days.
Updates
First and foremost, we are aware of the leaked images of the summer 2008 sets. Lego has asked us not to post any images until Toy Fair in February, and we intend to oblige. If they start to become a serious problem, the usual warnings and administrative actions will be taken.
Next up, w
My break is unfortunately coming to an end and soon it will be time to go back to classes. It's been a fun few weeks though, I've been able to hang out with my friends a lot and catch up from the past semester. But now it's come to saying goodbyes again. Only a few of us are left, and I go back this coming weekend. It will be a change, getting used to a semi-rigid schedule again, we'll see how it goes.
While I'm not enjoying the company of my compadres I've been enjoying a bunch of other thin
