    With my what you may say BZP return. I'm going to reinstate the fact that I still have a lot of shirts left over from BrickFair 2012; mostly smalls. I'm hoping that I can sell them to make money to make new shirts for this year..... or maybe not. It seems everyone is making shirts now....
     
    Anyway. Here are the remaining BZP t shirts. http://www.bzpower.com/board/uploads/blog-0069574001345248565.jpg
     
    Small - 8
    Medium - 1
    XL - 1
    2XL - 2
     
    The price is $15 + $4 shipping each.

    Please PM me if you're interested.
     
    As always. Thanks for reading, Raptor

    Picfair

    By Brappy Hour,

    I was thinking of what to write to Nukaya while she was at camp. I thought taking pictures around my room would help me think of nice and non-boring things to say to her.
     
    Here's all the stuff I have on my shelves as of now.
     
    Halo:
    Covenant
    Arbiter and Others
    Master Chief's
    ODST's and Flood
    Matchmaking Spartans
    Matchmaking Elites
    Halo Wars
     
    Bionicle:
    Stars
    Who Am I?
    Skrall Army
    Bone Hunters and Sand Stalker
     
    Other:
    Magazord
     
    I have the Hero Factory Villains too, but you already saw them. So that's it for now!
     
     
    Don't worry Maddison. I'll write you soon!

    Hello to all. To the few people who read these journals, I apologize for the lack of writing. It's a mix between the business in life, and the fear that nobody cares.
     
    Anyway. After all this time and weeks before BrickFair. The T-shirts for BrickFair 2012 are finished. The shirts this year will be $15. The reason being a lot more effort was put into these shirts. A lot of travel to the store, and most of all commissioning fellow member Vezok's Friend to create a design for this year. However this may be the best BZP shirt yet. I'm not sure if I'll post a picture though. I might save it as a surprise for those who go to the convention.
     
    The amount of shirts are:
     
    10 small
    10 Medium
    10 Large
    5 XL
    4 2XL
     
    I look forward to seeing you all there, and I hope you all enjoy the convention, as well as a BZP shirt.
     
    Thanks for reading, Raptor.

    Brickfair 2012

    By Brappy Hour,

    Is it too early to plan for BrickFair this year? It's just lately I can't stop thinking about it.
     
    Mostly because I'm having dreams about it........Mostly nightmares though........ I get wweird dreams when I'm in college.
     
    So anyway. I'd better save money for the summer. I guess I'll be making shirts once again, and that alone will cost a lot. Plus I want to be able to help out the BZP staff pay for stuff like the hotel (Maybe I'll get to sleep in a bed!)
     
    Oh yeah. Sisen and and some other BZP staff asked me to make special Lazer tag shirts for them. See! I didn't forget!
     
    I just hope I get to meet the people I met last year and have even more fun. It seems my experiences are better each time I go.
     
    Maybe I'll build something this year too. I've got a few ideas.
     
    Thanks for reading, Raptor.

    BrickFair 2013

    By Brappy Hour,

    Yes. I'm already planning for it. I even have a design in mind for this years T-shirt.
     
    Actually I've been wanting to ask how people feel about how LEGO discontinued the discounts for BrickFair attendees. I know that they announced it in their email newsletter, but I wanted to see if people would still go to the LEGO store during BrickFair without the discount. Personally I probably would. I can't help being a Hero Factory fan. So I would do what I did last year, and build all the summer sets for everyone to see.
     
    And seeing the new trailer for Brain Attack, it looks like there might be some larger sets this year. Boy do I miss building huge those Bionicle models. Why are Hero Factory sets so tiny?
     
    Anyway let me know what you think.
     
    Thanks for reading, Raptor.

    #4 Biollante

    By Brappy Hour,

    Biollante 

     
    Biollante made her first appearance in Godzilla vs. Billante. She is the product of a combination of plant matter and the cells of Godzilla. At a first glance, Biollante to some may look like a cross between a Venus Fly Trap with a Crocodile head.
     
    Yes, Biollante is a female. Her abilities are to use her many arms for combat and can spray a sort of acid from her mouth.
     
    Biollante is favorable because she is an over looked enemy, and her look stands out amongst the other enemies Godzilla has fought. Not to mention she looks really scary for a female monster. Not as cuddly as Mothra is she?

    #2 Minilla

    By Brappy Hour,

    Minilla


    Minilla was hatched in Son of Godzilla, and appeared in others Godzilla movies. Including a re-vamp in Final Wars. His abilities are blowing smoke rings and whining like a donkey. Sooooo. Why do I dislike Minilla? Well, not only do I think Godzilla didn't need a son, but not a deformed Barnie The Dinosaur looking one. He didn't even fight very well most of the time. Plus. How do they even know if it's Godzillas actual son? He's a male. He couldn't have laid eggs, and there isn't really any other Godzillas to... um.. you know. :blush:

    If you want to see a good example of Godzilla offspring, watch the 90's series and enjoy Godzilla Jr.

    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?

    #5 Titanosaurus

    By Brappy Hour,

    Titanosaurus

     
    Titanosaurus made his first appearance in Terror of MechaGodzilla, the sequal to Godzilla vs. Mecha Godzilla. As some have said, Titanosaurus was a more aquatic version of Godzilla, and the look was pretty interesting.
     
    Titanosaurus didn’t really have any special powers, but he did use his webbed tail to create cyclones, so I guess that counts.
     
    I just like Titanosaurus for some reason, and not just because he’s a dinosaur. To me he had unique design, even though some might argue that he looks generic. His roar was neat to hear and of a different variety, but with other viewers they say it’s annoying and more so of a bad cackle.
     
    The only other movie Titanosaurus made an appearance in was when a clip of him was shown in Godzilla Final Wars, as an example of monsters that were a menace to humanity. A somewhat cameo if you will.

    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.

    Yes you read me right. I'm currently conducting a trade with a BZP member from across the ocean, and what did I get you might ask. Breez 4.0 and Thornraxx. The two Hero Factory sets that have yet to be released tin the U.S. This is probrably the first time I've done this, and to make it even better Breez and Thornraxx are pretty awesome sets. Perhaps some the best of the year so far.
     
    I'd like to thank Toatapio Nuva for sending me these awesome sets, and I'll be sending you your half of the trade a.s.a.p.
     
     
    Thanks for reading, Raptor.

    Guess who inspired these guys?


    » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
    Baragon!


    Who the heck is Baragon you may ask? Well he's a somewhat popular monster made by Toho, the same people who made Godzilla. Baragon is quite a popular monster among the Japanese audience, so why not base a Pokemon after him? =P

    I wanted to let you guys know that the toy store in my town labels the LEGO minifigure packs of what character is in it. So if you wanted just one specific figure and didn't want to buy a ton of packs, this would save you a ton of money. It worked for me. Guess what minifig I got. Come on. Guess.
     
    If anyone wants a specific minifigure. I'd be happy to pick it up for you.
     
    Actually. People may know what's in the pack already because of the codes or serial numbers on the back or the sides. If this is the case. I apologize for wasting your time.

    Life Update

    By Brappy Hour,

    Hello everyone. If you find my blog entertaining and enjoyable, then I apologize for the lack of updates.
     
    Lots of stuff has been happening in my life that I had kept to myself and only a select few friends. The fact is I have a rough life that I have thankfully left behind in the year 2011. I've been in a lot of mental pain for a long time. First off as silly as it may seem, I was really hurt when toaoflife left me for another boy/man. I felt betrayed, and I still feel as though I may never find another potential soul mate. So the depression ate at me like a fire devouring a forest. It still hurts to this day.
     
    Next. This was probably the worst college semester of my life. I had four extremely nerve wracking classes. Sociology, World History, English 113, and World Religion. I actually enjoyed World Religion though. However these classes required tons of papers and projects. Which was tiring and stressful and felt like there was no end in site.
     
    At the risk of getting in trouble. I don't like the new BZP at all. It's hard to keep up with people, and I feel as though many of my past friends are trying to avoid me or don't wish to be friends anymore. I feel alone a lot. This has caused a decline in my activity on the site, and I've always felt great sorrow when people have a lack of interest in my blogs, or what I have to say. There isn't even much to do in the trading forum. However I've been asked to help in some BZP projects, which warms my heart up a bit.
     
    Finally. The straw that broke the Camels back, was that after caring for him for several months. My 14yr old dog Rocky passed away from illness. Rocky was more that half my age. It felt like loosing a brother, and I felt like all the love and care I gave him for the past year had been all for nothing. I was there the whole way. Seeing his health and life deteriorate, having to carry him around when he lost the energy to stand, feeding him when he couldn't get up. But I'd do it forever if that meant keeping him comfortable and healthy. I had to bury him with the help of my father the day he died. I hope to never feel this pain for a good long while. Even though I know this will happen again in the future. This pain is as certain and inevitable as the event that has caused it. Death.
     
    After all this pain and mental stress. My family saw that my health was at risk, and took me to a doctor. It was here that I was prescribed anti depressants. I felt so helpless and embarrassed that I had to resort to medication for all this pain. I felt like I had failed myself. To keep a strong will against all these horrid events.
     
    After a few weeks I felt better, and eventually all the things causing the pain either subsided or I've comes to terms with. Sara is gone. This ###### on Earth semester is over. I still have a few friends on BZP, and Rocky is no longer suffering. We'll meet again one day.
     
    With this new year comes new hopes and new beginnings. I'm starting a new semester with less stressful classes. I'm looking at the better things in life than the bad. My personal Faith feels rejuvenated, and I've reignited a long lost friendship with an old friend. Things are looking up for now.
     
    There are other things I'd like to discuss, but this is enough to read for now.
     
    Thanks for reading, Raptor.

    I always had the thought of making BZP shirts just to sell on the site. Let other people have a chance to represent their favorite site for everything Bionicle. However, what's held me back is the fear of low sales. Selling at BrickFair was super easy. Just a normal person to person sale, and I believe most people are more comfortable that way.
     
    One of the biggest problems I have is that I still have shirts from last year. Maybe people didn't like the design as much as they did this year, but it sucks that the ones I made by hand are still lying in my room, wishing to be worn by a true BZP member.
     
    I don't know how to really ask the question, but I'll put it this way. If I make BZP shirts to be sold online, would there be a reasonable market for them?
     
     
    As always, Thanks for reading.

    Back From Dixie

    By Brappy Hour,

    I had a great time at my Order Of the Arrow Dixie Fellowship this weekend. Lots of stuff happened that is hard to recollect, because I'm not too great at describing things in text.
    First off my Lodge; Tsali, held the fellowship at our camp. So it was real fun to know where to go for stuff. I also got to stay in a cabin my troop had been working on for a few months. I actually got a decent night sleep!
    Anyway, my lodge won lodge of the year again, plus placed first in Indian Drumming and Indian Dance Group. I recorded all the competition stuff on my video camera.
    Did some patch trading too, got a few good ones, but the most important is when I let my brother borrow a patch I had to trade for a rare one he was looking for. In return he owes me a lot. So far I now have some more 2005 National Jamboree Halo patches. The best one has Master Chief with a Pelican ship in the background.
    We also had some V.I.P.s like the National Lodge Chief, and were told that our Fellowship is the best in the country!
    So that's about it. If you would like to see any pics of patches, or have any questions. Feel free to ask.
  24. Brappy Hour
