In the original series, beings with control over the elemental power of earth - like Toa of Earth - could generate seismic shocks or earthquakes. I didn't think much of this until recently, when I stumbled upon a discussion topic on why there is a difference between what Toa of Earth and Stone control. I'm new here, so I'm not too sure on how to quote things, but an excerpt from one of Greg's Q&As was brought up, and it said that Toa of Earth essentially manipulate soil, as opposed to rock, which is what Toa of Stone control. And that's odd. Earthquakes in our world (as far as I recall, and assuming quick googling is accurate) only really form when the Earth's crust moves. And the crust is essentially stone. I know the Mata Nui robot's ecology and geography clearly don't match up to Earth's, but I highly doubt that their version of the crust is made of soil - that would be horrible as a foundation for entire islands. Anyone have input on this?

I've a question for those of you with the drained masks that come with the Skull Skeletons, the gold/transparent colour blended ones. How much of a single mask is gold and how much of that same mask is transparent, for each of them? My drained Mask of Jungle is only really gold on the bottom 'jaw' piece and in between the eye holes , the rest of it is transparent green. The drained Mask of Earth I have, on the other hand, is only transparent purple above the eye holes - below them, it's gold. Same with the drained Mask of Ice - it's only transparent blue above the eye holes, and below them it's gold. The drained Mask of Stone is hard to describe, since right now it seems that the transparent neon green and gold are slightly harder to tell apart when they mix. It's gold around the front but both above and to the side of the eyes it's transparent neon green. Of the lot I have I think the Drained Stone and Jungle masks look the best. The Drained Earth mask is, well, a bit disappointing. I feel ambivalent towards the drained Mask of Ice. I feel nothing towards the Drained Mask of Water since it doesn't exist, and I feel meh towards the Drained Mask of Fire because it's completely transparent orange.

If you could stand up on something in the center of a large crowd and yell out something at them at the top of your lungs, just to see what the crowd would do, what would you scream and how would want the crowd to react to it?

Wow. It's really popular. Three out of six sets are already sold out according to LEGO, and it's only been two weeks. Grievous is one of them, and that's the most expensive set of the wave. That didn't happen to BIONICLE G2. I do have to wonder, though - in the past year we've gained three new shell attachments, which, as far as I am aware, is more than 2013+2014 combined. The piston add-on, the skull add-on, and that 'shoulderpad' add-on the SW sets use. That's three. Let's add the common HF ones, the round one and the square one. That's five attachments. The SW add-on has no detail to it, so it wouldn't work well with BIONICLE - it would work with HF though. But HF isn't around any more, rip. Though it does seem to 'blend' to the shell it's connected to better than any other attachment piece does. Also, a question. Do you prefer printed pieces or stickers?

Hello! I have a question(s) pertaining to the creation of a group profile. Is this allowed? I have a video game project that I and some friends of mine are working on, and while I have to keep on updating the first post with updates (what else), I seem to have hit a limit and lost some stuff while I inserted some new stuff. I should have reserved a couple of posts after the first one, but it's too late to do that (if it is possible to insert some reserved posts after the first post that would be quite awesome. ). My team and I would love to update stuff in the first post but we can't, so I opted to create a new topic and after transferring stuff from one topic to another the old topic could be closed. But then i had an idea: a group profile. I could create a profile where everyone in the team would have access to it and only use it when pertaining to this project. Afterwards a new topic would still be created using this new profile. This brings a couple of questions, however: As mentioned before, is it okay to do this under the prescribed conditions? If so, would I have to make a new email address as well just for this new profile? Is it alright to make a new topic in the Fan Created Media sub-forum that is just about like a previous one just with some edits with the prescribed conditions? Is it possible for a staff member and/or moderator to just insert a couple of posts in the middle of a topic? Thank you for reading this, I appreciate it and hope to have some worthwhile answers.

Why did Throwbots/Roboriders "fail" and Bionicle didn't?
Klack posted a topic in Bionicle Discussion
Was it the wrong time? Did Lego not put enough 'effort' into marketing those lines, compared to Bionicle? Or was it just purely the aesthetics? -
There seems to be a conflict between the animations and the character bios regarding Gali's harpoon. First, let's refresh our memories about Gali's equipment. Gali's full bio can be found here. Elemental Trident (it's really a double-bitted battle axe with a trident-like thing on the bottom): In Gali's "adrenalin mode," the trident disassembles into the Harpoon and the Shark Fins. Harpoon (the one that I have a question about): Shark Fins: ... Does anyone else see the problems? Specifying that the harpoon is a land weapon implies that the Elemental Trident is used underwater. Doesn't that make the Shark Fins useless? The "Elemental Trident" is really a battle axe. Battle axes don't work underwater. Also, it's listed abilities (creating tidal waves and heavy rain) don't make much sense underwater either. If Gali uses the harpoon on land, where does she put the Shark Fins? (This is dealt with in her "Power Up" mode.) Harpoons are designed to strike and capture underwater targets.The animations clearly seen to agree with my analysis. Gali is first shown underwater, using her Harpoon and Shark Fins separately; she is later shown on land, using them as the "Elemental Trident." The only possible explanation for this that I can see (and it's really a stretch), is that the description for the Harpoon is referring to the "Power Up" mode. Here, the Shark Fins are combined with the Protector of Water's "Elemental Torpedo Baster" (I didn't make these names, folks), and the remaining harpoon is stored on her back. One could reasonably assume that the upgraded Elemental Blaster is her underwater weapon, and is switched with the harpoon when she fights on land. One could just as easily assume, however, that the website is wrong (and we certainly have precedent for that). I don't think we will have an answer until we actually see the combinations in story. What do you think?

Should BZPower's contests have age-groups? It seems rather unfair for a 13-year old to go up against a 20-year-old in a building competition. Should there be different age-groups in the competitions so younger builders (like myself) can compete against builders our own age? Looking at the BFTGM (which was an official Lego contest, so there was no changing it), there were lots of great MOCs, but did any of the younger builders ever stand a chance against all the older builders who had had years of building experience? IT seems like every competition that has no age groups results in 18+ year olds winning. Tell me one time when someone under 15 has won a large competition where such a wide range of ages was allowed. Young builders can be very good for their age, but rarely can they compete with experts who are much older than them. So what do you think?

Been trying to change my Twitter avatar into an animated image, but to no success. I've tried many methods, but none seem to work. So I thought to myself: "Why not ask on BZP?" -
The question is pretty much the topic title: Did the Toa have their masks swapped during the design period of 2001? If we look at early artwork of 2001 done by Christian Faber, we can see an awakening Tahu on the golden beach putting on a Miru instead of a Hau, and at the 2001 Toy Fair reveal, the prototype Kopaka was wearing a white Hau instead of an Akaku. Additionally, early artwork of the Doo Heads shows Kick with a head that appears to be very similar to a Kaukau, and Flame with a head similar to the noble Huna. So again, did the Toa have their masks swapped during the design period of 2001?

This isn't exactly a blog entry per-say, but more of a question for any folks that stumble across this: I've noticed some members have just symbols instead of your average letters for their names. For example: "^_^", or "____". Since it doesn't say in the Community Guidelines about not being able to have such things for your username, or 'doesn't give BZP a bad reputation', would it be acceptable to have a BLANK name without running into trouble with the Admins? Yes, you read that right. A blank username. I stumbled across my cousin's account today, in which he had basically no username. Since the method involves a special symbol, I'd figure I'd use my name-change to do just that. Anyways, I'd thought I'd post this here instead of the Help forums. I'll add a correct Blog Entry later on to make up for this one.

If so, which one?

I know most (if not all) of the Avengers: Age of Ultron sets don't come out until March, but seeing as how a lot of the YouTube reviewers (JangBricks comes to mind) already have them, has anyone here manage to obtain them yet? If so, do you think they're worth it in the terms of quality and price? I'd figure I buy all of them, seeing as how Marvel is my favorite fictional franchise and all but I wanted to make sure I wasn't burning my money away before I do.

After Takutanuva was crushed and separated by that giant door, the Kraakan was said to have be smashed slightly (hence the loss of a 'vent' on the 2008 version), and the Avohkii came out unharmed (I assume). What's up with that? Was that just a movie/story plothole?

So, I have something I plan on drawing further down the line, But it's something that raises the following question. If you want to put a crossover with Bionicle and anything non-Lego related, Should it go in the General art section or the Off topic media section?

If you could ask Jørgen Vig Knudstorp, the CEO of The LEGO Group, one question, what would it be? Would you ask about his leadership style? What it takes to run a huge international company? What his thoughts are on the fan community? What his involvement with the community is? Or maybe what his favorite set is? Those are just some ideas, and I'd love to hear your thoughts!
