And Most Importantly...
The MOC card reads: "Because BIONICLE is as LEGO as Lincoln Logs."
Story time!
So, during the evening ceremonies at Brickfair Saturday, they gave away door prizes. One of them was Tuma. When the box image popped up on the screen, we, your lovely and illustrious BZPower staff, cheered, clapped, and generally made sure it was known we love BIONICLE. Todd Webb, the amazing and gracious host of Brickfair, replied quickly with "That's about as LEGO as Lincoln Logs." Because AFOLs hate BIONICLE, you see. We are the red-headed step-child of the AFOL community. Also, Todd Webb is hilarious and a great guy. Well, we laughed, as we are often found to do, because hey, we can take a joke, you know? We're a good-natured lot, us BIONICLE Brickfair folks. From there we devised this scheme, the fruits of which you can see in the photo. We bought Lincoln Logs, Six and Ray made a cabin from them (and check that sexy no-logs-on-top action below the roof!), and we quickly set it up on the BIONICLE table. It was a hit, and everyone who saw it commended us on being able to not only roll with the punches, but hilariously mock both our own theme, and the rabid AFOL fanbase who seriously believes BIONICLE belongs elsewhere.
We were totally the rebellious upstart theme.
We were totally awesome.
