    BIONICLE Lamincards Auction - Full Album

    in Buy/Sell/Trade

    Posted

    Aaand yet again, I am auctioning a complete BIONICLE lamincards collection. For those unfamiliar with lamincards: BIONICLE lamincards are collectible, playable cards made of high-quality plastic featuring BIONICLE 2009 motives. They were released for a very limited time in 2009, and only in a few European countries (among those Poland, Italy and Germany). A total of 210 lamincards exist (160 motives plus 50 glitter editions).

     

    For graphic reference, see the following pictures from my first topic:

    BZP 2016 Spinny

    Fingers crossed we get Lego Batman head to commemorate the new movie next year. It would be nice if the staff ask the members for their opinions on what the new spinny should be. Whatever it is, just hope it looks as smooth as this years one.

    I love it. - Batman, The LEGO Batman Movie

    Animation: Lewa and the Rama

    in Fan Created Media

    Posted · Edited by Gatanui

    Excellent. Oustanding animation, which matches the music perfectly. I'm looking forward to seeing more work from you. :)

     

    By the way, if you made this as a Flash animation, could you also provide us with a .swf file for playback? The framerate on YouTube is less than optimal and the benefit of vector graphics is also lost this way.

    Complete BIONICLE Lamincards Collection for Sale

    in Buy/Sell/Trade

    Posted

    200$ for a binder of cards may sound like a lot until you start considering that these are quite uncommmon. I think 200$, which is the price for a WMKK, is also pushing it for a piece of common piece of metal, but as relatively few WMKK were made, the price rises accordingly. I doubt that there are many complete lamincards collections out there. To my knowledge, only one collection has ever been sold on BZPower thus far, and TLH bought it for 200$. Many BZP users did not even seem to be aware that these existed until I sold that collection.

     

    200$ for this album is not cheap, but I really don't think it's excessive, especially taking into account how many card packs I had to buy to finally put together a complete 210-card collection. However, it's not like I am unwilling to negotiate, so I suggest we continue this conversation via PM.

    LEGO Ninjago Movie Details Beginning to Emerge

    in BZPower.com News Discussion

    Posted

    I don't understand why so many people are freaking out about this. Granted: The new setting implies that the movie will be taking place in another universe and the characters won't be the Ninja we have seen develop and come to love from the TV series, meaning that we will be less emotionally invested.

     

    That may be a donwside, but it doesn't make the movie awful (yet). We don't know the plot and we haven't seen a single trailer so far! Calling out for boycotting the movie at this point is ridiculous and highly irrational. For all we know, it's still our beloved Ninja, but at High School.

     

    Now, if they were to change the actual personalities of Ninja, THAT would be a major aspect to be upset about, and I sincerely hope they are not planning on doing that.

    LEGO.com Turns 20 Years Old

    in BZPower.com News Discussion

    The Lego website and its content was at its best in the mid-2000s.

    This is the single most true post you will ever find on the internet.

     

    What I wouldn't give to go back to the good old days. Before social media, before smartphones. Back when kids played with toys instead of tablets, and when people actually talked to each other instead of texting.

     

    Where did everything go so wrong?

     

    I'd say the fact that LEGO's sales numbers have been constantly increasing for several years proves that there is still a very great interest in old-fashioned toys. And anyway, "back in my days" kids played on a Gameboy or online (or not online) games on a PC. I don't see too much of a difference to playing with tablets but if there is I'd love to hear it.

     

    And I'm pretty sure that the fact that people can now text in addition to talking doesn't mean there is less communication, it means there is more.

    LEGO.com Turns 20 Years Old

    in BZPower.com News Discussion

    Posted

    Personally the early 2000s had a lot of the games I have the fondest memories of. Mata Nui Online Game, Junkbot/Junkbot Undercover, and Supersonic RC FTW!

     

    With that said, there have been some pretty great LEGO online games since then. The Hero Factory Breakout online game was phenomenal, with beautiful level designs, fairly intuitive controls, and great character customization. It was kind of buggy sometimes, but having grown up on Nintendo 64 platformers that was pretty bearable, especially for a free online game.

    Yes, Supersonic RC was awesome! :D

     

    Well, I never really liked the Hero Factory Breakout online game, the graphics being rather awful (although I realize the game was designed to be able to run on mobile devices) and the gameplay being ludicrous. What is the point of a shooter with auto-targetting? That aspect alone sucked all the joy out of that game, but maybe, that's just me.

     

    In my opinion, the last really good BIONICLE/HF-related online game was Creep Crushers, having beautiful design and being generally comical and fun. Yes, there have been some good LEGO games since the mid-2000s, but I dare say the number of good games has actually decreased, even taking nostalgia into consideration. I particularly miss games with story-telling, Robot Chronicles (which I really enjoyed, by the way) being the last game I recall to have actually told some kind of story. I am actually very surprised that the focus of LEGO games has seemingly completely moved away from story-telling, as I consider the latter to be essential to boost a child's imagination. We, at least, would often draw our inspiration from the LEGO games, expanding the universe from the stories of those games and creating new stories around those to play with actual LEGO.

    LEGO Ninjago Skybound Theme Song "The Pirate Whip" Released

    in BZPower.com News Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Gatanui

    This song is kind of weird for several reasons:

     

    1. It's the fourth remix of the same song that's five years old.

    2. I never really understood how the lyrics related in any way to the story.

    3. It's kind of weird how some of the remixes replace "weekend" from the original title "The Weekend Whip" with something else, creating totally nonsensical titles like "The Pirate Whip". What is a pirate whip? What was the "weekend whip" anyway?

     

    Anyway, just some random observations.

    As some of you recall, I already auctioned a complete BIONICLE lamincards collection here on BZPower a couple of months ago. If you missed out on that chance and are interested in posessing one of these very rare pieces of merchandise, now you have a second chance to do so, because I am selling another complete collection (all 160 motives plus 50 glitter editions).

     

    Since I am too lazy (or busy, take your pick :P) to take new photos, be sure to check out these old reference photos of my past auction:

    Please keep in mind that BZPower's rules stat that banned members are not to be discussed. That goes for this topic as well.

     

    Hey, uh, just an FYI: This probably counts as discussing banned members, and you should not do that.

     

    Actually, Black Six is not discussing banned members but only the discussion of banned members. There is no rule stating that the discussion of banned members shall not be discussed.
