    Hey guys so in my further ventures of cleaning out "old" stuff I've been accumulating over the years I've got some unopened LEGO sets that I was looking to see if anyone had any interest in. Please note I'm not selling any of these yet and might not any time soon. I'd just like to know what any of you would be willing to pay for these. All are brand new in their packaging.

    Yeah, so now I'm premier, and that also got me Premier Outstanding BZP Citizen at the same time.
     
    I'll probably update this every now and then.
     
    Blog name courtesy of Sumiki and Zaath at BrickFair. I almost called it "Life of George" since my first name is George, and Life of George is an awesome game (even though it isn't compatible on my Android *rages*).

    So that was awesome

    By Meiko,

    Oh my goodness, Chima is awesome (the TV show).
     
    The characters are amazing.
     
    Lagravis is awesome. He's like god and kicks butt.
     
    Longtooth is like... how can I make this appropriate... kick... no bad... he's donkey 8D (Actually that makes me kind of want a donkey tribe)
     
    The ravens are really, let's say "simple minded". Not much going on under the cranium cap there. Makes it pretty funny.
     
    The gorillas, or at least Gorzan, are such hippies. Gorzan sees the battle and is like "Groovy". Also he seems a bit... high. No honestly. He seems to be acting like King Kong (heheh gorilla jokes) or something and needs to come down a bit.
     
    Crocs are awesome. Cragger is awesome, and his flashback story is great. Crooler... Oh my I didn't know LEGO would make such a seductive character with some appeal for "older audiences". Let's go with that.
     
    Wolves seem pretty cool. I really like Worriz's character. He's evil, and not a cheesy evil. He's evil, he knows it, everybody knows it, and it's a really cool evil.
     
    Didn't see many eagles, but Eris is soooooo cute. Her voice and the way she acts. It's adorable and attractive.
     
    Also, the "Legend Beasts" are awesome. More or less they are natural lions that never harnessed chi long ago, and didn't evolve like the others. "Legend says they will return when Chima needs them most." They are AWESOME, and I want a LEGO piece for the lion Legend Beast.
     
    Anyways, the show is pretty awesome, and if you couldn't tell from the things I did my best to tone down the coloquial terms which I'd be able to describe it better with, it's entertaining for any age group. Hopefully the terms I used weren't too bad.

    BZP TF2 Event #1

    By Meiko,

    Who's up for a preplanned TF2 event on the BZPower server I'm hosting? How about Saturday evening/night EST?
     
    Server IP has been changed, for those who have to old IP saved:
     
    108.44.211.182:27015
     
    Hit me up on Steam if you're interested, as I'll have to make sure the server is set up and able to handle enough people. Give map suggestions in the comments, and let me know if you want to participate (or if a different time/date would work better for you.)

    Epic Chima Display

    So what do you guys think?

    Introducing Brickimedia

    By Meiko,

    I'm proud to announce a new network for LEGO fans and sites (primarily wikis, which is all we host at the time, and plan to host): Brickimedia! Brickipedia, the popular LEGO wiki hosted on Wikia and several other LEGO Wikis have moved to Brickimedia by today, completing the current network of the sites.
     
    I did a lot of work with some people I just met when starting this project to set up the server and the wikis. If you're curious, the interface and experience may be similar to what you know on BS01, The Ninjago Wiki, or other independent wikis. Brickimedia will be cooperating with many other sites, including sites like Brickset to integrate information from the Brickipedia wiki to bring a more unified, easy, and complete online LEGO information on various sites you visit.
     
    Sites like BS01, Brickset, The Ninjago Wiki, or The Chima Wiki won't be moving to Brickimedia, but will support each other as 'partners'. I plan to talk to Black Six some time this week about what can be done with the Brickimedia network to make it BZPower-friendly, and what could be integrated on the sites.
     
    More information regarding the Brickimedia network can be found at http://www.brickimedia.org and if you have further questions, be sure to ask in the comments.

    BZPower TF2 Server?

    By Meiko,

    Title mostly self-explanatory. I'm considering hosting a BZPower TF2 server. Anyone interested? It'd be on the east coast (Washington DC area), so for those a significant distance from there, be mindful that you wouldn't have the best ping.
     
    Some things I need to know:
    First of all, who is interested?
    Should I leave it running 24/7? I have no problem with doing so, just want to know though.
    Should it be password protected?
    Should there be occasional scheduled "events" that would be planned ahead of time?
    What kind of map cycle should there be? What maps do you like?
    Any SourceMod plugins that should be used?

    Also, if you aren't already, be sure to add me on Steam.

    My Weekend at KidsFest

    By Meiko,

    This weekend I had the privilege of going to KidsFest in Richmond. Even with my pilonidal cyst making it annoying to walk or sit, I had a good time. Sometime once I finish Toy Fair coverage, I'll put up coverage on The Chima Wiki.
     
    With permission from Black Six, since I reached my Flickr upload limit, here are all of my photos on The Chima Wiki's Facebook: http://fb.me/1x9zhik8M
     
    The Chima section was really fun. It seemed quite popular, though I suck with Speedorz (I'm practicing though), but the kids seemed to be good at it.
     
    I got me a nice KidsFest Tour T-Shirt, 2 large Ninjago posters, a Legends of Chima Laval poster, a Legends of Chima Cragger poster, LEGO Club and Club Jr. magazines, and an exclusive Friends comic. I also bought 70100 Ring of Fire (review here), 70503 Golden Dragon, and 70013 Equila's Ultra Striker. My dad bought two Horizon Expresses as well.'
     
    Overall, it was an incredibly fun experience. Now I understand why tickets sold out so quickly, and boy was it a large, crowded event. I'm definitely going in the future.

    Can't wait till tomorrow!

    By Meiko,

    Oh yeah I forgot I have this thing now.
     
    Tomorrow when I get home from school, my brothers Aanchir and Lyichir will be there to greet me! It's been a while since we've both been home together...
     
    Yeah. That's all. I guess I can post the obligatory TCW update:
     
    The Chima Wiki is in the midst of working on the database to allow users already registered on TNW to use TCW without a separate account. We are hoping to have the site up around Christmas, about a week give or take.

    Happy Easter and...

    By Meiko,

    First off, Happy Easter everyone! Go eat chocolate and watch bunnies even though that has nothing to do with the resurrection of Christ.
     
    Also, tomorrow is my 6th anniversary of joining BZPower! Why does it feel like it's been longer than 6 years?

    Ouch

    By Meiko,

    So I've been having this killer pain in my tailbone, and it's gotten so bad I can't walk or sit without pain. I went to an urgent care center and they diagnosed it as a pilonidal cyst. So long story short, I might be out of school for a while, or at least gym. If it worsens, it'll require surgery. .__.
     
    Also I'm working on Toy Fair 2013 recapping for The Chima Wiki. Stay tuned for that, though this recent complication may get in the way of that.

    HD Chima TV Images

    By Meiko,

    A flashback scene about when the animal tribes turned against each other. Also, we don't have a name for this lion yet.

     
    The totally awesome Lion Fortress:

     
    Cragger entering his Chi state:

     
    Worriz, the leader of the Wolf Tribe:

     
    The beautiful Crocodile Fortress:

     
    The entire Lion tribe:

     
    My favorite image, of the floating island:
     

     
    Eris in flight:

     
    I get more of these daily, so if you like these, I can share more. I have to say, the animation quality of Chima is much better than that of Ninjago, especially when you look at the image of Worriz.

    I don't blog enough
    I've been really inactive on BZPower lately
    My birthday is this month
    20 days until Doctor Who 50th anniversary
    I got a job at Brickset as a news editor and database administrator today
    I left my position as administrator at Brickipedia for a while for various reasons
    I need a new phone (Nexus 5 pweaaaseee)
    I found this really catchy song by We Came As Romans
    I still don't understand why boys like My Little Pony
    Halloween was boring this year by the way
    Is it Christmas yet?
    If anyone wants me to, I'd be gladly willing and able to host a Team Fortress 2 server for BZPower
    Or a Minecraft server
    Or really any online game
    Leave your comments below please
    Thanks

    I went ahead and built my Epic Dragon Battle Ninjago set that I got at the Brick Friday promotion at the LEGO Store in Potomac Mills, Virginia at a nice discount. Very nice set, however it isn't taking the spot where I cherish my favorite LEGO set in recent times. *cough* UCS B-Wing *cough*

    BioniLUG

    By Meiko,

    So I can't join it? Wow this store app on the site sucks. I didn't buy it, it says I did, and now I can't actually pay for it. What a let-down.

    Merry Christmas!

    By Meiko,

    Just wishing everybody in the BZP community a Merry Christmas!
     
    And I guess I can post my loot.
     
    A picture, not counting what was in my stocking:
     

     
    Now the list:
    A new computer.
    Sweater (soft and floofy)
    Button-down shirt
    Socks (yay?)
    Agenda with a hoers on the cover
    Mega-Bloks Lamborghini
    Hobbit thingamajig
    Some Ninjago stuff
    Flash Drive (8GB)
    Steam Money (thanks Aanchir and Lyichir)
    Google Play money
    Wireless Mouse
    Chocolate and other candies
    A LEGO City set
    Money
    Other Misc Stuff

    And my dad got this set, and is continuously asking why this lady is smiling after her car is being put on a rollback.
     

     
    My dad also got some other LEGO City stuff, like the garage.
     
    And I'm guessing Aanchir and maybe Lyichir will post something about their Christmas, and if I'm right and one of them does post something, you all owe me a $5 bill.

    News on Legends of Chima!

    By Meiko,

    Okay, so Toy News magazine predicts that Legends of Chima will be the must-have boys toy in 2013.
     
    Also, an interview with a LEGO employee has confirmed Chima constraction (Hero Factory-like) sets and Chima board games for late 2013.
     
    Also, the Gorilla Clan is now confirmed.
     
    From the interview:
     
    This is a good day.

    Well, as you can see, I'm mostly inactive here on BZP anymore. Aside from BioniLUG, I've barely read a single topic recently, nor have I posted much at all. I guess it's three main causes for that...
     
    First, I really do not care one bit about Bionicle anymore, and it seems that any time people get the chance, they get all dramatic with "I guess this is the end", "I will wait for its return", etc. When I see that, I try not to be rude, but all I wish to say is "Grow up and move on". I know it's okay to have a strong passion and to have a love for a certain fandom, and I often vouch for others who feel that way, but all this has been carried on waaaay too long in my opinion. There are plenty of other good LEGO themes, and if you only liked LEGO for Bionicle, then deal with the fact that it's over, move on, and find something else to do...
     
    The second reason, and probably the main reason I've been inactive here is the lack of general LEGO discussion. Like I said, I really don't care for Bionicle anymore. There are other LEGO themes and topics I like to discuss. I've been more active on other forums and websites recently, and I really wish BZPower had a better community to discuss what I am interested in.
     
    Third, a lot of my time has been pre-occupied with other things. First of all, school has sucked this year (academics-wise; I've made a ton of awesome friends). I also got involved with the Brickimedia Network after they recognized me for my development and server administration skills. It's definitely been a fun experience, just because of how successful it's been, and I absolutely love engaging in their community. I've also been working with Swert on server and other backend work for BS01 and HS01, such as a new skin for HS01.
     
    I am still trying to keep up with BioniLUG, since that does seem to be the one thing holding me on BZPower, but at this point my attachment to the site is dwindling, and I'm starting to feel bad about it. I've always loved BZPower, but I don't find much to do here anymore. I'll see how I feel at BrickFair VA this year...
     
    Thank you for listening to my rant. Feel free to reply. :/

    Chima Online

    By Meiko,

    So I spent all day playing the closed beta of Legends of Chima Online with some friends from Brickipedia. It's really fun and addicting and glitchy.
     
    Anyways, check this topic if you want beta access! http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?showtopic=10010
