Here's a few photos of the Lost figures, for those of you who haven't seen them yet. They look great! Each figure comes with a cardboard backdrop and a small box that plays a couple of quotes from the show.


Charlie, writing "LATE" on his finger tape. He says, "Guys... where are we?" "You don't know me? I'm a bloody rock god!" and sings "You All Everybody... You All Everybody..."


Hurley on his two-hole golf course. He says, "Welcome to the first... and hopefully last, Island Open," "Don't! Stop! The numbers are bad!" and "Dude, I'm starving... I'm no where NEAR that hungry."


Locke, standing over the hatch, holding a knife and a water bottle. He says, "I looked into the eye of the island, and what I saw was beautiful," "Don't tell me what I can't do, EVER!" and "Do you want to know a secret?"



Jack, standing on some wreckage of the plane. He says, "Everybody wants me to be a leader, until I make a decision they don't like," "There's something that you need to know... We're going to have a Locke problem, and I have to know that you've got my back," and of course, "If we can't live together, we're going to die alone."



Kate, standing in the reeds where she hid from the monster in the pilot. She says, "JACK!" (followed by thunder and rain), "1... 2... 3... 4... 5..." "If you're thinking about going for the cockpit, I'm going with you," and "I only made out with him because torturing him didn't work."



Shannon, lying on the beach shortly after the crash. The top is cut off, but that's Boone in the white t-shirt on the backdrop. She says, "What's a four-letter word for 'I don't care'?" "The plane had a black box, idiot... I'll eat on the rescue boat," and "You want my information? Name: Shannon Rutherford. Age: 20. Address: Craphole Island."




This is a close up of Locke and Jack from the Hatch playset. The scene is right after they blow the hatch door open, at the very end of the first season finale. Kate and Hurley are in the background.



Another close up of the hatch scene, this time with all four characters shown.



This is a wide shot of the hatch set. You can't see it in this picture, but there's a light inside the hatch opening that shines straight up in a column, like it did in the show (although I think the light was only in the episode where Boone dies and Locke pounds on the hatch door).



All in all, they're pretty cool. Series two comes out this spring, I believe, and will feature Sawyer, Sun, Jin and Mr. Eko.




At long last, here is the information from the back of puzzle #2 - The Others. This is the lower left corner of the blast door map, featuring The Swan and some speculation on The Flame. Personally, I think this is the most interesting section so far. Here's the text:

low frequency exploration - possible site for ground study of flora
low relevance to valenzetti-related research activity

possible recreations area for DIHG survey teams

no safe location for dharmatel servers/hub/cabling or infrastructure

alleged location of aborted #7
large number of underground springs/heavy water table

- CVI highly unlikely

activity unsuitable for DIHG

alleged location of #4 The Flame
but unlikely due to cerebrus activity

of cerebrus system (this is cut off by the edge of the puzzle, and must be part of a larger note)

Cogito ergo doleo (translation: I think, therefore I suffer)

CVI
system wide failure of dharmatel intranet
4.08.00, 8.15.01, 01.06.05
- complete
in et (these last two lines are cut off by the edge of the puzzle)

PRD: every 6 - 8 months
- fatalities

The Swan
(4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42)
site of HG Dele
inspection 12.07 (these last two lines are cut off by the edge of the puzzle)

multiple escape conduits blocked after incident

Un sit magna,
ita ina deo
(both lines are cut off by the edge of the puzzle, so I'm not sure what the translation is supposed to be - I can't come up with anything that makes much sense... closest that I can figure is something like "It is great, and so it is god.")



There is a circle connected to the drawing of The Swan that says I AM HERE

There is a drawing of The Flame, scribbled out (which is interesting, because it does not appear to be on the map shown in the show). Underneath are three numbers under square root signs: 16, 64, 225 (which would be 4, 8, 15)


This portion of the map seems to have a lot more speculation than the others - probably because The Swan was "home base." My question is - there are several notes about "alleged locations"... alleged by whom?


There is also a code that goes along the bottom of the puzzle and up the right side.

Right side: C2/5 (underlined) C14/8 C21/9 C16/20 C16/13 C10/1+1 C20/1+1 C3/2 C3/2+5 (underlined) C3/2+2 C1/13 C9/2

Bottom: C16/13 (underlined) C20/2 C14/8 C21/9 C7/4+3 C14/8 C11/3 C7/10 C8/3 C3/2+2 (underlined) C11/5 C2/1+4 C10/4 C11/6+5 C10 1+1 C16/1+6 C21/9

Again, there are several that are repeated - C14/8 and C21/9 stick out to me.

Now I'm just waiting for that last puzzle - #4 - Before the Crash!
