WalMart clearance
Hey everybody, In the last week or so, I've been to a few walmarts in my area (North Carolina) and wanted to give you guys a heads upon some new markdowns I've been seeing. Several themes are getting marked down including Alien Conquest(if your store still has any), Monster Fighters and some City an...

Re: How do you display your minifigs?
I've been thinking about screwing a baseplate to the wall and mounting the figures vertically instead of horizontally. I also want to see if vertical baseplates will hold my Slave-1s up for display and play around with some vertical construction ideas.

Re: CC Set Review: 6066 Camouflaged Outpost
I remember losing my 12 year old mind when this came out. Had to mow quite a few yards to get the money for it, but it was (and is) totally worth it. Still one of my all time favorite sets. If I remember right, FIRST: Forestmen set, brown horse, leaf parts, and standalone Legoland castle structure. ...

Re: Mill Village Raid (Personal review)
Great set, great review. I just opened and built mine last week. I've had it for a little over a year (walmart after xmas clearance $35), waiting alongside 10193 for me to get my toy room in order to have a place to properly diplay these great sets. It's very rare for me to keep a set built; sets us...

Re: Harry Potter Durmstrang Ship 4768 - Black Falcon shield?
Are there any other examples of classic heraldry being reused in bley-era sets? Not quite the same, but the classic space logo was reuesed/modified in a Space Police set as a statue and reworked onto a jacket design torso used widely in the City Series (it even comes in classic red and I think whit...

What's your favorite non-castle torso?
There's a lot of great torsos that have been made for non castle sets that look really good in castle displays. Jedi torsos make great peasants; and the HP sets have wizards, lovely ladies, and the quidditch players are great starts for rangers or fighters. so, what's your favorite minifig torso tha...

Re: CC Set Review: 6004 Crossbow Cart
I don't really care for this set (another silly mini-siege engine), but here's what I do like: 1. Several crossbows, a quiver, and 2 shields; always a plus to get more gear than minifigs can carry. 2. The minifig itself. I would've liked to have seen that torso recolored and recycled like the other ...

Re: Weekly Set Review: [MOC] Blacksmith Shop
The thread that won't die!!! I, like everybody else, love this set. Nothing to add to all the full-throated praise heaped upon this worthy jem in the Lego Kingdom. Thanks for recalling this thread Ernst1963. I just re-built this set(maybe for the 7th time) last week, prepping myself for a marathon m...

Re: CC Set Review: 6017 King's Oarsmen
I agree with everything Athos said; great small set with great parts and inspiring playability. It's also a great companion set for 6049 Viking Voyager.

Re: Colour of visors of set 0015
I was able to get 0015 as a child and always preferred the black visor with the blue torso and the red visor with the red arms and legs. I even display my copy of 6083 with those visor/torso combinations.
