hehe, fabulous fab-take on it Jean-Marc. You may have out-juvelined my Duplo
variation ;-) Those mickey sets are really great, the joints on the figures
are so interesting. The stray element usage on the statue is completly
forgivable. Dosn't the sorceror represent so many more possibilities and
solutions to Mickey as does the using of heavily modified elements in lego
themes? Mabye it's a reminder to Mickey of the importance of a solid
foundation in basic bricks before moving on to more specialized components?
After I finished my Duplo one I realized that it could easily spin into
subtheme's of Duplo (like the Duplo Dinasour) but lacking those sorts of
elements it was put on the back burner. And if not a 1592 newsgroup, mabye a
support group for ex-pats who have this set on their brain.
I definitly got to work more on my town ( and do the dishes ) b4 making
another one of these at least =)

cheers, Joseph

I decided to try my hand at it.  I walked into my Lego room and my eye fell
on a MISB Mickey set, and that was enough to get me started.  My wife even
came in and started to help, much to my surprise (and pleasure!).  It was a
real challenge to stay with the Fabuland-style bricks.

Please let me know what you think.

I encourage all of you to dream up your own variations.

Hi Joseph, Thanks for your comment/feedback. I wasn't into creating a variation of 1592, but when I saw all the different themes used to create so many wonders, (I love your Iceplanet!) I was just inspired to make an other one. So I took my 5 Mickey (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jun-02, to lugnet.build)
