    How Did You Choose Your Username?

    For as long as I can remember, when I was little I always thought it was cool how my initials spelled a real word even if it's not a super common one (unless you're in the navy I guess) and as for the "eighteen" in my teen years I was one of those dumb kids who thought turning eighteen meant you became the boss of your own life (and that's a good thing) so that's why I became attached to the number eighteen. 

    I can't remember if BZPower was the first time I used "JAG18", but definitely since I've done a good job of making it my internet identity across as many platforms as possible.  I'm a millennial so I grew up thinking having (or being) a "brand" was a good thing and being easy to find online was part of that.  In the last couple of years I've come to realize making my online content so easy to find is probably going to come back and haunt me, but you know the past is dead the future yet to born.  I'm just glad I joined BZP later in high school so my early posts are only moderately cringey.  😝

    Was Bionicle the Last Great Toy Line?

    in Bionicle Discussion

    I haven't played with toys in years nor do I keep up with the industry so I admit what I have to say isn't very informed, but the first thing that came to mind while reading this was an observation the writer of an article I read a few years ago about Barbie's declining sales .  Basically, the reason for the decline is as simple as kids don't play with toys as much these days.  Based on that, I'm willing to believe that yes, BIONICLE was the last great toy line, which I guess is a pretty cool thing to go out as. 

    What were your first bionicle sets?
