I'm a "90's Kid," so various LEGO themes from that decade are close to my heart. This most definitely includes the space themes, especially Exploriens. So without further ado, I give you my Exploriens Orion Class SHIP: The Exuberant. (Microspace. Minifigs would be so cramped in something like this.) You'll notice it looks different on the other side: This Neo Exploriens ship was inspired by the Orion of Stargate Atlantis, and boasts a length of 103-studs and about $140 in BrickLink orders as well as use of my own pieces (a SHIP has to be over 100 studs long). At BrickFair 2011 I even lit it up: (It's just taken me three years to finally take photos, but even with these I think I'll try another shot at it at the end of the month.) This currently resides at the LEGO Store at Potomac Mills in Woodbridge, Virginia, in WAMALUG's Window to the Community display for March: (See more.) You've seen the other Neo 90s Space ships I've posted these past few days, including Insectoids, Robo Force, UFO, and Ice Planet 2002. All of these Neo 90s MOCs pay homage to the original themes but explore building with pieces, colors, and techniques of the present. While I've built various space ships between this big guy and now, it still remains as one of my best works and a source of inspiration for me, making me want to build another, and better, SHIP. Those of you who knew this blog entry was long overdue, thanks for being patient. I hope everyone likes it! I've made a topic in the forums, but I don't mind if you post here too/instead. More pictures can be found on BrickShelf and Flickr. -CF

I adore the space themes of 90s LEGO sets. From Exploriens to Insectoids, I was all over intergalactic travel and battle. Not content to leave the 90s in the past, I took my ship building up a notch and built a SHIP (Seriously Huge Investment in Pieces) in 2011. The result is this piece of microspace, the Exploriens' Orion-Class starship The Exuberant: (See more on BrickShelf and Flickr.) (Yes, microspace. Minifigs would be so cramped in something like this.) You'll notice it looks different on the other side: This Neo Exploriens ship was inspired by the Orion of Stargate Atlantis, and boasts a length of 103-studs and about $140 in BrickLink orders as well as use of my own pieces (a SHIP has to be over 100 studs long). At BrickFair 2011 I even lit it up: (It's just taken me three years to finally take photos, but even with these I think I'll try another shot at it at the end of the month.) This currently resides at the LEGO Store at Potomac Mills in Woodbridge, Virginia, in WAMALUG's Window to the Community display for March: (See more.) Surrounding the SHIP are more microspace 90s creations from my favorite themes, updated to account for two decade's worth of pieces. These Neo 90s MOCs pay homage to the original themes but explore building with pieces, colors, and techniques of the present. (These were build last week. Not three years ago.) Neo Ice Planet 2002: Neo UFO: Neo Robo Force: Neo Insectoid: What's next? Hopefully some Neo Blacktron II and something smaller for the Exploriens. Once again, please see more of the Exuberant on BrickShelf and everything on Flickr. (Other ships' links above the image.) The Exuberant will be making it's fourth appearance at BrickFair VA in August, and I see no reason why I won't tote the rest along as well for a full-on nostalgia attack. -CF

Just like my Micro Neo-Ice Planet ship I made a few weeks ago, I have expanded my Neo-90s Space output with another starfighter: Neo-UFO! The goal of "Neo Space" is to create sci-fi designs (ships, rovers, etc) influenced by the shapes, colors and concepts of the old space theme being imitated while taking advantage of today's wider array of pieces, colors, and building techniques. I'll take some 360-degree pix once I find my UFO 2x2 tile for the center. Again, this is for an upcoming display of mine. I have a few more days free to build, so I'll be making some more revamped/updated 90s space themes in micro. -CF

Hey everyone, Me and 3 other guys from BMP are working on a game, called right now "Lego Islands", the name will be changed later so there are no copyright issues. But to get to the point, we need some maps done up for the island, but we are all awful at drawing. So what I would like you guys to do is draw me some maps! Just use the image feature to imbed your image in you post. We need maps done up for the following islands: And older native island with beaches and bamboo hutsA modern island with cars and helicoptersA spawn point island, we don't really have an ideas about it yetA sci-fi future islandA Bionicle islandA Chima themed islandAnd we need 4 other island, we don't have an theme ideasIf we use your map, you will be credited for making it, in the credits . Also we may need some more maps draw later, of the whole world, so look out for some more work if you want to. ldd2000

I really need to learn to avoid any and all discussions of Lego part quality. The amount of misinformation in them tends to make my blood boil. Like the idea that the plastic formulation in Bionicle parts ever changed across its ten-year lifespan (excepting the introduction of new materials like the rubbery plastic tubing of 2007 onward), or the notion that Chinese production is inherently inferior (and cannot be made better or more reliable). I just read an interesting article about Lego setting a target date for transitioning off of ABS as its primary material, which is a considerable challenge but an admirable one in terms of sustainability and a fascinating notion as it relates to materials science. Yet I'm already dreading the furor that is sure to erupt in Lego communities regarding this news, which is sure to only get worse with each passing year.

Hey there, I decided to stop by and post this, ending my BZP hiatus. Something just occurred to me about LEGO's licensing deals - they go both ways. Think about it. LEGO works with Nickelodeon, and Hero Factory happens on TV. They work with Warner Bros, and we get Ninjago and Chima on Cartoon Network, which they own, plus The LEGO Movie. I recently discovered something has been done with Disney - A LEGO Friends TV show on The Disney Channel. Now, with The Simpsons set, what is going on with Fox? - Fivrik -

Remember back at the end of summer I reported that Marvel was releasing various comics with variant covers featuring classic covers redone with LEGO figs? Turns out they were going to be ratio variants and thus rarer (and more expensive) than the usual cover price. (Ratio variants are sold one for every 25 normal covers a retailer orders, or whatever the ratio is. This makes them rare and acceptable for the retailer to sell them for a higher price.) Well, go forward a few months to now, and I am now the proud owner of two of those! (For a significantly lower price than if I bought them for $20 each at my local comic shop.) The total for these two was $21. I was surprised, but happy, that they were less on Ebay.) I'm going to give one to BrickFair for the silent auction supporting the Slade Child Foundation, the question is, which one? Which one do you think would garner the highest bid amongst AFOLs? Pros of the Spidey cover: -Marvel's #1 poster-boy. -Action scene. -Including an arch-nemesis. Pros of the Wolverine cover: -Marvel's #2 poster-boy. -Close-up with those claws. -Better art (imo). And then I'll probably frame the other one (once I get around to framing my other favorite covers too). -CF

Look who I found hiding with some other figs on display on my shelf: Looking forward to seeing Benny, and all the other characters, on Sunday night. You know, when there is the lowest chance of little kids in the theater because school is the next day.* -CF *Because a midnight showing or something at 10 PM wouldn't work for me.

So yesterday after watching an AMAZING episode of My Little Pony, Aanchir, Meiko and I went up to Potomac Mills to see Catching Fire before it left theaters for good. As I expected, it was excellent. And as a bonus, we got to visit the Lego store! My haul was as follows: 70803 Cloud Cuckoo Palace 70724 NinjaCopter President Business Collectible Minifigure Emmet Poster, Wyldstyle Poster (which I missed last week), and Benny Poster Build-a-Mini Pick-a-Brick Cup (including, among other things, more than a hundred each of Olive Green cheese slopes and Light Bley 1x1 round tiles) Uni-Kitty Key Light (not from the Lego store, but from the Books-a-Million which a Lego store employee helpfully informed me had two in stock) Rainbow Dash and the Daring Do Double Dare (also from Books-a-Million, obviously) Meiko also picked up 71006 The Simpsons House to review, as well as 70808 Super Cycle Chase. All in all, a good day. And I'm now the proud owner of two Uni-Kittys (the fig itself and a light-up keychain). It was a somewhat modest haul for a trip to the Lego store, but it was satisfying, and I'll be able to pick up the slack next month when I visit as part of the BZPower Lego Movie Meetup!

Hi guys, LordofBionicles here! Time for my first topic of 2014, I was just wondering, which do you think is the worst character we have seen so far? Is there someone that you despise? Or that you don't like to see in the story very often? maybe he's obnoxious or you felt dissapointed towards him/her. I am not saying that there is a character that ruined BIONICLE or anything like that but, I believe there can be some characters who are not as good as some of the others. I personally don't feel Keetongu is such a great character, I mean his only reason of existence was for the Toa Hordika to find a way to get back to their Toa Metru forms, I can imagine the story team thinking: "Well we need some kind of cure for the Hordika venom, what should it be?" -How about the Remove Posion Kanoka? "No, too easy" -How about Roodaka's Rhotuka? "No, save that for the Rahaga" -Well if we don't know the cure then how about a character who knows it for us?- "Brilliant!". Plus I´m not sure I buy the idea that his strenght can rival that of a Makuta, I don't think Keetongu could beat Icarax in that sense. So how about you? Please leave your opinion and comments below.

I've seen many people find old Lego games by asking other users on these forums, therefore I'm willing to give this a shot... Been looking through pages and pages of the internet archive and none of them seem to want to load the game. I'm looking for the old Johnny Thunder game called "The Lost Treasure of Ancient Greece". I would much appreciate any kind of working link, whether it be an archive, a direct flash link, a re-upload onto another website, or even a download. During my searches I found this post; http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?showtopic=6451 but the link to download seems to be dead, yet the OP's reaction shows that it was available at some point. Is there any other way to acces this game or is it a lost cause? (sorry if I've mis-typed my post in any way or started this topic the wrong way; I just joined and I'm still trying to get a handle on the forum and question asking basics)

Hello there! I do not intend to be rude, but if I may, could I ask some questions about the Lego Based Creation(s) forum? Assuming one may say yes (sorry), I would like to inquire in that I do have things I like to think of, but do not not have necessary parts to build and if I do, they are attached to sets I am not fond of breaking. Is one allowed to post images from building related applications and websites (such as Lego Digital Designer)? Do not created from not created from handmade parts count as creations, and if so, would they warrant their own threads? And if one were to post images or create threads from these, what is the penalty if these are against the rules and count as spam? I apologise if I have annoyed everyone, and I thank you all for your patience in advance.I hope you have a nice day!

I just found some BrickForge freebies while cleaning my room. ...Handed out at BrickFair 2012. Oops. Still, more cool things to have minifigs hold! Woohoo! -CF

Might as well say it sooner rather than later: I don't plan on going to BrickFair Alabama in January or Bricks Cascade in March. I need to buy a new computer as the new year rolls over* and probably a new bike come springtime (mine got stolen in September). Convince me to go to a springtime/summertime convention within a few hours drive? Go for it. But a whole day's drive mid-south or flight out west (as wonderful as Portland and its inhabitants are) isn't a good idea for me.** -CF *This thing is 5+ years old! **Make it rain money and then we can talk plane fare.

Recently lego announced a new theme called "Lego Mixels." It is going to have it's own Cartoon Network show as well as some sets. What exactly it is, we don't precisely know apart from what has been posted on the lego wiki (which we still don't precisely know.. it's a wiki, what can you expect.) It will feature "the colorful Mixels creatures that can mix and combine with one another in creative and unpredictable storylines. A collectible portfolio of low-priced mini building sets will launch in three waves in 2014 and an app-powered gaming experience will engage fans in a deep mobile game that will cover the sprawling world of Mixels." It is one of those things that may have promise, but could also be incredibly anticlimactic. The fact that lego is working with cartoon network is certainly not promising imho (I personally find the Chima and Ninjago TV series to be some of the worst media decisions by Lego). However this about an "app-powered gaming experience will engage fans in a deep mobile game that will cover the sprawling world of Mixels" could be really cool, maybe even like Bionicle. Remember, Bionicle started out small. It might also be like the old creator x-pods which were pretty cool. But it's all in the balance. Though this theme is geared for a younger audience, I hope there will be a deeper storyline that could appeal to us older fans.
