Whoah! This looks bonkers, in a good way! I guess the rooms (at least one) should be related to the mill function. I am curious to see more of the 'Windlands'

Your FP fooled me too, I thought your creation was much larger! Nice artifacts on either side, those (holocron?) archives looks absolutely fantastic, very complicated and high tech look, love it

Have a great time on Eurobricks. Happy building (together)

Welcome to the most 'bricking' cool corner of the internet, Joe!

Welcome to Eurobricks! Well, good luck with that

Have fun on Eurobricks, Marco!

Welcome aboard

Welcome to Eurobricks Joost! Enjoy your time here Please mind your punctuation when posting.

That Lost Temple set sounds quite interesting, especially when keeping in mind everything will be printed! If the Snake Showdown and the Lost Temple are indeed Ninjago sets, what kind of variants would they include? Still praying for some Elemental Masters...

Nice little hill, the complete absence of studs is perfect for short grass

I really like the interior; nice, smooth and detailed

Greetings Terrowin! Nice introduction build, necromancy fits in perfectly well in the Nocturnian Guild!

All three are just brilliant!

Though I have read the explanation, do you still dare to call this 'human'? Just too OP to be a believeable character, imo. Also I think the head is inappropriate for GoH. Btw, Onicius will be a very strong wizard, but the difference is that he is specialized in one type of magic with many applications, not a kind of super human.

Wow! The forced perspective is especially well done!

Sounds like a fun challenge, would be my first GoH challenge too. I'm looking forward to the entries!

First of all, I am just very happy to see something physical of Lego Universe , thanks for that Dorayaki! Isn't it ironic: the LU trailer back then said "Answer the call!", so we did and we entered a wonderful realm. Nowadays, TLG purchases licenses of shows, movies and games which are just unknown (to a certain extent) to most of today's children, like Back to the Future, Ghost Busters, Doctor Who, Big Bang theory, Wizard of Oz and Portal. After the fall of LU, we have been the ones to call out, yet our call hasn't been answered! Why can't we have LU characters? There are differences between the target audiences of the aforementioned licensed themes and the LU one. Those licences are running on nostalgia, a great advantage is that they also appeal to a non-FOL public, which indirectly leads to more AFOLs. However, if you haven't seen the movie/show or haven't played the game, the sets are quite unappealing. That is certainly not the case with the bulk of the LU characters. LU minifigs won't bring in many new AFOLs, but they will undoubtedly appeal to children. Adding those children to the (desperate) LU fanbase, we can conclude: Target audience: no problem! The fanbase isn't satisfied with similar characters, we need the real deal, right? Producing characters that already exist in digital Lego form, proven to be much-loved by a sufficiently large target audience, how hard could that be? Well, the sheer amount of 'new' molds is the biggest obstacle. 'New', because all the ones that we want, again, already exist in digital form. Admittedly, a lot of them will probably require some adjustments to reach TLG's standards, but still: it's cheaper than designing something from scratch I suppose. Those highly detailed molds will be more expensive than the average detailed 'accessory' mold, judging from the marketing of complicated, detailed molds in the CMF line, Ninjago and Ultra Agents theme, this won't be much of a problem. Production at an acceptable price: no problem! Speaking of marketing: in what form should the LU characters be released? Dorayaki has pointed this out already: TLG has missed every single opportunity! They made sure that LU embodied as much existing themes as possible, yet they didn't let LU show up in later themes! I don't think the fanbase cares much about the type of product in which they come, may it be a Minifig series, a single set, some battle packs, a whole theme or a selection of cameos in other themes. At the time, a CMF probably wasn't an option and nowadays, it isn't really an option either. It would be confusing and alien to the young (and therefore probably largest part) of the hypothetical target audience. A stand-alone set including all five faction leaders would appeal to a very broad audience without a doubt. Think of: the LU fanbase, kids, the non-die-hart LU FOLs and maybe even some former LU players that are not FOLs but interested due to nostalgia. As for the rest of the characters, one could think of battlepacks, each including the most popular 3-4 playable characters of the faction. The most wanted NPC characters can be distributed as cameos over various sets from other themes, for maximum profit. Opportunities: plenty! Someone should design a proper LU set for Lego Ideas, start a petition and have this topic read by a few influential TLG officials Please answer our call! some of my personal favorites: Keep up the good work, Dorayaki, and the rest of the Lego Universe fanbase!

Enjoy your time on Eurobricks, Matteo!

Welcome back out of your Dark EB Ages

Have a good time here at Eurobricks, Mitch!

Enjoy your time on Eurobricks! Some very nice builds indeed!

Dude, copying a comment and use it as your own is really lame!

Thank you very much for your suggestion! I tried it and it looks significantly better Thanks guys Each part takes about two to three hours to write, but I am very pleased by all the positive feedback on them The canvas was challenging, I'd have prefered a more SNOTed look, but I just didn't have the parts for that. Yet, I am satisfied with the way it turned out. I used the sign design of some other GoH moc, can't remember it's name or creator, unfortunately. Thank you!

A warm welcome to Eurobricks, Will!
