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!

Here are some images from puzzle #2, The Others.

This fantastic photo of the entire puzzle is courtesy of dennis of The Lost Community. Thanks, dennis!

The image has a question mark in the center (looks to me like the question mark from the blast door map). Off of that is a web of connected images, featuring scenes of the Others.

Top left corner (clockwise from corner) - Jack, Kate, Sawyer and Hurley being held on the dock by Miss Klugh and company; a close up of Jack's profile (looks like Locke in the background?); Tom holding Kate hostage in the jungle; Miss Klugh sitting in the fake beach village; Danny holding up a syringe (in the beach village). In the background is black smoke rising over the rock formation that Michael led them to on the return trip to the fake beach village.

Top right corner (clockwise from top left) - Close up of Jack's profile; the teddy bear in the jungle; the legs of the kids dragging the teddy bear; Ethan fighting Locke; Alex with Claire; Ethan giving Claire an injection in the Staff; Ben as Henry Gale with the arrow through his shoulder; Miss Klugh in the fake beach village; Tom holding Kate hostage in the jungle. The center image is Ethan testing a syringe in the Staff.

Middle of puzzle, left side (clockwise from top left) - Danny holding up a syringe; Miss Klugh in the fake beach village; Ben as Henry Gale with the arrow through his shoulder; the question mark; the two Others "standing guard" at the fake beach hatch; Miss Klugh about the hit Michael; a sign from the community room in the Staff: Rec Room Rules, Listen and Respect Others; Tom talking to Ethan in the Staff. The center image is Tom with his fake beard.

Middle of the puzzle, right side (clockwise from top left) - Miss Klugh in the fake beach village; Ben as Henry Gale with the arrow through his shoulder; Alex with Claire; Others in the operating room in the Staff; Others in the fake beach village; Others in the fake beach village (sorry about the glare!); legs in front of a fire (during the raid on the tail section, I think); the question mark; Tom with his fake beard. The images in the center are the "vaccine" injection bottles and Ben as Henry Gale in the Swan.

Bottom left corner (clockwise from top left) - Miss Klugh about to hit Michael; legs in front of fire (from raid on the tail section, I think); Tom in disguise on the boat that atatcked the raft; a hand holding a "vaccine" bottle; the flash from the gun fired on the boat at the raft; Walt being taken aboard the boat; Goodwin with the spear through him; Goodwin investigating the fallen Others from the raid on the tail section; an Other in the fake beach village (I'll try to find a better picture of him - he appears to be younger than most of the Others, and at first glance, I thought he might be the elusive Carl). The images in the center are the fake beach village, and Eko fighting an Other during the raid on the tail section. Outside of the boxes are an image of the four-toed statue and the list from Miss Klugh, featuring the names Jack Shephard, Kate Austen, Hugo Reyes and James Ford.

Bottom right corner (clockwise from top left) - legs in front of fire (from the raid on the tail section, I think); Others in the beach village (this is the image with the glare in the photo of the middle right); the Others holding Michael (Alex is on the far left); Tom in disguise, sitting in the entrance to one of the beach huts; Tom and Miss Klugh on the dock; Walt being taken aboard the boat; the flash of the gun fired on the boat at the raft; the fake beach village; Tom in disguise on the boat that atatched the raft. The image in the center is a hand holding a "vaccine" bottle. Outside of the squares are images of the four-toed statue and the Pala Ferry sign.

The background of the puzzle is just jungle. I'll post the information from the back of this puzzle soon!

Okay, the back of puzzle #3 is the lower righthand corner of the blastdoor map, featuring speculation about the pearl station.

Here are the notes as they appear on the puzzle:

stated goal - repatriation (that may not be right, because I don't think it's a word, but I couldn't get anything else out of it)
accelerated deterritorialization of ursus maritimus through gene therapy and extreme climate change

high potential for RVS facility

subterranean conduit

primary nexus of cerebrus activity

known final resting place of magnus hanso/black rock

activity minimal during lockdown and restocking procedures

no connection to island-wide EEP Network

possible CVII - inactive since accident

REV-4.3.02 possible location of zoological research facility

sightings coincide with emergency shutdown of intronet service, periods of heightened security


The code on the back goes in one line across the bottom of the map, and then up the right hand side.

Bottom:
C12/8 C20/1+2 C7/2 C10/1+1 C20/4 C12/3 C14/2 C17/1 C8/8 C10/1+2 C7/2 C3/4 C2/7 C12/3 C5/1 C7/2 C18/2+5

Side:
C21/1+10 (underlined) C3/1 C7/2 C10/1+1 C20/2 C10/5 C6/2 (underlined) C11/3 C1/1 C9/2 C7/1 C10/4 C14/2 C6/11 C13/1+8 C16/13 C3/1 (underlined) C10/4 C8/8 C3/4 C5/1


Again, there are a couple of repeats that stick out to me. C7/2 appears a few times, as does C3/4.


I'm on vacation until this weekend, and I'll work on puzzle #1, the Others, when I get back!

Here are some pictures of puzzle #3 - The numbers! It's mostly just pictures of places where the numbers have appeared throughout the show.














































In the 4 - Leonard playing Connect Four, the four-toed statue, Desmond's injection bottle and a jukebox listing for Driveshaft's "You All Everybody"

In the 8 - Hurley, the numbers on the side of the Hatch, the lottery sign, a hand holding a microphone, Rousseau's notes with the numbers written over and over
















In the 1 - the numbers on the hatch computer, Henry Gale's ID (the real Henry Gale), a Nebraska license plate

In the 5 - a ticket from Oceanic airlines, part of the blast door map mentioning the "intranet," Hurley's alarm clock, the lottery ticket, Hurley's hotel room door, Emily Locke's driver's license, two police cars
















In the 1 - the Virgin Mary statues, a police car, an id with picture (the real Henry Gale)

In the 6 - Hurley's speedometer, the numbers on the hatch computer, a ticket for a dance party, a hand playing Backgammon
















In the 2 - The combination lock on the weapons room, the countdown clock in the hatch, a gates sign from the airport, a clock

In the 3 - A police car, a thermometer, a game (looks like mousetrap, maybe?)















In the 4 - Locke's crossword puzzle, the lottery ticket

In the 2 - a speedometer, the numbers in the hatch, a letter to Desmond, a police car

The background of the puzzle looks like water and behind the first 4 is what looks like a message in a bottle. The first part says "I survived and" and near the bottom it looks like it may say "Ford," so this may be Sawyer's letter. (?)


I will post more later with the notes and code from the back of the puzzle!

I finally took the time to get out the trusty flashlight and make that image on the back of The Hatch puzzle glow again so that I could copy down the code. Here it is:

First section (the first grouping on each line is underlined):
C12/1+3 C14/8 C21/9 C6/1 C1/5 C7/37 C6/1 C2/5

C21/9 C14/8 C18/2 (I think it's a 2 - this one was hard to read) C20/1+1 C12/1+3 C12/6+5 C12/2

C2/8 C10/1+1 C8/2 C11/1+3


Second section (the first grouping on each line is underlined):
C10/4 C11/2 C8/2+5 C2/7 C21/4

C18/3 C7/2 C11/3 C10/8 C8/2


Third section (no underlines):
C14/1 C3/1 C10/4 C9/2 C7/4+3 C1/5 C5/1 C7/37 C7/1 C10/8

C12/6+5 C14/8 C2/7 C1/13 C16/6+9 C9/2 C12/2 C14/8 C21/9 C10/4 C8/8 C7/8

C2/5 C16/13 C10/1+1 C10/1+2 C10/4 C12/1

C14/1 C1/1 C9/2 C3/1 C5/2 C3/1+5 C15/1

C20/2 C6/1 C12/2 C14/1+3


I do notice a couple that repeat - C9/2 and C14/8 stick out to me.


This section of the blast door map features the Arrow station. Here are some of the notes found on the back:

possible offshore data dump

intranet
this border? (this is right on the edge of the puzzle, so it may be part of a longer note)

primary function
restocking & staging area for DIHG

hub of DIHG
road system or other major route of overland travel?

suspected shutdown 10-28-84

final destination in case of code 42?

possible terminal for subterranean EFP tunnel network


The image takes up the lower lefthand corner of the back of the puzzle, so this is the upper righthand piece of the blastdoor map.


I'm working on puzzle #3 - The Numbers right now, and I'll post pictures as soon as I'm done!

Okay, everyone - this is my first blog post EVER. It's amazing what TLE has taught me. :)

Here are some pictures of the front of the Hatch puzzle.

****Spoiler Warning**** If you have not seen all of season two, proceed with caution - there are some images from the finale.




Here is the complete puzzle - sorry for the glare!

In case you can't tell, the images are (clockwise from top)
Inner Ring: Light shining up from hatch, Jack and Locke looking down the hatch after blowing it open, a hand holding Turn of the Screw, a painting of trees, a drawing of the execute button, Henry Gale leaning over Locke (when the blast door came down on his leg), a hand writing, Desmond with a gun
Outer Ring: the countdown clock, set to 108, Charlie looking at records, the computer room (someone is standing in the corner, but I can't make out who), Desmond pointing a gun at Locke (who is sitting at the computer), the mural, the hatch after the explosion (someone is laying on the floor - see below), DHARMA food, the Quarantine sign
Corners: See below for top corners
bottom left: Michael after shooting Libby and Ana Lucia
bottom right: the orientation film can
left side: the hieroglyphics on the timer
right side: a Geronimo Jackson record and the bottle of medicine that Desmond injected himself with

This is the top left corner, with images from the orientation film, Henry Gale in the vent, a box of DHARMA mac & cheese, the photo of Desmond and Penny, Charlie's belt stuck to the magnet and the books The Third Policeman and Incident at Owl Creek Bridge

This is the top right corner, with images from the blast door map, Kelvin drawing, Alvar Hanso, Kelvin in his haz-mat suit, the book Our Mutal Friend, Jack's key going for the magnet and the hieroglyphics again.

This is the picture of the hatch after the explosion. I can't tell who is laying on the floor, but I think it is Eko.

The back of the map showed images from the blast door map - specifically, the upper right corner featuring the Arrow Station.
