Oh man, my dreams are coming true. I hate all the jelly bean knights, and bought all the KK2 sets just because of the included Shadow Knights. I stockpiled 8879/8800 just for Vladek and this awesome army and now a opportunity to amass a huge faction. Some day the Shadow Knights just might overtake m...

I don't think this set is half bad. If only half good. I'd take it if I found one for cheap. This is one set I never remember seeing for sale at the stores, and those years were my prime.

I would very much like to own this set. The one thing I regret in my Lego, well career I guess you could say, is that I didn't really have an interest in the forestmen type sets until after they were not availalbe on the retail market. Excellent set. Anyone have any extras just lying around, let me ...

I hear you bud. I've been through this before, and actually go through this quite often. What you may need to do is just throw your Lego in bins, and just hide them away for a while until you clear your head. It sounds like you got a lot going on in your life right now, and you don't want your Lego'...

Very nice. It's like a large vignette, with all of the action you've included. The People are excellent. I especially love the guy with the patch-jacket, the one you use for your avatar as well I see. Likely has some character sinificance to you I'd bet. Awesome choice. The color variation is well d...

This set is AWESOME!!! Why can't they build 'em like this anymore? I love it, 6 guys with great weapons, great helmets, great colors. And the cart even has cool off-road wheels!:D By far the best minifig pack hands down, what more could you ask for.


11/10
This set deserves an improper fraction!

I think Sir Marcellus has it right, and this is how I've always used them as well. It only makes sense that there would be differing ranks, and color is the way even most modern militaries use to denote rank. Think white berret on the Battalion Commander in the marines, verses black for the grunts. ...

I actually did something like this before, kind of. I used my 6086 as a keep and the 6085 as a outer wall. The biggest problem I've run into with this sort of thing is the raised baseplate on the 6086. It is nearly impossible to continue a wall from a flat baseplate like the 6085 uses, up the slope ...

Actually, I believe that if you were to place a Megablocks shield in the hands of a Lego minifig, that they immediately ignite, kind of like gasoline and a match. :lol:

I've had a little bit of luck when it came to getting minifigs off of Ebay. I have yet to get burned on a deal. But for the most part everyone is leading you in the right direction. What you may want to look out for, if your interested in selling or trading, is minifigs that you might not necessaril...

I love it! But what I would really love is if someone recreated Link after he has recieved his blue colored mail, the Tan colored hat, and when he has the bronze shield. You could use one of the "octagonal?" shields from the KKII line. I know when ever I play my old SNES I always just keep...

He's right. There is some sort of horse mounted catapult in the pic. Let us all just hope his horse still retains the saddle, and that all of that junk can be removed. The strange obsession that TLC has with wierd catapult contraptions has been brought out many times before. At least this is the one...

My favorite faction of all time is Wolfpack. Underdogs, renegades, nice color scheme, they have a lot going for them. And hey, you have to respect any faction that would challenge the Black Knights. That said, I have a huge army of KKI archers I bought off Ebay that I use to supplement which ever ar...
