Conclusion
G'nite.
If you were at BrickFair this year and lost something, check out this page. Please spread the word so that we can get these MOCs and belongings back to their proper owners.
Also, you get a major kudos is you get the reference in the title without looking it up.
Intro
After last week's brief update I thought maybe I should give you guys an actual update. (Although the minimalist thing seemed to go over well.)
Updates
So, BrickFair was already like a week away, and everyone who was there is now sad that it's over. We're all still very tired too, and are slowly going through our pictures. Thanks to this thing called a job, I've yet to sort any of my 939 pictures yet, let alone do any editing. This weekend, I hope.
We did get some coverage up, howe
Nine years ago today I joined a little site known as The Bionicle Zone - little did I know that it would affect my life in so many ways.
Shortly after joining I became one of the first few moderators, thanks to my activity in the Promotions and other forums. I helped get the RPG Forum started and have been running that ever since. I became a Reporter, a Global Moderator, and finally, an Admin. I was even really inactive for a while, like one of those staff members that's still lurking around
So, here's what I've taken away from BrickFair this year. It was originally going to be a list, but that's been done by others so I thought it best to go pure-prose. This is just a first glimpse, hopefully this weekend there will be more coverage.
After five events of figuring out what I should pack and what I shouldn't, my car was still jam-packed driving there and coming back. Even though I gave away a whole bunch of sets, some prototypes, and some prizes for a few contests. At least I had
Intro
This is unfortunately posted a bit late, thanks to some server difficulties going on last night, but I don't think that makes it any less of a Weekly Update - honest!
Updates
Aside from our amazing anniversary celebrations, it's been a pretty slow week, but that's ok because BrickFair is right around the corner! I'm hoping we have something super-fun to announce this weekend or early next week.
We also had our first member creation spotlight. Wasn't it great? Look for more soon!
Intro
It's a late update this week, but that's because I've been so busy with BZPower stuff!
Updates
So I heard it's like, our anniversary or something. Nine years is crazy, right? It boggles my mind to think that our site has been going on and thriving for this long - our members really are amazing, even though they whine and complain a bit. We wouldn't be here without you!
We like to try to celebrate things in as big a way as possible on our anniversary. Of course that means Premier pe
Intro
It's the weekend again! Someone should count how many of these I've done, so I can know if it's enough that I can stop now. Anyway, on with the update!
Updates
After I posted my update last week, a new serial debuted. I think Yesterday Quest stirred up a bit of controversy but also brought a bunch of new facts to life, for better or worse.
On the Hero Factory side, a new promo video was posted this week too. At about the same time, the sets themselves appeared on LEGO Shop@Home. Yo
Intro
Back again for another week. I guess that means you should be updated. Do people actually like these, or is it just a wasted exercise? Let me know in the comments.
Updates
We had another wonderful Hero Factory review last weekend, courtesy of Darth Vader. These sets don't seem to be all that bad. You can expect another review this weekend, though it won't be Hero Factory. We will be reviewing more of those sets though, so keep your eyes peeled.
There's been a bunch of Hero Factory
Intro
This is the first Weekly Update of the rest of your life, also, the first one from my new place. But that's the topic of another entry. You guys are here for BZPower stuff, I'm sure.
Updates
And there's not much. It's a holiday weekend and all, and we're busy.
The BBC Contest deadline has been extended until July 10th, and we've announced some pretty awesome (and appropriate) prizes for it. Huge thanks to Cryoshell, the team at Advance, and Kelly for hooking us up. Don't you want t
Intro
It is summer at long last. That means summer break for all you kids and lots of nice, warm weather. It doesn't mean a stop for the Weekly Updates either!
Updates
To start things off, recently there have been a couple instances of members' accounts being compromised and used to spread inappropriate messages. If you see the forums go offline, or receive a notice that you have a new PM that suddenly disappears, this is probably the reason. We're constantly looking for ways to improve the
Intro
It is Friday yet again, and, horrible ref calls aside, it's a pretty decent Friday. A perfect Friday, you might say, for an update.
Updates
Unfortunately, there's not a huge amount to update about, but I'll see what I can do.
We had a review last week of a rather small and seemingly-inconsequential set. But we here at BZPower think every set is important, and hope to bring you a wide range of reviews, from large to small. So, like we said when we started reviewing non-Bionicle sets
Intro
Welcome back to our update that takes place each week. After last week, it's going to be a bit hard to follow up after those sig guidelines from last week.
Updates
Lots of BrickFair news this week. Benjamin posted up some BrickFair shipping info for sending your MOCs and artwork to the event. I hope to see a lot of your creations there! In other news, there's been some mosaic news - we need your help with it!
We recently discovered word on a new Hero Factory set that's coming out a
Intro
I welcome you once again to this hebdomadal update of mine. Boy do we have things to discuss. Let's get started!
Updates
As I foresaw last week, we had a set review go up - Jet Ray by Darth Vader. People don't seem to like the Ben 10 sets that much, although Pat does see some MOCing potential in the many new parts that appear in these sets.
We also posted a reminder about BrickFair, if you're attending or want to send in MOCs, be sure to read it. As always, it's sure to be a great
Intro
Here we are, two entries in two days, something a cool and something boring and periodic (I'm assuming the boring part since comments seem to be on the decline). Anyway, stand back and prepare to be updated!
Updates
New set review went up this week. Hopefully another one will appear this weekend. It may even make some people slightly more pleased than some of the previous reviews. I'm not sure why though, that Imperial Flagship is amazing.
Not much else has been going on in the wor
So today was a big day - I finished that school thing called college. It's been a long, hard road, but it's finally done. I got all gussied up in a cap and gown and stoles so I could march in a procession, cross a stage, and receive several pieces of paper that are all I have to show for the large amount of money that was spent on my education.
I had been really worried about the weather, first they were saying it was going to be 90°, then there was a chance of thunderstorms, but in the end i
Intro
The end of the week is here, which means it's time for an update of weekly proportions (that is to say, not very big).
Updates
For all you story fans out there, the final chapter of Reign of Shadows went up this week. Another chapter closes, but that leaves room for new ones to open! Yay! Well, if you like that sort of thing anyway.
In other news, someone discovered the LEGO Multimedia Station on iTunes. I'm trying to find out some more information about it, but nothing yet. So fa
Intro
One of these days, I'm going to take the week off. The question remains: will people be shocked and awed, or will no one really care?
Updates
Valenti reviewed the TIE Defender, a set which I admire. I look forward to a sale so I can pick it up - personally for $35 I'd buy it. If you're still unconvinced, go back and read the review again. Think of how many X-Wings you could take down in that thing. (The answer is a LOT: I've played TIE Fighter longer than I should admit, I know.)

Intro
I suppose it is that time again. I'll have to tear myself away from the Halo: Reach Beta for a bit to write some things up for you guys. Here we go!
Updates
It's going to be interesting finding stuff to talk about now. All the major story updates are done and gone, so Bionicle news is going to be hard to come by. You guys are going to have to accept that we're going to be posting more general LEGO stuff on the front page. Such is life.
Speaking of which, Jason posted a set review e
Intro
How did it get to be this late on a Friday already? I'm glad the semester is just about over. But you probably don't care about that.
Updates
Go check out the latest episode of the BZPowercast! It's nice and short this time. Let us know if you like this or if you prefer longer shows.
So Journey's End and the Mata Nui Saga both concluded this week. If you haven;t checked them out yet, you're missing out.
I have so many mailbag questions to answer this week that I don't have time
Intro
Slow week and a busy night. That's the perfect recipe for a short update.
Updates
So, we're planning on trying to do some stuff for BrickFair in August. If you have any ideas for things we should plan, like contests, or giveaways, or other things we can involve all of you guys in, let me know!
We're trying to wrap up some other longstanding projects. But the end of April and May means finals for a lot of us, which equals no free time.
And there you have it.

Intro
It is that time of week again, time for the Weekly Update! Aren't you all so excited?
Updates
So we had some promotions tonight. Congrats to Ta-metru_defender, Turakii #1 Lavasurfer, Toa_Velox, Nuju Metru, and 55555.I have every faith that they will perform admirably on the staff. Hopefully this will keep us well-staffed for a while now.
If you haven't already, go take a survey for LEGO. They value all of your feedback, just give some honest answers.
Behind the scenes, the BZPow
Intro
Is it Friday yet? Oh, it is! Shoot, that means I need to crank out a Weekly Update!
Updates
So we have some awesome contests going on that you should check out:
Blog Contest #2 - I talked about this with Nukaya in the last Powercast. If you like to travel or think about faraway places, you should make a cool blog theme and enter this.
BBCC #58 - For reals, this time. It's sad to think that many of you weren't alive in the 80s. You have my condolences. They were awesome. Also, you ma

Sure, he's no David Tennant, but he is definitely The Doctor.
And Steven Moffat is awesome beyond compare - I can't wait to see the weeping angels come back.
