BIONICLE Expert. Schrödinger's Lewa. I was in a video on the LEGO channel once, and got called a Minecraft super-fan by Mojang. My opinions only represent myself. Logo by Xeros610.
This is gonna sound like an odd question, but does anyone know what the oldest NINJAGO video on YouTube is? I have some guesses, but I'm not entirely sure how to check.
And I mean anything talking about or covering NINJAGO, not just official media.

My heart is heavy. This really hurts. I met my friend Drew at the 2002 launch event of "Galidor" in NY. He brought our series poster to breathtaking life. He treated me like a prince, gave wisdom, stories & I was fortunate enough to know him ever since. His talent was magic & I will miss him dearly.

Me and fellow content creator @xezzame.bsky.social wanted to see how the original Toa Mata from #Bionicle would look as Spartans from #Halo. So we created these!

It's been a while since I shared a #MOC, but I had the opportunity to build this personal model for our EXO-FORCE COLLAB at Skærbæk Fan Weekend with a lot of other LEGO Designers!
I got to work on reimagining the Blade Titan, which was one of the Exo Force sets I had as a kid

Frak! I'm really happy with how I did his outfit, I couldn't decide whether to do his part 1 or 2 fit so I went with both. Personally I like how it sort of symbolizes him breaking out of the standard ninja gi into something that fits his personality more (tacticool).

I had an amazing time at brickfair 2025. Meeting longtime friends, fans, and people who actually cared about me was an unforgettable experience. What a wonderful event this was. For the first time in a long while, there’s a light in the darkness. Thank you to everyone involved, you made it special 🧡

My friends and I are working on another BIONICLE project, but we need some help! We're looking for voice actors! Check out the project casting call here:

(I do not know why the preview looks so goofy and suspicious, I swear it doesn't actually look like that.)

I did the very first sketch for what became the #Ninjago Ras and Arin’s Super Storm Jet, it changed a lot. It was originally going to be more of a team vehicle with some command space inside and a mech that was dropped off the back. I lost the mech sadly, but it was a fun style exploration.

The Ninjago map has finally been printed!!! It measures 24"x32", printed on canvas. I've been wanting to do this forever since my prototype map was destroyed by my ceiling fan...
Anyway, I've added it to the form, so if you're interested, here's the link:https://forms.gle/PgwLQLboVEoVVDUD7

I’ll talk a bit about my involvement with the #Ninjago Legends: Monstrosity sets. I worked on the Fire Knight mech. Initially, it was gonna be Jay’s. I started off exploring a Ninjago mech with more of a knight aesthetic. I did a bunch of these sketches before I started building.

Here’s a look at the very first sketch model, for what became the Nya Samurai X Mech for #Ninjago Crystalized. It was way too big and ended up being switched to Nya’s mech as the writers continued to work on the story. It explored the limits of the new hip/shoulder joint we made.

Well, this freaking sucks.

In the annals of history, our most beloved, most cherished characters sometimes find their way back to us, a way to live again after their final curtain call...I may not be either of those things, but I am impossibly overwhelmed with happiness to know the #Galidor curtain didn't close all the way.
