Re: Dear Lego....

What i miss most about old sets is the large qty of brick pieces, there would be a few specialized panels, but mostly, your castle walls would be built brick by brick. It allowed so much more flexability. The object of lego play is to be creative and build new things. The sets these days are so lim...

Lego Feedback on Castle 2013

I loved reading the "behind-the-scenes" posts on this forum about the reasons behind the Fantasy Era decisions. I would love if we could get a similar perspective on Kingdoms and the newly released Castle sets. I don't know if anyone still has those connections, but I'm a sucker for that k...

Re: Orthanc

I thought this needed its own thread, since people like me, who don't want to slog through a 10 page LoTR thread, would miss it otherwise. FBTB and eurobricks are reporting a new (almost UCS style) Orthanc set: Blarg! Lego I hate you! Releasing new LOTR sets... alongside new Castle sets... and now ...

Re: The Detail of Minifigure Printing

I have a love/hate relationship with the current generation of minifigs. I love how beautiful and detailed they are, but the cruel marketers at Lego know to split them all up exclusively between sets so you have to buy all the sets or pay a ridiculous price on Ebay/Bricklink for them secondhand. The...

Re: The OTHER 2012 Lego Castle

Ah, I love the Monster Fighter's Castle, especially since it contains several minifigs that I want. The only downside, for me, is that it comes with that silly car. That's the thing I don't like about the Atlantis/Pharoah Quest/Monster Hunters/etc. themes. They come with these bizarre modern(ish) th...

Re: LEGOLAND Billund

My wife and I happened to find ourselves in Florida last week and went to LEGOland Florida. We took 1,550 photos--WOW! Still trying to pare those down into something manageable. I loved the experience and would certainly love to go to the Denmark LEGOland. Loved your photos!

Re: New member and castle collection pics

Hi Badgrass: I thoroughly enjoyed your site and read your entire story of your Lego history. One thing I noticed that puzzled me though--you describe this world of Altaria, and even have maps, but you refer to contemporary locations like North and South America, Europe, etc. Anywho, great little sit...
