Hi!

From Jan Beyer (TLC) the following was posted at the 1000steine.de forum:

Dino Attack will be released only in North America.

Vikings will be released only in Europe.

I like this set. Why? Very simple: It stands inside my village and peasants can drop by and take a look into the future or buy some kind of love potion. Therefore I suppose it as a "civil" set and that's a rarity.

New gray: The gate to the Mines of Moria!
Falcon: Sure? Looks a window to me.

The big, heavy wheels are ok for a catapult ... BUT:

Unnecessary model, juniorized.

1/10 because of old grey.

I like the asymmetric style a lot. Although on a first look it seems a little bit cartoonish like Jojo said before, it has some nice details imo: First of all the interior is quite well designed; the stairs, the prison and the way "behind" the dragon's seems very realistic to me. My favour...

Juniorized. Very poor even for KK.

Well, well ... I found this set in 1990 at Woolworth in London during a trip to England. Quite surprising as this model wasn't listed here in Germany and it was the first hint for "specials" in other countries. I like the model very much, because it is one of the few civilian sets of that ...

Useless. You cannot build something different from those bricks.

Just for the chrome part, I think TLC did'nt feel a need for good design *sigh

The commercial didn't say anything about the actual size of the do-it-yourself castle ...

Cheap parts, a chrome shield and one of the ugliest designs ever. Never appeared in a catalgue(?) and that's good for.

Well ... I dislike it. The part selestion is dumb, ever tried to build something different? I prefer quality models rather than extraordinary chrome thingies.

Knight: Oh my God! They killed Technic!
From the off: You ba****ds!

Facing his destiny, our young hero suddenly recovers the important difference between swords of stones and swords of bricks ...

This set is just too long for any castle set. Maybe therefore they made those open wing constructions in order to give space to this cart? ;-) You also cannot proper drive through the gates of 6080 (the hinges of the drawbridge prevent it). Something that should not be overseen: Black castle walls! ...

None.

Hm ... and what about the different colour schemes? I imagine different families/clans within the same faction or maybe different branches of service. And the unsolved problem of the hellebard knights from the early legoland sets? I'd say there aren't too many factions: Falcons, Lions, Dragons, Frig...
