    #3 Mechagodzilla

    By Brappy Hour,

    Mechagodzilla





    Mechagodzilla made his first appearance in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla, duh. He is considered to be one of Godzilla’s greatest enemies, and possibly his arch nemesis. There have been many forms of Mechagodzilla. The original Mechgodzilla, which was introduced in 1974, Mechagodzilla II (1993), and Mechagodzilla III also named Kiryu (2002).

    Mechagodzilla has a HUGE arsenal of weapons, but it depends on which version you’re interested in. Lasers, missiles, freeze rays, eyes beams, shields, the works!

    Why do I like Mechagodzilla? Think about it. What’s better than Godzilla? A Robot Godzilla! Especially when he shoots lasers and missiles!

It it does better then well. I'll see about making more.

    Yeah. What exactly should I do there? I it's going to be about 8 hrs of LEGO fun, but is there that many thing to do?
     
    Could I just stay at the Bionicle table and distribute BZP shirts, or would I overstay my welcome?
     
    I need advice! If you've been to BrickFair before, please help me.

    Salutations. A new year brings a new t-shirt design contest. Since this is the fifth year in a row, let's just get to it.


     
    Info: This years theme is Metru Nui. Just like last year it's the 10th anniversary of the Legends of Metru Nui film! However, you're more than welcome to use anything from the 2004 saga. So this allows you all to have more creative freedom, rather than having just one character.

    Rules: Your design must be a simple design, one color, and must be medium sized. The prime example is last years winner. https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8416/8820021114_4757ed1131_b.jpg
    Your design must also be black on a clear white background. This makes it easier for the screen printing process.
     
    You may post your entries in this thread, and have until the end of May to submit your design.
     
    The Prize:The maker of the winning design will receive a free T-Shirt!
     
    Feel free to ask any questions, and good luck to all.

    Realization

    By Brappy Hour,

    I realized something in the last few days. Something people have been saying for a while, but I was never able to understand until now. So I'm sorry if this is old news and you're not interested in reading.
     
    Alright. When Bionicle was said to be canceled and the new line was to be released. Like a die hard Bionicle fan. I hated all the aspects, ideas and the sets that were replacing my favorite toy line. I was hurt and did not want anything to change. I know now it was wrong to bring hatred in my arguments against Hero Factory, even though it was mostly when it was first introduced.
     
    Lets start with a conversation I had. I talked with the owner of a small toys tore in my home town. they had many non-commercial brands, but they did have LEGO, and they had a lot of Bionicle. Anyway I asked him about Bionicle stuff due to there being no canister sets left. He said that Bionicle had been canceled, but noted that it had been around for ten years and had a great run. That made me realize that yeah. Bionicle did have a great run! Not many series can show that they were great enough to last nine to ten years. Bionicle had a great beginning, and even if we didn't want it and they way it was. It had to end.
     
    My next subject is limitations and story. As we all learned. Bionicle grew from a little island in the middle of nowhere. To a whole universe of creatures and beings inside one giant robot. Even more than that, there was even more "planets" and perhaps a whole universe full of characters. During the story of Bionicle we were introduced to may I say hundreds of characters. Some were only there to take up space, and others we got to see grow and mature over time. The prime example is Tahu. What I'm getting at, is that even though the story was great. It grew to an imense size that many have a hard time understanding and some don't enjoy anymore. Lots of things were explained to deeply and it drove many fans away. Lets call it the "Star Wars Effect".
     
    Anyway. I understand why LEGO decided to part with the Bionicle line. There were storyline limitations that they couldn't stress any longer, and so many ideas and imaginative ways can be done. So Bionicle was ended, but of course not in the way we wanted.
     
    Hero Factory is a clean slate. Right now. Any storyline and plot twist or character introduction is possible. Again like Star Wars. Hero Factory takes place in a whole universe. Which means that many ideas are in the making. Lets hope we have some great minds behind this story, and see if it can develop. It may seem silly now, but perhaps the story may become more than just a fake police service hot line.
     
    The sets are okay. I'm more interested in the villains than the actual heroes. In my earlier arguments I would say that there was no imagination in these sets, and they borrowed too heavily from Bionicle parts. But when Bionicle started they too borrowed parts from older LEGO Technic lines. So perhaps if the first year of Hero Factory goes well. Perhaps they'll come up with even better parts.
     
    I feel really, Really, REALLY dumb for not realizing the ending points some things need, and the potential for new beginnings. I was once a hurt die hard Bionicle fan who wouldn't dream of buying anything or even caring for anything other than it. Now I am an optimistic LEGO fan who will love Bionicle forever, but will also come to love change and new stories to enjoy, and new characters to see grow and develop.
     
    I'll try Hero Factory. See if it's worth the hype and if it has a fun story. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
     
    Thanks for reading, and lets have high hopes for Hero Factory. Bionicle's young brethren.

    Transformers: War For Cybertron, was a really short game. I beat it in just a few hours. It was okay. Not great, just okay.
     
    So now I'm just going to play the multiplayer and try to get some achievements. So if you have the game and want to kill robots with a fellow BZP member, my gamertag is in my signature.
     
    (Soundwave is the best btw, of course)

    A New Xbox 360

    By Brappy Hour,

    Recently, I discovered that I was running out of memory for content on my Xbox 360 hard drive. So I thought I might as well get a slim and upgrade, instead of getting another hard drive. If I was going to get any 360 slim, I wanted the Halo Reach one, but I didn't want to pay $600 on eBay for it. I went to all the big stores today looking for it. All the techies were like, "It's been sold out forever". So that was discouraging. The last store was Best Buy. I looked at the consoles and didn't see it. I was frustrated and wanted to leave, but my dad was with me, and asked an employee if they had any.
     
    It turns out that while sorting out the Kinexts 2 days before. They found a Halo Reach console hidden behind them, and put it on the front desk of the store for product showcase. I was blown away in excitement. I had found what I had been looking for. Thanks Dad.
     
    The bad news is.... I'm just about broke.
     
    Does anyone want to buy a Xbox 360 classic with 2 controllers? Or a copy of Halo Reach?
  20. Brappy Hour
    I had a great time at BrickFair this year. It was a pleasure/honor to meet so many awesome people and see so many awesome LEGO builds. I hope to return next year to have even more fun.
     
    I thank the Staff and other popular members who let me hang out with them. :blush:
     
    Anyway. Here's what I have left of the BZPower shirts from this year, as well as some from last year.
     
    If you wish to purchase one or more of these shirts. Please send me a PM, and we shall discuss payment from there.

    Welcome friends, to the 2016 BZP t-shirt contest! It's been 10 years since these baddies made the scene with their rubber spines, light up eyes, and glow in the dark chompers! They even kidnapped a rock band. (Yeah I remember that)

    Whether it be a serious tone or a comedic/sarcastic take. All ideas and designs are welcome.

    Lego Dino Attack

    By Brappy Hour,

    Does anyone have any of those sets?
     
    The reason I ask is because I bought some of the Dinosaur figures from that line, and was wondering if there was anyone who had the two T-rex's and Pterodactyl.
     

     
    They look really interesting. I may have an idea for a LEGO exhibit for BrickFair next year. That's right. I'm already planning. ;
  24. Brappy Hour
    Alright everyone. Voting for colors will be the same as the shirt designs, posting the number of your fav. I can't stress enough to please only vote if you're going to BrickFair VA and are interested in buying a shirt.
