  1. OMG! Only one more day! I can't wait! BTW, is it OK if our character changes it's appearance (torso, hair/hat, etc.) throughout the story? It would be good for character development! If not, I should rethink my character's design as it would be a little weird if he would go on missions & stuff in his civilian clothes! Would be cool if he would wear a Boba torso! Would that be OK, I mean, does everyone have one? Also, all you guys with no character yet, you better hurry to get that stuff in! Finally starting this game ON!

    Castle Month Caption Contest Poll

    Yeah, the first one was the only one that really made lol!

    Batman '08

    Yeah, me too! But I have to save for the new SW sets. Let's hope we will get a nice little magnet set with her! That would be affordable! BTW, do you know what would be really cool? If there was a set with the Joker that includes a victim of Joker venom featuring a double sided head with one side showing the victim's normal face and the other the Joker-like grin! But I guess that would be to dark fot TLG again. Still, that would be so cool!

    New contests

    I think this has been suggested before, but anyway: Hell yeah, let's do it!

    How do resize decals?

    This is the file I used: I saved it like that, opened it in Word, amd resized it using the handles like you told me to earlier, Hinckley. Now, can you tell me what I should do with it?

    Anime Wars!

    Please, guys, stop that. When I said "post anything related to that topic" I meant anything related to SW cartoons & similar art. I just wanted to make this a fun, out-of-the-ordinary thread about that kind of stuff, not a place to debate if the art of Anime or minifigs in anime style stink or not. No offense, but if you feel the need to talk about that kind of stuff, please do that in another forum! So, let's just try to get along here, OK? Thanks!
  8. Sure, bring it on! BTW, what 10th Anniversery? Also, why is everybody saying "TLG" lately?

    How do resize decals?

    Do you know how to do it in photoshop? How does the resolution have to be?

    How do resize decals?

    Thanks, LuxorV! I have a question, though. When I tried to resize your Han Solo decal using the handles like Hinckley said, and printed it, this is what I got: Do you think your method would make it look less pixely, or is it practically the same? If it Wouldn't, what will?
  11. Well... No. The MCC set would most likely be something like the Hoth Base with nothing to land your vehicle on. But it could still be possible as a room and a $15 ship doesn't really sound like a $100 set to me...

    Post your collection!

    Agreed, since the album thread was only about armies of clones! Would be awesome to see the whole thing!

    Anime Wars!

    Me too, dude, me too! But Gendy Tartakovski's style which is a mix of Anime and "normal" cartoons is very good IMO.

    Post your collection!

    Do you mean The Imperial and Republic Army Album or something else?
  15. I highly doubt the green JSF, although it would be freakin awesome to have one! But Anakin's airspeeder could be possible, though. Maybe this set is even some sort of Cloud City style set with a landing platform for that airspeeder, some corridors, and the Chancellor's office! Would make sense too - the other two choices seem like pretty big sets as well after all! I can already imagine some hidden mechanisms that (like in the Harry Potter Wizard Duel set) catapult the chancellor toward the Jedi, or throw Mace out of the window! And coming to think of it, if the set includes Anakin, and since the description of choice 1 talks about Palpatine's transformation, then maybe it also has a Palpatine fig with a double sided head - one with his normal Chancellor face, and one with his disfigured Emperor face! That would be great!

    Indy Mini movie

    I missed it. Was this in part four? Also, wasn't the director in the Lego Studios line supposed to be Spielberg? Part three is now available on the Cartoon Network website and part four should be there soon as well.

    Build the Chamber: POLL

    WOW! Thank you so much!
  18. Hm... Seeing as all the creator minis this year are mini replicas of actual sets, do you suppose the Bi-Plane will be a big set, too, or is it just something to make it an even number of minis?

    How do resize decals?

    But how do you make sure that it is exactly the right size? (1.2 cm x 1.5 cm, right?)

    A poll to help the poll

    I don't see how there could be any doubt that this set is not like the ISD or Republic Cruiser as it clearly states in the description of the choice what is included in the set: But since this is a thread about opinions rather than facts, here is what I think: It should be this way. Why? A couple of reasons: Price - A whole cruiser would surely cost more than just a room, the usual small hangar stuff, and a starfighter that is only worth about $15 itself. Also, I hate the fact that all the good figs are usually in the most expensive sets! It wouldn't cost as much to get an Ackbar this way. Accuracy - Let's face it: Except for the control room and the hangar we don't know anything about the interior of this cruiser! So, I would rather have TLC concentrate on a detailed and proportionally correct version of these two parts of the ship than a nice looking exterior of the whole thing with tiny versions of them crammed in it and some made-up other parts of the interior (like in the Republic Cruiser ). Parts - What kind of parts would the whole cruiser have? Grey plates patched on a Technic construction and some grey greebs. What kind of parts would a control room and an A-Wing have? All the cool, differently colored parts you can expect to find in such a place/vehicle! I think that we can use monitors, furniture, windows, hinges, etc. much better for our MOCs than grey plates and Technic parts! Swooshability - I don't know if this is an official term, but I know this: A complete model of the Mon Calamari Cruiser would be much harder to swoosh than an A-Wing, possibly harder than the Republic Cruiser even! Opportunity - Getting a new minifig-sized A-Wing would mean quite an opportunity for us! Those who missed out on the last one would have the chance to catch up, and those who already have one or more of them and would be getting this set just for the Ackbar fig could expand their armada! A-Wing armies ON! There you have it! Of course, a complete cruiser would have its benefits, too, but this would make more sense to me! Btw, if we don't get the whole cruiser (or no Calamari set at all), then the chances are even higher that we will get something even better soon: A UCS Mon Calamari Cruiser! Hm... I think I prefer cheese over sweat! But honestly, I don't even care about any of this as Choice 1 is absolutely the way to go for me!

    Build the Chamber: POLL

    WOW! IT ACTUALLY STARTED! And WOW again - thanks for all those who voted for me as the most hillarious! But special thanks go to those who voted for my entry to be the most horrifying - You have made a very wise choive! Well, time to vote! I personnaly think that my entry was pretty funny as well, so I voted for it! Hinckley's entry also seemed to be a good choice for this category, but... it's... just... too... horrifying... (not as a MOC of course ) So that got my vote for the second category, and as for the last one, well, was the one who was thinking outside the box the most for me. Way to go, Big Y! So, there are no prizes then? Except for the fact that this thing is finally over and that we can move on to other great contests, I mean? That's cool, it's enough for me to know that I'm actually funny!

    Monkey Man & Banana Boy in "To Catch A Thief!"

    This is great! creative and funny! Hm... looks like Indy has even conquered the fashion industry now! Yes! Background story On! Also, I can't wait to get to know their archnemesis!
  23. Really? I thought rule 2 says "there aren't any main characters, so dont ask". I'm confused! As for the unlimited timeline, I think it makes no sense. We can say that we are at anytime during the CW (between Ep II & III), but I can't imagine this to be all over the place! Besides, changing the timeline means changing the whole game which would delay its start even further! So, please, let's just stay in the CW, OK?

    where do your MF's live?

    I take all minifigs apart that are not an essential part of a set that I have still built and on display! :skull: I divide them into heads, torsos, legs, and accesories. The torsos and legs go in that big, yellow carton sorting box with different minifigs printed on the sides that was available on S@H last year, while the heads and accessories go into cheap, small, see-through plastic sorting cases. The torsos and legs are sorted by color; the heads by theme and/or kind (classic smiley, city, castle, pirates, aqua, ninjas, license, non-yellow, aliens/creatures); the wigs by kind & gender; and the weapons, tools, and other props by size and theme/era. So, you see I am a very organized person! This might be minifig cruelty, but in the end I now exactly where to get which part of a minifig!

    The Batcave Racer

    Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Wayne Aerospace's latest product: the Cave Racer! It's a high speed hovercraft with no cockpit. Of course, right after it's developement, the company's owner made a special edition of it for himself, turning it into... The Batcave Racer! (aka. the Bat-Caveracer) This new addition to the Dark Knight's vehicles hovers thanks to a new technology that is hidden in it's wings. Acceleration is done by the tuned version of a turbine engine similar to that of the Batmobile's. Hang in there, Batman! With this bad boy, the Bat hopes to catch even the fastest evil-doer on any terrain! "Eat my dust, Joker!" Here it is in Parking Mode... and apparently still running engine. Hey, watch out there, Batsy, you seem to be a little dizzy from the ride! I hope you like it! This is my first cave racer, and I have no clue when, where, or how the idea of the "cave racer" popped up (would be really nice if someone could fill me in there! ), but I like it! And with all those new cave racer MOCs turning up lately, I just had to make one too! So, being in the Batvehicle mocing mood I am in at the moment, I came up with this beauty! IMO, the best thing about it is its name! I know, it doesn't look much like a bat; the overall design was inspired by the batwing, but even though it didn't turn out to look as bat-like as its inspiration, I do like this MOC a lot! What do you think?
