BrickWorld 2008 Recap
Ben E. 29 VI 08
BrickWorld 2008 was held last weekend in Chicago. It was a blast!
I really enjoyed meeting and hanging out with fellow castle fans like
Dale (DaleDVM), Dan (Sibley) Thomas (Prince Imdol), Bill, David (Crazylegoman), Saaz, etc.
Highlights include a
trans-clear version of the Yellow Castle,
Thomas' Castle,
Dale's Skeleton Tower and Armies,
CCC Wall sections and farms,
Bill's Cathedral,
my redoubt,
Dan's houses,
LOTR bookends,
David's houses and landscaping.
Thank you to Steve Witt for
providing an
invading force who enjoy
fun and games on their time off.
It was also nice to check out the new
Castle Giant Chess Set.
Check out the various Brickshelf and Flickr galleries and leave you comments in this
thread.

Castle Sets Year in Review: 2006
Ben E. 2 VI 08
This week I would like to take a break from the usual weekly set review and look at an entire years’ worth of sets.
If this proves popular, I will follow this article with other years in review in the future.
2006 was an important Castle year because it introduced large-scale new castle exclusives, giant siege weapons,
and the continuation of chess sets, the high point of Knight’s Kingdom II, and the end of Vikings and KK2.
