Maybe I am in the minority but I don't understand why having more detailed and appropriately scaled weapons is a bad thing. Most people have a plethora of the existing weapons anyway so these provide something fresh. I hope these sets do well at retail, specifically the Mill Village Raid set. If it ...

Hope someday will finaly make a church or something like that, since religion was really powerful during medieval ages or a port since boats were also used much for trade those days. I highly doubt we will ever see a church released by LEGO. Considering how PC most toys have to be these days I am s...

I am pretty excited about the new sets. They could have just hashed out some new buildings and slapped a 2011 release date on them. Instead they went the extra mile and are giving us a plethora of new pieces in these sets. 7189 - Obviously the centerpiece of this year's releases I'm excited that the...

I find it ironic that this thread has been resurrected while there is a nice discussion about the decline of Lego castle ongoing. Certainly there is a correlation between this set and the decline of Lego castle. Therefore, it is only fitting that this set's review would be brought to the forefront. ...

According to Brickipedia this set is a Black Falcon's set: http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/6018_Battle_Dragon Personally, I have always considered this a Black Knight's set because of the dragon head on the stern as well as the design of the minifig torsos. However, I can see how the affiliation of this ...

Surprisingly I felt the first decline already in 1990, not knowing then what was to come. I concur with this although I was too young at the time to know any better. I was just getting into Lego in 1990. For me the sets from 1990 - 1992 were great. Even today sets like Sea Serpent, Black Knight's C...

This set was produced to get the new figures into people's hands cheaply as well as to give kids a nice little set that they can buy with their own money. In my opinion this set is a figure pack. The actual battle packs were about $15 for 5 figures. This set is $10 for 3 figures and a horse as well ...

I suppose the subject of "decline" is a matter of personal opinion and tastes. I am more interested in sets that try to capture a more realistic feel than a "playset" or extreme "fantasy" feel. The more outlandish the sets became, the more turned off I was by them. Yes ...

It has been a long time since I have posted but I feel compelled to voice my opinion on this topic. For me particularly the decline of castle, and LEGO as a whole was the 1997 lineup. I was always a castle/space/pirates guy. I pretty much loved all of these lines until 1997 rolled around. I will nev...

My original design had entry ways up to the tower tops as seen here: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1369773 When I increased the size of the towers in front and made some alterations to the door and drawbridge system it ruined the existing staircase design I had in place so I reluct...

Back at the end of 2005 I constructed the Black Falcon's Keep which was a reinterpretation of the famous Black Falcon's Fortress. The original thread can be found here: http://www.classic-castle.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5632 In 2007 I decided to increase the size of the fortress while I was...

I haven't been posting lately as I haven't been building (although I have come up with an idea for my next larger scale MOC and I plan to get going in the next few weeks), but I have been lurking in the forums looking at other people's MOC's. Well, I finally felt the need to comment on this one. If ...

I never did get this set when I was younger, but I did want it. To this day I still do not own it. I think the look of the tower is very fitting for the Wolfpack. It looks like a lonely abandoned structure that the Wolfpack found and inhabited. I like the fact that the bottom level is flooded (but o...

There isn't much to this set but it was still a decent buy. For a few bucks you get a yellow flag, a spear, a sword, a shield, and a Lion Knight as well as a treasure chest and some wheels. I like that the set comes with plenty of weapons so that you may pick and choose how you wish to arm your forc...

I really liked this MOC. I think the idea of "battle aftermath" is an interesting concept to explore. It would be interesting to see a larger scale MOC based on the concept, with a castle or keep having some damage on it while dead soldiers await their burial.

Good job.
