Weekly Set Re-Review: Black Falcon’s Fortress
Ben E. 27 VII 08

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 6074 Black Falcon’s Fortress.

This long time favorite was originally released in 1986. The fortress features a symmetrical tower façade, back tower with yellow “Tudor”-wall panel, a drawbridge, hinge opening design, two knights, two archers, and two spearmen.

In 2003, the set was produced again as a “Legend” and is available from Shop at Home for $39.99.


Weekly Set Re-Review: Castle Mini-Figures
Ben E. 21 VII 08

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 15 Castle Mini-Figures.

This six pack of figures was one of two sets released in 1983. 15 is one of the most rare castle sets and was released in the United States. The set features four knights and two soldiers with accessories. Similar knights and soldiers can be found in sets 383 and 677.

Evidence of this set can only be found in catalogs so there is some debate on the leg and hip colors of these figures. LEGO does not have a copy of this set in their "vault" at Billund.

King Leo's Castle was released in 2000 for Knight's Kingdom. This castle has a gate tower with a portcullis and drawbridge, side towers, a throne room, and crossbow stations. King Leo, Queen Leonora, Princess Storm, a soldier, an archer, and a skeleton are included along with various accessories. Two Bull's soldiers attack the castle with their cannon.

Harold arrived in Portland, Oregon earlier this week to visit RebelRock. He went biking, visited Paul Bunyan, ate a reuben, visited the local well monster, and much more! Check out the pictures and leave comments here.


Changes in LEGO Production
Ben E. 12 VII 08

On July 1st, The LEGO Company issued a press release announcing the end of outsourcing element production to Flextronics. We all know there were quality issues during the initial transfer of production to locations outside of Denmark (Czech Republic, Mexico, etc). It is also evident to fans that demand for LEGO products has often not been met in the last two years. It is an encouraging sign that TLG will own, manage, and operate most of their facilities and not a third party.

Please check out the press release and leave your comments in this thread.
