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...
Anyone notice how they also provide instructions for the sets online? (in
pdf format)

Some of the pieces looked pretty cool, but I get the impression that they'll
be larger than Lego studs-- tho I could be way off base. Maybe the figures
are smaller than they looked to me on the webpage. But the rocks, statue,
inn's door & window pieces all looked highly usable, even tho they're way
too prefab by my tastes to really fit in with standard Lego. I think they'd
really stand out as "these are not Lego pieces" if mixed in with regular Lego.
I probably won't invest anything in them, anyway :)
