Re: Barrel Escape Exclusivity?

It's a TRU exclusive here in Canada too. I spent days looking for one not at a TRU and came up short. It was ironically the only hobbit set my son wanted and at the store that didn't have it on sale. I will say though it's a great set. The Barrels stay in place and the jail release is cool too.

Re: Helm's Deep - Treat Yourself

Treat yourself day isn't until October 13. But if I'm going to buy any new set for myself this year it will be this one!

Re: What's your castle lego collection look like?

I'm in the same boat as most. I have all the sets from 1984-1990 I'm just missing the non-forestmen carts and the two boats (6017 & 6049). I plan on getting them someday, right now they just don't fit into the scheme of things. I have the grey wall sets and Black Falcon Castles (6073 & 6074)...

Re: Faction of the Knight from the Guarded Inn (6067)

The one in 6041 is confounding, though. He's clearly got Crusader heraldry on his shield and flag, so there's not much question that he's a Crusader... Except that his torso's blue and his helmet is black, which are staples of Black Falcon fashion! So, he breaks all the rules for Crusader torso col...

Re: Trends in Classic Castle from 1984 to 1990

I cannot for the life of me get any discussion going here. I think I am too thorough that I cover everything. Anyhow, I now own all the 1987 sets. Besides Battering Ram and Camouflaged Outpost, the small sets are adding next to nothing but extra units to my set. The boats have very little practical...

Faction of the Knight from the Guarded Inn (6067)

I was reading another blog/article recently that took for granted that the knight that comes with 6067 was a Lion Knight (Crusader). I always assumed he was a Black Falcon Knight stopping by at the Inn and that was just that. My rational was due to his colour scheme is more Black Falcon than Lion Kn...

Re: Building a 6080 King's Castle from spare parts

I did see that auction too, and agree I didn't like the look. But he made the Castle as a reverse grey/black scheme and I found the reversed black really stood out and that is what I didn't like. When I build the castle I'm going to keep it all grey with a litte black thrown in where it makes sense ...

Re: Building a 6080 King's Castle from spare parts

I'm currently in the process of completing a Grey version of Black Monarch';s Castle (6085). I have scavenged pieces from incomplete lots of 6080, 6073 and 6085, and I I have acquire some pieces off bricklink too (grey macaroni pieces). The one part I'm really missing are the corner walls as I haven...

Re: Average Price for 80s Castle minifigs

Thanks for the replies. I was thinking it was more $2.50-$3.00 US for a figure and couldn't figure out why a set of 25 mainly black knight soldier minifigures went for over $83.00 recently. (I thought I'd win at $75).

Average Price for 80s Castle minifigs

I have been into collecting Castle Lego for a few months now and I am nearing the end of collecting sets. Now I would like to collect more minifigs just Black Falcons, Lion Knights (Crusaders), Black Knights, and Forestmen. I am just curious to know the average price for a fully equipped figure of e...

Re: If you could bring back any Castle Subtheme...

I would pick Black Falcons. The new Joust set has a Black Falcon shield/knight and would be a good way to reintroduce the line. Besides the BF never had a big castle and could finally get one!

Re: What were your first Castle sets

My first set was bought during a vacation in Florida at a Kmart that was across the street from our hotel. It was none other than 6016 Knight's Arsenal. I thought it was a great set it came with lots of weapons and was my first horse. Looking back it's a pretty lame set. (I remember I couldn't get t...
