RRU plays Connect 4:

We've never had a proper topic on this? Really? Ok. Let's fix that. The year is 1980. A few years prior, in 1978, LEGO had launched the first themes to feature modern minifigures (Town, Castle, and Space). Now they've just released an idea book starring what we know to be the first named minifigures, Bill and Mary. This idea book depicts the two characters on an adventure through LEGOLAND, and also includes many stickers, including torso decorations for your own Bill and Mary minifigures. Scans of the book are available in many places online, but here's trusty 'ol Peeron's gallery: http://www.peeron.com/scans/6000-1/ Nowadays, this idea book is considered a classic by AFOLs. It inspired the LEGO Adventure Book, and several full-sized layouts based on the book have been created for LEGO cons. The end. OHOHOHO. BUT NO. IT WAS NOT THE END. OH HOW IT WAS VERY MUCH NOT THE END. In the Spring 1983 issue of Bricks n Pieces, a comic appeared. It starred Bill and Mary - now renamed to Captain Indigo and Lieutenant Polka Dot. And at first, it stayed faithful to its idea book inspiration. However, Bricks n Pieces was a magazine that only received three issues per year - Spring, Summer, and Autumn. Captain Indigo ran from Spring 1983 to Spring 1989. Nineteen magazines, each with one page continuing the story (slightly less, actually - the first magazine only had the comic running across the bottom of two pages). Needless to say, it didn't take long for the 1980 idea book to become irrelevant. What was the result? First, I'd recommend that you: READ THE COMIC YOURSELF Seriously, it'll only take like ten minutes. (Most of the scans are from Brickset's collection, but the last three are from miniland.nl.) However, if you are not yet convinced that your life would be improved by accepting our lord and savior Captain Indigo into it, and are unfazed by spoilers (or you just don't care to read it in its entirety)... Allow me to post some highlights. MISC LINK DUMP: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=548178 <- Brickshelf uploads by Sadie, in case there's ever some freak incident where imgur goes offline forever but Brickshelf remains It seems that at least from August 1985 onward, the comics were written/drawn by Alan Jones: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/alanjonesart https://www.facebook.com/AlanJonesArt/photos/a.632222250153329.1073741825.172379789470913/682431691799051/?type=3&theater https://www.facebook.com/AlanJonesArt/photos/a.632222250153329.1073741825.172379789470913/744842502224636/?type=3&theater Going by how the art style also changed in 1984 (starting at the comic where they go back in time), I'm gonna guess that at least three different illustrators worked on it at different points. Stickers for the characters were also included with magazines: http://brickfanatics.co.uk/memory-lane-the-lego-club-uk-sticker-sheet/

So a while ago I made some images to replace the ones currently used for moods. I made just a few and they're not perfect, but I think they could be a starting point. The ones I've made so far: http://oresome.rockraidersunited.com/download/266 I don't remember if I included the template in the download, but you will probably want it. Maybe.

its like they figured out how to draw the lance in perspective and just couldn't stop

Oh, I didn't realise you'd done so many - there's more than just the thumbnail there. They look very nice, very Lego-y. How many of these are proper Lego faces - as in, made as a Lego face with that expression on them? (Never mind the colour) Can you include JackStone / Friends in there, or is that tantamount to heresy? and can I haz template.xcf, looks by far the best of the lot; aidenpons is now feeling Gimpy

Hey, you could even do the waffle! These'd be great. I'm always hesitant to select one of those current coloured-smiley moods, because the style is a little jarring. But I'd use these in a heartbeat!

Brickset got those Shop at Home catalogs added. Unfortunately it isn't everything, and there isn't much new. This is the first time I've seen Robin Hood mentioned in US materials, though. also this

Ooh LEGO-fying the moods, nice!

Cyrem Today 12:38 AM: Does Iceland only have 1 grocery store? mumboking Today 12:46 AM: @Cyrem There are more than one Iceland stores, if that's what you're asking... mumboking Today 12:49 AM: That wasn't worded correctly... Oh well... AaronBurner05 Today 12:49 AM: AaronBurner05 Today 12:49 AM: Cyrem Today 2:28 AM: @mumboking so the store is called Iceland? AaronBurner05 Today 2:30 AM: @Cyrem yes AaronBurner05 Today 2:30 AM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceland_(supermarket) mumboking Today 2:59 AM: @Cyrem What @AaronBurner05 said.

Cyrem Today 3:08 AM: kangaroo is actually not bad Cyrem Today 3:09 AM: much like beef actually Cyrem Today 3:09 AM: slightly different flavour though Cyrem Today 3:09 AM: but if you didn't know it was, you'd probably eat it thinking it was beef mumboking Today 3:10 AM: mumboking Today 3:10 AM: Nuu.
