Star Wars I was definitely all over. I mean, SW is a quality license, and I'm
a huge fan, so of course I was ecstatic.
Disney, same thing. I mean, the established Mickeyverse characters. Well, I'm
not a huge fan... but I mean it's been around for years and years and years,
the recognition is there (maybe even more than Star Wars) and it was a good
move.

Since I like HP too, I was happy to hear this. Although I have to admit that I
wondered if it wasn't an indicator that they were going to be taking on more
and more licenses with less-established products...

Is Jack Stone a license? I didn't think it was, I thought it was just an
action-oriented Creator line.

Well, to be fair these are apparently going to be "Moviemaker" sets. Although
the same question can be asked... aren't these what it's kind of based on
anyway?
I wonder if they'll use the new "Dinosaurs" peices in the JP Moviemaker sets.
Anyway, with all the dino-stuff in the first run of Moviemaker, and Speilberg's
involvement in JP3, I kinda thought we'd ear about this eventually.
It's a shame, since The Lost World was such a terrible movie.
> Oh well if it keeps the $$ flowing for TLC then all the more power to them.
Well. I feel the same way, sort of. If TLC thinks that this is the way to
make money, they might abandon the things that make me like them so much in the
first place.

| Yeah, TLG has been losing it's "original" products (Space Police VS Blacktron, DECENT Town sets, etc. etc.). When I was in second grade (about 6 years ago) my friends and I found an old Lego magazine from like '91 and we say the Blacktron sets and (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jul-01, to lugnet.animation)

| (...) I have to say that I already own a JPIII Studios set already (1371). The dino is kind of iffy IMHO, but the rest of the set is old school town style building. If 1371 is any indication of the rest of the sets in the line, I say bring them on! (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jul-01, to lugnet.animation)
