The newest picture for the Picture Captioning has been uploaded, this poor Black Falcon just got pulled over by a CHIP. Was he speeding? Did he forget to signal? Will his rights be violated? You decide!


More New Sets?
Anthony 26 V 04

Several new threads have been started in our forum discussing some unconfirmed new Castle sets, as well as pictures from the current Knight's Kingdom 2 line.

This thread discusses a previously unseen KK2 set(s). The image linked to in the thread shows a siege tower and a fortified gate, a welcome new set if it turns out to be real.

Duplo Castle? This thread discusses a new, rather ominously familiar looking series of sets claiming to be a new Duplo line. DuplaBloks? Duplamobil? ...DuplaBlokobil?

Finally, Mark makes his C-C debut by posting High Resolution Pictures of the current KK2 figures and the two sets he was able to get his dirty little mits on. Among his collection of pics are details of the minifig faces and accessories, definately something you need to check out.

Smell that? Mmmmmm... That's fresh Castle, friend. Do not use Castle if the freshness seal is broken. Please Castle responsibly. Your mileage will vary.

Inn - Every village needs a place for its visitors, which leads to my latest creation, and largest 'shop' so far, the Inn. The Inn features an upper level with two guest rooms, and a lower level for eating and entertainment. A variety of guests stay at the Inn, including classic-castle's very own Henry.
