Okay, if you win the 2023 Member Raffle #5 you're not actually winning a trip anywhere, sorry. But you can use your imagination and the LEGO Star Wars Buildable Figure 75523 Scarif Stormtrooper to pretend you're on the gorgeous paradise world of Scarif as seen in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. There's only a few more days left to enter, so good luck!

It's time to adventure with dinosaurs again! Today's Tuesday, which means that starting at 7:30 PM Eastern (or a little before) we'll be over on the BZPower Twitch channel playing more LEGO Jurassic World. We've collected all of the red bricks and now it's time to go through the levels finding minikits and amber bricks and collecting all the studs (we need sixty-five million)! Hope to see you there!

It's that time of year, the time all the Bionicle and Constraction builders on the Internet look forward to: the Bio-Cup! As has become tradition, BZPower will be donating a bevy of prizes which will hopefully be announced soon. And of course I'm sure many of our members will be entering their builds in the preliminary round, which is underway! Best of luck to everyone, and I'm sure you'll be seeing some of the amazing creations in our monthly MOC recaps and all over social media. Get building!

We're long past due for another LEGO live stream, so let's build 75335 BD-1 from Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor! Come by the BZPower Twitch Channel starting at 1 PM Eastern tomorrow, May 20th, to watch, chat, and hopefully win some prizes!

Earlier this month The Economist shared some insights into the efforts The LEGO Group is making to win over the Chinese market. In the article, titled "Lego, the world's top toymaker, focuses on China," they cover the things many LEGO fans are familiar with - like Monkie Kid and the Lunar New Year sets - but also discuss the continuing fight the company is having with competitors that range from direct copies of LEGO sets to real-life Chinese military vehicles made out of bricks. They also dropped the staggering stats that last year TLG opened 95 stores in China and plans on opening another 80 this year. It seems like there's no shortage of love for the brick in one of the biggest markets in the world.

Hooray, it's Tuesday again! Join us over at the BZPower Twitch channel as we head out to Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna to play some more LEGO Jurassic World. We'll be live by 7:30 PM Eastern (probably a little earlier than that) to work on finding all of the red bricks and other collectibles in the open world. See you there!

If you missed out on the Bionicle Gift With Purchase set earlier this year and wanted to build a Tahu of your own, then you're in luck! Jay's Brick Blog shared on Twitter that the two printed pieces from the set - Tahu and Takua's masks - had shown up on LEGO Pick A Brick for people to buy individually. Unfortunately it looks like Takua's Pakari has sold out, but you can still pick up PLATE, W/ BOW 2X2X2/3, NO. 69 aka Tahu's Hau while supplies last!
