Martin Wood, who did Art Direction & Management for Island Xtreme Stunts and Character Models/Textures for Soccer Mania, has his own portfolio website: 11/13/15: Two years after posting this, I finally made an effort to contact him. In my message, I introduced myself and explained how I found his site. Specific questions about the games were not prepared yet, but I told him that they would be composed and asked later. The only question I had immediately was if he had any more images like the ones above. 11/22/15: I finished composing questions and sent them off in another e-mail (See last post on first page).

Should have listened to your gut on this one. No where in the discernable universe is "oh well" a valid reason to do anything, least of which bumping a topic that had been dead for three years. Do. Not. Do. It.

For those who are still a little old-fashioned and still wear watches (Myself included), you're in luck: Bricklink and The Brick Fan have reported that LEGO is going to release a series of official LEGO watches aimed at AFOLs. Dubbed the "LEGO Watch System", 25 different watches are planned and, much like the more commonplace children's models, you can customize everything from the band to the bezels. All sorts of colors and designs are in the pipeline, so if you like watches (and why wouldn't you?), be sure to keep an eye on this. They will be out by November, just in time for Christmas with a price range from $85-$185 (So these aren't just bigger watches; they're made from quality materials).

It looks good, but I don't think LEGO would react very kindly to something so similar to the real products being used in a video game - commercial LEGO-inspired games like Blockland have had to change their studs and pieces and all that to avoid running into trouble with LEGO. At the very least, I'd suggest changing the studs and tubes to something else, as that's what LEGO is the most concerned about. To give an example, here's what Blockland originally looked like: And here's what it looks like now, after LEGO required the developer to make it look less LEGO-y (note the changes made to the minifigures and studs): I'd recommend doing something like that. Different enough from LEGO to avoid legal trouble, but close enough to make it still look like LEGO. It can be a tricky balance to find, and right now, I think you're a bit too close to actual LEGO for comfort.

Conceal that cough feeling with Cough-Huna!

Too late for most if not you already.

Here you go. (Edited for better resolution.)

Hi! Just thought I'd make a dump on my discovery with WRLs so far.

Found this while looking up LR2/Drome Racers devs... http://www.simon.mooli.org.uk/AF/article/commercial.html More info on Ion Runner down at the bottom of the linked page. Also, I've never seen the Xbox version of Drome Racers in the wild... It's either really rare or actually never got released for some reason or another. I've only seen box art. I'm gonna try to contact this guy and see if he has any more info.

Hey, I was just thinking about the old LEGO games, before Star Wars, Batman, Indiana Jones, Etc.................. I'm talking about the CLASSICS! You know, LEGO Island, Alpha Team, the ones not based on licensed themes. These classics have a special place in my heart, just because they had an original story, and WEREN'T repetitive. I think that LEGO Univers is bringing this trend back. I mean, the only non-licenced theme game in the last five years was LEGO Battles, and that failed... and I'm not talking about BIONICLE Heroes, either. But still, I just loved the creativity of most of the old games. I mean sure; they weren't the best, but they were fun while they lasted. Every now and then, I look back at those simple times when LEGO was churning out as much new games as themes... And I think of two things: 1) That was one of the reasons that LEGO suffered financial loss in 2004. 2) I long for those old times (minus the loss) Just my thought. Feel free to comment on what you think of those games.

Overview When crime in LEGO City gets so out of control that the Police Force cannot contain it, special armoured vans are sent out. These prototypes* are heavily armoured, and fitted with hidden devices that surprise and outwit the criminals they are sent to capture. Few can escape these special force vans, besides the Brickster and his super jetpack, perhaps. This model, which I have yet to think up a good name for, was built based on models I built when I was little. They were spy vehicles which always had some hidden features, stuff that hadn't really been produced in LEGO sets until the Agents theme. I put function over form, so it doesn't look particularly great, but I guess the same applies in the real world too when it comes to these types of vehicles. *My cover story on all my models, to excuse any possible improvements Photos This is the main view of the model. It's moderately tall and thin for a vehicle, and has side panelling. See More View a 2Ï€-radian rotation of the model below: Police Van MOC (41MB) Note: Use the arrow keys to rotate the image. You may need to click on the image first. Additionally, the first rotation may lag while it loads the images. I'll update this soon to be viewable online, currently it isn't working (perhaps it's too big).

From what you've said, you might not have the white bricks you need, but to make it look more 'armoured' I'd suggest that you put white plates on the side. If that makes more sense... Why not have the windshield and the roof attached to the same hinge? That is, the driver's roof is attached to the windshield hinge and not to the main roof. If that makes sense. Don't double post please. Use the edit button. I've fixed it for you. - jamesster

You have been asking how the game is going to look and questions about how can it be LEGO ROCK RAIDERS, how original to LRR is it? hopefully this model will answer some points. Here is a new 6 wheeled vehicle: It is in a style similar to the original Rock Raiders, but it is made from parts that are not LEGO, but being studded bricks it has a look similar to LEGO or other studded brick toys (does that sound ambiguous enough not to be sued?) Ok, well here is the image - I love it - what do you all think? I had expected a few more designs and concepts coming through, please send me your suggestions, even scrappy sketches can be made into good concepts. How about buildings any building trees you would like?

I am blocking my house's router from this thread's web address now before I get sucked into true insanity.

*could, not would.

Why not have a 'help' button or something? Assuming you're having instructions somewhere, just move them out onto the main menu. Contradicting what I just said, It's good, I think it just has too many options. Removing/moving 'Exit' and perhaps removing 'Credits' and sticking it inside the 'Extras' sub-menu would work better.

I plan to have a little mini game in every episode. Maybe.

It's only the first episode, but this has a lot of potential (because you have to start somewhere). The riddle was also a nice addition (collect the 8 Running Man heads to become the Running Master *imagine a Dragonball parody*).

WHERE'S DA OPTION BUTON?!? No, seriously, that is whats missing.

Woah, much better. Looks like a late-90s, early 2000s Star Wars Episode I or II game haha.

What's the background from? If you made that part, great job. You should arrange the buttons in a hexagonal shape with a button at the center, then color them like Toa (but somewhat transparent).

Special thanks to le717 and JrMasterModelBuilder. Coming soon to theaters... http://youtu.be/CDbUS_tbSl4 GET TO THE CHOPPAH DIGGAH! So... yeah, This happened when I copied a DIGGER.MD2 model and renamed it POLICE_CHOPPER.MD2 replacing the current police chopper model. Sorry for such a bad view of the actual flying digger. I threw this together very quickly and did it in one take for the recordings. Also i didn't know whether too put this under Mods,Screenshots or Fan Fictions.

I did the Great Huna because I'm running out of this series of masks, so I can't work in reverse order anymore. I noticed that its coloration made it look remarkably like a cough-drop. Cough-Huna anyone?

No it's Galidork.

Always thought your name WAS Alcom.

I saw some fake legos in the dollar store, grey heads and little molded noses. THE HORROR.

What doesn't look like Bionicle anymore? They use those elements in EVERYTHING.
