Weekly Set Re-Review: Crusader's Cart
Ben E. 5 IX 10
Join the weekly Classic Castle set review discussion.
Please post your opinions on the set play ability, piece selection, design, etc.
Which sets stand up to our catapult of critique and which ones crumble in shame!
This week’s set is 1877 Crusader’s Cart.
Crusader’s Cart, part of Variety Pack 1675, was released in 1990.
This was the last Forestman cart to appear in LEGO castle.
The cart carries hay and has a secret compartment to hide a forestman.
Two forestmen, a saddle, a pitchfork, a whip, and various weapons are included.
Set 1680 is identical to 1877 except it has an additional forestman with a red collar.

Vayland Dragon redux
Bruce 31 VIII 10
In 2008, Patrick Biggs was invited to enter the BBC Contest 50: The Big Show,
an invitational showdown of the best Bionicle builders on BZPower.
Entrants were voted on by BrickFair attendees, and Patrick's Vayland Dragon came out on top.
He still wasn't quite satisfied with it, so this year he tore it down and rebuilt it, largely from scratch.
The resulting Vayland Dragon 2.0 is even better,
and once again he's taking home prizes, winning "Best Bionicle" at this year's BrickFair.
As you may have guessed, the title is a tribute to Bryce McGlone, who Patrick credits with helping him out and inspiring his building.
Patrick is an active member of BZPower.
His MOCs can be found in his Flickr stream and his
Brickshelf gallery.

A use for the semi-circles...
Trevor 26 VIII 10
We have become quite familiar with Katie Walker's (eilonwy77)
elaborate patterns
but castle builders really need to stand up and take notice this time.
Stained glass windows have long been a large part of many castle MOC's but in the past we have had to use transparent colour brick and plate;
the more ingenius builders have done some wonderful S.N.O.T.work but Katie's cheeseslope stained glass window is one of those developments that only come around once in a while.
