Lego Gets Spooky!

Never liked Bionicles. I thought that was when Lego became popular on the play ground and when it started to go down hill.Macgyvercas said:
I was playing Lego before it was cool and way after it was too.
Hell, I was even playing Lego Video Games before they where cool.

Hey guys,
This is Jamie/Morgan19; I'm the creator of those Halloween figures. Thanks for the original post nilcypher, I appreciate it! If you picked up the original story on The Brothers Brick, can I venture a guess that you're a LEGO fan yourself?
To everyone else that posted kind words: thank you too! It's always nice to hear that folks outside the LEGO world appreciate this sort of thing as well.
If anyone has questions about the figures or anything else, by all means please feel free to ask here or pop over to my account on Flickr [http://www.flickr.com/photos/morgan19/] and send me a message. I'm always happy to discuss with folks.

Heh, not especially. Keep in mind I've been putting these Halloween figures together for over a year now; only the last 20 or so were made this year. I just tend to have a bucket of minifigs with me on the couch and put creations together as I think of them, and then Photoshop the final creation whenever I have some spare time; on a good day I can do a completed figure in a bout 15-20 minutes. I've done so many figures, Halloween or otherwise, that it's not that time-intensive any more.TheNamlessGuy said:
"Just making figures" is perfectly fine by me, actually-- it's a wonderful creative outlet I've developed that combines my professional talents (design) with a longtime personal hobby (LEGO) in a way I love and others can appreciate. I'm not in this to "get" anything back. It's a lot of fun and I like doing it: I don't need a monetary return to make it worthwhile for me.Therumancer said:

Best. Lego Game. EVER! I played the crap out of the Rock Raiders game. Thanks for reminding me, this and these incredibly awesome Lego figurines make me want to play with Lego again. Shame I lost that innocent, child-like creativity, unlike mister Morgan19. I envy you good sir.SomeBritishDude said:
Right there with ya. Lego Rock Raiders was brilliant. That being said, I still tear my hair out thinking about the second to last lvl with the Slimey Slugs. Damn thoughs buggers!Assassinator said:
Mmmm.... Lego.
Everyone: As nerdy as it may make you feel, if there is a AFOL (Adult Fan of Lego) convention anywhere near where you live (Brickworld, Brickfair, Brickfest, etc), go to it, at least for a day. You'll see things you never knew could be built with lego. And you get free stuff, and meet nice people.
