Wonderful, I hadn't thought of the wire core. Great suggestion. You just saved many shields from the garbage pit, including some from the old yellow castle.

I am sorry to say that I have quite a few legos from years of play. In most cases, a handles snap off from the shields due to an ill placed foot. Has anyone had much success in repairing this type of break? Is there a type of glue which works better than others for repairing lego breaks?

Congratulations to the winners. I had a lot of fun with this contest.

I was just thinking last week that there aren't enough yellow castles creations. Looks great.

I really like how you have the king holding the sword. The elegant simplicity of both pieces are magnificent. What is the significance of the key?

I finally got my old chess set overhauled and shrunk down to the required size for the contest.

I'll have to dust off my old chess set, shrink it down and fancy it up to fit the board.

This set is great. The board edging is spectacular. The king and queen need to be taller to reclaim their traditional place as the tallest pieces on the board. It would be great to see more detailed photos of the pieces. Maybe Lego will be easy on the wallet and sell each of the pieces and the board...

I used to make my own lego key chains using the holes in technic bricks to hold the key ring. The studs would usually wear off, and I would need to glue the pieces together to keep them from falling apart in my pocket. They would last 3-5 years before they were worn beyond all recognition. I was giv...

I like the new sets better than the knights' kingdom, but they are still look a bit cartoony to me.

I always played with them in cahoots with the falcon knight against the lion knights to make things even, so they were bad.

Thanks for the reply,
While I normally don't like applying stickers, a part of me was thrilled to see the blank shields. I am also happy to see all of the "new" special parts that I didn't have before.

I just purchased the Royal King's Castle from Lego shop at home. When opening up the box I saw the stickers for the shield designs and the blank shields. While it has been a 5 or 6 years since I've purchased a castle set :oops: ,I haven't seen stickers for shields since I got the yellow castle in th...

This was one of my favorite sets when it came out back in my prime castle building days. This set brings back all the wonderful memories from my golden age of lego building.
