I have a problem here. Two actually. Because of convention circuits, I now have two things: my choice of personal custom member title, and a six-month Premier Membership.
I can't think of a title I want at the moment.
I don't need the Premier Membership.
(Try to guess where this is going.)
So yeah, I'm open to suggestions. Best suggestion (as judged by me) from a non-Premier Member gets six months of not having to pay for a blog and stuff. Whether I use any of the suggestions or not depends on how clever you all are, but the best (non-PM) one still wins the prize.
Rules: 1. don't cheat 2. don't make my job harder if you win 3. entry period ends Wednesday Dec. 17 at 11:59:59PM East coast US time (any entries after this won't be counted)
Used PaB to get some chest and back armor for Evo. And some purple. Also grabbed some stuff from RXL for extra decoration. The chest armor is cool because you can see some of the circuitry through it, though it limits head movement somewhat. I also bought his purple head and yellow 2.0 helmet piece, but I skipped the helmet connector/grille because it was over a dollar. Kind of regretting it because I don't really have a way to use it now.
I gave Reapa what I considered to be the only thing that could make him better.

Since it's the most wonderful time of the year, I figured I'd celebrate with prizes. Or, prize, singular.
So, what you do is guess a number between 1 and 13. So the positive integers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13. Pick one, guess it. You have until the close of Sunday, Eastern US time, to pick a number.
Once entries are closed, I'll RNG a number, and then of the people who guessed that number I'll RNG a winner. Winner gets a Hero Pack, with its fancy transparent pumpkin Mask of Fire and scary scuttly Skull Spider.
rules: - One entry per person - You're gonna have to give me your shipping address if you win - I guess you can change your guess until entry period is over, but I don't think that'd help you that much - No cheating - No pointing out that the Mask of Fire isn't actually a Hau, it's a good pun and you know it
Violation of any rule is grounds for disqualification. Especially the last rule.
This is brought about by those threads about "What's the most noobish thing you've heard?" I'm sick of it. You can't honestly expect everyone on the face of the earth to know everything there is to know about BIONICLE.

Comment with your suggestion(s), and I might use one. As judged by me, best suggestion by a non-Premier Member gets a free six-month Premier Membership.
Back when I initially built my "Hero Factory Toa" I had been trying to think of ways to make Nuva versions as well, but couldn't think of any decent way to recreate the shoulder armor. But now that these new shoulder armor pieces exist, and in silver, that concern is trivial.
Thank you, LEGO, for continuing to help me realize my dumb little dreams. <3
