  1. An Art of Bionicle book that covers Gen1 would be cool. Include concept art and images that haven't been seen before, maybe even allow fans to submit their interpretations of certain scenes, both key events and more day-to-day happenings. Even something on the scale of the Hyrule Historia, just honoring the line that, along with Star Wars, saved Lego from a very real collapse.
  2. I think that's when I bought my first premier membership. That was so long ago!
  3. Looking with google streetview, the bricks in front of and at the side driveway of the old HQ are gone. The only ones I could find were in front of the Lego Childcare center. Made me kinda sad looking at the old HQ and seeing where they're housed now. What all was handled there?
  4. Mata Nui likely gave the Matoran the language before sealing himself back into the Mask of Life. We know he was capable of feats far beyond that, so the fact that there seems to have been immediate communication between the Matoran Universe inhabitants and the residents of Bara Magna indicates that they had the language as soon as they were evacuating. The other possibility is that the Matoran's programming language wasn't far off from the Glatorian and Agori to begin with. Much like the similarities between English and a vast majority of programming languages.
  5. I've pretty much got a girlfriend (we're unofficially official), I'm in University learning robotics, and I'll hopefully be moving into my own place before the end of the year. Other than all of the insanity that is 2020, my life is going pretty well!
  6. @Xboxtravis, it sounds like you've been planning this for a while! I love all of those ideas. My only change would be to add a role-playing element similar to Evermore Park in Utah. Give the guests quests to fulfil, with rewards for doing more. A smaller resort expansion, ala Disney World, could be for Metru Nui. Have a large scale transport ride using the concept of the Chutes. Ta-Metru could have a stage show like Universal Hollywood's Water World, but focused on the fight against the Morbuzahk. There could also be a foundry/blacksmith shop where guests could purchase Kanohi and Kanoka that are forged in front of them. Ga-Metru would be a waterpark, with all of the waterfalls in the district. An interactive show like the one at Savi's in Galaxy's Edge would be held in the Great Temple with guests acquiring/designing their own Toa Tools. Po-Metru would have a thrill ride, Kikanalo Stampede, a steeplechase style coaster that speeds through sequences from Legends of Metru Nui. There would also be food stands, and this would be the primary food area. Onu-Metru has a perfect dark ride setting with the Archives. I picture two E-ticket attractions, a Pirates of the Caribbean style boat ride staring Mavrah and his Rahi, and a more traditional dark ride that just explores the museum like settings of the upper archives. A walkthrough museum could hold artifacts from the various adventures of the many Toa teams. Ko-Metru would change things up and be set during the Visorak invasion. A large climbing course would weave between the crystalline towers, with different areas to explore and discover. A live music and stunt show could depict the battles between the Hordika and Visorak. Le-Metru would be centered around the Hub and Test track. I see a more comprehensive version of Epcot's Test Track, where guests design their vehicle and ride it through a trackless system of tests. The path would vary depending on the design. A speed test would be included, with the ride vehicles automatically securing to a track as part of the tests, before arriving to one last trackless area where the results are given and back to a station. Lastly the Coliseum would function as the "castle". It would have a sports theme, with humanized games of Kohlii and Akilini are played by teams. Akilini would be a Nerf War type game, where instead of darts, disk guns are used. A laser tag attraction would also fit well here.
  7. I love that Nokama drawing! The style with her legs being slightly more organic versions of the Metru legs, and her mask is beautiful. Hordika Nokama looks menacing, but at the same time has an almost mother bear feel, ready to snap Vakama out of his funk.
  8. Tomorrow will be my account's 17th birthday! So much has changed from when I first joined BZPower. I was only Twelve when I signed up after lurking on the homepage for just a few months during a lull in news on Mask of Destiny. The world had really started to change for me at that time and my interest in Bionicle was the singular constant as my family prepared to move across the country. I didn't know the challenges that I had yet to face, nor the joyous moments to come, all I knew was a sense of fear for my world and great hope in the world of the Matoran. Bionicle will always inspire my creativity, and BZPower will always be how I began writing, and for that I am forever indebted to this community and those who've been a part of it.

  9. Wow! This needs submitted to Brickset and Bricklink's databases. The 2001 completionist in me would love to track down a full set of the boxes at the minimum!
  10. I'm not sure if any of the in-production fan servers will require the use of an install disk. Games like Star Wars Galaxies that have had fan revivals have required access to an official install disk, however games like Toontown or Pirates of the Caribbean Online have fan servers that utilize their own installers.
  11. I remember your burnings! The worst I've ever done is putting together my Lesovikk and attempting to assemble my Elhek. Those two sets should've stayed sealed
  12. Toa: Matt Lanter as Pohatu Dante Bosco as Lewa Mary McGlynn as Gali Phil Lamar as Onua Steven Yeun as Kopaka Jeremy Shada as Tahu Turaga: Dee Bradley Baker as Nuju David Harewood (Martian Manhunter in CW's Supergirl) as Vakama Lynda Carter as Nokama Mark Hamill as Matau Troy Hall as Onewa Kevin Conroy as Whenua Matoran: Anthony Daniels as Matoro Bex Taylor-Klaus as Hahli Laura Bailey as Macku I've got more, but I'm struggling to find several actors names currently. Having played many voice acted games and watched many animated shows has helped flesh my choices out dramatically
  13. I was there in 2001 when these were going, but I didn't get the chance to see them. I'll have to watch these in the morning!
  14. His next post about this is going to be either a Yay to G3 or a Not happening. No more teasers from him after he signs off the stream.
  15. Thanks Daler! I'm really not great at taking notes for posting later.
  16. It's all been a bit confusing while watching, honestly. I'm making some inferences, but one of the things he showed early on was a timeline of storytelling, and the VR, etc. was a heavy focus of current storytelling techniques. One of the things he specifically talked about was that Bionicle parts are going to be incredibly valuable because they're completely a thing of the past.
  17. Possibly not Lego. He seemed to indicate that Lego is trying to avoid those kind of parts because of their environmental costs.
  18. Ball joints are done for, as far as Bionicle and CCBS are concerned. No confirmation yet, coronavirus has delayed several meetings, but doors are open for Bionicle. There was something that has to do with storytelling exclusively. Possibly VR/AR/Mixed Reality based building. Major focus on the storytelling it sounds like. He seems to be under a NDA, but was allowed to say that there is something coming. This is Disney-Level secrecy!
  19. So am I. I'm skeptically hyped.
  20. We're down to just a few minutes until he reveals...Bionicle Gen 3? Hopefully. I'll be very disappointed if this was all an elaborate hoax, especially because of how long its been going. Faber would lose major respect from me.
  21. Are you going to upload the .stl anywhere? This mask is awesome and I'd love to print it with my Green Bronze filament!
  22. The big thing that I can recommend is to make sure that your group is at least moderately familiar with the source material, in this case Bionicle. If they aren't, then reconsider before you get too committed to a Bionicle RPG. I unfortunately don't have anyone I could run a Doronai Nui game with, so I don't have any experience with it.
  23. Computer Gaming or Socially Distanced
  24. When LEGO did the last Space Police line the 5974 Galactic Enforcer in particular seemed very reminiscent of the Explorien's largest set, 6982 Explorien Starship. I've seen other sets where they've referenced older designs, but that one in particular seemed like a modern remake of one of my white whales.
