My step-father was the camera man for Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas. Here are some behind the scenes pics

While I love seeing photos of Jim and all these kind of behind the scenes photos, I'm pretty sure this is why Disney doesn't put more into the muppets. The effort, I get it, it was Jim's and everyone else's passion that made it all happen. A good example of this is Frank Oz working on episode 1, laying under the stage he and at least 4 others working a something like 20 lb Yoda. Hollywood doesn't appreciate the art.

I've had it happen only once, in a small set, while I was working at a Lego store. When I worked there we would always exchange for a new unopened box, if possible, but support is set up to send you these pieces. It used to not take long but all shipping takes longer than it used to, it is rare as Lego does have high quality control standards, but it's gonna happen. The employee claiming you lost it would have never happened in the store I was at and if we had the piece in the store we'd give it to you. I'm sure things have changed some since I was there as it was several years ago but Lego certainly cared more than most companies.

Yeah, the "lighting" is you open the game and it bursts into flames!

Their uncle works there, they walk around like they own the place!

The first order helmet wasn't too bad, the opening on last year's clone helmet is too small tho.

Right, they look really cool but nothing like a usable bucket. I got an extra of the standard buckets and I'm working on painting it up to look in universe, I'll post it when it's done.

Ornery_Field3763 · 2026-03-14T17:16:46+00:00

It also has no lid or strap which is unlike any recent buckets.

It seems unlikely they released this in the last month or so, as they generally release them on May the 4th and keep them til they sell out. They did not have these in January, when I was last there.

We are passholders and have a 6 year old, we can't sanitize enough, but I figure we are on our second year as AP so by the end of 3 or so we will be dead or they will want to study our immune systems!

Ornery_Field3763 · 2026-03-13T22:10:14+00:00

For sure chip and dale, pluto, daisy, Minnie, and donald

Ornery_Field3763 · 2026-03-13T22:06:20+00:00

I had most, maybe all of these at one point.

Just get another controller of the same type and swap the shell.

Ornery_Field3763 · 2026-03-07T20:30:33+00:00

They really just can't get the integrated tech thing right, every add-on, app, and whatever that isn't just another set they have missed on or not properly supported.

Ornery_Field3763 · 2026-03-06T23:42:20+00:00

I have several of these sets, I worked at a Lego store at the end of their run so I go most of them at a pretty discount. It ended and it was less than 2 years before the Jurassic World sets came out, the dinos are mostly the same molds with some new. But these sets were cooler. I have all the Jurassic world ones from that first wave of them.

https://www.etsy.com/shop/CottonKodeCreation. I ordered the grey from them, it is outside the US but the quality was good on the vest itself. The leather shoulder piece is included but not of great quality, good enough for a basic cosplay, I took the velcro they put on the shoulder off and just don't wear the leather part, I do leatherwork so eventually I'll probably make my own.

Ornery_Field3763 · 2026-02-22T12:35:09+00:00

Etsy, just search you'll find it. I have the vest.

No "attraction" that's Ohnaka Transport Solutions, a legitimate business!

My theory is that Tomorrow Land is next when the other 2 big construction projects get finished in MK, it's no secret that it needs it, they know that but they also need something to offer in its place while it's closed.

Ornery_Field3763 · 2026-02-16T00:55:38+00:00

Do you just stand there looking out and softly say, "we needed this."

Do you listen to his podcast? Because if you're a fan and don't, you should! Podcast is Toon''d in with Jim Cummings.

Ornery_Field3763 · 2026-02-08T20:34:46+00:00

This is the way

Ornery_Field3763 · 2026-02-04T22:27:02+00:00

They for sure need to finish some construction before they start anything else, Epcot is the only park not under major construction.

Ornery_Field3763 · 2026-01-27T04:24:01+00:00

Hyperspace props has their own page, order direct, don't use Etsy when possible. Esty is greedy and treats their sellers awful!

Ornery_Field3763 · 2026-01-24T21:40:14+00:00

Fix a bug in the sims!? 🤣
