I think is a good example of how to work civilan style sets into Lego. The castle wall makes it useful for any castle collector while also providing the peaceful task some builders would like.

With all the printed pieces and your style it doesn't quite look like a Lego creation at first. Its very one of a kind and you should be proud of that.

I would doubt that LEGO is done with Human vs Human. LEGO, for now at least, is just taking a break for a while just to see how popular the "Fantasy" line can be. Within a few years LEGO will probably switch back. -Tower Agreed. Also that interview confirms that. Right now kids just see k...

Here's another bricklink question: why on earth would I shop there? I just surfed it for an hour or so and nearly every set or figure I found was overpriced. I can walk into any target or TrU and get the new sets for $x.xx and the Bricklink stores want $x.xx times 30%. What gives? I don't get what'...

I remember seeing the Fright Knights in the catalog when I was about 10 years old. I was pretty dissapointed TLG didn't continue the Dark Forest theme and blamed that on the Fright Knights. So I asked for the Manor, it was reasonably priced, had barding and rocks. Most importantly that precious dark...

Very clever. The tree was especially well done.

Was I was the only one who thought it was weird to see forestmen with the newer more detailed faces?

Obviously I think mine is quite good.

I mostly sell but, I definately remember an order I had from Stic's Bricks. He rounded the shipping because I was paying with cash and was really reasonable with his pricing.

LEGO already makes a fine tool for getting tiles off with no damage: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=4006 Never leaves a mark and I've been using them to get pesky tiles off baseplates since 1978. Recommended for builders of all ages. :idea: Great idea! I have a pile of these lying ar...

The Vikings were a nice line for the time. I have to admit, I agree with Lego in cutting them, given they weren't going to change the focus of the man vs beast concept, there really wasn't anything left in to do.

Yeah I've read alot of critics on Tolkiens work and most seem to agree that for what he envisons "elves" was probably not the best word. They're practically angelic. Nothing wrong with that of course, just the term causes some confusion. Like I said earlier, using the LOTR analogy, I'd pre...

From what I've heard there will be at least one new big castle at the 100 price point range. I'm curious to see if they continue making baseplate-less castles.
