I actually love the idea. I've had a similar idea for awhile, but I since I
don't have any lego sets (anymore), I don't really feel I have the right to
suggest something that requires everyone else to put effort in. But
anyway, to sort of 'unify' the different universes, it's really simple if
you have the right fictional weapons. When I was young and played with
legos all the time, I had 'bombs' that could disrupt dimensions and the
laws of physics. This gave my blacktrons (a small, but powerful,
thief-oriented group) the ability to attack my mighty Futuron forces. If
the Futuron's weapons and ships wouldn't obey the laws of physics, they
wouldn't be as powerful (if they still worked at all) as they normally are.
The bombs could also open wormhole type transports and change the outcomes
of past battles. it's sort of like quantum physics, now that I think about
it.. Enough of the background, do you think similar 'bombs' could be
incorporated into this to help make the different stories more compatible?
of course, these bombs would have to be rare/very expensive/heavily guarded/....

| 1 more thing. Some notes on the design. We'd need someon to come up with a Logo, and some banners. I think the different subsites should not have to look like each other but only have the main logo design on them. -Jon "Jon Palmer" (...)
