Set News

A few pieces of news today --

1) I finally got a look at a pic of Mazeka today -- looks from the photo like he's an Onu-Matoran.

2) The Jan. 2009 sets are in our showroom now. Gotta say, very impressive. The new mask pieces are particularly cool shapes and the weaponry is slick too. On the whole, they manage to stay recognizably BIONICLE while still looking nicely different from past sets. I think the new pieces will probably be good for those who like to MOC, too. I will tell you up front, having only seen pics up to now, the pics do not do the sets justice. They are much more striking in person.

I am definitely inspired to do a Club building contest once those come out, to see what fans will build out of them.

3) 2010 story conference next week, so we can clear the decks and I can get moving on the screen treatment for 2010 movie.

4) I am going to be signing up for something on the Scholastic site where teachers and librarians can find authors to come speak at their schools/libraries. Not sure it will produce anything, but at least it will put me out there for folks who might want to do a BIONICLE event as they did in Coventry. So maybe there will be more school/library appearances in the Northeast in future, we'll see.
