Intro
So, it's been an interesting couple of days. I guess retirement just wasn't in the cards for me. Lucky you guys!
Updates
So, you should definitely check out the new animations that we mentioned here and here. Despite what many have said, I'm pretty sure they're not actual stop-motion, since the parts like elbows and knees are seen bending. All the same, it looks pretty cool, and you should check it out.
We also posted our ninth episode of the BZPowercast! You should listen! It's a

You guys get a very early update this week, since I'll be leaving for Boston shortly to go to PAX East!
Updates
Short update this week.
I encourage you to check out the awesome pictures LEGO sent us of the upcoming Hero Factory sets. They provide a good look at these sets, with better contrast in some cases than the ones Yannick and I took at ToyFair.
We have some more reviews coming for you soon, and other stuff too. So keep your eyes peeled.

Intro
It's time for some updates, given to you on the normal weekly basis. What do we have in store for you this week?
Updates
The story updates have been coming fast and furious. I hope all you story guys are enjoying it.
We're going to have a cool announcement for you on Monday, so stay tuned for that. LEGO is pretty awesome, and they like to share awesome things.
You may have noticed the forums were offline for a bit last weekend - that was the database maintenance we had planned.
Intro
You know, it's really quite amazing that I do fifty-two of these each year. I'm such a glutton for punishment, or as some would say, a masochist. Oh well, here we go.
Updates
These week has really been kind of slow. There were the two Mata Nui Saga and one Journey's End updates, but those were to be expected.
There was supposed to be some maintenance this weekend, but due to some other issues (not the ones we were going to be maintenance-ing) we had to delay it. I'll do my best to
I just thought I'd point out that there is a rule about imitating other members. This includes copying their name, avatar, signature, etc. It's been around for almost four years and is stated very clearly.
Now normally it is up to the member being copied to report such a thing. Just because, however, a member is banned does not make it OK to break the rules.
Oh, and as if it needed reminding: banned members are not to be discussed.
Thanks everyone, I appreciate your cooperation.
So I finally saw Up tonight. I laughed. I cried. It was an amazing movie. Highly recommended for all.
It just happens to be the only movie nominated for best picture at this year's Oscars that I've seen. But, based on what I've heard, if Avatar wins over it I'm going to lose all faith in those awards. Oh wait, that already happened in the 1994 Oscars, nevermind...
But yeah, it was an excellent movie and may make its way into my top ten favorites of all time.
Intro
Sometimes the weeks go by so fast I feel like someone installed a flux capacitor in my car. Well, here goes nothing!
Updates
I'm sure everyone's favorite news item this past week was Smeagol4's review of the Large Pink Box. I told him he was crazy for doing it, but he just laughed and kept right on going. But hey, it's LEGO and we're a LEGO fansite, so you guys will have to learn to live with some interesting reviews here and there.
Of course since it's March now that means the Fe

Since most of my time tonight has been spent on the mailbag, you don't get anything else in this weekly update.

Just kidding!
We wrapped up our Toy Fair coverage this week, looking at Bionicle, Ben 10, some Hero Factory, the rest of Hero Factory, and some games and LEGO Universe. I hope you all enjoyed it. I know Yannick and I did.
Another set review was posted this week; Bfahome reviewed the Wreck Raider to some mixed reactions. Get used to it guys. We'll still talk abo
I beat Mass Effect 2 tonight (yay, less than a month!). I thoroughly enjoyed the game and will definitely be playing through it again in the future. While at first I wasn't sure how I liked the toned-down RPG nature of it, it definitely grew on me. There are still some things I would have liked to see back, but oh well.
My two biggest gripes are scanning planets (soooo tedious) and the difficulty in getting money. In the original game you could easily but every weapon from every vendor, which
Intro
Welcome back to our heavily Toy Fair-themed Weekly Update.
Updates
While I'd love to talk about Toy Fair this whole time, there's actually been a bunch of things happening recently.
First up, the thirteenth and fourteenth chapters of the Mata Nui saga have been posted. In addition, the first chapter of The Journey's End has gone live as well.
In other Bionicle.com news, Agori Defender went live too. It's a fun little Tower Defense game that's pretty diverting too.
In controve
Yannick (ToM Dracone) came to visit this weekend for ToyFair. Last night we got some Chinese food for dinner. As is customary, at the end of our meal we each got a fortune cookie. I opened mine up and started laughing. It said:
How much more dead on could they get?
Then Yannick cracked his open, and it said the exact same thing. It was rather disappointing, but still pretty funny.
Intro
Hey everyone, welcome to this week's update.
Updates
Not much has been going on, in the big scheme of things. But Toy Fair is almost here!
Lots of story updates this week: Tenth installment of Reign of Shadows Eleventh part of the Mata Nui Saga Twelth part of the Mata Nui Saga Prologue of The Journey's End

On 2/4/10 I ordered an Xbox Live subscription card and a points card from Amazon (free Super Saver shipping).
On 2/5/10 I preordered Bioshock 2 from Amazon (free Super Saver shipping).

On 2/8/10 I received notification that my second order was being shipped from Newcastle, DE, and should arrive on 2/9/10.

Intro
I am here to enlighten and elucidate you all on this week's happenings, or some such thing like that. Really my goal is to bore you to the point where the rest of BZPower, in its boring-ness, seems fun and exciting. That may be a lie.
Updates
As I mentioned last week, the seventh episode of the BZPowercast was released. In our longest episode yet, we rant and rave for almost an hour - and that's after I edited things down. (People may tell you I took out the 'good stuff,' but trust me
Intro
To keep the theme going, I could be playing Mass Effect 2 right now! But instead I'm updating you on my usual weekly basis.
Updates
It's been a pretty slow week these past seven days, with nothing I could consider 'eventful' happening in the Bionicle news world.
But hey! I finally promoted some people! Congrats to Darth Vader, Iruini Nuva, Nukaya, Spink, and Senjo! I have every faith that they'll do a great job, otherwise I wouldn't have promoted them.

For those of you with deep pockets, you can go check out eBay and place your bid on a solid gold Hau from 2001. It's a truly amazing piece of work if you can afford it. I wish I could.
A new podcast went up on BionicleStory.com, Sahmad's Tale. It's good to see some new content covering some different aspects of the storyline.
After the reveal in ToyF
Intro
I could have watched Doctor Who all night, but I figured you guys were probably looking forward to a Weekly Update. Or if you weren't looking forward to it, you were at least expecting it to appear so you could laugh at it behind my back.
Updates
I wish something exciting had happened this week. Oh well.
BZPower received exclusive permission to host Glatorian Arena 3 on our site. Big thanks to Kelly (Binkmeister) for hooking us up, even though we all know he hates us Mac users. I k
Intro
I hope you're all enjoying 2010. Personally I think it's a little cold, even with all this global warming. Anyway, let's see what we have on tap.
Updates
As we hinted at in our recent episode of the BZPowercast, we kicked off a prototype giveaway earlier this week. It's not too late to enter the Twelve Days of BZPower. Twelve lucky members will be selected to win some awesome prototype pieces - will you be one of them?

Another holiday, and another Weekly Update. It's been a quick week with the holidays, but stuff's still been going on.
Updates
Another review went up this week, this time it was the Rahkshi, looked at by Shannara. Not many sets left, unfortunately. But keep checking for more.
Speaking of 2010 sets, we posted a reminder about our Leaked Image Policy. To make sure it's clear, this applies to all LEGO 2010 Summer sets. You cannot post pictures, link to pictures, or discuss pictures (o
Hey guys, I may be appearing on LAMLradio again soon to discuss Bionicle stuff, and I want to know what YOU think were the best Bionicle MOCs of 2009. So post your suggestions in the comments - we really want to hear from you!
Thanks all!
Intro
Merry Christmas everybody! Yes, I'm doing an update today, but not too long.
Updates
So we continued our 2010 set reviews last weekend with a Skrall review by Sisen. Hopefully we'll have another this weekend sometime. No promises though.
Speaking of the Stars, a new commercial has been appearing on TV. If you know where to look, you can find it online. But please do not bypass the filter in order to link to it.

Only a week until Christmas! Wait, does that mean I have to do a Weekly Update ON Christmas? Oh bother...
Updates
After the slowness of last week things have picked up on the Bionicle front!
In addition to the awesome poster from last week, some new 2010 content has appeared on Bionicle.com. Soon though, it'll all be gone to make way for the overhauled version of next year's site!
This past week has also seen some 2010 set reviews. Smeagol4 looked at Tahu while Darth Vader share
