Here's a funny meme picture someone took at Brickfair this weekend.

We were talking about all the great art you've had commissioned for your games at Brickfair last night. It's great stuff. I might be interested in finally joining in the next time you have one starting up.

Man, how could I forget MLN, the game masquerading as a social network. I had some fun with it back in 2008-9. I think I made it up to the rank where the next masterpiece was the house, which I think was where a lot of people got stuck.

Always cool to see a recognizable name as the raffle winner.

Waiting for it to load on that 2007 internet... The serious answer would be checking for new Exo-Force comics. Sometimes I would even do it before going to school in the morning.

I actually started collecting a few pins starting with some Bionicle ones made by Rise at last Brickfair, so a rare official Bionicle pin would make a perfect prize!

21 Years! Not much going on here anymore, but that's still crazy. Love that we did get the 90th anniversary Tahu Spinny.

That's a yikes from me, N-G-Dawg.

This is the first I've heard of this movie. I don't think I'll be seeing it. From what I can tell it seems to be an animated retelling of another movie I've never seen...but with animal samurai.

You know, the first guy for Six reminds me of a certain someone.... Great mocs here.

The Barraki jaws were meant to close?!?!? 😨

The biggest one has to be Core Hunter's claw snipping be advertised as a play feature.

Good coverage, I like the Battleship Lizard.

I like these spotlight deals, they're cool.

O hi, I remember you mainly from the one time we met at Brickfair, but also a little on the site!

So I've definitely slowed my roll on purchasing LEGO in the years since high school mainly limiting myself to a couple large sets, some minifigures (while those were still affordable), and maybe a few others each year. But I always made sure one of those I got was each year's modular building. I had them all going back to the original Cafe Corner, and I wanted to keep up the complete collection. That was up until 2019. The garage just appealed to me less than the offerings up until that point. So I put it off. And then more modulars started being released...and I put them off too because I didn't have the garage yet. Today I saw that there are a couple nice promotions coming up from the LEGO shop this month so I thought now might finally be the time to get that Corner Garage. But then I noticed it's been discontinued. It feels pretty freeing not having to worry about maintaining the complete set anymore. From now on I can just pick and choose the sets I want, even among the modulars. I might pick up the Bookstore later this month instead to celebrate. So yeah, that was a little rambly and blog-y, but has anyone had a similar experience?

Not a huge fan of the Star Wars stuff, but I'd much rather have this than the weird oversized Chewbacca figure someone gave me as a give once.

Crazy how long ago that was. I remember the first few sets coming out when I was 12/13. I remember being hyped when we first saw the snake sets too. It's been going on longer than Bionicle at this point...

Happy Memorial day weekend BZPeople. I started a new job where I don't do much, and I already feel like I need the day off. Hope whoever wins our boy in green here enjoys it.

Another Lewa raffle, maybe this time I'll get it.

Happy birthday Taka! I love the little jumping spider sketch too.

I think making the forums the first thing people see is a good idea, yeah. Maybe add a link to the front page (or I guess just the page now) in a header or something. This also made me realize the "News" link in Hapori Tohu's signature still goes to .com rather than .info.

Man, I remember that thing...rahkshi of coffee. But since when is it just called "wakeup"??? Remember when it was "wakeup2", and everyone wondered why it was called that when there was no wakeup1?
