Help me answer my nephew's question
Hi all,
My 7 yr old nephew sent me this message, with a further explanation from my sister-in-law.
Uncle Alan, Why does Gilbert the Bad have his eye patched out? Jonathan (a patch on his eye)
We found Gilbert the Bad in a Lego book from the library, titled, Castle Under Attack, by Nicola Baxter. From the Knights Kingdom Lego Kit series. He's one of the bad guys. Jonathan thought the Lego expert, you, might know why Lego added this feature to this character. Thanks for any help you can give. Lois
So, can anyone help me answer my nephew?
Thanks,
Alan

I don't think lego ever officially revealed how Gilbert the Bad lost his eye. I wish he hadn't, his head is in tub with all my superfluous Harry Potter and Ron heads. All told I think I have about 150 of those Gilbert the Bad heads sitting around.
After a long absence, I have returned. I can't wait to start building again.

Hello!
(Like Amazons burnt off one of their breasts for better adjusting their bows.... Or Yakuza members having fingers chopped off.... Children! Don't try that at home!)

So you should create a faction which uses this eye patch as part of their uniform :-)wlister wrote:All told I think I have about 150 of those Gilbert the Bad heads sitting around.

Perhaps it happened like this:
King Leo's knights were enforcing a royal tax, and came into Gilberts village when he was a teen. His parents had no money to pay the tax and when they were hauled off to the dungeons, Gilbert fought back. As a punishment for this rebellion against the King he was sentanced to death. However, because the King was feeling "lenient" he only lost his eye.
Gilbert wanderd the kingdom until he Joined up with the bulls, for only one thing...(you guessed it) REVENGE. :evil:
This would explain the sour look on his face.
