    Turaga Stand 2

    Earlier in the month when I announced the TRU clearance specials, I mentioned obtaining a bunch of Turaga that were situated on a display. What I failed to mention was that because I purchased all of the Turaga on the display, the manager let me keep it. Obviously the Turaga are old news, but I thought a few readers would enjoy a look at the display. Talk Back in our Forums  Read Full Story

    TRU Rahkshi2 Over the past few weeks many members have been writing in about finding the Rahkshi at TRU. In fact, a good portion of the TRUs in the country now have the Rahkshi. Before today, I was unable to find them myself. So if you are like me and didn't see the Rahkshi in store yet, you can see exactly what a messive supply of Rahkshi look like in the image. They are $8.99 and are probably available right now at your local TRU. Talk Back in our Forums

    Hot Bionicle News Misprint Rahkshi CDs
    [Source: Neo Convoy, Areo Crunch]
    Because the Rahkshi are now hitting store shelves, members have been writing in about an error pertaining to the Lerahk sets in stores. It seems that Lerahk sets that contain CDs actually contain what apprears to be a Kurahk CD. The printing on the CD itself looks like a Kurahk CD, yet the data contained within is the intended Lerahk data. The situation is the same for Kurahk sets with CDs. They have Lerahk prints on them and Kurahk data. If we get more info on the error, we will pass it along. UPDATE: It apprars to be the same situation with Turahk and Panrahk CDs.

    Market News No early S@H deals in Europe; Rahkshi in Australian stores
    [Source: Twin Matrix, Zanda, Hulud Nuva]
    From a couple of reports we've received, it sounds like the early release of Takanuva & co. on LEGO Shop@Home isn't available in Europe. LEGO service representatives have told BZPower members the sets will be on the European S@H website within a few weeks, and the sets themselves will be available in stores in August. On a brighter note, Rahkshi are showing up in Australian stores, including K-Mart and Uncle Pete's. No reports of Kraata on shelves down under yet, though. Talk Back in our Forums

    You read right - the sets originally scheduled for August are available for order now in the US (and possibly elsewhere) through calling LEGO Shop@Home. They're not on the web site yet, so you have to call. Talk Back in our Forums  Read Full Story

    Attendees to the recent Electronics Entertainment Expo (E3) were lucky enough to get CD-ROM teasers for many of the upcoming video game releases, including one for BIONICLE: The Game, due out this fall. The CD contains a lot of interesting images and information, and we'd like to share some of the more intriguing images with you - including the first full look at all seven Toa in game mode.

    Hockey Lewa thumb

    In a surprise move, the Toa of Air today announced he was going in for Hockey rather than the more traditional sport of Koli (or, as it is being revised, Kolhii). After meeting with representatives from the National Hockey League (NHL), Lewa put on his game face and took a few swipes at the puck in Ko-Koro this afternoon. He announced his free agent status shortly afterward and a starting salary of 15 million widgets per year with the Philadelphia Flyers. "I'm keeping my options open," he said. "Philadelphia black and orange: yuck!" Talk Back in our Forums  Read Full Story

    I visted three TRU locations today, and all three had something in common. Many of the LEGO sets in the stores were stickered with a coupon good for $1 off any $5 LEGO purchase. Fortunately, the coupons are easily peeled off, and because it is a manufacturer coupon, you can get the discounted offer at any store that sells LEGO and accepts coupons. The coupon is good until 12/31/03 and cannot be combined with any other offer. To see it, view the full story page. Talk Back in our Forums  Read Full Story

    Readers of BZPower have been lucky enough to be glean the wisdom and experience of Greg Farshtey, one of the LEGO employees involved with the Bionicle storyline. GregF has been generous in his responses and time, which we greatly appreciate. The problem to date, though, has been finding all this great information... so we've created a searchable question/answer database of GregF's answers to questions by BZP members.

    BZPower BZPower's 5th Giveaway: Reliving the Past
    Back when BZPower news was still Kanohi Power, we had our first giveaway. In the first giveaway we gave away Vahi masks. Now that the Vahi has been used in the storyline for the first time, we figured we should give away Vahi masks again. However, it doesn’t stop there. Because the Vahi was used against a silver Krana-Kal we are also giving away a White Metal Krana-Kal. Do you want a Vahi or a White Metal Krana-Kal? Read on. Talk Back in our Forums

    Green Matatu
    Market News Parting with a Matatu
    I've decided to let go of another of my misprints. This time I am selling a Green Matatu on eBay. There is about 1 day left, and the price is only at a little more than $14.00. This is a great chance to own a rare collectable. Furthermore, since a few people have asked, the BZPower card is included in the auction if you request it.

    Rich WMKK 2
    Yes, I am a bit shocked myself. Earlier today, yours truly found a White Metal Krana-Kal in a Levahk-Kal set. Earlier in the year, I became the first person to own a White Metal Krana-Kal when LEGO gave me one of the collectables at Toy Fair. That was very nice of them, but the experience of having one handed to you is entirely different than the thrill of actually finding one. Therefore, this provides me with the perfect opportunity to chronicle the finding of a White Metal Krana-Kal. Talk Back in our Forums  Read Full Story

    We've received two independant reports that all 6 Rahkshi are now available at K Mart locations in Australia. It is possible that this could be a limited release at just some K Mart locations, but that is unlikely. Also, of note, one of the people that claim the Rahkshi are at K Mart in Australia said the Rahkshi he purchased did not come with the CD. Talk Back in our Forums
