Alternate Model Review: Armor Shop
Join the Classic Castle alternate model review discussion. Please post your opinions on the model play ability, piece selection, design, etc. Which models stand up to our catapult of critique and which ones crumble in shame!
This week’s set is 6041 Armor Shop.
Armor Shop was released in 1986 and has four alternate models. These four alternates are different Armor Shops with features such as allures, weapon racks, and a horse stall. Each shop is modular and can be connected to a larger castle.

Each one of these alternate models shows a lot of quality, and any of them could have been the main set. Great pieces. My favourite would have to be the one at the bottom left hand corner, with the horse eating next to the display.

I liked this as a set, and the alterante models look nice. I like the bottem left hand one and the top right-hand one. All of these are great. They are good looking and they look like they could be played with nicely.
Thanks,
Thanks,

Hmm, it makes me wonder why lego can't make any good alterative sets anymore, and yes it was from the good ole days... It is beautiful... All of them are interesting, a restraunt, and a outpost, even a armory, and even a stable...
I am leniet to all lego sets especially alternatives... Gooday to all.

I can see a few of these lining the streets of my village, and even though they all seem to be selling weapons. They definitely do not look like they are made from the same set. These alternative models would be some of better alternatives that I have seen.
Thanks for posting them.

You are welcome. They were fun and challenging builds. The two models on the left were particularly difficult to see on the box. My favorite alternate is in the bottom left corner. It looks like it could be a set.g2 wrote:I can see a few of these lining the streets of my village, and even though they all seem to be selling weapons.

I love this set as the set and the parts count is substantial enough to provide some great alternates. Both the bottom pictures are ones I would definately consider building. They both look like small sets to me and would be neat to try and implement in some form or another.
The top two...not as much, but still they provide some good starting points from which to develop other ideas.
I know it's oversaid, but I have to say it here. I long for the days when there were great ideas on the back of boxes to inspire further building, and sets with generic enough parts to provide for the decent alternates. It looks like there might be a marked improvement soon...

I really like all of these. They all look like shops in different configurations. I like the last one the best.
I just love staring at them... The black sword is a eye catcher for sure.

I like the one on the bottom left the best. It looks as if it could easily have been the set itself!
Anyway, I just got this item from ebay about a month and a half ago, and its a really really neat set! And there's the black sword...'nuff said

Re: Alternate Model Review: Armor Shop
These are great! this set is obviously very versitile. plus it has a black sword! all the alts get 8.5 out of 10 or better.
He who thinks you should look at the box that says "Quaraga" if you want to find out his username (about as useful to you as his real name). he only wants you to look so he can laugh about you looking there because he's a total smart...
