Pohatu: Uniter of Stone Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) I wonder what the tournament is going to be. Is it going to be a new game, or just who can score the most points in the current game?

steelviper77 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I wonder what the tournament is going to be. Is it going to be a new game, or just who can score the most points in the current game? What do you mean by the "current game?" Apparently it's a thing where you use the little stud launchers to hit targets or something, but I've not actually gotten to try it. They had a little table behind a bionicle display but it wasn't set up at all. When I asked about the prize they said they had no idea. Quote In honor of the anniversary, I'm making a signature.

The NYCC Tahu mask was exclusive to that event so there's zero chance of it being that, while the Hero Pack would be an underwhelming prize considering it will have recently been available to pretty much everyone for free. And Lego can't just give out a "pile of parts"—that sounds like it'd run into the same issues as the old "grab bags" of used parts from display models, which were discontinued because there was no way to ensure quality.

xccj Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Eh, guessing there's an age limit on that anyway, so not interested myself. Still, a decent excuse to pick of LoSS at double VIP and some more Ninjago sets to get Kai.

Aanchir Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Lots of great offers, but I'm most excited for the bit about the passport! I've already gotten stamps from the two LEGO stores near where I live, but I'm guessing this will be a special BIONICLE stamp since all you need for the LEGO store's normal stamp is to show up.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 It looks like some interesting stuff is happening at Lego Stores next month. I would enter the Bionicle Target Game, but I bet I'm too old for it. Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

Pohatu: Uniter of Stone Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I'll enter the Bionicle Target game, or I'll try. I lucky that I look a lot younger than I am. 1 Quote I HATE SCORPIOS ~Pohatu Master of Stone, 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Cool about the VIP offers on the Bionicle sets. The shooter game is intriguing since I thought that had been going on since March 15th. Did anyone get the chance to go? -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelviper77 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I'm a huge dingus and forget to check my physical calender I got when I went out for the hero pack. The image uploaded here doesn't have the back, but on the back of the actual calender it says"LEGO BIONICLE Target Game Tournament!April 20, 21, 22 at 5pmJoin in on the fun and compete in a tournament bracket with other builders. Use the LEGO BIONICLE buildable action figures to fire the Elemental Blasters and hit the target. You'll earn a BIONICLE poster just for participating! And the overall winner each night will recieve a BIONICLE buildable action figure. May the best blasting skills win! See a Brick Specialist for details*." Emphasis mine. So that pretty much clears it all up. You probably get to hold a little protector and then you have to fire as many of the targets as possible. Lyichir is right, we'll just be getting one of the sets if you win, but I want one of those posters so I'll go anyways. I 99% doubt that there will be anything you'll miss by not going.

Yeah, I was far off. Looking at it now, a poster for participating and a set for winning is a logical choice, seeing as kids can't get a whole wave of sets quickly like some teenagers or adults can, and posters are easier to produce but are still able to retain exclusivity when not widely produced.
