The BIONICLE website has a yet hidden Videos section featuring the known telling of The Legend and also a new video never seen before, titeled Masks of Power, though other than the title suggests, the video is more about the landing of the Toa than the masks. It's just thirty seconds but it leaves me hungry for more - I've already rewatched it several times and so should you! The animation is fantastic and the music is really cool and sets the mood, too.

The LEGO Minifigures Online MMO has introduced an Unlimited Membership. In case you don't know, Membership means you get to pay for a number of privileges and perks, like store discounts, additional in-game currency, a random minifigure every month and more. Unlimited Membership means you pay once and get all those perks for the game's entire lifespan instead of paying for a subscription. This weekend you can get it at a discounted price of USD 69.99 / GBP 49.99, though oddly enough I can't find the normal price on the website. You probably do when upgrading your account, though. 70 bucks is not too cheap but who knows how much money you could save if you actually pay regular subscription fees. View the full article

It's Thanksgiving and LEGO wants us to be thankful for the return of BIONICLE, so they only give us more reason to: BIONICLE.com has been updated with new content. There is still not a lot as far as story is concerned (apart from the video we already know), but there is a lot of cool pictures of the island, the regions and even teasers for the first three episodes that look very promising. You can even download the comics from the sets' building instructions in decent quality and there are all the building instructions as well. It's definitely worth a look and I'm sure we're going to get even more awesome stuff soon! View the full article

Today in the United States we celebrate Thanksgiving, and from the Administration of BZPower I'd like to wish you all a happy holiday. I think we all have a lot to be thankful for this year - the return of our favorite toy line, a great community of people on the site, and an exciting future with Bionicle. I'd like to personally thank all our staff for keeping the site running smoothly and our members for making this an awesome community that I want to come back to each day. So enjoy your football, turkey, and sales, but keep in mind what you're thankful for too! View the full article

LEGO has revealed the Minifigures Series 13 on their Facebook page (you will see a localized page so if you live outside the US, you may not see the reveal - you can check out the pictures on Leg Godt, though). After a (personally) not so exciting series 12 LEGO is returning with several fantastic new minifigures. I'm really fond of the King, Snake Charmer, Alien Trooper, Galaxy Trooper, Egyptian Warrior and the absolutely hilarious Hot Dog Guy. Which ones are you going to get? View the full article

If you thought the LEGO House was an exclusive set, you're in for a shock. Word has broken recently of 4000016 Billund Airport, which will only have ten thousand sets made and only be available to people flying out of the actual airport. Promobricks has all the details as well as an interview with the designer, who happens to be an employee at the store. Book your tickets to Denmark for next month, when the set will go on sale. I doubt it will be around for long, so it's as good a time as any to use those frequent flyer miles. View the full article

Having survived a conference where nearly 200 Matoran were killed, a small group of survivors bands together with the residents of BZ-Koro, the island city where the deadly conference was located.

Featuring members like Sumiki, fishers64, Burnmad, Xaeraz and Voltex, Bionicle Mafia: Book 2 - Extraction is a dark tale of betrayal and hope, as a small resistance battles against what feels like an endless wave of tyranny. Does that synopsis by Voltex Oblige sound interesting to you? Then go give it a read and make sure you have enough free time, there is quite a lot to catch up to.

You read that right. As Phil Lord and Chris Miller (you should be aware of who those guys are by now) have revealed in an interview on Yahoo a week ago, they planned to give R2-D2 a role in the level of Batman's, figuring they could do that because R2 doesn't require a human voice actor, but ultimately film rights got in the way. The interview also details how they wanted the film to feel more like a fan film than a toy advert and how they struggled with the ending. It's a short but interesting read for everyone who watched the movie and looks forward to the sequel. View the full article

The next update to the LEGO Minifigures Online MMO has been released earlier this month, this time bringing once again a new map: the dungeon of Lost Creations! You've got to admit, that portal looks quite cool. Not only that, but the game has now also been released for OS X so if you own a Mac, you no longer need to wait to play. You can now get bundles of Stars to upgrade your minifigures directly from the in-game shop, too. Sounds like players of the game have got some reasons to update their clients and new players may now want to give it a try. View the full article

Another LEGO Ideas proposal has reached 10,000 supporters, and this time it comes from none other than Forum Assistant Nuju Metru! An avid Lord of the Rings fan, as one can tell from his extensive builds of castle-themed MOCs, he proposed a key setting in the Tolkien novels and movies: Minas Tirith. His creation will join the many other projects that will undergo scrutinization to see if it holds up to what LEGO wants to release through the Ideas line. Just yesterday I realized this set idea had about 200 supporters left, and now it passed the mark. Congratulations, Aaron! View the full article
