(Note to mods: please do not move this to the flicks sub-forum. This post is mainly about the scene stills and acknowledging people from this (Special LEGO Themes) forum. IT ALSO SERVES AS MY APPLICATION INTO FABULAND BUILDERS GUILD .Thank you.) I recently finished ' ', a Fabuland stop-motion film. Clocking at 13:13 and shot at 30 FPS, it is the longest AND that smoothest FABULAND stop-motion film out there right now.RIDDLETON is a patchwork of eight loosely intertwining riddles starring Edward the Elephant and other Fabuland characters. Each riddle can be solved on its own, but clues might be found in the other riddles as well. Will you find solution to all eight riddles? Animations accompanied by an eclectic mix spanning from classical music all the way to hip-hop and electronica. If you love FABULAND (or know anyone who is the fan of the theme), you ought to check it out: Importantly, visiting this specific sub-forum helped me a lot while designing the sets and during its making I adopted several designs I had seen around here as well. Here are several stills and acknowledgments from the film: I loosely adopted the original vitrage design by Ninja Nin: resurrected steampunk tractor by Sir Nadroj makes a cameo appearance, too! (Street design modified from LegoLyons' work) library shelves adopted from the original design by timmyc1983: iconic Fabuland pieces are subtly used throughout the whole film: DUPLO pieces can be quite useful, too: Shop at the Fab's - the ultimate Fabuland shopping mall! Are Gabriel the Gorilla's amps too loud? Will Catherine the Cat provide any clues ? (all lightning effects by JANSO clamp lamps from IKEA) the overall smooth feeling is supported using SNOT approach wherever possible: Thank you very much. Let's keep FABULAND alive and kicking. -

Here are some pics from my FABULAND Castle display at Brickworld Ft. Wayne last weekend. I hope to continue to expand on this display for Chicago. It was amusing to me how many kids were offended or "creeped out" by the FABULAND figs. Or, as they put it, "those weird animal people." A slight majority of people wanted to know what it was. Sometimes they meant, "Where did the figures come from?" Some asked if they were Mega-Blok. But, I was surprised by how many people expected it to be something. And this is true of all displays I've brought to conventions. If it's not an instantly recognizable license or theme, people need to know what it is I'm representing. There's little room for new, imaginative creations in some people's world views. Well, enjoy and please feel free to leave feedback. Thanks.

When Obadiah Tusk unleashed his FABU Monger on FABULAND, billionaire Tony Seastark had to don his armour and become super hero Iron Beak to stop him. This is my first experiment with low light photography and alternate lighting sources, by the way. A better look at the FABU monger:

After some re-styling, the FABULAND Theatre is almost ready to open again. Come and see the new look of one of the most popular meeting places in FABULAND! The yellowed marble of the front has been sanded and now shines clean and polished. The addition of Greek and oriental elements, while criticised by some, adds to the appeal of the building, according to the majority. While the main hall still needs few finishing touches, the foyer is open and the bar can serve you delicious clam cream pies. Major Caroline Caw checks on the workers on the way home from the market. Not all of them are working as good and orderly as she could wish. Charlie Crocodile is testing the microphone and speakers, while Harry Horse gives the stage a final sweep. The soundproof panels on the wall grant perfect acoustics, and the emergency lights at the foot of the wall satisfy even Capt. Brandon Bulldog's strict safety standards. As you can see, the working crew did a very good job with the lighting plant, and they also mounted a mobile giant flat screen, which is used for adding sub-titles or display voting results during the many contests held in the theatre. I hope you like this building and will join us for the premiere in a few weeks! Few additional shots can be found in this BS folder (once moderated).

If you are a non-player, feel free to comment on the game presentation, but please do not discuss mechanics or theories or evidence while the game is in progress. Thank you. Thank you for agreeing to play Harriet Slutter and the Sorcerer's Balls. Thank you also for agreeing to participate in whatever concoction I had created to attempt to circumvent metagaming. To confirm your role, please log out and follow the login instructions in the confirmation PM sent to you. You can be logged in as your EB self and your alter ego at the same time if you use two different browsers (for example, Firefox and Chrome). I would also recommend changing your alter ego password when you log into your new account. I realize this isn't the most convenient way to play, but it's only the click of a couple extra buttons, so thank you in advance for jumping in and playing along in this unique and unprecedented format. Hooray for fun new challenges! I am hoping everyone will play on their honor in this anonymous setup, including staff who may be tempted to look up IP info. If you did not receive login information for a dummy account, then you were not selected.

Players who aren't selected, please do not post here about not being selected, so the players selected can achieve that much more anonymity.

Number – 3269 Name – Barney Bear (Bruno Bear) Theme – FABULAND Year – 1981 Minifigs – 1 Pieces – 16 Price – Price paid unknown; original MSRP unknown. Currently £9.23-£10.26/ $14.00-$15.72/ €10.71-€12.02 for used sets on Bricklink or £39.49-£64.78/ $59.91-$98.26/ €45.81-€75.14 for MISB sets on Bricklink. Links: Brickset, Bricklink, Peeron. The Box The characteristic FABULAND background provides the setting to display Barney Bear and his car. There aren't that many green pieces in FABULAND, mostly keeping to red, yellow, blue, black and white, and as a result these colours stand out vibrantly against the light green FABULAND background. The back of the box has the characteristic 'catalogue' pose for Barney, as he clutches his wrench to advertise supplies for serial killers everywhere. And he looks so innocent! The other pictures show him zooming off into the distance, and pretending to have a flat tyre to lay in wait for another innocent victim, still clutching his weapon of choice. Noticeably absent, however, are any pictures of alternative builds. None. Nada. Not one. The sides of the box have identical pictures of Barney fixing an engine the only sensible way; by hitting it with a wrench. One side has unfortunately suffered a little damage from a long lost shop sticker, and the box is a little battered and bruised from the passage of time, but nothing too terrible. Even here on the bottom of the box, the last side to have pictures on it, there are no pictures of alternative builds. Instead we have a candid shot of Barney taking a comfort break and clearing up the age-old question of what bears do in the woods. Oh, and there's a nice picture of the car, too. The Box Contents The Instructions As always with a FABULAND set, the instruction booklet is a small piece of folded paper, with a charming hand drawn picture of the set and its figure on the front. FABULAND can be seen sitting on a hilltop in the distance. Barney looks innocent and adorable clutching his trusty wrench and positioned next to his getaway car. Another lovely feature is that the instructions for these early sets are given as a cartoon, showing Barney building his own car. Admittedly this is easy to do in a set with only a few parts, but it's such a lovely way to illustrate (quite literally) how to build the set. Another regular feature is the multilingual introduction to the main character of the set. This gives the Fabufig some personality and gives you an idea of how he or she fits in in the town. As ever here's a mish-mash translation of what's said: "This is Bruno bear. He is always friendly, helpful and reliable. Or genuine and sincere and always ready to give help." There is usually a hand drawn picture of FABULAND too, and this is actually different from the one seen in 329 Bernard Bear and his Lorry from just 2 years previously. For a start there are far more Fabulanders around, most notably a panda careering across the hilltop with a crazy monkey clinging onto the attached ladder. In addition to the instruction leaflet, there's a little advertising pamphlet too, again a usual thing in these sets. Like the other pictures, this front picture is also new, and shows much less odd behaviour than that seen in 329 Bernard Bear and his Lorry, except Bonnie Bunny looks like she's been caught in some bad act, though. And I have to wonder what the cat and the lamb are doing on the top of the hospital.. Inside this pamphlet there's another, different view of FABULAND displayed in sets, plus small pictures of the sets themselves, as no potential for advertising should be wasted (which is fair enough, really). If you looks carefully at the larger picture, you can see that many eyes are drawn by Chester Chimp's antics on top of the ladder. Those crazy chimps. On the other side of the pamphlet, in amongst all the other pictures of sets, is yet another sweet picture of a little boy and a little girl building FABULAND together. And they seem to be having fun together. Equally. The last little bit of this pamphlet is a small cartoon. For 329 Bernard Bear and his Lorry we had Charlie Crow in the rain, but here we can see Perry Panda getting annoyed with his lazy companion Chester Chimp, who's content to lounge on the job. I adore these little cartoons, although it's a little weird that the cartoons themselves don't relate to the actual set. The Parts There are only 16 parts here, so not much to choose from, really. The wrench is available in loads of sets (200 or so) and mostly it's basic bricks, however, if you want the printed FABULAND brick, then this is the only set you can find it in. Additionally the curved roof is only available once each in red, blue and yellow, and obviously therefore this is the only set containing this part in this colour. Furthermore, the yellow window frame is only available in this colour at all, and only in three sets; the same other sets as before, namely 3635 Bonnie Bunny's Camper, and 3634 Charlie Crow's Carry-All. So, out of 16 pieces, 3 of them are quite rare. Not bad, really. Minifigure Hello Barney Bear, who may be a psycho killer who draws innocent Fabulanders into the countryside with his fancy car and clubs them to death with his wrench. He looks so adorable and innocent, but we know what dangers lurk beneath. Barney Bear has conveniently found himself an alibi, by appearing also in 3670 Service Station. Clever, very clever. The Build I've recreated the building steps shown in the instructions (well, as best I can with real LEGO, the instructions were drawn and subject to artistic license). Barney carefully places his precious printed grille piece at the front of the chassis, with a couple of 2x4 bricks forming the bonnet and engine. Barney next places the FABULAND vehicle door pieces on either side, otherwise he won't be able to get in and out of his car. Time to build up the back of the car; the boot or trunk depending on where you live. It's easily comprised of 2x3 and 2x4 bricks. Next thing to do is to hoist the windscreen into position. It's a heavy part for a little bear, but Barney's been working out. Then all Barney has to to is pop the curved roof piece into place, grab his trusty wrench and he's good to go! Doesn't he look adorable? From the back you can see that the rear of the car is also decorated with a yellow 1x2 brick, which makes it look like Barney has packages stacked at the back of his car. That little yellow brick makes a lot of sense there, from a design perspective; it's clear that something is needed in that spot. Having recently reviewed 329 Bernard Bear and his Lorry, I thought it would be interesting to compare the two. In only a couple of years the boxy feel of 329 has evolved into a smoother and more rounded vehicle in this set. The main differences between the two are afforded by the addition of the curved (and printed) FABULAND grille piece, and the curved roof piece. You could argue that the moulded roof removed some building steps, but really it's just replacing putting together three 1x4 bricks and a 4x6 plate. So here's Barney with his pride and joy, posed as he is on the box front. It's a cute little car, brimming with the FABULAND aesthetic, which often seems to me to be based on vehicles from the 1920's. The set number, and the reappearance of the bear, suggest that this was a sort of update of 329, and although 329 is a fun model, when it comes down to it the shape of this vehicle appeals more. Conclusion Design: 9/10 As I've mentioned, this car is classic FABULAND style, and some people really love that, and some don't. It is a personal thing, but I am a fan of FABULAND, and this car is a beautiful representation of this style. The curved FABULAND pieces - the chassis, doors, grille and roof, form the entire design here really, but I like the 1920's aesthetic, playfully recreated with bright colours. Parts: 9/10 There aren't many pieces at all, so to find two specific FABULAND pieces only found in this set, is really quite remarkable. I'm surprised, given how early this was in FABULAND's overall release, that neither of these pieces were reused at any point. Aside from the FABULAND specific parts, the others are really just basic bricks in basic colours. Minifigs: 8/10 Barney's another bear, and he's cute; there's absolutely no denying that. He has the adorable first-generation eyes and brown bears are pretty limited in FABULAND. Although the mould itself is used often, Barney appears only here and in 3670 Service Station (with Peter Panda Bear, who looks more like a black bear than a panda). Barney's brown bear brother is Bernard bear who appears in 329 Bernard Bear and his Lorry (seen above, and he's not necessarily Barney's brother). Build: 8/10 There aren't many parts, and they don't take long to put together, but it's still fun, not least because the instructions themselves are adorably displayed. By adding character to the instructions, character is added to the build. There is also something exciting about building a 30 year old LEGO set for the first time, too. Playability: 8/10 As a car, this model provides full zoomability function, and the model is sturdy enough to withstand the fiercest zooming. Having doors that open and providing Barney with an accessory allows for more scene-setting. He can fix his car, club unsuspecting victims over the head and drag them into the passenger seat and drive away. Endless fun! Price: 7/10 Really the prices currently on Bricklink are pretty high. As always, it will depend on how much you want the set itself ano/or its pieces. There are a few rare pieces and it is a cute model with a lesser seen Fabufig, so the lower end of the used prices isn't unreasonable. You may see this set going cheap on e-bay (or a local equivalent) in which case it may well be available for much less. Overall 82% This is a charming car which is beautifully representative of the FABULAND theme. It's fun, with a cute little bear who even has an accessory (in fact there were two wrenches in the box) and the model is nicely curved and smooth, but still with studs visible. It's an enjoyable build, and the presence of rare parts makes it more desirable. If you're a FABULAND enthusiast then you'll enjoy this set. Thank you for reading, comments are always very welcome.

Roleplaying is a good thing and it is encouraged in this game and will be required at some point. So get to know your personality quirks, they've been created for a reason. You have all been sent a role PM in this format: Any Third Parties may have slightly different role PMs. Night Actions: Notes from confirmation, Day One and Night One: Interesting that even with aliases, Cecilie, Walter and Cornelius seem to be connecting. Cornelius thinks Looney is Dave, though. Actually, Helena, "don't post out of character in thread" isn't a new rule. It's been in every one of my games, so shut it, Little Miss Smarty Pants. I don't think Snarky would've been quite so suspicious if everyone knew that it was Sandy. Notes from Day Two & Night Two: Hey megablocks! They're all the same megablocking PM!!!! And stop trying to use your PM to your advantage because you can't! I hesitated for quite some time to give the three players penalties who were discussing the role PM. Did it confirm them as Town? Did it make everyone else think Wong was Scum? Since Wong is Town, it's massively stupid for them to be insinuating he didn't have the same role PM. In the end, a rule is being violated and they deserve the damn penalty votes, so that's that. I'm agonizing over what to do about the difference between the objective and rule 2. Why do they seem so different from each other? I want to change it and clarify it, but then it may make Wong even Scummier. That is my fault as a host for having that difference there in the first place. However, the actual objectives are laid out quite clearly in two other places. The standard rules are from EB and I just cut and pasted the appropriate terms. The way that rule is worded makes sense. Scum vs. Town, Town vs. Scum, third parties have their own objectives. That's the standard rule, as that is how any game could be structured. Each player's role PM, (Penises or Odor Eaters) says they need to get rid of the third parties. Ugh, what a conundrum. I feel somewhat responsible for Wong's lynch in that regard, but why is he citing the rules instead of his role PM or the objective or the role PMs I posted for everyone to read?? Ugh... Notes on Day Three & Night Three: Notes on Day Four: Further notes on behavior: I am disappointed by all the negative energy that occurred in this game, especially from those who have been around for a while. Nothing excuses that, no matter who started it and you always have a choice in how you respond. I can speak to specifics about why I didn't pause the game or officially reprimand anyone if need be. However, the most important thing I learned this time is that when people display this type of negative behavior, no discussion or rules can really stop it. People who behave this way consistently will simply not be chosen for my games any more. Everyone involved in that is equally responsible for what occurred. You should know when you cross the line from character to real life. Additionally, do not ever PM the host to complain about your role or the game structure while the game is in progress. I think I'm pretty open to constructive criticism and am constantly trying to take feedback into consideration each time I host a game. It is bad form to criticize a host while a game is in progress. Role PMs: More analysis and player feedback...and tongue lashings to come. I'll start by saying, "What the hell?" Not only were the two protector claims not identical, I've used a protector and bodyguard (along with a firefighter/antidote) in my last three full-scale games. What an aggravating thing to watch. I'm sure you're just as frustrated, Townies. Great job, Scum! What an excellent team. Nice work! Really great teamwork. Way to discuss everything that happened and check every angle, check every possibility, discuss all outcomes and give each other really good advice. Clean sweep. How did you guys like playing anonymously? Did it make it more difficult for the Town? Was it harder? Easier? Fun? Difficult to remember what account you were logged in with, Scubacarrot? It's late here and I'm tired, so discuss and I'll join you after a full night's rest. The bonerfied writeboard Password: rutroidied

Shawna Sheepkorsky needed a way to deliver flowers to and from her shops all over FABULAND. Now, with this helicopter, nothing will stand in her way. Inspired to some extent by the Bell 47, but that didn't make such a good pun. More pictures over on Flickr. Thanks for looking!

After the horrifying events in Winter Haven, Gibson Goat and his friend Cameron Crocodile decided to retire from the dangerous game of defending the world from Demon Legions and instead open a Tavern inside a hollowed-out mushroom. Standing proud in its idyllic setting beside a burbling brook, amidst a meadow of pretty flowers, the Toadstool Tavern is a sanctuary for Fabulanders to relax and unwind. The Tavern lies next to a road, within easy reach of the town; for those who have traveled by horse there is a stable yard for their weary steeds to rest and play. Ale is always in demand, and Cameron is ready with a few extra barrels to slake the animals' thirst. Inside, the Toadstool is small but cozy, with a warm fire for those chilly evenings. Here Helen Hippo and Pancho Parrot seem to have engaged in a drinking competition - by the looks of Helen's empty bottle, I'd say she's winning. Of course, all that beer has to go somewhere. A little door behind the fireplace provides access ... ... to Gibson's little addition to the Toadstool - a makeshift outhouse. You know what those animals are like! Plumbing isn't FABULAND's stongest feature, though, so the area beneath it is best avoided. Quite why the Walrus has decided to have a bath there is anyone's guess; mucky pup. A spiral staircase climbs the inside of the mushroom. Upstairs is Gibson's little refuge from the world: His open-plan living space features a double bed, a wardrobe, a fully fitted kitchen, an open fireplace and a plush bathroom. Every goat has his little secrets. Hope you enjoyed the tour! For more pictures, see the flickr set. Thanks for reading! Pandora and Rufus Disclaimer: The characters Gibson Goat and Cameron Crocodile technically belong to Hinckley, but we think we made them our own.
