    Megaman?

    By Brappy Hour,

    I finished playing Megaman Zero 4 last weekend, and after seeing the new Hero Factory enemies I realized something. They remind me strongly of Megaman enemies. The reason is the different bosses from different areas of random elements that cause trouble so that Megaman/The Hero's have to go to to stop them. Here's how I see it.
     
    Xplode = Bomb Man
    Meltdown = Radioactive Man
    Corroder = Rust Man
    Thunder = Metal Man
    Rotor = Copter Man
    Von Nebula = Dr. Wily

    Oh yeah. Great names by the way. I guess it saved Lego a few brain cells this year.

    It seems there won't be a Dragonzord re-release. At least this year. Next year hopefully.

    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?

    Minifig Me

    By Brappy Hour,

    Went through my OLD LEGO minifig collection today. I found some OLD Star Wars stuff, and even OLDER Lego themes that I can't even name. So I took some parts and made some fun minifig representations of myself.
     
    Version Uno
    Verison Uno (Raised Visor)
     
    Fun Version
    I've had this custom since I was a kid. I changed the body though for the cool mechanical look.
     
     
    What do you think? Should I add or change anything?

    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!

    Name Change

    By Brappy Hour,

    Hello everyone. I decided to try out a new screen name. I've been wanting to change my name for a while, but I was always reluctant to. Now I feel more comfortable with the name that I had earned, and has a lot of meaning to me as well. If it doesn't work out, I can change it back later
     
    You can always call me Raptor, but I just felt like trying something new. I hope you like it.
     
    Thanks for reading, Silent Helper

    New Look

    By Brappy Hour,

    Yeah, just trying a new look for my blog, instead of just having random items everywhere. So it's all organized and whatnot. I'll add more stuff later of course.
     
    If there's any USEFUL advice you'd like to give, please feel free to comment.
     
    Thanks again Nukaya Cloud Fire.

    New Look, Again

    By Brappy Hour,

    Haven't written a new entry in a while. So I decided to change the layout again.
     
    I shall add more as time passes, and as I think of them. Also thinking of writing more if I have the attention span.
     
    How is everyone btw?

    No More Friendlies?

    By Brappy Hour,

    After all this downtime, it's hard to tell who's still wiling to be your friend, or at least communicate with you. This change seems to be driving some people away, or they see this as a new beginning and don't want you a part of it.....
     
    ...."I'm fairly alarmed here."

    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.

    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.

    Odd Man Out

    By Brappy Hour,

    I feel right writing for some reason lately. So why not express my opinion tonight?
     
    Now that Bionicle has ended. Many fans or collectors are directing their attention to other LEGO products, mostly Bionicle's replacement Hero Factory. Some others (like me), are even buying items that aren't even LEGO products at all.
    A lot of times I'm asked if I'll buy the Hero Factory sets. My reply is no, on the basis that it isn't Bionicle and that there isn't a point in buying them if they have nothing to do with Bionicle. The response from others is "You're stubborn and have no taste. They're made just like Bionicle sets so you should give them a chance". So that's the reason? Because they look like Bionicle sets and even are made of the same parts I should instantly take interest? I don't really see the point in that. It seems even weirder that people are jumping on the HF bandwagon just for this reason alone without even a thought. I guess you could lie to yourself and think it's Bionicle In the Future if you're that much in denial.
     
    Anyway, I don't hate Hero Factory. I just don't see why I should like it. By all means if you enjoy it please love it until your hearts content, but I'll pass.

    Off To Florida

    By Brappy Hour,

    I'll be leaving today for a long needed vacation. I'm going to take a brake from my computer as well. I'll be back on Tuesday or Wednesday
     
    In the meantime. Please start thinking of new designs for the BrickFair 2012 shirts. The theme for BrickFair this year is fire, so try coming up with HOT ideas for that. No Tahu though, since we used him last year.
     
    Last, but certainly not least. Happy Easter everyone.
     
    Thanks for reading, Raptor.
  19. Brappy Hour
    So as the title implies. I'll be leaving soon for BrickFair, and hopefully I'll be there right on time to get the room when it opens.
     
    See you on Thursday.
     
     
    Can't wait? Well how about a random video to pass the time!

    One Year Old!

    By Brappy Hour,

    Today marks the day I made my seconed trading topic last August. Which means Bionicle Raptor's Trading Post 2 has been around for a whole year!
     
    34 pages, 1324 posts, and 25762 views. This topic has helped me so greatly. I've made so many trades and gotten so many items, it's unbelievable!
     
    Thank you so much to all the people who have traded with me and have kept my trading topic alive for this long, and hopefully for a good while longer!

    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.

    Since I'm a senior at my high school. I was able to paint on a spot on the wall in my graphics class. Guess what I painted? Picture B)
    I painted it using a stencil I printed and cut with an exacto-knife. That means it took a long time.
     
     
    (Oh Noes! My identity has been revealed even further!)

    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!

    Please Help

    By Brappy Hour,

    I went to my ToyRus today, and I saw all the Hero Factory sets with the Bionicle items, and for some reason...... I was tempted to buy one. Thankfully I didn't and went to another store and got a replacement for the Tahu Star I gave away as a gift.
     
    It's just that for the last nine years I've always waited for new sets to come. It feels like an instinct, and the sets look alright, and the story isn't that bad.... actually after thinking about it lowers the temptation.
     
    Does anyone have an idea of how I can rid myself of this temptation?
