    Hello everyone. It seems my little shirt operation hit a snag today. I finished printing all of the shirts, but later when I washed them in the school washer, a lot of shirts lost paint and became faded. Thankfully I kept another load of them. So not all of them are ruined. Apparently some of the shirts had not been heated all the way, so the paint did not stick and came off in the washer. I was so mad and disappointed. But I made sure to re-heat the ones that weren't ruined, so that they wouldn't fall to the same fate. I feel the most awful that I won't be able to get as many shirts out to those who want them as I wanted, and the whole size of XL was lost. But I have a plan, and a surprise.
     
    Shirts for sale are now categorized in this manner:
     
    Normal BZP shirt: Picture
    9 Small
    9 Medium
    9 Large
     
    BZP Faded Edition:
    These shirts will be heated again and sold to those who like it's design, but no two faded shirts are the same. Picture
    The inventory of these shirts will be posted when available.
     
    And Introducing.......
     
    The BZP Staff Edition!: Picture
    Only four shirts were made today, and I'm not too sure if I can make more.
    1 Small
    3 Medium
     
    That's all for now. Let me know what you think.

    Game Over

    By Brappy Hour,

    Yes. Last night I finally finished Endure. The last Vidmaster Achievement I needed. Now I'm sporting some Recon shoulders and have one hundred percent completion on Halo 3 and Halo 3 ODST.
     
    I'd like to thank Potu, Jack of Blades, and of course Kiba. Who stayed up till twelve o'clock to help me get this headache of an achievement. I can't thank them enough.
     
    Best of all. I finished before the Halo Reach Beta starting Monday. It's going to be a blast.
     
    Who else is looking forward to Reach?

    A while ago I met a nice young woman here on BZP. We chatted once in a while and became friends. About over 6 months ago we started running into each other more often than usual. We found that we shared a lot in common and that we enjoyed each others company..... a lot. So I asked her if she would be my girlfriend. Suprisinly she agreed. So we became a BZP couple.
     
    After a while of PMing each other through BZP and other sites, We exchanged phone numbers and pictures to strengthen our relationship. We have exchanged secrets and made promises to each other that hopefully will stay strong. We both have our faults, but in we help each other with our troubles. As well as encourage each other to do their best at what they do. I hope to do my best as a boyfriend and make her happy as much as possible.
     
    The point? I love my girlfriend. toa of life. And I couldn't ask for anyone better.

    Brickfair Day 1

    By Brappy Hour,

    My first day at BrickFair was awesome. I haven't had so much fun in such a long time.
     
    Highlights:
     
    I had a blast meeting all the staff members and friends I knew from BZP before hand.
     
    Bringing the shirts to the BZP spot. Moments later I was swamped with customers for them, (how exciting).
     
    Speed building a Krika set with Janus.
     
    Order a LEGO brick name tag. (Need to get it tomorrow)
     
    Meeting more great friends, like Senjo and Nukaya.
     
    Trading Pokemon with Nikira.
     
    Selling masks to some fellow members.
     
    Buying a custom Spartan.
     
    Taking some pics of the MOCs and the great Bionicle Mosaic Projects.
     
    Talked to ChocolateFrogs about the Jamboree.
     
    Bought some Dino Attack figures.
     
    Chilled out a little more.
     
    Said goodbye and left.
     
    Post BrickFair:
     
    Went to hotel and got directions for LEGO store.
     
    Went to LEGO store.
     
    Found the Dropship set. Plus got a 10% discount because the box was damaged.
     
    Back at hotel.
     
    END
     
    Anyway. I'm leaving at 2 tomorrow. So I'm gonna try to look at the rest of the convention center. Also kinda bummed because they won't sell me a BrickFair 2010 brick. All because I didn't register... I'm here aren't I?!

    Rahi Nui Project

    By Brappy Hour,

    Hey everyone. I've been thinking about this for a while so here goes.
    For BrickFair I was thinking of making a Rahi Nui MOC. Since it's Bionicle's last year and I think it would be a sight to see. I have just about all the different Rahi parts to add to it, and I'm always thinking of ways to make it look even better. Though I wanted to ask the Bionicle fans a question.
     
    Should the Rahi Nui be different colors from the representing Rahi, like a purple Nui Jaga tail and yellow Muaka claws etc. Or be in silver, gunmetal gray, and black.
     
    Your opinion and comments would be greatly appreciated.
     
    Should I make a poll in the forum about this? If it's allowed of course.

    I just thought of this just now, and wanted to say something before I forgot.
     
    It seems quite apparent that in this realm of blogging that there are different types of blogs in general. Blogs that give snippets of information, entertainment, complete nonsense, and blogs that actually tell about peoples lives.
     
    Some seem so.... well..... weird or indescribable that you don't want to read them, but for some reason you can't stop checking back once in a while to see the next concoction of insanity they have created.
     
    Then there are the more well known member blogs. Whether they have a position here at BZP, or they appear a bit too much in forum topics. In this situation a member could post a blank entry and it would get ten replies. Why? I'm still figuring that out.
     
    I'm not saying I don't do any of things, and I certainly don't think I'm popular. It's just I feel that to get your opinion known or to even be noticed. You must be popular, have a high role, or just do things out of the ordinary.
     
    You can't be a Average Joe because even though you might have something really interesting to say. No one cares, because you're not important to them.

    More Bzp T-shirts?

    By Brappy Hour,

    Hello fellow BZP members. You may remember from a few months ago I made BZP T-shirts for BrickFair for members to wear and enjoy. (still have some left btw).
     
    However. Did you ever wonder, could there be more BZP T-shirts? With new designs, and in various sizes and in abundant supply? Wells here's where you can voice you opinion. I have been presented an opportunity to make shirts with my own equipment that I can acquire. But I won't agree to the offer unless I can have a mass market. Would anyone be interested in buying BZP T-shirts with new designs and in different colors?
     
    Hopefully I'll be able to make shirts for BrickFair next year as well, but wouldn't it be fun to wear a different BZP shirt everyday?!
     
    Please leave a comment with your thoughts, and let others know! BZP shirts need your help to return!

    #1 Gigan

    By Brappy Hour,

    Gigan



    Yup. My favorite Godzilla enemy is Gigan! Gigan made his first appearance in Godzilla vs. Gigan. (Don‘t complain, most of them are named that way). Gigan is a space monster ,which means he came from another planet. He also teamed up with Megalon in Godzilla vs. Megalon, and was revamped for Godzilla Final Wars. In Godzilla Final Wars there were two types of Gigan, one with hooks for hands, and one with chain saws for hands!

    Gigan’s weaponry consists of his hook hands (of course), a saw blade on his stomach, and lasers he can shoot out of his eyes.

    Trying to explain why I like Gigan is easy. Because he’s awesome! Trying to explain what Gigan looks like though is quite hard, but also fun. He has sails on his back like a Spinosaurus, spikes on his head and tail, has a beak, has one eye, has hooks for hands, and saw blades on his stomach! That’s awesome! I can’t imagine how they could make this up! Gigan also has one of the coolest roars ever. If I could make any sound, I would sound like Gigan. If you haven’t heard it before, go to a video viewing site and watch a video of Gigan real quick! That’s all I can think of to say about that. :blush:

    That’s about wraps up Bionicle Raptor’s Top 5 Godzilla Enemies. Maybe next year I’ll do something similar, I might even blog more often. Thanks for reading, and Happy Halloween!

    Voting time is over, and once again the winner is Kevinhink! LINK
     
    Now that we know what design we're using, color suggestions are open for the next week. When suggesting colors, please specify the shirts color, as well as the color of the design itself. You can only have 1 color for the design, so choose your color variants wisely.
    Pictures of your choice are appreciated.
     
    After the week of entries, we'll have a week of voting for the colors the forum members like the most.
     
    Thanks for reading, and have fun designing!

    When these ridiculous signature fads end. So I can turn my display options back on.
     
    I don't have a problem with the subject of the matter, but the way people are forcing it onto others is unnecessary and immature. I'm more than certain that most who are a part of this fad are just preying on peoples insecurities. I had thought better of this community.

    Take A Dive!


     




     
    8th verse, same as the first. Welcome once more, friends. It's 2017, and that means it's the 10th anniversary of the Mahri Nui saga. So rather then limiting the contest to a set or group of characters. You all have artistic freedom with this project! The only requirement is that the design must be underwater themed. Something serious, or something comical? The choice is yours!
     
    Rules: Your design must be a simple design, one color, and must be medium sized. A previous winner and decent example is linked here. https://farm9.static...757ed1131_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!
     
    ADDITIONAL INFO:
    The winning design will be chosen through a voting process of the members of BZP.
    Colors will be suggested and chosen by the members as well.
     
     
    Feel free to ask any questions if needed.
    That's all for now. Have fun, and good luck!

    The Winner Is

    By Brappy Hour,

    After a while of contemplating. I have decided the winner!
     
    The first place winner of the 2014 BZPower T-shirt contest is Silverglass. Link
     
    Second place goes to Nukaya. Link
     
    Third Place goes to Swert. Link
     
    Second and third place will be getting a free Kanohi mask for their efforts, and of course thanks to everyone who participated!
     
    Now all I have to do is decide the colors. If you have any suggestions, please post your ideas in this topic.
     
    Thanks again.
  18. Brappy Hour
    Yes! The shirts finally came, and I worked on screen printing all day. I got paint all over my hands and arms. (I feel like Nukaya. )
     
    There's a problem though. Since these shirts are hand made, there are a few mistakes on a lot of the shirts, mostly the mediums. Some are minor and some I fear are bad. I feel a bit embarrassed actually. Seeing how all the shirts are all different, and none the same. I fear that no one will enjoy or purchase them.
     
    Speaking of money. I got the bill today too. Holy Moly!
