Excellent castle design - was the gatehouse meant to resemble a face? I also like how the graveyard is slightly removed from the main action and is very still looking; this gives it a suitably eerie feel. My only criticism would be that the attacking mob are a bit too brightly coloured; it clashes w...

One of the things we have to keep in mind when thinking about Lego is that they are a business. At the end of the day, they exist for the sole purpose of making money. It's just a sad fact they do not exist solely for our enjoyment and well being. While they no doubt do their best to cater to us fa...

1. The King's gone on a crusade. These are the guys he left in charge. The old excuse :wink: How do the defenders get up there? Magic. Well along with the lack of royalty, I don't see any magicians in this set either :P 3. Obviously there's a teeny-tiny moat in front but none in back. Shh....don't ...

Lego used to make castles without catapults stuck all over them??? :twitch: Ahem...well it's difficult to review this set; it's just so ancient. It's contradictory really - if released today, this set would score poorly when it comes to the near total lack of accessories, but because all the accesso...

Lately, NOTHING is reaching the quality we would expect from TLC. :cry: I'm going to have to disagree here. The Medieval Market (10193), Emerald Night (10194), and Fire Brigade (10197) are some of the best designed sets that Lego has ever produced, and the announced Imperial Flagship (10210) have a...

I won't be this categoric, some parts have been known as weak historically, and in the 80's too, but they saw their mold redesigned (classic helmet, 1x1 plate with grip, classic door, hinged plates/accessories, many Technic parts... ) or material change (soft weapons). I remember my crusader's oars...

Welcome back. I'm glad you're still working on Glomshire; it seems no-one else writes Castle stories anymore so it's nice to see something new being produced.

This is disappointing; previously I'd always admired Lego's staunch standards of quality - after all these years, the durability that the 80s parts still have is incredible. I really hope this current issue is sorted out promptly.

I believe the brand name 'Castle' was originally used for the line of sets released from 1984 to 1998. Then came the short-lived Ninja line which ended in 1999, and then the even briefer Knights' Kingdom 1 in 2000. The Lego equivalent of the Dark Ages then began, until Knights' Kingdom 2 in 2004 and...

The best bits of this model are the plants and the structure of the castle, very impressive. I would reiterate Voran's point about the flags (I think they look a bit silly placed the way they are), and also it would make more sense for the bridge to go directly to the gate as I can't see any way for...

Nice work, it looks suitably precarious and the expression fits in well.

Nice figs in themselves, but as a set I don't think there's anything you couldn't get elsewhere.

Royal Knights, just for the nostalgia.

Thanks for your input guys. Would you say the red on http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=3814096 looks the same as the torsos you have? (apologies for the rather large image)

Well, it was written April 5th. It's also on other blogs as well... I wouldn't mind if this was just a hoax, but this is looking rather legit. >_> Oh. Well in that case I am a bit perplexed...what's the point of making exactly the same game just with Lego figs? :raiseone: I can't see this selling w...
