    It's that time of year; the week before Black Friday, LEGO launches their own special weekend of deals for VIP members. To start off, you get double VIP points on all purchases. (If you visit a LEGO Brand retail store, a handful of expensive sets have 5X VIP points when purchasing them too.) If you'd rather redeem some VIP points, you can get more bang for your buck with some discount offers on specific sets. Beyond that, there are also three Gifts-With-Purchases for when you spend $250, $170, or $65 (the latter limited to select themes.) Obviously not all of these deals will appeal to everybody, but if you wanted to pick up some bricks for holiday presents, it'll be worthwhile to check out.

  2. Two years ago (nearly to the day!) we let you know that BZPower member TheVirre2000 was looking for playtesters for a new version of the classic Bionicle: Quest for the Masks card game. They've been busy in that time and have now released the gametype for Tabletop Simulator in the Steam Workshop! You can head over to the new topic in the forums discussing the release to share your feedback and learn more about the draft style format of the game, as well as more information on how to play it. I love the creativity of the Bionicle community with projects like this!

  3. The makers of our favorite construction toys seem to be all about more practical construction these days. Last week it was announced that The LEGO Group broke ground on another state-of-the-art Billund campus focusing on an inspiring and playful working environment. This building will house 1,900 engineering, quality and production employees and of course will have as minimal of an environmental impact as possible, with the target being a LEED Platinum certification. Along with new factories in Vietnam and the United States, they seem to be investing a lot of their recent profits into growing the company's footprint around the world.

  4. Tomorrow, November 10th, between midnight and 8 AM Eastern Time, our hosting company will be moving BZPower to a new server. There will be some downtime, but hopefully the process will take much less than four hours and be quick and painless. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we keep our site up to date and running on the latest and greatest our host has to offer!

  5. It's been a while since we've heard an episode of the Bits N' Bricks podcast, but following the release of LEGO Bricktales, Season 5, Episode 50: The Tale of LEGO Bricktales has dropped on YouTube and other podcast platforms. Hosts Ethan Vincent and Brian Crecente talk to ClockStone Studio's co-founders Tri Do Dinh and Stephan Sossau, Headup founder Dieter Schoeller, and LEGO Games producers Anders Tankred Holm and Abhinav Sarangi about how the game came to be. They go back over a decade and trace the roots of the studio that almost stopped existing but instead has become a very successful indie developer making popular titles like Bridge Constructor. Give it a listen!

  6. Over in the Comedies subforum, BZPower member DoctorW shared their imagined BIONICLE Pitch Meeting for The Mask of Light, coming up with a humorous conversation between the writers and producers poking fun at some of the things in the film that don't make the most sense. They've continued the series with the other three Gen 1 films and may take a try at Gen 2 or other LEGO series in the future. If you enjoy the reads, let the author know and encourage them to continue!

  7. Last week, The LEGO Group invited girls to stay curious in STEAM subjects on International Day of the Girl. After receiving some depressing statistics in the "Geena Davis Institute LEGO Creativity Study," the company has kicked off an online campaign titled 'Let's Keep them Curious!' which provides a selection of STEAM activities to encourage girls to explore and stay interested in science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics. In addition, The LEGO Group is also donating $120,000 to the Girls Opportunity Alliance, a program of the Obama Foundation, "in support of their efforts to help adolescent girls and the grassroots leaders working to educate them." It's always great to see the company doing things to help build a better future.

    We return to the latest Crystalize wave of Ninjago with a look at one of the largest sets, 71775 Nya's Samurai X Mech. It has 1003 pieces for $119.99 USD, but it's also just another entry in a long list of Ninjago Mechs. Check out the review by BZPower Reporter Xccj to see if this one is worth its weight in gemstones, either here or on Instagram.

    Ninjago has often been compared to the likes of Power Rangers, and although they've had a few of their vehicle hook up together before, they've never done it in the fashion of Megazord or Voltron. Well, at least not before 71765 Ninja Ultra Combo Mech came around. Although this was part of Ninjago's not-matching-the-show's-canon Core wave, this came out a few months after the other sets so we didn't get a chance to review it last winter. But BZPower Reporter Xccj finally put it together to take a quick look at this combo mech and see if it's worth the hype. Read on or check out Instagram to find out.
