  Re: ISCC: Let your ideas take flight...
 
In case people missed this since it was announced to .contests only... This may well be the most ambitious (and richest, broadest, and potentially the funnest) contest ever staged in the LEGO world that wasn't put on by LEGO itself (and it surely (...)

  Lord of the Rings - clone bricks by Playmates - pictures
 
See (URL) for pictures. If Lego is going to continue in its current strategy of securing licensing rights, why they did not secure the rights to use the Lord of the Rings characters is a good question. I'm sure there are reasons. Possible ones (...) (23 years ago, 15-Oct-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.castle)
 
  It's NOT LEGO
 
and (URL) (which is a great LotR site) has that "LEGO is coming out with Hobbits, Gandalf, and much more Middle-earth! " ugh! -- James Stacey ---...--- www.minifig.co.uk #925 (23 years ago, 15-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Well, I just sent them an email about it. I'm not sure if you did as well, but such an ignorant error on their part deserves a bit of email-chastising. Politely, of course. ~Grand Admiral Muffin Head (23 years ago, 15-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: It's NOT LEGO
 
(...) Did you look at those sets, and we complain about LEGO juniorization... The characters are even ugly [from a LEGO type perspective], it looks like they are scuplted characters on a 2x4 brick base... It will be interesting to see them and see (...) (23 years ago, 15-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: It's NOT LEGO
 
(...) Sounds like each character will have small speakers etc in them so that they can talk and have "battle sounds" etc. Perhaps the 2x4 base is for a battery/mechanism that they didn't want to redesign for each fig so that it would always fit... (...) (23 years ago, 15-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle)
 
  TORN Corrects error
 
www.theonering.net has corrected their error in calling the LOTR Intelli-blox "Lego" They now refer to them as "Intelli-blox" on their site. ~Grand Admiral Muffin Head (23 years ago, 15-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle)

  Re: TORN Corrects error
 
(...) They have a great FAQ over there. (URL) 3 is "Movie Changes" vs the books. Get ready for "Gollum vs Jar-Jar": (...) (23 years ago, 16-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: TORN Corrects error
 
(...) In part, possibly. However, unlike Jar-Jar, a large part of Gollum is being based off of Andy Serkis (sp?). In addition to providing the voice, Andy is getting dressed up in a cybersuit and providing much of the base mechanical motions for (...) (23 years ago, 16-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle)
