but not having the game to try them out.
Ahh, I was wondering why I hadn't seen you playing any LBP.
I was thinking about working my way through the tutorials and start working on my levels again. But now I wonder if it might be better if I play the story first, and unlock some extra stuff for level creation. Is there anything worthwhile to unlock in the story that is of good use for level creating?

It's definitely worth it to go through the single player levels first. Tons of materials, objects, sickers, and sounds to gather (plus cool outfits!). You can't go wrong, as you'll build your arsenal of objects and materials to use through the creation mode and make your levels a bit more visually pleasing!
That said, I still have four Kratos codes for NA users, if you're interested, please PM me! Or if you know someone else on another forum, PM me and I'll give you the code to pass along.
That image importing feature that was supposed to be coming in the next LittleBigPlanet patch? It's probably not going to happen, after all. The Community Manager has made a comment on the official European PlayStation forums to say that while "image importing is very much technically viable ... there are currently no plans to introduce it for a variety of reasons.
"Announcements of future content releases, whether free, paid for, feature update, costume, sticker or whatever will always come through the official websites for LittleBigPlanet and Media Molecule, if you hear of updates through any other source please take it with a pinch of salt until it has been confirmed or denied." So while it's not ruled out for good, don't expect to see it coming any time soon. Better plug that PlayStation Eye back in -- it's your only method of custom image importing for the foreseeable future.
I want to tell you about this very interesting company called Sony... but you better sit down and read it yourself: http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/11/04/currently-no-plans-for-littlebigplanet-image-importing/
It's probably a battle between the techies, the business people and legal.
I think it's legal, as well as the fact that they will see decreased revenue from sticker packs over the internet if users are able to generate and distribute their own sticker packs. It would make DLC pretty much pointless for this game, IMO.
MM can add stuff that other people can't, like different materials, different clothing options for sackboy, new decorations, maybe even new tools and components (and allow people to play with the new stuff, but not build with it). They don't have to be stingy with stickers to wring people out with DLC.
