    Two new LEGO pages —Thomas Foote
   Hello all. This is my first post to LUGNET. I just wanted to let you all know that I have created two LEGO pages of my own, and I invite everyone to come check them out! (1) The Crossbots Pages: I was inspired by Jim Cane's Ultra Throwbots page, and (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.announce)

         Re: Two new LEGO pages —Thomas Foote
     (...) Hmm. I was afraid of this. There's a particular DLL which you (and I here at work) need to be able to do this decompression, and unfortunately I have no idea which DLL it is.

        Re: Two new LEGO pages —Tobias Möller
     Great movies! I´ve only downloaded one when I´m writing this, but I´ll watch the others as well. One of my dreams too has to be able to make stop-motion films of lego-models. Especially with my classic space minifigs, my moon landscape and my (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)

         Re: Two new LEGO pages —Thomas Foote
     (...) Tell me about it... :} The big problem with getting a slower walk is that minifigs have a very limited range of motion. It's hard to get a smooth leg motion up and over then next LEGO stud in front of them, and getting them in a transitional (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)
    
         Re: Two new LEGO pages —Richard Franks
      (...) It definately gets my vote - I love these movies, and they way the minifigs walk!

          Re: Two new LEGO pages —Thomas Foote
      (...) Competition? Gee,that sounds so... competitive. :) Actually I think it would be a good idea, but mostly I would love to see some sort of a LEGO film festival. It would be great to see what other people can come up with. I think the best way to (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)

          Re: LEGO Film Festival (Was: Re: Two new LEGO pages) —Nicholas Allan
      We need to have it at the same time as a 'real-life' film festival that has a name which can be 'punned' with a Lego term. Many thanks, Nick Allan ======== Madness takes its toll. Please have exact change. Richard Franks (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)

        Re: Two new LEGO pages —Matthew Wilkins
     Thomas, your movies are spectacular! I was laughing so hard at the UFO one that several of my cow-orkers came over to see what was the matter. Since they're all LEGO fans, too, they enjoyed the movies as well. I also am impressed by your Crossbots! (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)
