Weekly Update - 11/27

Intro

Another week, another update. Nothing much has changed. Well, maybe that's a bit of and understatement...

 

Updates

So the biggest news of the week is that we finally got our review of The Legend Reborn posted. Go check it out.

 

Ok, so maybe that wasn't quite true.

 

The Bionicle line of sets has been canceled. I actually have a lot to say on the subject, and when I have time you'll all get to see it on the front page. Being an Admin has its perks like that. I will say this: some people have been overreacting to this whole deal. There will still be a Bionicle story for a while yet. There will still be sets that are similar to Bionicle sets. BZPower will still be here for you to talk about the story, post creations, art, and stories.

 

The most important thing is this: LEGO has made the decision to stop making the sets, and no small group such as BZPower is going to be enough to change that decision through means such as a petition. As such, we are not allowing the posting or creation of petitions to bring back Bionicle on BZPower.

 

There's also no need to boycott anything such as Ben 10 or whatever the unannounced line may be. Not buying LEGO sets is going to hurt LEGO and that's going to cause us to get less cool products. So buy things you like - the best way for consumers to get their voices heard is through their wallets.

 

So that's the beginning of my rant, you'll get to see more soon.

 

In other news, we've recorded some stuff for the next Powercast - look for it soonish.

 

Mailbag

1) What's the most fun you've ever had on BZPower?

 

2) How long have you been a fan of BIONICLE

 

3) LEGO makes Zelda themed sets: what is your reaction???

 

4) (hypothetically) BIONICLE ends: what happens to BZPower???

 

5) Your trapped in a hole with only your clothes and a can of macadamia nuts, what do you do?

1) Hard question. Probably one of the fun pranks that's happened over the years.

2) Since 2001 when it started.

3) An interesting new direction.

4) Hypothetically? :P We're not going anywhere.

5) Use the can as a tool to escape - MacGyver style.

 

What do you think about the cancellation of the BIONICLE set line?

It's going to be a bit of a change, but there's still going to be a story and there's still going to be action-figure-type sets. BZPower will probably change a bit, but we'll still be here.

 

Want to see your questions answered? PM them to me and put 'Mailbag' in the subject line. I'll pick the few I like the best and answer them in the next update.

 

Conclusion

That's all I have for this week. Feedback is always welcome, as are questions and comments. Enjoy your Thanksgiving weekend!

That is probably the best thing that has been said so far.

 

That being said, I still won't be buying Ben 10, just like I won't be buying Sponge Bob and all the other themes that don't interest me.

Amen to that. It's about time something like this gets said in a place where people will definitely take notice of it. 'Sides, I think it's been years since BZP has seen a full-blown Opinion piece on the front page.

Although I agree with this, I don't think BZPower is big enough for a boycott of BZPers to affect LEGO sales like that, and definitely not Ben 10, because we won't be the main target audience anyway.

 

I'll still be buying LEGO, the lack of Bionicle just gives me more to spend on other sets (and Bionicle's replacement).
