Welcome! If you have any questions, ask the EB experts on the forum. I'm sure they'll help you out.

Pirates should provide many nice generic torso prints for a Les Mis scene and there are certainly many heads to fit. (I am still undecided on the perfect Val Jean).

Welcome to Eurobricks Javert

Welcome to Eurobricks Javert! I knew judging from your username you that like Les Mis, and I do too! That's my most favorite stage play of all-time, and I would sincerely love to see all those wonderful custom torso decals in the characters of a Les Mis scene/MOC from you soon. Well, enjoy the site and see you around!

Welcome on Eurobricks Javert ;)

I'm currently reading the full book of les Miséranles in French... Very long and entertaining

as for your moc, I have made a Jean Valjean myself, It doesn't really look like something. But I wanted to make either the Thénardier Bar or the Barricade. I am working on a Harry Potter stop motion Movie right now so I didn't have time for it...

I still'd love to help you

These torsos are wonderfull I love the Valjean one ; with 24601 on it

I'm absolutly in for some Misérables MOC'ing, now that we're some fans right here, it's time to get to my Bricks and build something

Here by, I join my Custom Valjean, Javert and Thénardier

That Javert is a work of art, and I am wondering if I should use the galleys from the 25th anniversary Production or just the workyard from the original for my LEGO Les Mis hmmmm, also I built a barricade but my dog trashed it

Hello, the law! Have a good time here!

What is Les Miserables? Could someone explain it to me? Something like the musketeers?

Hello, the law! Have a good time here!

Oh yeah sure. Les Misérables is a french book by revolutonaire ( Hope that's the way you spell it ) writer Victor Hugo. He also wrote "Notre-Dame de Paris" that book inspired many movies. One of them is the Disney adaptation.

Les Misérables is a real master-piece. It was also turned into a few movies, and has been transformed into a stage Musical. That Play is still in Production at Broadway and some european countries.

The plot is about an old man, Jean Valjean, that stole a bread and was arrested. Javert, the police officer sent him to prison and Valjean tries to escape several times. Once he gets free, he wants to save Cosette, a small girl living the Thénardiers, creepy and thilty barkeepers.

Around that same time, Enjolras, a young student, tries to put on a revolution.

The book has many side-stories and is oftenly studied at universties.

look it up ;)

hello there Enpaz, Les Miserables is a fictional story, written by Victor Hugo, that has been turned into a fair few movies and a musical. It tells the story of a man called Jean Valjean who broke the law and went to prison for 19 years. He gets a parole after 19 years but he breaks it when he steals a silver from a kind priest, but the priest insists the police that he had given them to Jean and then proceeded to give two more silver candlesticks to Valjean. Valjean then flees and begins a new life and becomes the mayor of a town but soon has to reveal his past identity when the notorious Inspector Javert captures a man he believes to be Jean Valjean. after revealing himself at court he runs away again. He meets a Woman called Fantine who has just lost her job and become a prostitute. Valjean orders that she be taken to hospital and but once she is in hospital she explains to valjean that she had lost her job because she was using all the money she earned to pay for her Daughter, Cosette, who was living with the sneaky Thenardiers. Fantine dies but before she dies Valjean vows to collect Cosette and look after her as long as he lived. Javert finds Valjean in the hospital and explains he is there to take him away but Valjean strikes Javert and escapes. Soon Valjean pays money to take Cosette away from the Thenardiers. But the Thenardiers want Cosette back and soon they follow Valjean to Paris. When Cosette is grown up Paris is a run-down sort of place with lots of beggars. A group of Students want to lead a rebellion but have to wait until a certain General dies. One of the students called Marius runs into Cosette and they fall in love at first sight but the Thenardier's real daughter Eponine loves Marius but he does not know this. After this Master Thenardier stirs trouble in the street and Javert comes to break up the scuffle. Valjean and Cosette escape and Master Thenardier explains to Javert that it had been Jean Valjean who had fled the scene. Later in the ABC cafe, the students hear the news of the General's death and go out and march through the Parisian streets building a group of others to help them fight. Cosette and Marius start meeting up after Eponine secretly tells him where she lives. Soon after this Master Thenardier and his gang approach the house and are going to rob it but they meet Eponine and she screams to scare them off. Valjean runs to Cosette and Cosette takes the credit for scaring them off. Valjean suspects that the past is catching up with him and that it was Javert who had come to the house. He tells Cosette that he plans to take her to safety outside of Paris but soon after this he reads a letter Eponine delivers to him from Marius and he changes his mind for cosette's sake. The students build a barricade and Marius joins the students and helps them to fight the police. Eponine returns to the Barricade but is shot and killed. Soon after this Javert (who is disguised as a volunteer) is exposed as a police spy and held hostage. Valjean then comes to the Barricade as a volunteer and the students doubt him until he helps them win a battle. Valjean discovers that Javert is being held there and pretends to kill him but lets him go. soon the students go to sleep and Valjean prays to God to keep Marius safe. The next day all the students are killed, Marius wounded, and the Barricade blown apart. Valjean then carrys Marius away into the sewers where Master Thenardier is skulking and thieving from the other dead students and he steals a watch from Marius thinking hes dead, then Valjean reveals hes alive and Thenardier runs away. Valjean meets Javert outside the sewers and Javert allows him to take Marius to a doctor. When Valjean is gone he walks through the Paris streets at night and in his guilt he throws himself into the River Seine. Marius heals and goes back to the ABC cafe. He remembers the students but then cosette shows up to him and tells him everything was alright, but Marius had questions. Who had saved him that night? a few years later Cosette and Marius tie the knot. At the wedding reception the Thenardiers appear disguised as a duke and duchess. Marius recognises them and hastily Master Thenardier gives him back the watch and tells him a story of that night. Marius finally realises that Valjean had saved him that night. Hastily he and cosette go to Valjean and find that he is dying. Marius thanks him after many years and Valjean tells Cosette of the past that was real, that he was not her father but her protector. The Ghost of Fantine appears followed by Eponine to take him to heaven.

Welcome to Eurobricks Javert!

~buddy~

Oh thanks! This really explains it all.

Welcome, Javert. I picked up the Les Mis reference immediately.

For those interested in reading the book, I HIGHLY recommend the abridged version. I didn't, and found out ol' Victor gets a bit wordy. Like the 250 page treatise on the Paris sewers that was completely unnecessary. Or the 150 pages on a side character that appears once and is never mentioned again. Still a great book, and an even better musical.

Well, this isn't really helping me I just started the non-abridged, full version of the novels. And looking at how long it is. I am starting to get depressed... Well.. I'll just have to put myself together.

"Welcome inspector" I too am a fan of javert. Those designs are really good nice to see someone making them based off les miserables!! Have you seen the new movie? You could probably make some good designs from that.Ive recently been scouring my collection trying to find the perfect,head,hair and torso for a russell crowe javert!! Sorry if i'm a bit late i neglected to read the dates of the posts!!! .

_{Its you Javert! I knew you wouldn't wait too long ! Hi there. Welcome. I love Les Miserables as well. Will probably be building some MOCs too.}

"And the Law is not mocked! I'll spit his pity right back in his face! There is nothing on earth that we share. It is either Valjean or Javert."

I love that song. Also Javert is my favorite character in the movie/play/book. I love the complexity of his character. He believes that his actions are right, and to some degree they are, but he never thinks that a criminal could reform, which pits him against an unarguably good fugitive. this is why I always disagree with people who place him at Lawful Evil on the DnD scale of alignments. He's definitely a LN or even LG (but probably not). Stars is my favorite song.

Welcome to Eurobricks Inspector!

Javert is great. Though Russell Crowe didn't do a good job in my opinion. My favorite character has always been Enjolras. I was extremely annoyed at the fact that they cut out most of his lines in the new movie.

Welcome! I watched the movie and I can say it was great!
