Recently Alexander Pinera over at TheGamer put together a list of 10 Forgotten Lego Games, with three Bionicle titles making the list. Obviously we're a bit biased, but I can't think of any Bionicle fan who's forgotten about the Mata Nui Online Game! While there are certainly some obscure games there, most seem pretty well-known in LEGO circles. Are you aware of all ten? Which on the list is your favorite?View the full article

He wanted to make use of the new hook element introduced in Ninjago and came up with a great model that combines contraction and system elements. The creation definitely captures Gali's elegance, grace, and power, and showcases the ultra-rare mask from G2. Make sure you check out the neat base with a little nod to the Toa Nuva as well!View the full article

Coming back from a couple months of soul-searching, I am ready to return to streaming - come join the block party!

That stream is B6's Block Party! Our first stream will be tomorrow, March 20th, at 7 PM Eastern, where we're going to build a LEGO set. What set? You'll have to come and find out!

Recently BZPower member Likonan returned to the forums to share their Matoran/Matoric Script Revision concept. Based on some earlier work by kaikue and others, it endeavors to create a syllabary writing system rather than just replacing the familiar characters of the Latin alphabet one-for-one. I find it fascinating and also way over my head, but I sure appreciate all the thought and effort that clearly went into it. Go check it out if you're interested in linguistics!View the full article
