Yes, the colours may not be truly authentic to most real castles, but one must take into consideration at the time, LEGO emphasized colourful structures. Yellows, blues and reds were the norm, with a few highlights in grey or green baseplates. It was only in the early 80s that LEGO began to expand ...

And I think you've hit the nail on the head. It's not worth it to me to have stilty towers and massive amounts of BURPS just to get a monster with every set. I like your separate monster set idea. I'd much rather get something like a Buckbeak or old style dragon with the big set, and have one set w...

i must say that the dragons, which i were skeptical regarding, look better in those pics than they do on the boxes. as we all know sometimes things look better put together and amidst the real set than on the box. i still really wish they would have gone with the technic type dragons from vikings, b...

the skeleton knight is pretty clearly just a regular fig with white hands and a skull head, as has been pointed out. i've always had a lot of fun popping skull heads on normal figs and making that sort of guy, so lego doing it is great. the horses are great (barding, skeleton horse), and the human k...

I agree with you on the bley bashing (as surprising as that may sound). I don't think the colour is bad per se, but it does not mix well with old grey (particularly dark grey/bley). When I say that I have no use for bley, I mean it quite literally. You must remember that many people that you identi...

i like kk2. it's flawed, not as good as the older sets, and not always worth the money, whether for parts, minifgs, or the sets themselves, but as long as you enter with an open mind and don't compare them too strictly with older, better sets, i think you can have fun with them. i understand perfect...

Being that I am the only AFOL who bought KK2 EVER and I did in fact like them, I really have no problem buying ANY lego Castle. i also bought kk2 because i liked several of the sets, and because i'm not as into the classic stuff to the point i want to spend my money on overpriced used sets on brick...

Classic smiley, no plot so you can come up with your own. Populate your own little world with as many or as few as you need... i agree completely, but i would like to say that you can come up with your own plot no matter what lego puts on its boxes. my girlfriend had one of these as a kid (i say ha...

faaantastic figure. he came exclusively in royal knight's castle, as the fig the above poster mentions did not have this fig's most excellent cloth cape. that castle was my favorite castle of all time (playability and fun factor was through the roof) and this king seemed to me to be the perfect king...

my best guess from that picture is that, AT THIS STAGE OF PRODUCTION, the flail is one molded piece rather than attached to a chain, which is very disappointingly but not particularly surprising.

that box picture is a lot less interesting to me. the use of the old barding is really weird, although, as an aside, i love that particular barding. i was rather fond of the new skeleton heads so i actually hope they make a reappearance. i'm very conflicted on that dragon, because i was fond of the ...

I should hope so! This thread would really give LEGO an idea about what we want from them. i always wonder just how much it might benefit lego to test market on a subgroup of the lego buying population like us. i mean, how much money can lego really make off of adults who buy them specifically for ...

has anyone been able to determine whether or not keychains can be unglued? soaking in some sort of solution might do it, but has anyone actually tried it?

i don't like this design as much as i did vladek's siege tower, which i liked quite a bit aesthetically (though that's neither here nor there), and i also didn't lke the battering ram attached to it. the idea is okayish but the execution is kinda poor. it's a fun set, assuming you have a castle to a...

...something I can't figure out - the skeleton in the front seems to have normal droid arms, thus holding his weapons gangsta style. But all the background skeletons are holding their weapons straight up. Different arms? Anyone has any thoughts? not being able to figure it out myself, i took a wild...
