    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.

    What?!

    By Brappy Hour,

    Some (or none) may know that the first episode of Jurassic Park the game by Tell Tale games was supposed to be released this month. I had pre ordered the whole game due to the lowered price and the items it came with.
     
    Well that's changed. I received an email today that stated that Jurassic Park the game will be delayed until THIS FALL. That's right. We went from a Spring release to a Fall release!
     
    The reason they are delaying the game is that they will be working toward releasing the game on all gaming platforms. So the silver lining is that I'll be able to buy the game on Xbox Live Arcade. Maybe.
     
    Tell Tale is quite sorry for causing all the hype and not delivering. So they are giving all the people who pre ordered the game a full refund, and a free game. I'm guessing for download.
     
    So yay and awww go hand in hand for this situation.
     
    So that's it for now. Cheerio.

    Members I Met

    By Brappy Hour,

    Some were happy.
     
    Some I were able to catch their attention.
     
    Some were a tad busy.
     
    And someone spotted me!
     
    Those are some cool shirts Nuju and Friar Tuck are wearing. I wonder who made em.
     
    Anyway. Saturday was great. Too many pictures to put on one page, so I'll wait until they'll be public. If anyone has a problem with me posting pics of them. I'll take them down.
     
    Did I mention I suck at takin pics?

    That's right, It's 2012. A brand new year, and that means new BZP BrickFair shirts!
     
    I need to start the process of making the shirts, but before I can do anything I need something awesome to put on it. So I'm hosting the contest this year. Mostly because EW won't answer my PMs, but that's not important.
     
    The theme of BrickFair this year is fire. So there's your starting point. I'd prefer no Tahu Mata this year, since he was the design last year. Designs need to be one color, one simple image. Here's some past designs. -> 2010 2011
     
    So put on your thinking caps and make the best darn designs you can possibly make. The contest ends at the end of May, and voting will begin soon after. Post your designs here, and have fun.
     
     
    Thanks for reading, Raptor.

    Let me give you a little information about myself. I have problems, LOTS of problems. For some reason mostly in my brain. About 2-3 years ago I was diagnosed with epilepsy, a condition where one can have seizures. The ones I get are from exhaustion and from being at a high level of stress. It sucks. I do many things though to keep my condition at bay and live a normal life, and one of them I will share with you today.
     
    Mind Stimulation is one of my treatments, this helps relax my mind and fights anxiety. The way it's done is when you're hooked up to a fancy computer, that means it's just sensors silly puddied to your head. And the way the treatment works is that you play a somewhat type of game where you use concentration that allows the treatment to apply itself to you. The best part is that you use your mind to move objects forward and in other directions! An example is a Spaceship game I usually play, where you concentrate your thoughts and make the ship go through tunnels and reach destinations. Your movements and speed depends on the level of concentration you use.
     
    Well today I played a new game that I thought made the treatment a lot more fun and interesting. It was a racing game where you try to beat the other cars to the finish line. It's very similar to the Spaceship game, your levels of concentration makes the car go slow, fast, or even move at all. The graphics are good too, it's like playing a Playstation 1 game. It's more entertaining now that instead of going down corridors and tunnels constantly, you're battling against A.I. to see who gets to the finish line first. B)
     
    And that's why I wanted to tell everyone that I play Video Games using my mind.

    Sorry Lego

    By Brappy Hour,

    Gonna have to call you out on this one. Pic 1 Pic 2
    That's kinda a FAIL there to me. I mean, you have to use that arm piece on that one end only. Would they?
     
    So nice presentation. Bad carrying it all the way.
     
     
    BTW- Screw it. I'm going to order Bulk & Vapor and bring it to BrickFair to build.

    Greetings

    By Brappy Hour,

    Hi everyone. I want to apologize for my lack of activity here, and the people I feel I've neglected. It's just been a rough time for me lately.
     
    Forum wise My trading topic died, which may be because there aren't as many people who want to buy/sell/trade as there was in the golden years. I'm not sure whether I should open a new trading topic or not. Sometimes it makes me feel like an animal living near a shrinking watering hole in a drought.
     
    I want to apologize for not keeping up with the blogs I follow. Especially Takanuvia's. I'm super sorry.
     
    I myself haven't written an entry on any site in a while is, because well.... I feel as though I don't have anything to say. Once again I feel that nervousness and tension about writing how I am and how I feel. Should I do it for myself, for others, of for both? Will good come from doing so?
     
    One thing that has perked my interest is the continuation of the Bionicle story, and the little bits and pieces members are finding and piecing together. I fear though that the Bionicle story will never be fully complete, and feel some regret in having so many side plots and characters we love and enjoy that may never have a resolution or ending. It's bothered me a lot lately.
     
    Anyway. If you ever want to chat, trade, or play on Xbox Live, just shoot me a PM.
     
    Still have plenty of shirts left from BrickFair 2012. Don't be shy in asking to buy one.
     
    Thanks for reading, Raptor.

    #10 Gorosaurus

    By Brappy Hour,

    Gorosaurus
    Gorosaurus made his first debute in King Kong Escapes, where he fought against Kong. Much like the original King Kong film. He also made an appearance in Destroy All Monsters, and other Godzilla films. He's most know for his gravity defying Kangaroo Kick! Gorosaurus is on the list mainly because because of his blandness. He's a Dinosaur, and that's about it. Actually I like him a lot, but still. He's not all that special. Sorry Gorosaurs.

    Hello everyone, Welcome to one of the main attractions of my blog called Item Obtained. This is when I get a new Bionicle item and I show it to everyone, give my thoughts about it and of course show you some pics. Now lets get started!
     
    Book Cover
     
    Well here's the cover. Looks pretty good, has a hard cover which makes it even more appealing to look at. It's also good that they put Makuta's Kraahkan with the island of Mata Nui. Reminds me of the good ol days.
     
    The main theme for this book is a recap of the Bionicle story from 2001-2008. With bios, pics and all of that other good stuff. There's also little snippets in the book from other previous Bionicle chapter books and even some web serials. On top of that there's the Makuta diaries that Makuta Terridax wrote during events that occurred in the story. Lots of pics from the movies too.
     
    I haven't read through the whole book yet, so I can't really say there's any new info in it. Hopefully there is.
     
    I would highly recommend this book for whoever sets their sights on it.
     
    Here's some pages for your viewing pleasure.

    If the links don't work or collapse, I apologize in advance.

    #1 Giant Bird

    By Brappy Hour,

    Giant Bird



    This random creature flew into the series in Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster. Special powers? You're seriously not going to ask that question are you? It's a bird! It's not Rodan or Varan. It's just a GIANT CONDOR. What did it do? Well it pecked at Godzillas face for about a minute, then proceeded to get roasted by atomic breath. (What did you expect?) Not only is this the worst monster in the series, it's also the worst monster fight in the series. The camera angles were awful, and it ended as fast as it started.

    As James Rolfe put it. "Should have been The Giant Claw." Link

    That's it for this top ten list. I hope you enjoyed it. I apologize if you didn't agree with some of my choices, and have a great Halloween.

    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!

    Well I asked my friend Little Miss Sunshine (Nukaya Cloud Fire) for some advice about blogging, and she suggested a few interesting ideas. One of them being that I should write a few entries about current events happening in my life. So here I am! =D
     
    Today I went to see the movie Michael Jackson: This Is It. This was a film that consisted of footage from the rehearsals of songs that Michael and his team were going to perform before he passed away this year. It was really interesting to see the different types of dances and stages props would be set up for each song. It not only went into the work of Michael, but also the work of the dancers, singers, and band members that he worked with. It's amazing how he came up with so many unique ideas for his songs.
     

     
    No. I'm not a hard core fan, but his music is great, and I was saddened when he passed away.
     
    And that's what I did today!
     
    Please don't leave any hurtful comments or jokes about Michael Jackson. They'll be obliterated and forgotten.

    I am currently in a hotel right now with my father, Because I cannot check in to the hotel next to the convention center until tomorrow.
     
    I look forward to meeting you all at brickfair tomorrow, and having a great LEGO filled weekend!

    Charcoal Topic

    By Brappy Hour,

    So I think this might be the third or forth time my trading topic has been a Hot Topic.
     
    That's pretty awesome, and hopefully that may bring more business.

    I Made A MOC

    WARNING: This review has a good amount of nitpicking. Please don't take my opinion too seriously.
     
    Heroes:
    The Heroes were a mixed bag of hits and misses. How about positives first? I thought that the personal armor decals were a cool idea, and I like the new armor and how they connect to the new joints. I think what everyone is most excited about is the return of the color Purple. Which we haven't seen since 2001. The weapons seemed weird to me. Shields with spikes and tubes? Alright. Breez and Surge are the only two heroes with two hands. Another things that I'm wondering is why the heads and Hero Cores aren't see through anymore. It's kinda saddening to see them go. The headgear doesn't seem necessary, especially when you can't even recognize Breez as a Female anymore. My biggest problem is the random armor placement. This is probably the most random armor placement I've ever seen. My guess is that someone complained so much about how uniform the sets were, and how the Heroes in 2010 looked the same that designers thought. "You want diversity? You got it!", and slapped different armor all over the place. So the only Hero we have that looks close to subtle is Stormer. One more thing is that there's little poseability with the shield weapons. The biggest problem is Furno's right arm. You can't move it up. You have to twist it around to where you can't see the decal anymore. Who thought that was a good idea?
     
    Villains:
    Pretty silly names, but interesting ideas I suppose. They look fun and cool on the box, but sadly there's more to these sets then meets the eye. First of all these Villains aren't even close to being as cool as the 2010 Villains. All of them are a mixture of red, black, silver, and gunmetal gray. Not really any new or interesting weapons. Just claws and flames jutting out of armor. New armor and evil Hero cores I guess, are sprinkled all over. Plus for some reason the Thornax Launcher has been resurrected once again as the Magma Blaster. Nitroblast and Drilldozer have two arms that make just one arm. Not only is this unnecessary, but it limits the one arms movement. The new heads are double sided too, so I guess if you wanted to make different villains in other colors you could. Nitroblast, like Furo has a arm that is unposeable. Armor just covers it in a way that it barley moves.
    So yeah. The villains this winter kinda suck. Jet Bug's alright though.
     
    Fire Lord:
    Why does every head boss of any LEGO action figure series have to be black? Makuta, Lord Valdek, Von Nebula, and now Fire Lord. Just armor on the side of the legs, and big spot left on the front. No new weapons, and badly placed armor. Probably the worst Titan set ever.
     
    These new sets seem almost like a joke. I know LEGO can do better than this. I guess they were just testing out how the new joints and armor would work for kids and builders. I just wish they wouldn't have done it this way. It seems that these sets were made for MOCers more than kids or collectors. What with all the new parts and colors.
     
    I don't hate the new sets, I had fun building them like I always have building LEGO and are posing them as I'm writing this review. I'm just disappointed. They look good (most of them), but that doesn't mean they play or pose good. I hope that the summer sets will be a step up from this.
     
    Thanks for reading.

    #9 Hedorah

    By Brappy Hour,

    Hedorah
    Hedorah appeared in Godzilla vs. Hedorah (Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster for older fans). He also got his butt kicked in Godzilla Final Wars. Anyway Hedorah is literally made of pollution. Slimey gunky nasty filthy disgusting pollution. He can transform into a flight mode and back to a pile of filth. He blinded Godzilla with nasty goo and turned people into skeletons by dispersing toxic gas into the air. Obviously Hedorah isn't a very likable or a cool monster. He's too disgusting to be enjoyed. Just like the horrible movie he was featured in.
