What a journey! Fabulous video, I'm thrilled to finally see a 1998 Danish print ad that confirms the original names matched up with LEGO Media's early publications. The snapshot of Palomar's bio was a nice surprise too - wild to see it laid out plainly that von barron was the art collector, and using his original name at that. Happily adopting the idea that von barron is a descendant of the batlord line into my moccanon, too. fits nicely with their vibes as well as the plaque in the haunted mansion set!

merry christmas https://emilyinternet.zone/realms/ogel/buster/ Everything is now live, and the Tim Timeloop is now complete. I also wrote an in-depth piece on the history of Time Cruisers and this comic. Thanks again to TalonCard and jamesster for making this possible :)

Its been a couple months, so here's a quick status update. Everything is scanned, and I've translated/completed 1996. Along the way it really hit me how long in the tooth my old work is looking now, though... so I've rescanned all the 1995 Klick issues, plus the 1997 run that is in the new lot. I've re-done all of 1995 already and am making my way through '97. I'm gonna be cleaning up the rest (though they'll still be based on Dark Turtle and Hallfiry's original scans), then refreshing the website to make the reading experience nicer. Obviously this is adding some time until this is done, but I hope it'll be worth the wait for everyone. Here's some comparison shots to give a sense of the level of visual improvement: (New left, old right) (Old left, new right)

Ooh nice! Excited to see what else you have in store. The early BnP issues are so fun, there very personable in a way modern branding doesn't really allow, lol.

I've got the magazines in my possession now - thanks to @TalonCard and @jamesster for giving me the heads up and making this possible. Scanlations are on the way, though it may be a month or two as it looks like I'm going to need to replace my scanner. I can at least confirm this lot does indeed contain everything we were missing, short of the zapper version of the intro they would've used when introing the comic to new regions 1998 onward. I'm excited for the full continuity loop to finally be readable without any gaps!! Finally, the full story of Tim.

Wow, thanks so much for sharing this! I'm curious what issues of Klick these were in, I guess maybe they were printing some different comics in France than they were in Germany, neat. Would it be okay if I translated this into English and posted it on my Time Cruisers page? I would of course link to your gallery and credit you for the scans.

December 17 1996 - user "JohnKelly" claimed that Lego had names for all the minifigures in space at that time, as well as the other themes. He only remembered the red haired ice planet astronaut was Major Urusa: I wondered at the time I discovered this if this may have been a typo and the name was actually Major Ursa, since that'd be an obvious pun on Ursa Major. It wouldn't be the only typo in that post.

While web browsers are going to increasingly block flash content, it will still be possible to download the games and play them offline if you've got flash installed. At Biomedia Project we were also looking into the possibility of building an html wrapper that would allow the games to still be played in a browser, but it'd be a big undertaking, so I'm not sure if/when that idea will come to fruition.

looking forward to this. the preview art they posted is pretty and definitely has that old catalog vibe

In addition to the Faber thing making absolutely no sense, the fact that they werent able to think of anything original and instead had to rely on claiming lego was trying to reboot old themes they like makes it pretty clear this is bull. We still dont know for sure whats up with Leaf, though...

I don't have any scans on hand of whatever's being referred to though/don't have time at the moment to go digging around for it. im the friend! here's what i was referring to. I would also note that that 94 Bricks and Pieces doesnt seem to expressly refer to the ironhook fig as roger - roger is the pirate they're talking about in the text but they dont expressly say hes the one pictured on the page. that's definitely an instance where there could have been miscommunication between the writer and the person handling page art/layout. It makes sense ironhook would be in the art since he features in the islanders sets, but roger is in the commercial so the writer may have been working off of that (or related materials). ive had minifig names on the mind lately so in case it is of interest, here's my table for pirate names by region. the ones in red are comic-only (no minifig).

Today i spotted these uploads from a little earlier in the year - a collection of shopvideos that were made to run on a loop in stores to advertise sets. The first one is an outlier, seeming to be more of a retailer-oriented sell tape. Add to these a couple more videos that were already floating around, and we've got a good collection of these going! These're an interesting look into how lego was branding itself back then.

Hey, if you dont mind me asking, is this the fig you're referring to as Don Diego? I haven't seen him listed under that name before anywhere and im curious to know where you got the name from! Edit: oh it looks like its from Soccer Mania!! Nevermind

Because of how Brickset works you can do this with literally anything. Definitive proof?!?!

geez, he's a giant!

Possibly, I don't know much about how this site works in that regard. As another option, you might be able to put the photos on a separate image hosting site, like Imgur, and then just post a link to them here.

Ah, that's too bad! Thank you for trying all the same, I appreciate it. Good luck finding issue 34! If I'm ever lucky enough to come across it, I will let you know.

I really love these models. Great parts usage, but also just a really clever and striking juxtaposition of themes and rad use of the post itself to suggest a narrative.

I don't have 34, but if It'd be helpful to you, I do have a couple earlier issues I have scanned here. There are a couple other issues on brickshelf beyond those as well, uploaded by some other people - you should be able to find them by just running a search for 'Adventures Magazine.' Do you/your son still have your copies of the magazine? There were a few Bionicle comics that I know appeared in them that I'm really eager to see, but I've never been able to track down the issues that have them. If you'd be able to get pictures of those comics, I'd be over the moon.

Fake as it is, would you mind relaying the name? I'm curious.

Thanks for this! It'll be much easier to revisit these now.

From the main Star Wars thread - 2018 stuff, I presume: And just so there isn't any doubt:

At least in the US, all the episodes are available for viewing on the Elves website. Just go to videos, click through to the year you want and scroll down to "minimovies."

Did we have the prices for the last jedi sets before? LEGO Star Wars 75526 - €19.99 - (£14.99, $19.99) LEGO Star Wars 75528 - €24.99 - (£19.99, $24.99) LEGO Star Wars 75529 - €24.99 - (£19.99, $24.99) LEGO Star Wars 75530 - €34.99 - (£29.99, $34.99) Looks like we have another larger model to look forward to.

This is just idle speculation, but whenever I've been to the Lego aisle at different stores the shelves always seem packed with unsold Star Wars figures and I wouldn't be surprised if they've cut down the number of sets they are launching to better match demand.
