The first Kanohi Vahi *mask of time* has found its way onto eBay™, and the starting price is at $1 and rising by the hour. Bear in mind this mask is due to come onto the market very shortly, for those who wish to see the auction please click on the link » Follow Auction »

It is now reported that the Toa Nuva are not bad guys, they are in fact good!

Furthermore, the images shown on KP a few months ago were taken of extremely old prototypes and revealed by mistake in that retailer catalogue in Europe. Those images were never intended to reach the public, and therefore we all assumed that since these were all so ugly, that they would be "bad".

They are due to be released in August. » Follow BZ Forum Topic »

KP welcomes new staff member Michael, aka "Resident of Mata Nui" - Resident has provided a wonderful coverage of the TRU event hosted on Saturday with many more to come.

On Saturday 16th February 2002 Toys 'R' Us in Times Square, New York, held a Bionicle Bohrok event. Here back in the UK, from my journey to the US, is an exclusive report and pictures.....  

We are currently using no less than 3 web servers to deliver Kanohi-Power to you. Due to the popularity of the site, and improvements that we are polishing (including new features), we are in the process of migrating to a single server with a new hosting company. This is causing some growing pains, as you've no doubt noticed. These server issues continue, and some of the navigation of the site may be temporarily wonky. We apologize for the inconvenience.

We know it's not much, but today I got an e-mail from Sabre over at Lego answering my question what are the Nuva Toa. Well, he said they can't release any information yet but he did call them "Nuva Toa" so we know that currently that is their name. Stay tuned to Kanohi Power for updates.

KP reader Hammer Toa wrote in, to mention that Bionicle.com buzz section now has a page with 5 pictures taken from Toys 'r' Us in Time Square store in New York.

Also on the Times Square event, Kanohi-Power will be the event today with a photo galley of the day and report from fans - more on that soon.

That’s the very question I had when a parcel from LEGO appeared on my doorstep almost a week ago, as a postal van roared down the small country lane. Tucked inside the large cardboard box were bags and bags stuffed with Krana, in the same foil design as the European Masks. Read on to see the Krana Stand. 

KP reader Andrew B. (Black Six) wrote in via the AIM service, Andrew spotted a new promo advertised at his local Zany Brainy in Wayne - New Jersey , On Feb 19th, first 100 LEGO customers at each store get a free Bohrok mini-comic - click for large image

It finally came to me last night after a reader email asking what are the 3 codes inside the Krana are for. Well get all eight krana in the following order and the first word of each one, and it comes as follows

XA	CA	VU	ZA	BO	YO	JA	SU
BMR	IEK	OMA	NMG	ICR	CAG	LPP	EPF

Now what does it spell, BIONICLE of course, now here is an interesting thought can also came with it... what do the other 16 letters make?

KP reader Digitoa on AOL or ZDigiToaIM on BZ has sent us some info about the Kanohi Vahi and an image who has 11 of these wonderful masks. This mask was recently purchase/ or given to our reader in the new Toys 'r' Us in Times Square New York. Now more details will be here soon.

More and more images are flooding my and staff members email programs with links and pictures to the New York toy show in the US. Just one site stand out from the rest that I have seen and we are going to share it with you.

ASM "Altered States Magazine" has also been to the toy show with below the links directly to the Bionicle Pages for quick viewing. Now these images of Cahdrok and Gahdok *Queens below* are very good which shows a snapping action just like the mighty jaws of Muaka & Kane-Ra. Anyway, click on those links and be amazed!

Miscellaneous ~ Bohrok ~ Krana ~ Boxor ~ Exo ~ Queens

There is a discussion about these new kit images over at our sister site BZ Community - click to read topic.

Our friends at FBTB.net have posted pictures of the Bionicle display in the Times Square Toys R Us. FBTB also has posted pictures from Toy Fair 2002, including the Bohrok Swarm, the Exo-Toa, Cahdok and Gahdok and more.

On another note, winners of the "Toy of the Year" have been announced. Lego took first place honors for Bionicle as Boy Toy of the Year, and also scored top honors for Most Innovative Toy of the Year. Lego also took home first place for the Best Activity Toy of the Year for the Lego Harry Potter Hogwart's Castle. (Thanks to KP reader Matt G. for one we'd missed.)

Xtian, our former Kanohi-Power.com admin, has written in with an report on the Nürnberg Toy Fair in Germany. 

That's right. Toys R Us is finally holding another Bionicle promotion. Read on to see what's in store.  

Today on Behind the Mask we look at the Bohrok saga Kopaka.

See what he has in store and possibly the other Toa too. Also find out what happens in Issue two.  

Dave Berkham writes in to point out that there is an Quicktime video for Pahrak up on BIONICLE.com. The small 600k movie shows Pahrak (Stone Bohrok) folding up into a ball and rotates.

Also the winners of the "Bionicle Story Contest" have now been posted to the LEGO Story Contest website, each winner wins a LEGO set of their choice worth up to $50.00.

While browsing Starwars.com, I came across a newspage and image of the forcoming 8012 Supper Battle Droid for the LEGO Star Wars Range. Now you ask, what's this to do with Bionicle.

Well for Bionicle creators there is new Bionicle pieces in this new model but in a different color. For example: Nuhvok Claw in a Medium Blue Color and Toa Feet. Now we can build more Toa and Bohrok in different colors at last.

The Bohrok Va are now available for purchase at Lego Shop at Home in the US, UK, Canada, and most other countries. The Bohrok themselves are currently available online only in North America, and are backordered in Europe and Asia from sometime in February all the way into June for Tahnok. Strangely enough, the only backordered item in the US and Canada are Kanohi packs, which seem readily available everywhere else.
