Speaking of Utah... one of the prototype Sand Tarakava's was sent to Saffire Studios in Utah as a reference model for the Legend of Mata Nui and Tales of the Tohunga games. It was allegedly handed as the trophy for a company bowling party in 2001... so yeah... somebody won a rare prototype Lego set in a bowling tournament. I wonder if they still have it 19 years later?

 

 

I am currently cringing at the thought of whoever won that Sand Tarakava set not knowing the value of what they have, and dismantling it for parts.

 

Also, not a prize par say, but I remember back in the way old days of BZP, one of the first threads I ever posted on was someone who received the last orange Vahi through Lego Support when (I think) theirs became damaged or something. That mask was made from a different mold when they made the gold plastic version a few years later (Still have mine somewhere.)

Ten year old me would have killed for those throwbot sets. Those were some of the last sets in the line before they switched to Roboriders. If I remember right. The throwbots used the same kind of throwing disks that the early Matoran bionicle sets used. Like bionicle, they had waves of six sets in a plastic container that kinda resembled a shuttle. The smaller throwbots could fit inside, and the container had slots to stick it on your belt to carry it around. Thanks for the nostalgia trip!

Some sort of royal dude who doesn't look very happy.

Didn't think this would happen so soon after Bionicle ended. Looking forward to seeing the new sets and whether or not the story is a continuation or a full fledged reboot.

Bionicle.com used to have a section called "The Buzz" which had a Ling to BzP and another fan site. I first found BZP through that page.

....Aaaaaaaaand thats why I don't buy used bricks. Ew.But seriously, that is some clever use of Lego.

The Geckonator turns 18 today. In the tradition of us posting each others birthday topics, lets all wish him a happy birthday!

Happy Birthday Bzp.Wow, 11 years, and I've been here for 9 of them. Now I'm feeling old.Can't wait to see what this years spinny is.EDIT: Didn't realize Tohu had it... *facepalm*

In the words of the great Phillip J Fry, Shut up and take my money!Gong to have to start saving up. The B-wing is my favorite fighter from Star Wars.

Granted, but people begin to hear that you have infinite wishes and an angry mob throws you off a cliff.I wish it was Friday.

Can't tell you how glad i am to have a Lego store that much closer. the Belleview store is nice, but the traffic there can get pretty crazy. Going to have to make a trip down there next time i have a chance to check it out.

Even though they're listed, I don't think they'll be shipping out any sooner than the ones through Jinx (Mojang).If I'm wrong... Well then darn. Because I already have it preordered. ~|ET|~

I ordered it the day the news was posted, and tracking says it just left Massachusetts. So it is shipping now.

My condolences go out to her family. May she rest in peace.

I really want this set, but I'm torn. On one hand it would look awesome next to my desk, but on the other hand I just moved into my own place and moneys kinda tight right now.

Granted, but you end up walking into a tree anyway.I wish someone would punch me in the face.

Can't wait to see what they come up with. Even if its just a bucket of square bricks, it will still be awesome.

It was not until the beginning of the sixteenth century that the term was used specifically to describe a female child.-Every member of President Teddy Roosevelt’s family owned a pair of stilts, including the first lady.

I totally want Han Solo in carbonite there if I ever get married...

Can anyone recommend any good games for the 3DS? So far I just have Mario Kart and a few 3D NES ans GB games. Not really interested in Pokemon games, since I stopped playing Pokemon at Gold/Silver and already have the remake.

The first Lego set I remember getting was basically a brick bucket, but instead of being a bucket, the front was rounded off with a big plus shaped rubber thing that when you slid it across the floor, would pick up any Lego bricks off the floor. That thing was awesome.

I consider it to be an abuse of the Cuusoo system. For one thing, Cuusoo is for original ideas, not canceled lines. Two, Cuusoo is for individual ideas, or at least was intended for that purpose. Again, not for canceled set lines. Even if this magically makes it to LEGO's review table, I don't see it passing on from there. It's too early on. BIONICLE could only possibly return years after Hero Factory has run its course, and not before.

Agreed. There are already multiple Bionicle related submissions, and if too many are posted to the site, it could potentially keep some of the original ideas from being seen. Not to mention that Hero Factory still seems to be going strong and could be sticking around for a while. Best way to help bring back Bionicle at this point is to keep buying Hero Factory sets so that Lego knows there is still a market for that type of set. That way when it comes time for Hero Factory to take a vacation, that style of building doesn't go with it.

That cannon arm looks like a bigger, beefier version of the 1.0 hero arm cannons. Hope they make it into the Recon builder.
