Hey Craig you get my vote! You the Man! I was so blown away. I had no idea
of the level of customization that could be acchieved with the minifigs. I
have been customizing Star Wars figures for years but now I can tell my focus
is going to have to change. Please tell me what type of paint are you using?
I must know.

I love the idea of Time Bandits sets. I know they did Time Twisters but that
doesn't even come close to a Terry Gilliam flick. I can think of several
Python projects that could work. Yellowbeard and Eric the Viking spring into
mind, but there are others. And if you like Goonies did you see my post
mentioning Joe Vs the Volcano or Cabinboy? Keep the ideas coming and let me
know about that paint.
