What a bizarre contest... I love it. Steve

I wonder who will be doing the chasing in the Motorcycle Chase set... or who will be stealing the treasure in the Race for the Stolen Treasure set... Why can't we just have JT and avoid all of this mess...? Steve

Born on a mountain top in Tennessee; Greenest state in the land of the free; Raised in the woods 'til he knew every tree; Killed him a b'ar when he was only three; Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier. He fought single handed through the Injun war; Till the Creeks was whipped and peace was restored; And while he was handling this risky chore; Made himself a legend, forevermore; Davy, Davy Crockett the man who don't know fear. When he lost his love, and his grief was gall; In his heart he wanted to leave it all; And lose himself in the forest tall; But he answered instead, his country's call; Davy, Davy Crockett, the choice of the whole frontier He went off to Congress and served a spell; Fixin' up the government and laws as well; Took over Washington, so we hear tell; And patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell; Davy, Davy Crockett, seein' his duty clear. When he come home, his politickin' done; The western march had just begun; So he packed his gear, and his trusty gun; And lit out a grinnin' to follow the sun; Davy, Davy Crockett, Leadin the Pioneers. His land is biggest, and his land is best; From grassy plains to the mountain crest; He's ahead of us all in meeting the test; Followin' his legend right into the West; Davy, Davy Crockett, King of the Wide Frontier I think there may be some verses missing, particularly one about the Alamo... Steve, who thinks we need a Davy Crockett Lego theme...

Well there isn't any indication that there won't be anymore sets... Just that the previous line (HP4) didn't do so well. Probably why they only released one set this time. Steve

Two pages is too long to read for something I'm not really interested in... especially exoforce...

The new beards look promising! The set itself looks pretty crappy... but the figures have me interested. Steve

Bad Guy Vehicle? What an inspirational set name... :-| Though I must admit Dwarfs Mining isn't much better... Steve

Hillarious! X-D Steve

I'd love to see the top of the Lego box (where the minifigures are shown) that includes "Holly Goodhead," "Pussy Galore," "Plenty O'Toole," "Molly Warmflash" and "Octopussy" *wub* Steve

Looks like I may have to sign up... Steve

Nice! Great way to introduce the skeleton horses to a Wild West setting. I wonder if black fences would look better than the white, or if that would be too dark? I also wonder if you interspersed some grey bricks if it would break up the mass of brown and look like faded boards? Steve

Here's an idea from Goldfinger. Epidermal Suffocation: Little hotel room scene, with a Lego bed and a chrome gold figure (Jill Masterson) laying in it... $10 ;-) Steve

Until you sit on one... 8-| Steve

I assume mine came from my propensity to do series of alphabetic vignettes, as seen here and here. Though I don't know where the street comes into play. I was formerly: "One for the money, two for the show" presumably because I used this as my image. And before that I was "Ado's Bible Illustrator" because of these and used this as my image. Though I'm not sure I understand the "Ado's" part... And before that, I believe I had something about "8x8" because of these. Steve, who thinks he may be the only person here with all his titles solely based on MOCs... and vignettes at that... X-D

I think we're all like little abused puppy dogs, who've gotten so used to being abused they are afraid of everyone for fear of being abused again. We AFOLs gotten so used to being disappointed by new products (viking beards, the return of Castle that turned out to be KK2, new greys, etc.) that we see every potential new line or set as likely to disappoint. We don't want to get our hopes up. Personally, I'm hopeful, but wary... X-D Steve

Somebody is bitter X-D Steve

Joe goes for a fishing trip... in New York's East River... http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Vi...ig/fishing1.jpg The whole sinking gallery (with other Joe Vig creations): http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=122443 Steve

I'm hoping the slaves will split the vote and Cloud City will win. Steve, who voted for Cloud City, because Star Wars has a disappointing lack of redheads... X-D

Sets we already know: lets talk about what they will be like... -Temple Escape (Raiders): Jungle temple from introduction. $49.99. I suspect this will be a very open airy set (for $50, it would have to be). Set up similar to that in Scorpion Palace. I hope the idol is good and the set includes some Hovitos. Probably won't include Jack and the airplane (may include Reggie, though). -Race for Stolen Treasure (Raiders): Indy chasing the truck carrying the ark, includes two desert vehicles. I'd guess the vehicles are a truck and a jeep or maybe Belloq's Rolls? Probably will have a horse for Indy to ride. Two guards, one to drive each vehicle and maybe Belloq or Toht? $29.99 -Lost Tomb (Raiders): Escape from the Well of Souls. $19.99 I imagine this will look a lot like the Vampire Crypt. Probably only include Marian and Indy. Maybe/hopefully a new cobra piece? -Motorcycle Chase (Last Crusade): Indy and Henry escape from Germany on motorcycles. Will probably include motorcycle with sidecar, Henry and Indy, a second motor cycle, and maybe a guard shack, with barrier and flagpole. Sets we might see in the future: -Desert Airfield (Raiders): includes flying wing, guardtower, gas truck Indy, the Swede, Marian and Pilot. $50 -Mine Car Chase (Temple of Doom): includes track for carts, maybe like Gringotts or the new Spongebob set. Some mine scenery. Two mine cars. Indy and Short-round, Willie (maybe) Thugee guard. $30 -Catacombs (Last Crusade): includes a wall with skeletons, rats, coffin with skeleton knight. Includes Indy and Elsa. $20 -Grail Temple (Last Crusade): includes facade of Petra, traps on inside. Indy, Donovan (with revolving wall to replace with skeleton), Henry, Elsa, Knight, (Marcus and Sallah?). $100 -Tank Battle (Last Crusade): includes large tank with Henry and Marcus and the Hauptmann inside (maybe driver?). Indy on horseback. $30 -Bug Room (Temple of Doom): includes room with lots of bugs on floor and roof that closes down. Includes Indy and Short Round. $20. -Raft Escape (Temple of Doom): Indy, Willie and Short Round in raft, on a hill of white slopes. $10 -Plane Crash (Temple of Doom): Plane like the Island Hopper, includes Indy, Willie and Short-round and hopefully live poultry. Also includes a raft $30. -Elephant Ride (Temple of Doom): Elephant and Willie on backwards $10. -Bridge Confrontation (Temple of Doom): Indy on collapsible bridge. Alligator. Mola Ram. $10 Sets I hope we see: -Cario Chase (Raiders): includes middle-eastern bazaar set-up. Basket with Marian in it. Two thugs to carry basket. Monkey. Shiek. Indy. Maybe a truck? $100 (more likely $50). -Castle Grunwald (Last Crusade): Castle like the various Hogwarts. Revolving fireplace and secret stairway. Includes butler, Henry, Indy, Guards. $100 -U-boat Confrontation (Raiders): includes steamer and u-boat. Indy, Marian, Guards, Sailor $100 -College/Museum (Last Crusade): college type building, with lots of artifact displays. Includes Marcus (lost in his own museum), Indy in suit, room full of students. $100 -Streets of Iskendrun (Last Crusade): Similar to Cairo. Includes Marcus, Sallah, bad guys and truck to kidnap Marcus. $50. -Ahhh, Venice (Last Crusade): include city facade, with outdoor dining area. Two boats with fez-wearing bad guys. Maybe two boats ("Don't go between them!"). Indy and Elsa. $100 -Henry's House (Last Crusade): Similar to Privet Drive. Ransacked house with lots of books and artifacts and junk. Includes Marcus and Indy. $30 -The Temple of Doom (Temple of Doom): like Hogwarts. Large temple, with secret passage out of bedroom, dining room (with Snake Surprise), trap room, heart-ripping out area, mine, mine car on ramp like Gringotts, bridge scene. $100 Exclusive TRU set. Includes, Indy, Willie, Shorty, Mola Ram, Victim, Thugees. What are your thoughts? Steve

Sounds interesting. I hope the beards are new designs. Steve

I haven't tried this, but what about just leaving the skeleton legs in there? Steve

That kind of fits... X-D Steve

I think he looks a lot better that way. More grizzled and crazy. Also forgot to mention, that's a great name for a prospector... Steve

Its EV-9D9, isn't it? Could a mod add that as an option? Steve, who had to do a little research...
