Withdrawing from CCC VI

After much planning, building and pestering Architect with questions, I won't be able to enter CCC VI after all. On November 28, my father suddenly passed away. He had an undetected congenital heart defect and enlarged heart, and it simply...stopped. He was only 54. I haven't had an opportunity to p...

Hi Ben, Thanks for replying to my previous questions. I did have another one though. In the "chivalry" entry, I know that you only want one knight; otherwise the MOC would turn into a "battles" contest. Is it permissible to have more than one enemy, though? For instance (and this...

Its nice to see some1 else makes an interest in these old Ideabooks which were amazing Been too long, LEGO should make a new one I agree! Of course for most of us this forum and others serve as our inspiration now, although the idea books were and still are awesome. Edit - 150 posts - Apprentice!

Interesting thread. I knew that injection molding was more expensive up front, but I didn't know that resin was more expensive in the long run, although that makes sense. When I first got into model railroading years ago many manufacturers had resin kits, but many of them of gotten out of it since. ...

It would be nice to see more elements on PAB. What I would particularly like to see is the return of the old accessory packs on S@H, such as this or this . That way, Lego could avoid individual piece handling for parts that we would likely need multiples for anyway, and we could get the pieces that ...

Hmm, I missed this thread previously. While I may be biased coming from a Pirate Lego background, I've always liked Lego ships of any kind, historical or semi-historical ones particularly. I would love to see the Crownies get a ship too - a large one preferably, like a carrack, although a smaller on...

More than anything, the colour of the Queen fig intrigues me. The current fantasy Knights have typically been dark and light blue, whereas this queen fig is a neutral tone. Moreover, unlike the crown princess and the jester, the Queen fig doesn't seem to have the crown insignia on her torso. Could ...

Hi Ben, Thanks for running this awesome contest again! The prizes look good, too. I have one question though - for the Castle category, does the castle have to be a traditional quadrangular castle with a surrounding curtain wall, or can it be another fortified place like a fortified town with castle...

A Renaissance MOC! Very awesome. As others have mentioned, the combination of old and new brown works well here. I like the way you've made your doors, especially the large ones on the wooden outbuilding. The torsos are very well done, as are the cannons with their iron-reinforced wheels (just like ...

My calendar cauldron has also been defaced. I am curious why they are taking the effort to do so, as Fabuland isn't exactly a stain on their name. It's all about branding. Fabuland, while certainly a great line, hasn't been around in YEARS. Rebranding their moulds to say LEGO is a better business m...

I was wondering about the change too. Thanks for clarifying that, Tony. I prefer the standard look myself, but the new (old) look is nice, too.

Ah, what an awesome set! Thank you Lego! Considering that my birthday is in February, I know already what I want for my birthday!

Thanks again, Lego! Sets like these in Castle (and Pirates, too!) are always welcome.
