I have 5 words for you : Villainous Time Traveling Hypnotist Gnomes. So what is this theme? Well the story behind it is that Professor Bronwyn Saturnis has been working on a scientific breakthrough but has run out of funds for the project so she has to turn to a mysterious backer to support her project. But this mysterious backer turns out to the heir to evil, the cruel lord Olpud, son of Ogel! He uses Saturnis's project ,a form of temporal energy, to power an array of time travelling devices! Recruiting the Hyp-gnomes he gathers an army of hypnotised warriors from across history to help he take over the world! Feeling at least slightly responsible for this turn of events Saturnis find herself a team of champions from across time to help her defeat Olpud and hyp-gnomes, Namely: Leo The Spartan prince, Beo the Geatish folkhero, Neo the intergalactic explorer, Cleo the Egyptian Icon, and Theo the American progressive. They must find the pendulum tower, to seek out Hyp-Gnomes not loyal to Olpud's cause who may teach them how the free the hypnotised army from across history so that they might turn them against their kidnapper and commander. SET 1: Hyp-Gnome Time Machine £8.99 - 91 parts ( 80 if we exclude the minifig parts ) Hyp-Gnome time machine 3 by Bismuth83, on Flickr A time machine for a gnome Hypnotist, Leo the spartan is there to stop the Hyp-Gnome from travelling back in time to hypnotise and kidnap warriors from across time to enlist them into Olpud's service. Inspired by the H.G.Wells time machine, it has a spinning time rotor and includes 2 minifigs Leo and a Hyp-Gnome. Set 2: Olpud's HQ - Anachronos Rock £129.99 - 1161 parts (1096 if we don't include the figures ) Olpud's HQ - Anachronos Rock In a foolish attempt to demoralise the champions, Olpud is holding hostage something precious to each of them in his headquarters. Find them hidden in the fortress: Theo's Horse, Cleo's Snake, Leo's Shield, Beo's Monster head, Neo's space helmet and Saturnis's energy hourglasses! These headquarters have plenty of features! with a removable Twin bucket hover catapult with room to store it in the cave, a booby trapped floor in the grey castle tower to drop trespassers into the pit below. There's 5 working cannons and 2 working catapults ( the ammo is include in the build, 4 blue cannisters on the hover catapult and 2 yellow spikeballs on the large catapult. you can separate the fortress into 3 separate sections for better access. you can see across the set the stolen pets and items from the champions. the time energy can be placed into skull totem to power up Olpud's time crown! There's a launcher on top the tower to knock the watchman out of their post. Includes minifigures of : Professor Saturnis (hiking outfit), Theo, Cleo, Neo, Olpud with time crown, Hyp-Gnome (medal piece repurposed as hypnotist's pendulum), Hypnotised Aztec warrior (baseball bat used as a stand it for themacuahuitl part from series 21) , Hypnotised Roman Solider, Hypnotised Persian warrior and a hypnotised Conquistador. Here I've used red eye's to show the 'hypnotised effect' If it were real they would all have unique faces with hypnotised swirly eyes on one side and normal faces on the other, so that you can free the warriors from the hypnosis. All of the names here have meaning, Saturnis is named for Saturn, roman equivalent to Kronos Greek god of time, Olpud is Duplo backwards (like how Ogel is lego backwards) ,hyp-gnome is an obvious portmanteau of hypnotist and Gnome and Champions themselves all share the eo ending and are mostly named for historical figures. Leo is named after king Leonidas of Sparta, Theo is named after Theodore Roosevelt, and Cleo is obviously named for Cleopatra, Beo and Neo are the odd ones out here as they aren't named for historical figure, with Beo being named after Beowulf and Neo meaning new as the future is new? will be new? whatever... Beo doesn't actually appear in either of the sets I've made (maybe I should have sneaked him into the time machine set) But I was trying develop an idea for a whole theme not just the sets I've built. I have not made a minifigure line up for the rest of the hypothetical sets so I'm only entering this theme into the first category. But for fun and to help flesh out the theme concept here is a brief outline of the full wave ( which I have not limited to 5 (as is required for category 2) as it's just for fun) Hypnotised warriors battlepack £14.99 - Hypnotised Pict, Hypnotised Joseon royal guard, Hypnotised roman soldier, Hypnotised Dahomey warrior - build is Camel drawn super-laser £24.99 - Cleo, Theo, Hypnotised Persian warrior, Hyp-gnome - the build is a camel drawn wagon with a huge futuristic cannon on it, it includes 2 camels (to pull the wagon) and a horse (for Theo to ride) War Elephant escape £34.99 - Carthaginian warrior x2, Theo (mountaineering outfit), Hypnotised Nubian archer, Hypnotised Aztec - moulded elephant from the city line with a brick built saddle and a rowboat with a hot air balloon modification.
