Oh! I'm sorry! didn't see that when I searched for something like this. Stupid EB Search! But My topic is better - it's got a link to a part of the mini-movie!

I just received an email from S@H about the new Indy sets and UCS GG being available now, and in the corner there was a little ad that states that there will be a CG animated LEGO Indiana Jones mini-movie called "Raiders of the Lost Brick" airing on Cartoon Network on May 10th at 9 pm! It consists of 4 parts and you can check out the first part HERE!

Oh, I get it! It's from the new casting show "Castle Idol"! Nice! LOL! Yeah, that is really silly! In fact, it sounds like something from Monthy Python or something! Silly detours On!

SAY WHAAAT?! OMG, I didn't know it would come out this early; I thought it would be out around Christmas or something, as it was not even shown at Toy Fair or anything! This is jaw-droppingly awesome - I don't care how much it is, I have to have it! - but I am not ready for it yet! I am broke at the moment, and there are still BPs and Castle & Indy sets to be bought! So, nothing to do but to wait... Maybe I'll even wait fo the price to drop...

That's great Batbrick! (Bat)Brickfilms On! Yeah, I'm thinking of getting into this stuff again, too, but right now I'm too busy with college. Besides, I go to the Art Institute where I am majoring in Media Arts & Animation, so I am doing enough animation at the moment! But maybe in summer break... You can see my work at the link provided in my sig. As for software, I would have a couple of suggestions. As a video editing software, I would definitely use Ulead Video Studio! It's easy to use and features many cool effects! For a stop motion software there are many options. One would be Monkey Jam. It's the one we use at school and it's alright. Another thing would be Claymation Studio. I just got it and haven't worked with it yet, but I think it's pretty good. Also, there is some simple, but effective, stop motion software available for free download online, like SM Animator for example. I don't know about cameras, though. I think anyone with a reasonable quality will do. I used to use Vision Command because You could always build it onto the baseplate you were shooting, but the quality was pretty bad. Today I would probably use my new, better webcam. I would recommend using a webcam because it connects to the computer and you can see how it looks on the monitor right away, but what you use is totally up to you! So, get out there and animate them LEGOs! And if there is any prievious work of yours that you would like to show us, please do! Good luck!

Idk, I only have Vader Transformation and Slave 1. Both are great part packs and have some nice minifigs! But Tacitus is right in saying that the new one is probably better, although I don't own it and can't completely confirm that. I think it's also about what color scheme which minifigs you like better. Judging from images, I would say the Jedi Starfighter wasn't that great, but the Lightsaber Duel seems to have some interesting parts to offer.

Dang! I didn't know all of them are leaving us either! That means that all the cool admins are gone - the only ones we have left are a "Whacky" Walrus aka. Sinner and Mr. Insanity aka. Hinckley! THE END OF EUROBRICKS IS NEAR! Hehe! Just kidding! But that's an interesting scenario you got there, goggleson! That river of lava that seperates the two parties makes it seem very dramatic!

That's a tough one, james! I am in the same situation as you, and I decided to do what JimButcher said, because although I am absolutely against buying any more of those droids with the old arms and no real weapons , I really need some SBDs! Also, the BP come with those neat new STAPs! But then again, darkrebelion is right: In the MTT you get different ranks of standard droids and a destroyer! So, it would be best to get some of both, especially if you can get the MTT for less! Btw, why would you wait until next month to get the MTT? Is that when they go on sale? If not, can someone please tell us when? Thanks!

Cool! Can't wait to see it!

Unfortunately, no, I don't have any of those! They are really neat, but also really expensive! Especially having a double bladed Maul one would be awesome, even though I can imagine it to be very long, but I rather spend that kind of money on SW Legos!

Yes, the Avatar heads work very well and I knew there would be a good way to use that sexy Catwoman jump suit! Also, the heads will come in very handy by the time the new animated show comes out and we start making custom secondary characters!

Nice! I was just waiting for you to make use of the fact that your sigfig is called the Dark Knight and create something wothy of that title! It was worth the wait! It's simple, but effective, and you got some nice word play going on there with "Croc" and "Orc"! Well, I'm tired and am going to bed. Dark Knighty Night everybody!

YAY! Another "maybe"! I just hope they all turn into "definitely"s or we can kiss this awesome game goodbye! So, come on, guys, join! It'll be fun! You'll be cool! Everybody's doing it! Btw, JimButcher, You should really have a better ad/link for this game in your sig! You can use my poster that I provided the lnk for above!

I was at the lego retail store in Downtown Disney today and there were no new indy sets , BUT the shelf with the indy sets is now twice as long, and there was a guy from the store's staff who was assembling the Temple set for display purposes! So, that means they are awaiting them! I'll be sure to check in next week!

Did you know that there is going to be another sequel to "The Mummy"? Well, it is, and it looks like it's gonna be in the style of the LEGO Adventure line "Orient Expedition! It's called "Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" and is scheduled to be released on the first of August! Also, it appears that Jet Li will be playing the bad guy this time! Check out all the details and some pics @IMDB! It's very interesting how the creators of these movies seem to follow the storyline of the Legos, isn't it? I mean, first Egypt, then Jungle, and then the East! Anyway, being a big fan of Jet Li and this great series of adventure movies, I am pretty excited, even though the "The Mummy Returns" wasn't that good (but it had a sweet airship! ). What do you think about this?

Hey, shouldn't the MTT go on sale soon? I mean, Yoda's review of the set was done almost a year ago, and isn't that when sets go on sale, 1 year later? However, I am dealing with kinda the same issue as James, and I like your suggestion, Jim, but right now I don't have much money, so I'll get some clones now maybe, and as soon as the MTT goes on sale, I'll grab that one too. There is only one thing that bothers me (a lot): The MTT doesn't have any Super Battle Droids! I got one of them in the Hailfire droid set, and they are so cool! Also, if you want to make a decent CW scene, you need them, cause they were used a lot - just look at the cartoon show or the trailers of the upcoming movie... There were HORDES of them! But I refuse spending 10 bucks on a BP that only has 3 of them and none of the new weapons (leave alone droids that are able to hold them! )! Sigh! Oh well, nothing to do but to stick to my plan mentioned earlier and hope that there will be some other opportunity to get some of those someday. Perhaps in the franchise for the upcoming animated series? You know, I am really hoping for a BP duo for next year with one including Phase 1 clones (like in the upcoming sets) and the other one including BDs (like those from the MTT + weapons of course) and some Supers again! That would be awesome, but that's a different story... So, I would advise you to do the same, James! Now, does anyone know when the MTT will go on sale?

Thanks MacK! Alright, for whoever wants to use my super cool poster to attract more players and thereby make this awesome game possible, here is the URL: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2250/244184...245a88bee_o.jpg

Wow, Cartoondude, that's amazing! Thanks for that inside scoop! I am even more excited now! How did you get to be on the set you lucky bastard? Do you work in the film industry or something?

Hey, guys, I updated my character profile: So, what do you think? Anyway, I hope that a couple more people join now before the deadline comes around! I would really like to see this game happening! CW & Comic game ON!

ATTACK OF THE TIE ARMY! OH NO! The mad scientist has unleashed an army of evil ties upon the world! Marching through the streets, they destroy anything in their path! :sing: Comic Mad Scientist: "Yes! It's working! My momy always wanted me to wear ties, but I HATED them! Now I can make everybody else wear ties! MUAHAHAHAHA!" OH NO! Looks like the Bad Kid (from Oky Wan's chamber contest entry ) was too slow! Bad Kid: "Help me, guys! I don't wanna wear ties! they make me look boring!" Oky Wan (with his cool sunglasses on ): "Don't worry, Bad Kid! I'll save you - by whacking those stupid robo-ties!" *WHACK!* Mad Scientist: "NO! Whacking - my robo-ties' only weakness - how did you know?!" Oky Wan: "Come on, everybody, let's tip the tie control tower! 1...2...3... HO!" Mad Scientist: "Hey! what are you doing, you fools?! NOOOoooo!" *CRASH!* And they whacked him happily ever after! :laugh: Well, this was something I threw together little quick just for fun! Hope you liked it! I also hope you can forgive me, , for making fun of your game!

ME LIKE! Yes, I was thinking of making some midieval (or "castlized") SW MOCs myself! I say we should all do that and create a new theme: CASTLE WARS! It's like steam wars, but during the castle era!

Thanks Guys! it's working now! Well, I've been thinking about this and I think it will be tough to play as seperatists since the army consists only of droids. But there are some planets of course that help the seperatists, like the Geonosians or the Bankers Clan, and also some occasionally hired bounty hunters. Now that sounds plausible! In fact, ALL the good guys in this game will probably be something like that since the "the Clone Army" as you call it was comprised of only... well... clones! Except for JimButcher - He will be just "Batjedi", the Dark Jedi Knight! LOL, just kiddin'!

My opinion exactly!

OK, so I've been researching a bit now, and I think it might be good to set this game at a certain point during the Clone Wars. The war went from 22 BBY to 19 BBY, and I would suggest that we set our game around 20 BBY as this was in the middle of the war and because this was the time where the clones started switching from Phase 1 to Phase 2 armor, which means that both types of clones can be used in the game and that players who only own one type of clone trooper are not left out! (Most of us, I bet, only have Phase 2 guys, though, thanks to the BPs! ) So, what do you say? PS: I would like to link the image below to this topic, but I don't know how to assign a link to an image. Can somebody please tell me how? Btw, what do you think of that ad?

I would say, too, that the republic's bases are usually mobile (star destroyers), but it will definitely be interesting seeing you design a solid one! As for ideas, I agree with SWMAN and the things he listed! Also, a bathroom would be a nice (and funny) thing to add! Perhaps right next to the cantina! Btw, for the cantina, you can take reference from Dextrer's Diner and that place Anakin and Padme eat in in Episode 2 (with the multi-arm droid food server who sends R2 away) and the Mos Eisley Cantina of course!
