Yellow castle? Or new giant crown knight castle?

Post by Lawkeeper »

The new 2007 Castle line is pretty cool. Who wouldn´t want to have the silver helmets? And unlike KK2, the new castle isn't open at the back :) !
I think the new 'crown knights' are the best sets since KK1. One thing I don't like about the new sets: the skeletons. I like the normal skeleton body better. But that might change when I get my hands on one.

I would just like light or dark grey. I really don't like these chrome silver (?) helmets.

I once thought the new colored helmets were sort of rare but now that I see these I think a ton of people are going to have some so I think they are neat but not like I used to think of them. :?

all right. I get to be a tie breaker.. for the moment anyway..

and even though the yellow castle used to be my favorite castle of all time, I voted for the new one. :oops:
I really really like the new one.. and besides. I had the yellow castle. Its good for building... well.. yellow castles.
I prefer gray (even new gray) castles.. hmm how long do we have to have this gray until it just becomes gray and not the new gray?

This is funny, I thought the same thing initially, but I soon changed my mind. I think that metal (what helmets are really made of :roll: ) is probably better represented by a metallic colour rather than colours that are used to represent stone

Never thought of them like stone. I'm just a classics fan I guess. I could use some of those helmets for a limited amount of things but I could use the grey helmets for so much more uses than the new helmets.

You have a point, although I never really thought of dark grey as stone. To me, light grey always equalled stone while dark equalled steal.

Thats what I was thinking, I could use some drk. grey helmets more than the new helmets (I guess you could say I'm one of the few people who only has one drk. grey helmet and visor I got from Dungeon Hunters...). I'm more into the Legoish look that the realistic look.

The thing about Yellow castle is, when it was released, it was not a unbelievable price. All large scail castles today, are outrageous in pricing.
Lego was at its best in the time between 1970's, and the 21 century.
They give you no where near as many minifigs as the yellow castle. At the time when Yeller came out, it was great. (I obviously don't remember).

New Crown's Knight Castle. The minifigs, color scheme, and the castle design are much better, IMHO.
