  1. Green Pea Toys used to sell a custom Witch King and also a Sauron, but it looks like they've shut down all their sites. Maybe Lego shut them down or something? I'd like to know if anyone knows if these customs are still available somewhere online.
  2. Thanks! That helps a bunch considering Dwalin's beard has a similar shape to Gimli's, where it covers the head.
  3. Hey I was wondering if anyone knows, or can test, if Vitruvious' hair piece fits with dwarven beard pieces similar to Gimli's from the Lord of the Rings line. Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, I just figured people with The Lego Movie sets might have the best knowledge of this. Thanks!
  4. Two thumbs way way up for these customs. Especially the Haradrim! I hope to see more from you in the future.
  5. First Lego Animation done! On to the next one...

  6. Thanks Hrafnblod & loyalroyal for the generous comments! Here's a list of software/camera used to make the film... Camera - Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 Image Shooting - Dragonframe 3.5 Compositing - After Effects CS5 Audio Recording - Quicktime Audio Editing - Soundbooth CS5
  7. Hey everyone! I'm really excited to share my very first Lego stop motion animation with you. I spent about 2 weeks on the project as a whole, and I must say it was a lot harder than I expected. This first animation is only 12 fps, but I'm hoping to bump it up to 24 fps next time around. Any and all feedback would be great!
  8. Looks awesome! Now I have a bit more confidence when it comes to painting my own pieces. I wonder if there's a sealer or something that could be sprayed on to harden the rubber, almost give it a plastic finish so it loses it's flexibility. I'll have to investigate this.
  9. Hey everyone, I'm new to the minifig customizing, and I was wondering if anyone has had success painting rubber pieces? For example, painting Arwen's hair from Lego's LOTR line. I'm thinking of using acrylic based paints and then sealing them with a semigloss. I'm just unsure if it will work. or crack, or whatever. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
  10. Sorry, I guess I should have shared the details of my thoughts a bit more. If Lego were to design a more aggressive boar model and throw some metal plating on it's head, we could have 2 different paint variations. One could be a brown boar with steel painted head plating (armor-like), and the other version could be a blueish boar with tan painted head plating to resemble the beasts pulling Grond. I don't believe a more "natural" looking boar would be quite as menacing or have as much of a cool factor. Of course this all depends on what Weta's boar ends up looking like, if the boar is plain Jane, my idea is kaput! Just my thoughts, not trying to start a forum ruckus!
  11. If the Lego designers are as clever as I think they are, they could come up with a boar figure that can be used to pull Grond for a LOTR Minas Tirith set, and also for Dain to ride in a TABA Hobbit set. Two boars for Minas Tirith, one for Dain. Maybe then a custom mould wouldn't be a waste.
  12. Working diligently on Bring More Popcorn Production's first Lego stop motion animation!

  13. The beacon is really cool and would be great to have, I think some of us just feel as though it's out of place with the front gates. Now if it came in a smaller set, maybe with the white tree of Gondor, it would be more fitting. Possibly have one of the guards of the tree and Pippin in that set, I think it would be a top seller. It would also offer up a minifig slot for this current gate design, swap Pippin for another soldier or something.
  14. That's still a LOAD of money to obtain a massive collection like that, but I guess in countries outside the US it would be astronomical!Deathleech, I'm super jealous by the way...
  15. Great start to what could be an outstanding set! I think the addition of some more light stone grey bricks mixed in there with the white bricks would be good though. An almost pure white Minas Tirith just looks too clean to me. I also think that the beacon should be replaced by something behind the gates, maybe an armory, or the infamous rat catcher shop? I just think the beacon feels weird alongside the gate, considering it's meant to be the highest point of Minas Tirith. I would also love a strict army builder set that could be used to extend the surrounding wall. I'd imagine it to be an orc siege tower, a Minas Tirith wall extension, 3 orcs & 2 Gondorians. If it's possible to keep the brick count low enough, a $40-$50 price point I think would be perfect. Anyways, keep the good ideas coming! This has definitely got me thinking.
