There are a few good memes floating around online. Philosoraptor is one such meme. And now he's come to LEGO: The PhiLEGOphy Raptor! (Cell phone pic with decently solid background at WAMALUG using a friend's raptor.) Make your own! Maybe more to come? Enjoy! -CF (Totally stole that thought from a LEGO Movie character guide.)

Is it bad that I think the LEGO Elves are a lot cuter and more interesting as mini-dolls than they would ever have been as classic minifigs? It seems like for a lot of people, the classic minifigure is sacred and untouchable. I disagree. It has some real, meaningful disadvantages. Mini-dolls aren't perfect either, but there's nothing wrong with sometimes or always preferring its advantages (more realistic faces and proportions, less blocky body shape, more detailed outfits) over those of the minifigure. And it bugs me to no end to hear mini-dolls described as anorexic, because it makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE. To have minifigure-like body proportions, an average 20– to 29-year-old man in the United States (69.5 inches tall) would need an eighty-inch waistline, and an average adult woman in that age range (64 inches tall) would need a 73-inch waistline. Either way, that's twice the size of a waistline that would put you at high risk for obesity-related diseases. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waist#Waist_measurement). By contrast, people those heights with mini-doll proportions would have healthy 34.5-inch (male) and 32-inch (female) waistlines. Arguably if the minifigure and mini-doll didn't both have such exaggeratedly large heads (probably the most exaggerated feature of both figures), then both figures' waists would be even larger relative to their heights. And yet you don't see anybody complaining that minifigures and mini-dolls alike promote an unhealthy or unrealistic head size...

...I like to collect some of the Lego sets whenever there's a downtime in-between the MCU Lego ones. Don't get me wrong, I've watched every movie (Episode III is my favorite, for some reason ), and binged-watched Clone Wars and Rebels. But the franchise just doesn't "hook" me the way that something like Marvel does. But the sets, jeez. Something about the plain 'gray' color palette most of the sets have give a sense of 'unity' that just makes them really cool, amongst other things. Speaking of which, I need to pick up a couple more ASAP.

Where do YOU think Lego got the name BIONICLE from? -
Where do YOU think Lego got the name NINJAGO from?

Where do YOU think Lego got the name NINJAGO from? -
So I was stuck deciding between getting the Quinjet City Chase and Attack on Avengers Tower, or the Imperial Assault Carrier. And then I realized that both the Quinjet and Avengers' Tower have roughly the same amount of pieces combined as the Carrier, but for 20$ more. WAT. I understand the Marvel sets have a lot of stickers and recolors and the Carrier is mostly just gray bricks--that would of course equate to a few extra dollars, but 20?!
-
I personally think it's going alright, but I'm not sure if the sales and interest are great enough that the line will gain the extra years that the original Bionicle line and Ninjago have. Discuss below. -
The teaser trailer for my new series is here, coming this fall to Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBAGARpC1SY

Should Bionicle bring back the Matoran sets
Booky The Bookworm posted a topic in Bionicle Discussion
In the past, Bionicle has included Matoran sets; Smaller-scale sets of the residents of the Bionicle universe. So far, they have not made a comeback in G2. My question is... Do you want to see the Matoran sets come back? -

Around 2005-2007, Bionicle had a short run of Minifig size playsets. Kinda obscure now, they were pretty cool. I have been looking for a few, and was looking into them for MOCing and such. Did any of you own these sets and/or MoC with them? I don't really have a specific point of this Fourm, just a mish-mash of opinions, MoCs, and anything else relating to these obscure relics. -Austin

Hello, everyone. I've always liked the Barraki, the six antagonists of the Toa Mahri. They all had completely different builds, and different weapons, and in the story line, they were all warlords of different species. I was wondering, what's your favorite Barraki? I myself like Takadox, but that's me. Feel free to let me know of your favorites and comments.

I was cleaning up my room a bit and dug around in a few boxes. To my bemusement, I found an old Exploriens' box! While this is the oldest box I haven't recycled yet (I've recycled everything except Bionicle canisters, which up until recently were used as parts storage), the oldest set I still have built is a RoboForce vehicle that is sitting on my shelf (gathering dust). The Exploriens are my favorite LEGO Space theme, but I suppose at some point in my childhood I felt the need to take this set apart but was never compelled to do so to the RoboForce one. At this point I don't really feel like I should, if only to keep a bit of my childhood around (as well as a variety of figs). Also unearthed was a tub of Bionicle things I didn't miss: Piraka spines, Kanoka, Rhotuka, Kraata, Zamor, and some torsos from 2008 and on. I reorganized my Bionicle collection late last year but never said, "huh, I wonder where those Piraka spines are." But, I know they have building potential. (I wonder if the Rhotuka and Kraata are worth anything in my BrickLink store....) Oh and I found the LEGO Club BrickMaster CD with Bionicle comics #1-25 on it! Now I can reread most of the story (seeing as how I have no idea where in my house the physical comics are, despite now wanting to bag and board them). Just another day in the life of an AFOL! -CF

You'd think the Star Wars line would be as popular here as Ninjago or Chima, but nope. Why is that? Is the theme becoming more niche as time passes?

[Render] Volt by The Mugbearer, on Flickr Meet Volt, the electrifying space ninja aka Tenno from massive multiplayer online third-person shooter called Warframe. It's not entirely clear, whether Tenno are people that wear Waframe suits, or Warframes themselves, or some incorporeal presences that can switch between Warframes like bodies. The latter is logical if you think of it from a gameplay standpoint. Volt here, in addition to being one of the starting 'Frames, is a master of electricity, which is pretty obvious if you look at his name. Of course, I cannot show it without any sufficient special effects, and I will probably work on the image in Photoshop later, but at least you have now a good idea of what Volt looks like. I will also provide a screenshot with his front and back views. In his hand Volt holds his trusty Boltor nailthrowing machine rifle. For some reason I believe that Boltor is one of Volt's signature weapons. It oddly fits him. Anyway, comments and critiques are welcome, and as I promised, the screenshot: Volt by The Mugbearer, on Flickr

The Bricks Cascade LEGO convention took place this weekend in Portland, Oregon. After hearing from friends how it's worth visiting, this year I was able to see for myself! At about 200 AFOL attendees, it was a little small for what I was used to. But that meant a much higher chance of snagging deals, getting into some games and taking home some freebies. On Friday I played the Mixels Mix Up, where players combined two Mixels sets into something else (using all the pieces). I got third place in the judging (and more free sets)! And then on Saturday I got second place in the one-handed speed build with a City set! (No prize.) And since everyone was guaranteed to win a big set, I won the latest iteration of the Mos Eisley Cantina set! There were a few other perks due to support LEGO has started contributing to conventions. There were plenty of cool MOCs on display (pictures coming soon to the front page), some big, some small, and something that stood out in every theme. Keep in mind the con was "tiny" by my usual standards, but MOCs were still impressive both for the attendees and the public. Speaking of the public, Micah tipped me off that local Marvel Comics scribe Matt Fraction was visiting on Saturday. Due to my wishful thinking (wishful hoping) that he would, I wore my Hawkeye #3 "Because boomerangs" t-shirt, met him and had him sign it! (Majhost is down, so no pictures.) He immediately recognized the shirt to which I said it was my favorite issue. It was really cool meeting him since I missed out at New York Comic Con. For me, the main attraction has become less on MOCs and sales and more on hanging out with friends! Getting to the West Coast has different advantages than the East Coast, so I was able to see some friends I haven't seen in years, and some friends I haven't seen in months. Other members also attended, so making new friends was just another perk. You know who you all are. It was great to be able to spend time with everyone, and I think I divided my time appropriately (and hanging out as a group was great too). I also made sure I took some time to hike the famed great outdoors of Oregon. On Monday xccj and I hiked Eagle Creek and then stopped by Multnomah Falls. Due to the weekend's rain, all the waterfalls along the Eagle Creek trail were at full blast and made for some amazing scenery. Absolutely beautiful. It was great to be able to go hiking and get some fresh air, something I hadn't done in way too long. And now, another fun event has come and gone. I wholeheartedly recommend seeing if there is a LEGO convention or similar event in your area (even if going is a committed day trip) for any country. BZPower aims to have a large presence at many of the US-based conventions, discussed in our Event forum along with the goal to display your MOCs! My next big event will be BrickFair VA in August, but I plan on building some more between now and then. Events like this rejuvenate my inspiration to build something different and, if I really want to aim towards some awards, big and unique. Until then, leg godt! -CF

Hello I am looking for nearly anything bionicle related but mostly later sets such as stars, toa mahri and metru. If anyone is willing to part with lots or otherwise please let me know. Keep in mind money has been thin lately but within a week or two things should be back to normal so I may ask you to hold with or without a deposit on certain items. I do have other things as fodder such as transformers and toku so message me for details (mods I have read the rules but I do not have anything bionicle to offer, rather this is mostly a wanted post im not solely seeking to trade)
-
So what do you is the worst possible licence that lego could pursue and what kind of sets do you think "insert licenced theme idea here" would create.
-
So far I own Glomp, Wizwuz, Magnifo, and Niksput, and they are all super fun. Here are a couple little guys I made for fun this morning. Mixels are a lot of fun to build!

The Scarlet Speedster. The Fastest Man Alive. The Crimson Comet. The Streak. You might know him better as the Flash! I had to. Just for the pun utilizing the mask. I had quite some fun building him. He'll be debuting at Bricks Cascade this weekend as part of the Super Hero convention-wide theme. More pictures can be found on my BrickShelf. -CF

Remember how last summer I was seeking to get a hold of a red Kakama, and someone (Danny?) came through and helped me out at BrickFair? Well, here's why I had to have that mask: I had to. Just for the pun utilizing the mask. Sure, you can nitpick over the dark red parts or the red feet, but I had fun building him. He'll be debuting at Bricks Cascade this weekend as part of the Super Hero theme. More pictures can be found on my BrickShelf. With any luck, I'll be inspired to build a whole superhero team! BZPower Topic! -CF

He didn't turn out exactly how I would have liked, but a custom torso extending its length and reducing the neck will better match his long arms (which have to be that way if I want the layered CCBS otherwise it won't look like encompassing armor) and fix that. But I don't think those changes will come before Bricks Cascade, which is a shame because there's a whole super hero theme going on. Luckily I just built another hero which I'll hopefully post quickly. (Yes it's a terrible photo but it's a WIP so ha.) I've been itching to use that mask for Iron Man's gold/black armor since October. -CF

You guys remember that one mecha contest 8 months ago. well I missed the deadline for that But I post it anyway (Totally not based of the Heavy Arms Gundam from Gundam Wing. (actually it is but don't tell everybody))

Hello, everyone! It's time for the King Of The Deep to arise! "Whoa, whoa, whoa. King Of The Deep? What's That, a Makuta fish?" Much more than a Makuta fish... Much more. ENTRY PIC http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/ghidora131/Gadunka/100_3529.jpg That's right, it's the deep-sea monster, Gadunka! Here to stalk the depths with his massive teeth, and destroy the Master of Water! Now, for a few details on the design of how I made this truly 2015: CHEST PIC http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/ghidora131/Gadunka/100_3524.jpg I duplicated the design of the Protector bodies' upper half on him, but the Nuva armour gave it a much more smooth, underwater feel. Also, Mata/Metru blue doesn't fit, but the blue I used sure fits the glow-in-the-dark head and armour! SIDE PIC http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/ghidora131/Gadunka/100_3525.jpg *squid launcher for size reference* It's not so visible in the Picture, but the Spinax heads really give it a proper look, especially from the back. Also, they're huge shoulder pads, like this year's Bionicle goliath. BACK PIC http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/ghidora131/Gadunka/100_3526.jpg *squid launcher for size reference* Once again, crummy camera does not capture the beauty of the curve in his back at all. Dissapointment. :C Anyway, the heavy armoring reflects his heavy look - and is that a dolphin-style tail down there? NOM PIC http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/ghidora131/Gadunka/100_3527.jpg Wow! that's an impressive reach! Anyway, I tested it and it can hold two Mctoran! that's right, Mctoran! (he got the happymeals) Well, that's the undersea Malestrom for yah! If you like it, Vote for it in the 69th Bionicle-based creations contest!
