This is great! It really does look like Cid! How about a pic of him inside one of your airships??

Re: custom minifigs...dragoons...

Dragoons have always been my favourite character class from the early FF games -- especially Kain from FFII (or IV). http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/thumb/3/30/Kainds.jpg/609px-Kainds.jpg The Batarang is a pretty good idea to make the helmet look sharp and pointier. As far as t...

Re: Atlantis 7985

Good new! I just spotted this set at a Toys R Us in the USA. It is also on their website, though not currently in-stock for shipping

Re: hi everybody

How's it going? Welcome to Classic-Castle. It took me a while to get around to signing up as well. Hopefully you'll find C-C to be one of the more friendlier LEGO fan websites. While I don't go into the Custom forum often (I'm a bit of a purist with my collection), I do find it interesting to see wh...

LEGO StarCraft Video

Here's a fun little video I found while surfing the Information Super Highway http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=XduXCp91_IA It is not mine, and seeing as it has over 1 million views since July, it is probably old news to a lot of y'all, but I couldn't find it posted on this ...

Re: Whatever Happened to Idea Books??

This one is coming out in october, featuring models and building ideas from yours truely :) and a number of other AFOLs. Hey that actually looks really cool. Given the size, it looks like there should at least be a few pages dedicated to Castle as well. Has LEGO restricted its contents to only curr...

Re: Weekly Set Re-Review: Knight's Stronghold

This was the first Castle structure I had as a kid, and loved every minute of it. First of all, the Black Knights have a great color contrast with the red/blue/yellow dragon shield against the black brick; it really makes the dragon emblem "pop." You also get the only fully-armored (Euro a...

Re: Pink barding question

I got a barding with the King's Castle in June 2010, and a barding with the Prison Tower Rescue in December 2010 (from different parts of the USA), and both are pink. So far, I have yet to receive a torso or barding that is white. Since I don't collect that faction anyway (in part due to colour prob...

Whatever Happened to Idea Books??

LEGO Idea Books have been a great source of inspiration ever since 1980's Idea Book 6000 . The last one I picked up was 1997's 697 , which had a weak Castle page to say the least. TLG, please bring back the Idea Books. The pictures and models were truly inspiring! EDIT: Speaking of which, has anyone...

Re: MOC: Elf Tower (Inspiration: 7947)

Thanks for all the views and comments! It is very encouraging. It looks a lot like a real set that Lego would produce. Yeah that's exactly what I was going for (here and in my other builds): creations that complement my favourite sets rather than overshadow them. But if landscapings just not your th...

Re: Bullet Helm in Metallic Silver

Maybe LEGO could include a metallic silver bullet helm in one of the Collectible Minifigs series, possibly on a knight bearing a classic faction emblem (similar to Series 2 Blacktron Cyborg)?? I mean, Series 4 will give us a Viking helmet in metallic silver, so there is some hope.

MOC: Elf Tower (Inspiration: 7947)

Carved from polished white marble not native to the region, this outpost glistens in a small clearing on the edge of the Elven woodland realm. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/davidant32/Elves/ElfTower/elf_tower_01_small.jpg This is the first MOC I've decided to share here, and believe it or not, i...

Re: Battle Dragon 6018 again.

Well, as far as the whole Crusaders emblem / Black Knights emblem switcheroo, it appears that at some point in 1993 (at least in the US), the Crusaders had conquered the entire Black Knights line-up: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/davidant32/Elves/Castle-Relations/crusaders_small.jpg This is also...
