Re: The Watcher in the Water

No idea why nobody has commented on this yet, it's awesome. Pretty near perfect recreation of the scene from the film, and the rock work in the background is among the best I've seen. I especially like the door itself, but really everything's top notch. Only criticism I have is that the shoreline is...

Re: Giving advice in the LEGO aisle

I offer to help when kids are looking for figs, and a couple of times their parents have asked me to find additional figs after I find the first one. I definitely agree that if you are going fig-feeling you should be well groomed. For me having a good shave and shower is the difference between strap...

Re: Rating the Castle Lines

I think that the top three should be Crusaders, Kingdoms, and Fantasy Castle, based on one sole defining factor, civilians. Basically, these three lines were the only ones with civilian minifigs, and even more impressively each one included at least one female civilian. Notably, the Crusaders had th...

Re: Rivendell [LOTR]

Came back just for a moment and all of a sudden this incredible holy grail of Lego builds is staring me in the face. Even if you never achieve another noteworthy achievement in your life, you two would still have achieved something greater than most people ever will. It is beautiful. Tolkien himself...

Re: Memento mori

Beautiful scene, although I can't exactly tell how purgatory is represented here. I also love that heaven is styled after antiquity, I always thought God had a thing for the Greeks and Romans :P

Re: LCC General Information and FAQ

I have a few questions about MOCs for the project. Firstly, what are we allowed to have in terms of technology? Are we allowed to use cannons, muskets, steam power, galleons, or other renaissance era stuff, or are we on a strict 9th to 11th century scale? Secondly, what about religions. Obviously it...

Re: Garheim Raid

It is quite a nice little MOC, and I must say your minifig posing is immaculate.

Re: Series 6 is in stores with some castle worthy figures.

Dang some people have allot of romans. I have been trying to get 10 of them since the series came out, but frankly every lego store, target, and walmart I've visited have only had one or two (assuming I was correct when I used the feel method on every fig in the display, and I think I was). In all I...

Re: The OTHER 2012 Lego Castle

I may buy a couple of werewolves, mainly because of my attraction of using them in castles, but as mentioned LOTR ate most of my lego budget for the decade.

Re: Medieval Bakery

There is nothing that I don't love about this, but my favorite thing is the irregular base. Also, I may have to borrow and make some varryations of that sign technique.

Re: LOTR and the hobbit lego

You are the exception, and, of course, there are exceptions. I've been an elementary school teacher since the mid 90s, and the children that like either the LOTR movies or books are few and far between, even during the peak of the movie popularity. The most I could ever get out of the kids when men...

Re: LOTR and the hobbit lego

6-10 year olds love Star Wars. 6-10 years do not like LOTR. I disagree. When I was 8, I loved LOTR & utterly despised Star Wars, and I expect that there are plenty of other kids to whom swordfights and large epic battles are more appealing than spaceships and lasers. Not only that, but I bet th...

Re: How many Kingdoms minifigs do you have?

My best guess is something like 30 of each of the lions & dragons, with only a lion princess for royalty, 1 mounted lion, three mounted dragons, plus the jester and the wizard. I also have like 11 peasants from the lineup, with a clearly dispraportionate number of blacksmiths taking center stage...
