I’m not sure about expansion – I’m more into the architecture, buildings, and traps than the vehicles, and the only two buildings from the line that aren’t currently incorporated are 2996, Adventurer’s Tomb (which is basically just a doorway) and 5919, Valley of Kings (which feels like a stripped-down version of 5958, Mummy’s Tomb).…Read more

I’ll take a look at this – I have to scrap most of what I’ve been working with anyhow, as after some tinkering, the sarcophagus is too shallow to snugly fit a minifigure, and the edge of the lid still clips on the antistuds holding the slopes if I try to make it seal cleanly.

The parts are just starting to come in now, and I have to give major props to Josh and Greg for helping me fix my sarcophagus build. The balloon and truck are classic Adventurers elements, but the temple was the main draw for me – and my budget for this project has been stretched enough as it is. Still, maybe for the future…

Is this what you mean? If I do this, then there’s nothing for the grille slope to attach to.

Everything seemed to map out in Studio, but when I put it together I found that the headlight bricks I was using for an antistud connection are too wide…Read more

I’ve also added a (somewhat crude) brick-built recreation of the classic sarcophagus.

Truly, the gem of 1998 (and I’d say that even without the nostalgia goggles)!

Really, the bulk of it is just remaking the instructions 1-for-1 and forgoing printed elements. But I did have fun with the crocodile statues!

Problem is, complete copies tend to hover at around $300+ on BrickLink. I was messing around in Stud.io when I decided to try to rebuild the main temple part of the set – no side builds – with the modern brick…Read more

Really, most of my builds are just from the box sets, but I’ll get some pictures of my custom Kingdom Hearts stuff.

The other creatures included are a Gelatinous Cube, Displacer Beast, and Owlbear.

Keith – It looks like the Mimic gift with purchase is sold out! It was very popular. However, it uses fairly basic parts and the instructions should be available via PDF on Lego’s website! I think, when I was parting it…Read more

I’m a huge Castle fan, and I really like the dungeon/tower build of the D&D set…but not much else. Would anyone be interested in splitting the set? I would be looking to hold on to the dungeon/tower build; the dragon, minifigures, accessories, monster mini-builds and possibly the inn would be up…Read more

I completely missed the replies. I’m in the Strip; I like making tableaus from Castle, Adventurers, and (most recently), Sonic sets. I’ve also made some custom Kingdom Hearts minifigs and a Hollow Bastion diorama that I’m trying to figure out how to convert onto a MILS plate.
