The world must know of this. It's like... well it's fairly unique, but it seems to be taking some cues from Little Nemo (or one of its contemporaries) and perhaps Rocky & Bullwinkle, but filtered through a misforged lens that's been cracked as much as it can without breaking. For reference: Captain Indigo LEGO Dimensions-pack or bust! oh and an ideas project would be nice too

I made this comic about it:

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

Ambient breakbeat music with lots of unusual sounds and structural elements! Have fun.

TT also got the descriptions of LR1/LR2 mixed up on the backs of the boxes: (There were 2-packs of LR1 + LR2 and LI1 + LI2 released by TT in 2007, as well as all four games together as seen here. The back of the LI1/LI2 boxes also claimed you could build vehicles in LI2: http://i.imgur.com/dCPQovC.jpg TT also released a Creator/Drome Racers/Galidor/LEGOLAND pack in 2008: https://www.amazon.com/Collection-Legoland-Creator-Racers-Galidor-Pc/dp/B003BL147S http://i.imgur.com/DgPAS3s.jpg http://i.imgur.com/agXEJuI.jpg And I recall seeing some pack that included Stunt Rally and I think Island Xtreme Stunts, as well? Though I'm not sure who published that or if I'm correct in IXS being the other game, but Stunt Rally was definitely one of them.)

Heh. Quake 2 <3 One of my favourite games, it's right up there with Quake, Doom(classic), Doom 2 and Unreal Gold!

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/

Make em double faced? Sure I can do that.

I like that! The one on the right is the new size, correct? If so, could you make it just a little taller? I'm currently using a capsule collider on the player so the collision points are slightly above pepper's head. Actually, you might not even need to make it any taller, I'm sure I could work with that. Also, (sorry that I keep asking for things, but I'm not good at 3D modeling whatsoever...), could you make faces for the outside of the interior? While the "interior" object itself is going to be contained within the building's exterior (gonna figure out a way to make it seamless), because the planes only have faces on one side, they cast shadows. I've disabled shadow rendering for the things that don't need them (like walls), but the directional "sun" light bleeds into the interior as if it was wide open.

Oops. Well I derped that one up. The scale matched the one on the bottom floor, and I suppose part of the reason I made it so big in the first place was so that wall wasn't so plain and empty. While revisiting this just now, I did think of a way I could attempt to make that side of the building a bit more accurate though, even after downscaling it by 50%. Here is the new vs. old sizes.

Working on it now. For the observation tower, can you put the elevator hole on the right side? Also, could you make the hole 1/2 the current size? Here's what I mean: Everything else is perfect so far! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @Xiron Here's a link to a short video I made of walking around the inside. One thing I noticed is that the scale is off for some objects. Initially the player was too tall to fit through the rotating door, so I made the entire room bigger, but then I noticed the exit door was huge, especially compared to the windows. However, the original game was pretty much the same so it's not even on my list of things to worry about fixing. Overall, I'm really impressed with these models and how it's turning out so far!

The model itself is good, but I think if this is gonna go anywhere they really need to take out the "includes exclusive LU figs" thing. That's never going to happen. Bob + the jetpack and maybe a sword or something makes enough sense and is doable, I think they should stick to something like that instead of vying for new molds. Although, IIRC, models based on existing Lego things are no longer allowed on Ideas. So I don't know if this'll even be possible.

This is 100% how I'm feeling about Traveller's Tales right now.
