Piranha Posted February 3, 2012 The Guardian having the Bat-Lord helmet is not an EE. It is a reuse of a piece. All right I will give you that one, you are now our official vigilant Easter Egg zapper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oky Posted February 3, 2012 Those HP runes and Vic Viper references sure are great! That reminds me: The spaceship in 5981, the Raid VPR, is also a vic viper, and the last three letters of it's name are probably meant to be pronounced "Viper" as a reference to that! The Guardian having the Bat-Lord helmet is not an EE. It is a reuse of a piece. Agreed. If that would count as an easter egg, then TimeCruisers would be Easter-egg-palooza!

Fred Daniel Yam Posted February 3, 2012 Jing Lee's torso does not say Middle Kingdom. The first character is part of the Word for rainbow or fortune and the second one means middle. The middle Kingdom is Chinese for China. Don't argue with me, I'm Chinese. Another EE is the Falcon Knight in both Durmstrang Ship and Medieval Joust.

JackJonespaw Posted February 3, 2012 The CMF White and Pink Spacepeople have Classic Space emblems. (Probably, a remake, but who knows?) and the Black Space Villain has a Blacktron emblem. Also, each Atlantis red ship has the set number at least once somewhere on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rick Posted February 3, 2012 That reminds me: All City vehicles' license plate numbers are the respective set numbers. And have the designer's initials (at least in some cases). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGOman273 Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) The letters on the keypad are: L E G O J E N S Jens is a SW set designer. And have the designer's initials (at least in some cases). The license plate of the black car: Says "Zumbi" A designers nickname, perhaps? Edited February 3, 2012 by Legoman273 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, each Atlantis red ship has the set number at least once somewhere on it. I don't think that's an Easter Egg. City vehicles(as mentioned) and trains and I'm sure others I'm sure, have their set numbers on them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomRoid Posted February 4, 2012 The Toy Story Train has its set number on it, maybe resembling how the train in the actual movie has 1995, the original year of the first movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oky Posted February 4, 2012 I'm pretty sure the following count as Easter eggs too: 3221 LEGO Truck includes stickered blue boxes which resemble the Lego set boxes of 7236, 7942, and 3221 itself. The 7848 Toys R Us Truck also has some which resemble 7942 and 7235. Similarly, the Scala set 3142 Marie's Room included a stickered tile which represented the Lego Island videogame CD-ROM case.

Blondie-Wan Posted February 6, 2012 Still waiting for someone to mention this one. Holy smokes, that's awesome! I need this set even more now. If only those had been printed bricks and not stickers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piranha Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) A very nice Easter egg in a LEGO set, and probably my "favourite" so far, is the stickers in 7066 Earth Defense HQ featuring a viper symbol and "Nnenn". Here is an image from EB Member "Final Exit" from his review of 7066 Earth Defense HQ showing an up close view of that particular Easter Egg. I have to agree that is not only a great Easter Egg but a touching tribute by TLG and the set designers. Edited February 7, 2012 by Macoco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow! I never noticed that before. It's nice to see TLG caring about it's fans and honoring them even though they're no longer with us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yellost Posted February 8, 2012 I met those two, while running around in LEGO Star Wars II a few years ago. I was so surprised I took a screenshot straight away and then left them lying on my hard drive. Never thought I'd get a use for them ^^ I feel humbled by that Nnenn stickers. those guys are really great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piranha Posted February 8, 2012 Now that I think about it, if we go into digital media by LEGO and look for Easter Eggs, I already know of so many. But the set Easter Eggs I think are much more fun to find. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oky Posted February 16, 2012 In the Super Heroes set 6868 Hulk's Helicarrier Breakout, one of the computer screens is displaying the arcade game Space Invaders, which is funny because the movie the set is based on revolves around an alien invasion. The same set also includes barrels with the Octan color scheme. Coincidence? Unlikely. While this may be common place in non-licensed Lego sets, I'm pretty sure it counts as an easter egg in licensed sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Octan one definitely counts, I think that is the first reference in a licensed set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oky Posted February 17, 2012 I think that is the first reference in a licensed set. I think so too. The LotR Mines of Moria set has runes over the door, but they really spell anything. They do or they don't? If they don't, why did you mention it? By the way, that reminds me that the runes on the shield on the Heroica dice spell "Heroica" three times. Not sure if that counts as an easter egg, but it's a fun fact nonetheless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I DON'T know why I forgot that. 1x2x5 bricks in the Egypt Adventurers sets have Heiroglyphs on them that spell out the names of ancient Egyption gods.
