Your own Lego Universe

[TheLazyChicken]

Well, with the lego movie canon and all someone (LegendsOfNinjago ) brought this up.

"I have a desk and 3 shelves that hold all my Lego stuff and in my world everything coexists. Intact a story I made up, Harry Potter, Lloyd, Toa Tahu (Stars) Anakin, Tony Stark, Superman, and Laval had to find 7 golden objects to raise The Great Golden Temple which now powers the 3 power cells in my city (one in ninjago, one on my Rebuild Aqua Base and one in my Jedi Temple...I'll have to post pictures.)"

So I have made a thread for you to tell us your own made up universe. I will go ahead and tell you my own lego universe story...

There are 3 worlds, Lego (the lego universe,) Dupiter (the duplo world), and TheLandThatShallNotBeVisited (the mega bl***, best lock, and clone brands world). There is this lego city citizen that has a wife and a best friend that always go with him to help people in the city. That is the main story. They take a lot of journey's to stop evil villians in the universe including an evil book that turns people evil, a evil slug that kills and infects people, oversized bugs, wierd hummanoid animals, zombies, a living-dead creature, aliens, giant constraction figures, Nemises (the leader of all the villians that got loced up in the chamber of secrets, along with the basilisk), the portal emperor, lord Vampyre, ghosts, and many more villians. Along the way they encounter new friends such as Ducky Freeman (my sig-fig?), Emmet, Gerardo (a friendly mega bl*** figure who suffered cancer and the loss of a arm and legs), Samantha Rhodes, Alex, Daston, Jack Firblade, and Prince Uni-Cat. Enemies include Isabella (the greedy and mean 'princess'), The Rich Guy (the rich and greedy brother of the lego city citizen), and the Vampyre Bride. Places that are in Lego are the Mirkwood Forest, the far away Galaxy, the planet Hoth, Atlantis, Lego city, and the desert of forever sorting.

POPULATION: way too much to count

BEST VILLIAN: Nemises

That is just a summary of what my world is like. Now its your turn to tell us what your lego universe is like!

Right now a good portion of my Lego is stored away at the moment due to limited space, but this topic brings so many memorys from when I was little. My best friend and I made up this evil thing called "pider" (which was a little thing with six legs) and spider man had to stop it. But doc ock and general grievous are also up to no good. So spider man teems up with jango fett and indiana jones to help him in Stopping the villains. Every time I went over his house we always continued the story, often adding new characters and elements to it.

I remember us often building things to go along with our story. (A jail for pider for example.) I also remember at one point grievous made good with jango and he opened a novelty shop. And also, no theme was off limits, everything existed in one awesome universe.

When you have Lego and imagination, anything is possible. Thanks for bringing back so many memory's.

My shelving is more or less for display only, but when I was younger, there was definitely a "world." Restaurants, a secret agency (the police of sorts considering I wasn't a fan of the actual city sets themselves), and even a villain's area, complete with the Volcano Base and Vladek's Dark Fortress.

However, I have thought up a Universe in my head in an attempt to combine as many themes as possible in one coherent saga. I've written very few portions of it, but I have a crazy amount of it in my head, and I hope one day to share it with the world more widely. Currently I have a portion of it in MOC form in my "Dawn of Ages" story in the Guilds of Historica Forum.

[Lordofdragonss]

By now me and my friends made a whole solarsystem where our Lego-universe exist. We often play brickwars too to tell the war stories later,haha.

I am Dragon master that own one of the planets.The main reocurring Villain is Burgundy Army and evilscientist Lord Vężaks.

[obsidianheart]

I just have all my stuff laid out on shelves in a storage room at one of my parent's house for now. I had this whole idea for a comic-like photo set that would basically imply that all the major Agents villains used to work for Ogel before he went to jail (and then they broke him out later and made him work for them), all the supernatural or monster villains were bound to a prison dimension that was beginning to "leak", all the Blacktron guys were using recovered alien technology, and all the Aliens were looking for Blacktron's stuff. I'm probably not going to actually do it, though, as it involves building set pieces I don't have time or parts to put together.

[LegendsOfNinjago]

My set up is mostly display but sometimes when I'm not working on homework or student council stuff I play with them. The said story above was one of my first.

[Cult_Of_Skaro]

As I said in another thread, Blacktron is currently attacking the Black Falcons. And Jabba the Hutt took over the Crusaders.

[Murdoch17]

I currently have a World very much like Earth in some respects, but very different in others. The LEGO Empire (or the Empire, for short) is made up of the USA, Canada, Mexico, an some of Europe.(Mainly the UK & Ireland) That way, my American trains and my UK trains live in one country, but on separate continents. Some real world companies exist, (IE The United Kingdom's British Railways and it's predecessor companies, but not the current post-BR ones) while other are in modified form. (America's Southern Pacific Railway exists, but spreads to St. Louis & onwards to Chicago.) Still other corporations exists only in the Empire, such as Brick Railway Systems taking the place our Union Pacific, St. Louis - San Fransisco (Frisco), & Atchison, Topeka, & Santa Fe (Santa Fe) Railways. Steam stills thrives on Brick Railway Systems, by the way, as diesels are too un-ecinomical. Space travel exists to such an extent that I have colonies on, and contact with, other worlds / civilizations, such as the Space Police, Blacktron, etc. The Empire controls the Moon & Mars. I even call the Earth another name: Playwell. (leg-godt is danish for play well, after all!)

I consider this world an alternate reality to our main dimension.

[TheBrickPal]

Actually, my universe is pretty bland, and I barely ever combine my sets while playing. All are displayed separately: I've got Mixels on my bedside table, TMNT on one table, CUUSOO and Collectible Minifigures on one table, Super Heroes on the floor (yeah, I have no more room), Hero Factory and BIONICLE in a bin, Winter Village on its own shelf, Ninjago on its own shelf, Legends of Chima on its own shelf, and The LEGO Movie on my dresser. All themes coexist happily, but don't get in eachother's way. I guess you could say that I'm The Man Upstairs!

[korpen4444]

All the sets and figure I have coexist. I also have a Super Hero epic with the Lego League of Super Heroes vs. the League of Evil Builders(Lord Business's answer to the Master Builders, currently led by Lex Luthor) going on. My Star Wars troops act as Military and Police, The LLoSH includes but is not limited to: The Justice League, 3 Members of Young Justice, SpongeBob, Patrick, Emmet, Wyldstyle, Obi-wan, Yoda, Bobby Buoy, Brains the Power Miner, while the LoEB includes(but again is not limited to): The CIS, The Supervillain Society, etc.

I stopped in to my little brothers to see what they where up to, and it seems they have quite the Lego universe going on. It's like they say, a picture is worth 1000 words...

I generally cast the "Good Guys" of themes as the enemies, with the valiant Giant Bugs/Rock Monsters/Generic Humongous Robots racing to stop them (often using both groups' canon goals). The only classic "villain" is my sigfig, which is by virtue of having goggles, a cape, and the LEGO representation of my "flamethrower that works underwater" concept.

However, most of the time, the "worlds" inhabited by each group of creations is separate, until a one-time crossover connects some of them, kind of like LEGO's "canon". LEGO bricks are a good metaphor for this model of story, with each world's story interlocking and seperating from others as time goes on.

Important characters: The Enkara Swarm ​(aka the Galaxy Squad bugs), the Ninja, weird ex-space miner guy with a laser axe, HF's characters and the Technotians (utopian society of mad science. Probably one of the view utopias filled with giant mechanical scorpions, though). Eldritch Abominations of various kinds also tend to pop up from time to time.

I don't have much of a Lego universe. all my Mocs are all boxed up and only get displayed at the NILTC shows, and all my figs are locked away in their own little compartments and bins.

[Itaria No Shintaku]

Actually, I was a maniac.

I had a full story going on about my Lego characters since I was a very young kid, and I stopped when I entered my dark age.

I have three giant ring binders collecting all the 500+ stories of every single minifig I had. Most are just supporting characters, but a wide hundred have a real detailed story.

It's a post-apocalypting scenario in which castle, space, pirates, ninja, western and city live all together, fighting an evil lord and his brickbuilt robot minions. Of course this evil lord is the brother of one of the main characters. Who is the police chief in the main city, also.

It's a very long story I can't surely post it in here, but I have pictures af all the minifigures, since I made every single one a shot with my camera.

Well...

[LegendsOfNinjago]

Well I started collecting whenbi was 11, so I hoping because of the delay of hobby I never have a dark age...

[tedbeard]

My LEGO universe is almost entirely in my head and in boxes of parts being collected against a time I can actually have the fabled "LEGO room". (Things in bold are items I have started collecting parts and plans to build.)

It is also a rather small universe centering almost entirely on the Stackton Valley...

The first permanent settlement we know about in the Stackton area was Stactum fort built by LEGiO XXIII (Ferox). This outpost of the Roman Empire progressed rapidly from a marching camp to a fort to eventually a fully functioning town with civilian administration and outlying villas. Remains of this settlement are sparse apart from the lower courses of the town walls but recent archaeology has uncovered some of the foundations of a small theatre and several buildings within the walls as well as a villa believed to have been the home of a local magistrate or high government official in the region.

After the Roman Empire withdrew the town walls sheltered a mix of Romano-Brickish peoples who had, along with the whole Empire, converted to Christianity. Eventually St. Studmore's Abbey was founded in honour of a local saint. This Benebricktine House would thrive through the centuries enduring viking raids and the various civil wars lasting until the dissolution of the monasteries in the 16th C.

Arriving with the Conqueror in 1066, Gerhard de Brique was created the first Baron Stackton. Pictured above is Hugh de Brique (11th Baron Stackton) c. 1480. He was responsible for the largest rebuilding of Stackton Castle and the town walls which represents the majority of the works seen today. His soldiers distinctive red and black livery provide the colours found in the modern town flag and the local football club: Stackton Town FC.

Captain James de Brique (later Admiral) c. 1790. An explorer and combat commander in the Royal Navy the 22nd Baron's most famous action was the seizing of the Spanish Frigate Clickefuego whilst in command of HMS Impermeable. The family had a long association with the sea as a younger son of the 19th Baron, also named James, sailed in command of a Galleon against the Armada. This earlier James de Brique was also something of an eccentric eventually using many of the timbers from his ship to build a small theatre, The Rose, based on the playhouses he encountered in London c. 1600.

Colonel George de Brique, 1944. Having served as a young Lieutenant in the Great War, the 26th Baron was promoted to command the 23rd Regiment of Foot shortly before the Second World War broke out and led his men in action in Normandy and the Low Countries. His cousin Robert de Brique served as a major in command of the Stackton Battery of the Royal Horse Artillery.

Today Stackton Town is a thriving center of recreation and tourism served by modern rail service and a restored steam-powered tourist train which takes visitors on a excursions during the summer months. Stackton National Forest provides hiking trails and other recreational opportunities as well as a modern, full-service public campground.

What a fun topic! I only recently started collecting lego and have a few sets and a giant tub of starter bricks. My fiance is trying to teach me how to build stuff myself (I feel more comfortable following instructions and need to learn how to do my own thing) so we have been building a large house together, on a big baseplate. We built one, and then started redoing it so it was bigger and more detailed. He is more into the perfectionist details of how to build the house and I am more interested in the storylines amongst the various mini-figs we have somehow amassed through various means. For example...

- Abraham Lincoln is having an affair with the Pretzel Girl. But now we have a new arrival, Mr. William Shakespeare, who is trying to woo her away. There might be a midnight duel in the garden, with swords. Let's just hope nobody finds out about the firepower the Star Wars mini-figs are hiding in their little spaceship thing...

- Nobody wants to share a bedroom with the Panda Man, so he and the baby panda have been sleeping in a little closet room all by themselves. They are the only mini-figs with proper beds right now, as we have not gotten around to finishing all the bedroom stuff yet.

- We got a ton of slopes with computer stuff printed on them, at the brick wall at the lego store. Abraham Lincoln has used this to build himself some sort of surveillance lab/robot lab/computer dungeon, and he is spending a lot of time in there, sometimes with the baby panda. It all sounds a little sinister to some of the other minifigs, who will not go in there...

[Cult_Of_Skaro]

- Abraham Lincoln is having an affair with the Pretzel Girl.

It's amusing to me how vastly the backstories for ones' toys change once you grow up.

[ficbot]

:-) I know! My nephew was over and just wanted to take everyone's head off.

It's getting a little crowded in the house. We are thinking of tearing it down and building a park. We have some outdoor stuff from the little junky bags, and can put some cool things in there. And I feel like we need to have an amphitheatre to corral all the mini figs.

[Blondie-Wan]

My personal LEGO universe is completely malleable and subject to change, like anything else made out of LEGO, but one of the ideas I keep coming back to is that the minidolls from Friends (and now Disney Princesses) really do exist in the same shared universe as conventional minifigures - given their slender builds, joined legs, and more heart-shaped faces/heads, I like to think of them as actually being the martians from Life on Mars, having donned disguises to pass as human so they can move freely amongst the people of LEGO City in order to study them without drawing too much attention, 3rd Rock From the Sun-style.

[Quantumsurfer]

It's nice to see how other folks have developed their own personal toybox storylines. I myself have several, mostly for other LEGO community sites, that I'm very fond of. But my "main story" has been going on in my head (although I have written some of it down/taken pictures/created comics and the like) since I was a kid. I never had a great deal of access to LEGO as a child, as it was too expensive. During my first years of college, however, I went bonkers and bought a great deal of it. A little while later, the fantasy Castle stuff came out and I went even crazier (Castle was one of the things I wanted desperately as a kid...the fact that it was creative fantasy pushed me over the edge).

Anyway, my original story wasn't really a story at all. Just primordial chaos and toybox wars. As I got older and fonder of storytelling, I began to develop more interesting and persistent characters. One of my first was a technomancer who developed the secret to artificial intelligence. It seems like a small thing, but the one thing I've always liked about that era of my childhood play experience was that the technomancer didn't create an army of robots to subjugate the other minifigs but, rather, built all of his AIs into vehicles. He traveled around like an adventure hero and diplomat combined, speaking with the other figs, saving them from dangerous situations, and teaching them purpose beyond endless fighting. It didn't work like he'd hoped, exactly. The various minifigures began to group into factions with strong, central ideas and goals. Then, those factions began warring with one another. Of course, it wasn't always physical conflict. I suppose it was about that time in real life that I first saw reruns of Mission: Impossible on a television channel called FX. I'm sure that influenced my storytelling leanings somewhat for years.

I have a family of my own now and I'm pleased to note that my oldest son has his own developing storylines. I still buy LEGO from time to time, when I can afford it. I reuse some of the figures for various community based stories but my main story uses all of them. Currently, they remain grouped into factions, though those factions have grown somewhat over time. I'm a huge fan of multigenre, so the individual factions (for the most part) are mashed together.

[TheLazyChicken]

Well, yesterday my oldest son was playing with all the minifigures and bricks. I was just listening secretly what he was playing an what story he was creating. This is the story he made up...

He was using my brickbuilt duck and using him as the main hero. He was also playing that there was this skeleton man who was trying to use all the crystals to regain his body and control the world. All the crystals were all spread out in the lego world in all the different locations too. At the end he made all the good guys trick him and they used the crystals to trap him back into the evil book where he was trapped in before the rich guy and the princess released him. I wonder what he will come up with next...

Above a desk is the land of licenses, where all the lego movie and licensed characters reside. Sometimes my SigFig will visit on vacation to make sure there is order, as he is my second-in-command after all. Below that is the desk with all the nessacary useful items. It also houses my Lego Movie MOCS. Next to that is a nice white bookcase with a aquarium on it that house the pet hermit crabs, Spider and JoJo. Former resident Mr. Krabs died on October 5th. Then there's the closet with all the bins filled with bricks. Then there's the main attraction, the lego bookcase! The first floor has all storage, the second has all vehicles, third hospital, fourth police station, fith fire station. There's also the dresser with my police force and my workspace. Also, all my themes live in harmony!

Just as well, his theme has gone over to Mega Bl**ks.

I don't have the exact same thing as what you guys have going, but as soon as the LEGO City is in an at least somewhat admirable state, there's hopefully going to be an overwhelming sense of anachronism, with the town being able to be simultaneously occupied by residents (at least one per theme) of CM, HERO Factory, Mixels, Bionicle, Fabuland, Alien Conquest, Super Heroes, Knights Kingdom, Jack Stone, Clutch Powers (custom), Castle, Space, Toy Story, Basic (those McDonalds "Monster" sets released ages ago), TLM, Spongebob, DUPLO, Monster Fighters, classic "no-face" minifigures, Pirates, Creator, Games, Belville, Western, Adventurers, Sports, Racers, Technic and whatever else I at the very least have a representative of. I could even throw in Ollie the Dragon in there! They could live there peacefully or they could be a part of a dangerous "interdimensional" rift that has struck the town and doomed its people.
