The new year is sneaking up on us, so it's time to kick off the 2024 Convention Circuit! We've added two brand new events this year, and so far the plan is to attend Atlanta Brick Con, BrickFair Fredericksburg, Bricks Cascade, BrickFair Chantilly, and BrickSlopes. We're hoping some others like Brickworld and Bricks in the Six might work out as well. If you want your MOCs at Atlanta Brick Con, we need them by February 3rd, so get building! In return, we have some great perks, including a custom socketball mask for everyone who participates!

Happy Tuesday! Come on by the BZPower Twitch channel starting around 7:30 PM Eastern to watch us play some more LEGO 2K Drive. We hit a bit of a stumbling block last week, so hopefully things go smoother this time around and we get close to winning the big grand prix in the sky!

I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving if you're in the part of the world that celebrates it. As we wind down November, instead of spending money on Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, why don't you enter the 2023 Member Raffle #11? You could win the LEGO Star Wars buildable figure 75530 Chewbacca and not pay anything at all. It's scientifically proven than 100% off is the best possible discount, so good luck to everyone!

After a break last week we're heading back into LEGO 2K Drive! Swing by the BZPower Twitch channel starting around 7:30 PM Eastern as we race our way through the various worlds and try to makes it to the ultimate grand prix!

Now that Bricklink is back online, they have announced the five Series Three finalists for the Bricklink Designer Program. The models themselves still need to be refined for production, so crowdfunding won't start until October 2024. That gives you plenty of time to drool over the Harbormaster's Office, The Art of Chocolate, Forest Stronghold, Camping Adventure, and Lost City, and decide which, if any, you're going to support.

This video came out earlier this year, but I missed it until just recently. The music video for the I Fight Dragons song, "Oh The Places You'll Go," is done entirely in stop motion and features some heavily modified Bionicle MOCs. If you're a purist, you probably want to avoid it, but it's a very well-done stop-motion movie that tells a story to go along with the song. Give it a watch!

Due to some schedule conflicts, we won't be streaming tonight. We'll be back next week with some more LEGO 2K Drive!

After a break last week for Halloween, we're back tonight for another installment of LEGO 2K Drive! Swing by the BZPower Twitch channel starting around 7:30 PM Eastern to watch us take on some new races now that we've reached A-class. It should be a blast!

Yesterday DuckBricks dropped a two-and-a-half hour video of his trip to Denmark to meet Christian Faber and go through a warehouse's worth of Bionicle and other LEGO memorabilia. There's some crazy stuff there, and apparently there will be more videos and coverage to come. This sounds like an amazing opportunity, and I'm glad he's been able to capture and share it with the community!

November brings with it a new monthly raffle for all BZPower members. Speed over to enter the 2023 Member Raffle #11 for a chance to win LEGO Star Wars buildable figure 75530 Chewbacca. Best of luck to everyone who throws their name in the hat!

Earlier today BZPower Member Mushy the Mushroom shared updated instructions for her plush Macku and Hewkii dolls over in General Art. We gave away one set she generously donated to a lucky member earlier this year, and I can tell you from having held them that they're even more adorable in person than in the photos. If you're good with a sewing machine and a needle and thread, or know someone you can kindly convince, your life would be better off with these cure plushies. We may have some more to give away in the future as well, so keep your eyes peeled right here!
