sometimes i wish i could turn it off, so many ideas like

me too!

matt groening's "futurama" springs to mind.

other people have posted that this seems an unlikely
theme for tlg to persue, but i can easily see it
happening one day. (btw, you can get a decent looking
modern gun by cutting off the armrest and shortening the
barrel of an adv. rifle.)

well, this is something you could make happen with
extant pieces, no? in my mind, they've done a "space
pirates" theme already, simply by producing space and
pirate themes already. i built a space pirate ship once
on the hull pieces of red beard runner...never made
photos, but it's an idea i'll return to one day...

like you said, same as above...;-)

i'll get around to doing the villains (sigh) one day...
i'm in the planning stages of building sets and vehicles
for all this (sigh) one day...

well, at least in my world. i think fright knights is as dark as tlg is willing
to get.
my dream theme is a good african safari, that could even be done as part of
adventurers. apparently bigger game won out, with therelease of dino-sland next
year.
i guess i'm one of those folks who wants tlg to make more animals, because i'd
also like to see a farm theme.
later ~ craig
