Re: Castle 2016?
I'm one of the ones hoping fantasy has run its course in the castle line. I'm more of a human v. human fan. I can't really explain it, the dwarves, trolls, and undead that I have piles of just don't do anything for me. When I set up a scene or display I always go to my human factions and the fantasy...

Re: London Toy Fair reports - no castle
It would be a great disappointment for me if any future castle sets contained flesh tone figures. It has been laborious enough brick-linking yellow heads to replace all of those in the LotR-Hobbit sets.

Re: Battle of the Castle Sets: 7187 vs 70402
I had to go with 70402 simply because of its modularity and the fact that it can be incorporated into 70404. Two sets go great with a single castle. I'd love for any future castle sets to take advantage of such a construction technique! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/Zelkfried/LEGO%20Castle%2...

Re: Elves
I picked up one of almost everything from the original Disney Princess line. I substituted the minidolls for proper yellow figures and incorporated the 'colorful' landscape into my castle world. I plan on doing the exact same thing with this Elves line. It's just a far-off land that some of my more ...

Re: 6085 Black Monarch's Castle vs 6080 King's Castle
At first I thought it would be a tough decision, but then it became clear. It might be superficial, but the shield/lance decor on the KC is just so attractive. Also, as rogue27 mentioned, KC's ability to expand via other modular sets is a feature I wish would be explored more fully even today.

Re: April Fools Day Joke
Ooo, very clever if true. I don't pass through CC anymore as much as I'd like to, but I certainly stopped by to check in on their classic april fools day pranks.

Re: The Worst King
King Morcia hands down. He has awful taste! His soldiers look like jelly beans and his castle *shiver*. He attaches catapults to horses! Need I say more??

Re: LOTR and the hobbit lego
I do plan on changing all of my flesh tone LotR heads to yellow, so I am going to have to come up with something else for Legolas. Thankfully the orcs and goblins etc. will still be fine. :]

Re: Favorite Top 3 Lego Castle Sets You Own
1.) 6086: Black Knight's Castle -In my opinion, Lego's best looking castle. The set includes a full gatehouse, numerous interior features like a small building where the knights can eat and drink, and a well! Tons of soldiers, great barding, and awesome heraldry. 2.) 6090: Royal Knight's Castle -My ...

Re: Lego 10223 Kingdoms Joust Exclusive
This is just so awesome that I had to take a breath before scrolling down to each next picture. I have to have two for sure, to complete the back and make that beautiful scene, but a part of me wants four so I could make a complete circle. Oh, and four Black Falcon knights wouldn't hurt. ;]

Re: Weekly Set Re-Review: Knight's Stronghold
A great set for many reasons. As a stand-alone, it offers great playability with the trebuchet that does fire, and it isn't too bad either! A good assortment of minifigs and pieces, and it looks great. When combined with Monarch's Castle you can expand to create a massive fortress. (See my flickr) I...

Re: Weekly Set Review: Prison Carriage Rescue
From the pictures, I really didn't have much enthusiasm toward this set. Once I purchased it and had it completed, it actually changed my mind. Sure, from a plausible standpoint the cart does not make much sense, but as a fun little cart, it is actually kind of charming. It is much more fun now that...

Re: If you could bring back any Castle Subtheme...
I'd love to see a modern version of the Wolfpack. They could have a similiar role with the two new factions as they did with the old, some sort of bandits or mercenaries. They wouldn't need a large hideout, just some camping areas to keep their sets minimal compared to the larger factions with a few...

Re: What were your first Castle sets
I believe the very first Lego Castle set I ever receieved was 6044 King's Carriage . I remember being at my Grandma's house the day I got it, and it must have been a birthday or Christmas. It is still to this day one of my all time favorite Lego carts/wagons/carriages. The 6044 you see in my Flickr ...
