Valendale

I'll take that last spot.

Shelves? I wish I had shelves. But I've found unused space around the house that I've converted to serve that same purpose. On them we have:Urak-hai ArmyGandalf Arrives Helm's DeepThe Brickfair 2012 event kitMy family's Heroica packsThis moc: http://www.brickshel...y.cgi?i=5555900

I'm gonna go ahead and say the tire thing too. Every time I saw a tire on a ball joint ...

Happy Birthday, Smeag!

Moat of my friends are aware of my love for LEGO, and some o the closer ones know that it includes Bionicle. I would say that none of them know I'm on BZPower. I may have mentioned it a couple times, but they most likely did not know or care what it is about.

I always go one bag at a time. It makes the build easier and I don't really have the space to dump all the bags out at once.

The Barraki were the only canister line to pull off the whole "We're not just color swaps of each other" thing. I also liked the way each was based off of a differant sea creature. And let's face it, Takadox's full-body glow beats out Piraka teeth any day.

The last sets I bought were Jaller and Gukko and Kohrak Va at Brikfair last year.

There are a number of forums that I don't visit all that often, but the ones I go to the least are the Voting both and the two affiliates.

I'll take the Kopaka Nuva.

I have both the Metru blue Ruru and Lewa Phantoka's mask, as well as a Kaukau. You said you have some stuff to trade. I'm looking for most of the ice canister sets from 2005 or earlier, as well as Turaga Nuju.

For me it was a very tough choice between entries 2 and 5, but I eventually decided on 2, as I felt it better fit the theme.

That is a great find. But, I'm sorry to say, that is not the best deal ever. A couple years ago a bought 46 sets for a little over $50+shipping. Also included were a lot of collectables including some rare ones like poisoned Hau, orange and gold Vahis, shadow kraata, and disks of time. However all of them were opened, most missing boxes, a few were missing instructions, an one(boxor) was incomplete. Still, we both got great deals.

Happy Birthday!

I always imagine the as their avatar, even if it's just a couple stripes or dots. Other than that, I imagine that they would all make good radio hosts, in that they look nothing like they sound.

I don't send too many pms, but when I do, it's always relevant to the topic of the message.

Hmmm... Have to think a little on this one. I think it was a series 6 minifig, specifically the minotaur.

I offer congratulations to Gavla upon reaching this milestone. Now you've got that Metru Nui Makuta all sealed up!

Do you have anything you could trade for said masks? Specificly things on this list:http:http://brickset.com/...tedBy=ValendaleHere are the masks I can offer:http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=501738 (I've found more since I took that picture, but they're all duplicates of what's in there.)

I don't beleive BZPower is dying. It isn't anywhere near dying. It's easily more active than other single-theme LEGO forums. And as several others have pointed out, there are plenty of new members coming in. I've also heard a lot people say they've seen their post counts rise at a faster rate after the down time. I would say that holds true for me at least

Like others have said I miss the books, and the unity BIONICLE brought. Another thing I miss greatly is the three way titan combos from 2004-06. I've thought about making my own for later years, but havn't really gotton around to it.

Let's see-Garmadon's dark fortress-Ice Dragon Attack-Skeleton Bowling-Skeleton Chopper-Lightning Dragon Battle-Venomari ShrineI was mostly buying to bulild my undead army, but there are a few 2012 sets that intrest me, namely the Fangpyre truck and dragon battle. I'm planning to get the Epic dragon Battle at BrickFair, and I'll hopefully pick the truck up sometime before then.

Will it be like last time, where you just build it and leave it at the store, or will we actually be able to purchase our heroes/villans

This is an unsettling trend that has been occuring more and more recently. Someone buys a set , takes out the minifigs/other valueable parts, and returns it. It's especially common with Star Wars sets.There was one instance where this happened to me. I got a Dwarfs' Mine back when they came out. It was missing bag five. Unfortunetly, I did not build the set, rather useing it for parts, so I didn't realize it was gone until it was far to late to do any thing about it.
