Guys, I saw The Lego Movie yesterday, and now all I want in the world is to turn Bruce into a Lego Batman. Also, Robin. Also, everyone.

When's Cubefall again? Can we just turn the entire bar into Lego forever? (Not really). But you know what I mean.

Lego. Yes. Can someone clever make up a Lego plot? I'll beg if I have to.

...right, I've been awake too long. *handwave* EVERYTHING IS AWESOMMMMEEE.

ETA: Omfg, you guys are the best. Yay, lets do this! I won't be able to do anything until after March 19th - ugh, assignments - re: organising anything, but if anyone else wants to take it before then, that's fine!

Question though - would people prefer an actual Plot, where mini-figures have to Do Something - or think they do - or should we just freeform 'hey, I'm Lego, wtf!' and see where it goes? Preferences? Thoughts? YAY, LET'S DO THIS! :D

SOMEBODY might have thrown LEGO Batman into PFSB the second she got home.

I think SOMEBODY should tag him.

DARKNESS.

(Also I will PAY RICK MONEY if he turns Hal into LEGO Green Lantern.)

O. m. f. g.

Tomorrow, expect a tag. Yes. Omg. I am so happy right now, I'm on the verge of welling up. Jfc.

GOD I NEED TO SEE THIS MOVIE

CAN WE PLEASE TURN THE BAR INTO LEGOS

WE MUST WE MUST WE MUST.

Also, you have to see it. It's so hilarious, and completely meta. I dug it immensely.

Well, there is that box of Legos in the Chicago Sector... they say that if you step on them, you turn into Lego for a while.

ETA: In other words, if we want to do it, I can come up with an Artifact for it.

*flings self at you*

YES YES YES. :D :D :D

Here's the thing about Artifacts, too. We can have a fairly complicated neutralization where the Lego people have to band together to build something to neutralize it. Or, it could be something as easy as dumping the right Lego in some goo.

I can roll with whatever.

I will hit you up about this in a couple of weeks, if I may? I have to do some uni work before I put a lot of thought into plot, but if the lion's share is done in the first week of March, hopefully we can stick something together?

Of course! Feel free to either PM me or e-mail me (I think my e-mail's in Joshua's info. If not, harass me in the myriad times I'm around.)

BrickLink, the fansite for all things Lego (according to my friend the Nazgul, who makes part of her living making custom minifigs), links to a number of minifig generators: https://www.bricklink.com/links.asp?catID=22 -- I think the classic one is the mini-ME-zer which I can remember using back in 2003 or so: http://www.reasonablyclever.com/mini-mizers/mini-mizer-2-0/

Meaning to says, yes we all can turn into Lego virtually/visually, and so can our charries. What with Quin's artifact, we're all good for the next rush of random magic. Hurrah for the Warehouse delivering artifacts for plot as needed!

So yay, I am up for it!

There's even a minifig maker on the LEGO movie site itself, albeit a fairly limited one.

Leeeeeeeego

Did somebody need a candidate to play the part of a LEGO pirate?

IMMEDIATE AND VOCIFEROUS YES. :D :D :D

I also saw the LEGO Movie yesterday. I now have an overwhelming urge to pull my old Lego sets out of the attic and MAKE STUFF.

I also saw it last night! and am angry I lost most of my LEGO stuff when we moved.

Everything is cool when you're part of a team!

I know for a fact there already exists lego configs for Spider-Woman and Beast. This means I am all for it!

And now I want to see a lego Brimstone. ;p

Heheheh, I found Quin and he looks so grumpy!

And the afor mentioned Beast and Spider-Woman, although it occurs to me I should make a human Hank since I don't have him to his furry point in canon yet.

...holy crap, Spider-Woman looks terrifying. 0_0

I vote for Legos, wtf, which Artifacts are good for. Then the basic plot is figuring out what did it and how to reverse it.

I'm positive that I saw a minifig of XMFC Charles' somewhere, but if not I'll just use the minimate. Hee, time for Ivan to get an introduction to weird that he can't blame on Miles.

There's mini-figs and PopVinyls of all of the Ponies, so this should be a fun plot for her.

Really?

I suppose there's even one for Scootaloo?

I'm actually pretty sure there is one! I know DH and Vinyl Scratch have 'em. I think I've seen keychains at the least.

ETA: apparently there are pretty detailed fanmade sets. There are lots of Minifigs that get close to the desired effect, tho.

Really? There are MLP Legos?

Apparently there are pretty detailed fanmade sets. There are lots of Minifigs that get close to the desired effect, tho.

Yeahhh, I have those minifigs, they're not really Lego-compatible. :/

Mmm, I guess it's handwavable, for anyone in the cast who wants to play and needs icons, tho?

Lego fireman. Why is it that every time I bring Tommy in, he ends up getting changed into something/someone else? He can't catch a break :p

Oh man, I want in on this. Sarieo missed the IMDB flu plot on account of her mun lacking in brainspace, but I'm seriously getting in on the Lego plot now that I know it exists.

Hmm. Lego astronaut? Is there one, does anybody know? I have no idea if there are TNG-era Lego Trek figures, and if there are, i doubt anyone beyond the senior staff have them. Well, maybe Barclay has.

My thing is - everyone who wants to be Lego, can be Lego! Minifigures can be found to fit, I'm sure.

There are most definitely generic astronaut ones though - I'm sure I had one as a kid. \o/

There are TONS of Lego astronauts with a variety of different designs. I'm sure one could be found to fit Sariel.

Okay, now I'm intrigued. Sariel as a Lego astronaut... i'm grinning here.

There never were any official Star Trek Legos, but the Nazgul has made custom ones and has pictures of them. Unfortunately, none of them quite fits Sariel -- they are Data, Picard, Riker and Worf.

Actually, we don't get the movie here before April, the Nazgul says -- so the later it is, the better the chance that I have seen it and can milk it to the full efficiency. Lego Hannibal anyone? Lego Thénardiesse?

April is a completely stupid month for me, but I'm good with whatever. If it's going to be a freeform thing, it could likely run until whenever - but this is me speaking having absolutely no thoughts, so far, on what to do with it so I will try to marshal all that into some kind of order in a couple of weeks time. :)

Though now I am all hehehehehe, we should have some evil Legos and some good ones (and some complete tools, like Batman) and it would be fabulous.

Well, the plot of the movie is probably not that important in order for everybody to be Legos. And yes, there could be sides. I also like the idea that there is an assignment to complete to neutralise the artefact Lego. The evil ones would have some reason to prevent that, or keep at least some of the patrons Lego-shapes and sized...
