Re: CCC IX Wooden Castle - Woodsman Fortress

Nicely done. My favorite part has to be the perimeter fence.

Re: LOTR and the hobbit lego

I wouldn't take it as a confirmation of Kingdoms continuing, but according to this Twitter chat http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/thebrickshow/~3/lCWU1kC1DBw/more-lego-kingdoms-sets-coming-in-2012 the castle line will continue at least, alongside LOTR (I know, its desperate times when one relies on Tw...

Re: LOTR and the hobbit lego

I understand the hesitation many have about LOTR LEGO. Higher prices and an end (probably) to kingdoms are both big downers :( Guess I will be stocking up on the Joust set. However, if LEGO designs these sets right (I think they will since they know how much potential money is riding on this theme) ...

The Skeleton King

This is my knights quest entry to the CCC9. Evil does not sleep. While our knight knew this, he never thought he would experience it first hand. From his evil throne, a necromancer put a curse on the knights beloved king. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/BTappel/CCC9/ResizeForForum/p1000407resize.j...

Re: The Decline of Lego Castle?

I would say LEGO castle is not in decline. Not even a little bit. Since kingdoms started we have seen new helms, barding, figures, animals, etc. Overall, the sets have been great. Kingdoms alone is what brought me back into the LEGO world. If the LOTR rumors are true I will be sad to see kingdoms go...

Re: CCCIX-Black Falcon Siege Tower

Great idea to trample the vegetation. Just one question, did they have to push that heavy thing to reach the wall?!

Love the rocks, and the bridge is not too bad either. Good luck in the contest.

Re: An Email to Lego

Well my mistake then. But the point remains that the Hobbit is for younger folk, book and movie. Considering that it doesn't have the extended scenes of violence that LOTR has, I could definitely see Lego licensing it. I agree that they could do Hobbit sets instead of LOTR, and that would be more g...

Re: An Email to Lego

LOTR was an R film, and a fairly mature adult/graphic violence one at that. The Hobbit is a kids book, and the film makers are doing it as such. I heard it was planned as a PG or PG-13 film. A quick google search will show LOTR was rated PG-13. Yes the Hobbit book was intended for younger audiences...

Re: An Email to Lego

Yes the Hobbit movie is coming in 2012. I suppose you could say LOTR is pure speculation, but a lot of people seem sure of it. It reminds me of last year when the rumor was of a windmill with new animals. That rumor was obviously true, so I am leaning towards this one being true as well. Call me gul...

Re: An Email to Lego

I have thought about the email some more, and here is my new theory. The email hints at more castle sets coming in 2012, but does not specifically say it is kingdoms. I take this to mean that kingdoms is over :( and it will be replaced by another castle theme. I am sad to see kingdoms go, but judgin...
