The first half of the BZPower Convention Circuit has flown by, and now we're gearing up for the main event: BrickFair Chantilly! As one of the largest LEGO fan events in the country, it will have a huge gathering of Bionicle builders and we want to show off your MOCs there! If you're interested in participating in BioniLUG's Horror Garden Collab, or just want to send some cool builds, hit that first link to see what you need to do! We'll be sure to thank you with some free LEGO sets when we send your MOCs back at the end of the circuit. Happy building!

Welcome to May! With Star Wars Day almost here, it only seemed right to kick off the month with a Star Wars raffle. (And not at all because that's what we usually give away!) Run-don't-walk over to the 2024 Member Raffle #5 and enter yourself for a chance to win LEGO Star Wars buildable figure 75525 Baze Malbus. This iconic character from Rogue One will make a great addition to someone's collection - if the Force is with you, maybe it will be yours!

BZPower shirt-maker extraordinaire Brappy Hour recently kicked off the BZP T-Shirt Contest 2024! You have until the end of May to design a Metru Nui themed shirt and submit it in the blog entry. If your design is picked - you get a free shirt! I'm trying not to think about the fact that we've been making these shirts so long we've now celebrated the tenth and twentieth anniversaries of Metru Nui, but that just goes to show how awesome BZPower's members are. I can't wait to see the designs you all come up with!

You know the saying, 'April showers,' and all that. Well it's a rainy day here and it seems as good of a time as any to remind you that there's only a few days left to enter the 2024 Member Raffle #4! Up for grabs is the LEGO Star Wars buildable figure 75116 Finn from the sequel trilogy. Love it or hate it, the set does have some great uncommon parts for you to get your hands on. Good luck to everyone who enters!

Recently Alexander Pinera over at TheGamer put together a list of 10 Forgotten Lego Games, with three Bionicle titles making the list. Obviously we're a bit biased, but I can't think of any Bionicle fan who's forgotten about the Mata Nui Online Game! While there are certainly some obscure games there, most seem pretty well-known in LEGO circles. Are you aware of all ten? Which on the list is your favorite?

This week we'll be heading over to the BZPower Twitch channel on Wednesday, April 24th for another installment of B6's Block Party. Starting at around 7 PM Eastern we'll be diving back into LEGO Indiana Jones to wrap up The Temple of Doom levels - we completed four of the six last week, so we'll see if we can match that this week and start The Last Crusade as well! Fingers crossed and see you there!

Recently the RepTrak Company released their annual Global RepTrak100 survey, ranking the top one hundred most reputable companies in the world. Surprising no one, The LEGO Group was recognized as the most reputable company in the world for the second consecutive year! Our favorite toy brand has been in the top ten for over a decade now, and has really cemented their spot at the top over these past few years. Hopefully they continue their extensive efforts in sustainability to ensure they can keep bringing joy and imagination to kids and maintain their high reputation for years to come!

This week we're only doing one stream, and it will be on Tuesday, April 16th. Come by the BZPower Twitch channel starting at 7 PM Eastern as we head back to LEGO Indiana Jones, skipping the level that's been giving us trouble and heading into the Temple of Doom! See you all there!

BZPower member That Matoran with a Vahi dropped by the Bionicle Discussion forum recently to share some differences they had noticed between Bionicle comics in the UK and the US. In Bionicle Comic Regional Variations, they're asking everyone how comics in their country were different. I know comics were localized into at least German, French, and Russian, so there's sure to be lots of little changes out there to note!

Hello all! We'll be doing two streams again this week for B6's Block Party! But this time around, it'll be on Monday, April 8th and Thursday, April 11th at 7 PM Eastern. Tomorrow we'll be playing some more LEGO Indiana Jones and later this week we'll be building a new LEGO set. We'll see you all over at the BZPower Twitch channel for fun and shenanigans!
