Yesterday DuckBricks dropped a two-and-a-half hour video of his trip to Denmark to meet Christian Faber and go through a warehouse's worth of Bionicle and other LEGO memorabilia. There's some crazy stuff there, and apparently there will be more videos and coverage to come. This sounds like an amazing opportunity, and I'm glad he's been able to capture and share it with the community!View the full article

Earlier today BZPower Member Mushy the Mushroom shared updated instructions for her plush Macku and Hewkii dolls over in General Art. We gave away one set she generously donated to a lucky member earlier this year, and I can tell you from having held them that they're even more adorable in person than in the photos. If you're good with a sewing machine and a needle and thread, or know someone you can kindly convince, your life would be better off with these cure plushies. We may have some more to give away in the future as well, so keep your eyes peeled right here!View the full article

You have until the end of today to score double points on your LEGO Shop@Home orders! This will work out (in the US at least, points vary per country) to about a 10% discount on the set instead of the usual 5%, in terms of the rewards you can redeem in the future. They also have some high-dollar sets on sale, including the UCS Razor Crest and Hulkbuster for 30% off. They're still super-expensive, but it's probably among the best deals you'll see on them in the near future.View the full article

If you're able and willing, consider helping them out!View the full article

Earlier today over on Instagram, The LEGO Group officially announced their partnership with Nintendo to create Animal Crossing sets! The figures give some serious FABULAND vibes, which older fans from the 80s tend to remember fondly.

Let us not forget the events of twenty-two years ago today. We were here at Kanohi-Power and BionicleZone back then, and we all lived though 9/11/01 as a community. Twenty-two years later, we are still here, members are still here - and although it's been over two decades it's important to remember what happened in the hopes that we can keep it from ever happening again. The world is now different, as is our community that has lived through a difficult time - it is important to remember all those who lost their lives.View the full article

Late last week in a press release, The LEGO Group shared their intent to "achieve net-zero emissions by 2050" with regards to greenhouse gases. This doubles-down (triples?) on their previous pledge to reduce their emissions by 37% in 2032. The company is working with the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) to develop a plan and goals to keep them on the right track. I look forward to seeing their progress over the next twenty-seven years and hope they reach their objective!View the full article
