Re: 2025 So Far

...But It's nice and in my opinion easily the best minifig in current series, partly because I find series 27 relatively weak. Got to say it's mostly the shield I'm interested in. Wolf is nice as well. As for trying to get one... I was shopping a few days ago and went to several large supermarkets ...

Thank you. I guess I don't have resizing software on any of these photo apps on my phone. Haha

I believe the entire figure, except the sword, is exclusive to the CMF.

2025 So Far

I'm not the first to re-appear after an absence. I see posts on Facebook and X, but I think forums serve a purpose and they're still a great place to share topic-specific information without the clutter of recipes and political posts. That said, I thought I'd mention the two traditional castle-relat...

Re: 40601 Majisto’s Magical Workshop GWP

This GWP was fine as a concept. I just bought one from eBay for like $40 and skipped the GWP process entirely. My main issues are the minigures, I have no problems with the structure, as a set. I can't say anything that likely hasn't been said already, but I can cope with Majisto, the DM knight is a...

Re: CMF Series 25

Well, most places in my area only seem to have received one box of them. Once those were gone there was no restock anywhere. If I was a kid using my allowance, or whatever, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to buy enough of them to get a reasonable chance of getting the ones I wanted. If you're no...

Re: Minifig Lute Player

I saw it on some video recently that the packaking is indeed changing. Came to think that things like the centaur from some series must have been so easy to find, if any of the bags happened to have it. Now... Will we spot people pulling out gram scales while lego shopping? I'll admit to being guil...

Re: Minifig Lute Player

I don't know... looking through the history of them, I found around 25 that I would consider to be solidly related to Castle and/or fantasy Castle. The CMF knight figures have been pretty great and I'll probably hunt around for an example of the female crown knight once they show up in stores. As to...

Re: What do you think is the worst LEGO Castle set before 19

I guess, as I'm not the one resurrecting a long dead thread, I'd like to cast my vote for 6077: Knight's Procession. If you were looking for an army builder back in the day it was probably fine, but my brother got this set when we were kids and without an opposing faction it was somewhat boring. I b...

Re: 10305 Lion Knight's castle.

My goodness it's been a long time since I posted anything. Honestly, Lego got my attention and eventually my money with this set. The price tag is... high... but I think this is an amazing set and I'd be beside myself if I had owned something like this as a kid. In fact, this set has me so excited t...

Re: Pics of New Hobbit Sets

The parts are great too, and the new mushroom piece is pretty cool.
That mushroom piece is also included in the Harry Potter set, I have considered picking one up because I like the tree and the figures look somewhat useful:

Re: CC Set Review: 6011 Black Knight's Treasure

I think sets like this represent everything that is right about a low price point Castle set. You get a soldier and something for him to do. If you have other sets he can interact with those or be a stand alone for a little adventuring around the Kingdom (house). Little supply wagons and pieces of s...

Re: Pics of New Hobbit Sets

I picked up the Elf Archer and Gandalf polybag sets at TRU today while Christmas shopping for my kids. They are both great sets and worth the money. There were about 10 Gandalf sets but only one Elf set. Pieces are useful and there is actually some neat play value with the Elf set, not so much with ...

Re: Discussion: Knight's Kingdoms vs. Ninjago

I'm going to go ahead and throw my 2-cents in. KK was just a really bad attempt at a new castle line that probably resulted from misreading market research and focus groups. I believe KK was what TLG thought would be a serious attempt. They probably had research showing that realistic castle wouldn'...
