  1. It's been discussed a great deal. I don't think any of the staff are entirely opposed to doing it, and I know set inventories are in the works for BS01. I think what we're waiting on is deciding on whether to use Brickipedia (http://en.brickimedia.org) as an external source for detailed set information (as Brickipedia already uses BS01 as an external source for a large quantity of story information) or to develop some new organization for set information on BS01 independently (or a combination of both options).
  2. Speed Champions is the theme I'm most excited for in 2015, especially since I'm looking forward to future waves besides the one we've seen so far. Since this news article says how they appear to capture the actual cars well, I'll leave this article here that compares the sets to the actual cars (in case any readers didn't already read this on Brickipedia/Brickset/TheBrickBlogger).
  3. As soon as Swert and I figure out what we're going to do with the server the site's running on, it's offline to save resources so that BS01 can run more stably now that Bionicle information is popular and getting heavier traffic than it has in several years. Hopefully we'll have the server stuff sorted out in the coming weeks, but certainly will be back before 2015 from what I've talked to Swert about.
  4. PayPal lets you send/donate money in any currency and will convert it to USD when it gets to BZPower's account.
  5. Because that gets confusing to read and keep track of, especially like you noted if there's a reboot again. Here's to hoping LEGO doesn't do something ridiculous for "Generation 3" by making it a continuation of Generation 1 or something.
  6. Whether we move off Okoto or not, we need a more broad term to separate this era of Bionicle from the last. If we go ahead and have everything named "Tahu (Okoto)" we'll have to go moving all those pages again as soon as we do change islands, and we'll be in the same place we are now in trying to find a term. There's also the possibility we don't leave Okoto but some story information takes place in a different island such as in a flashback or something, therefore we'll have pages like "Tahu (Okoto)" and "Randomguy (Randomisland)". There'd be no consistency therefore it could become harder to keep track of which articles are which on the wiki.
  7. Shipping is fine, as long as you don't mind paying for it. I'll just let you give it to my brothers. Will you just want me to pay you via PayPal or something?
  8. The discs are fine. A couple corners on the outer packaging are a little dented, which came from shipping when I originally bought it. I never even made it through rewatching the whole show, so most of the discs haven't even left their case. Okay, that sounds good. Unless someone makes a better offer, how does $25 sound? Sure! Want me to ship it to you, or should I give it to your brothers at NYCC? Shipping it might be more reliable. But whichever is easier for you if you don't feel like getting a box for it and shipping it.
  9. Don't really have time to see if this is an already-reported bug. If it is, ignore this. If not, the sensitivity setting is too close to the Quit button on the pause menu, which makes it near impossible to change (haven't been able to successfully change it myself). I've only tried it on PC at 1920x1080. Here's a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/TPnenQB.png Also if it's not too much to ask, would you mind sending me the Maya model for any random Matoran? I've been trying to learn Maya and I think this'd be an easy model for me to use as a reference, if you don't mind.
  10. The discs are fine. A couple corners on the outer packaging are a little dented, which came from shipping when I originally bought it. I never even made it through rewatching the whole show, so most of the discs haven't even left their case. Okay, that sounds good. Unless someone makes a better offer, how does $25 sound?
  11. Not sure I'd compare nine movies to five seasons of TV. How about $30? Before I make any more offers, are all the discs and the packaging in good shape? I ask because I've found New and Like New copies online from $25 so I don't want to go too much higher than that.
  12. If you're only looking for $15 for the motion picture set, how does $15 sound for Stargate?
  13. Would you rather us make offers in the comments or in PM? Kinda interested in the Stargate DVD set.
  14. Think of it like how Wookieepedia does it. Even if there are differences between storylines, both storylines will be documented.
  15. Nevermind what I posted here since the source was a joke and I didn't notice that
  16. I'm a LEGO Ambassador now!

      Wow, I think you'll be the youngest one yet. That's quite an accomplishment. Congrats! :)

  17. Here's a bit of information about this: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200170086-What-does-the-Browser-Integrity-Check-do-
  18. Lol why is it that any time anything happens, I look and there's another redundant Wikia wiki for it? I don't really see how this is necessary; seems like a better way to spend time would be to add 2015 information to BIONICLEsector01 or Brickipedia when the time comes, since those are two places people are more likely to go to for research in the first place. And yeah, starting a new site and adding content that infringes on copyrights isn't a great way to establish a good reputation early on. Also Wikia sucks.
  19. The URL hasn't changed for me. For them to have changed it they'd have to repost it and delete the old one, which would be really awkward for them to do on social media, especially when it's been up there for more than a day as it is.
  20. Tardis Wiki just calls it a "Figure". http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Figure_(Listen)
  21. All of them. They're very in touch with the online community. They're aware of it pretty much as soon as we are. Yeah. Lego's always been in touch with BZP - remember just a month or so ago when the company asked BZP to set up a survey about the Lego Magazine? More than just BZPower. Probably very soon after this discovery was originally posted on Brickset it was on LEGO's radar. Yep, Brickset users often jokingly refers to the "Brickset effect" whereby anything that's not supposed to be revealed gets taken down shortly after it's reported as news on Brickset. Unless, of course, it's something like this that won't matter in a week or so anyway. The Brickset effect has a second definition whereas if something is linked to by Brickset News, it often is a noticeable spike in the linked site's analytics (Google Analytics, Quantcast, etc) and/or it causes the linked site to crash due to all of Brickset's traffic.
  22. That's a waste of marketing time, effort and potential. No sane person who has any qualifications for marketing would decide it was a good idea to build up suspense for an announcement of an announcement that everyone would have to wait 4 days + 1 month for.

  25. No matter how hard they try to keep this under wraps, the online AFOL community will always be too good at finding things out early.
