I do prefer the later Euro armour knights with movable visors, but for their time these were state of the art knights with rare round shields. I remember that when I was a child in 1984, I thought that the new knights helmets (i.e. without movable visor) was a regression compared with previoups mov...

Yeah, I had missed this old topic!! This is my favorite set, because of nostalgia (it's my first castle set!!) and because of the general design (realism, colors, etc.). Like others, the blue knight is my favorite. I like the very simple and "neutral" emblems. And the two blue cups look f...

... And it's $220 for Canadians... That's too much expensive!
$150 vs. $220, I really feel that Lego think Canadian are stupid clients.

Anyway there's right, I bought it. :evil:

I've never encountered any missing or wrong piece.

I buy train and city sets... maybe there are less errors on such sets since most of the pieces are classic?

I stopped buying and playing Lego around 1990 for two reasons: - my mom was telling me* that I was too old for this - Legoland/System sets were looking more and more simple (including huge gaps in spaceship cockpits, in front walls, etc.) using less and less (standard) bricks Many years later, I dis...

Looks great! I lived in a small street where there were several town houses close to a long 1900's building that ended by... a café corner!! So I ordered the Café Corner + Model Town House (I've not received them yet) and I'll buy the Green Grocer soon. These three sets will make sense for me since ...

Same thing for me! The blue knight is definitively my favourite one!

I've always considered that it was a pity not to have a second floor with a bed under the roof (like for some 80's house sets); there would have place for that! Here exterior and interior don't match (e.g. the upper windows are useless and not accessible; it's supposed to be an inn but there's no pl...

The tower is really too cheap! That, a tower? :evil:

That is a perfect example of these castle built with two ugly big parts...

3/10 because the tower

Indeed, first --as an adult who have always repected the color charters since he's a child-- it seems that the color don't fit with the faction. But, as Jojo said, while regarding the classic sets, black weapons are frequently used for Lions and red pants for BF. But what is "non Classic charte...

It depends on what you expect! If you want a real collection, based on earlier sets, try to find the most complete -- even small -- ones you find on eBay or elsewere. The best is before 1984 (as Jojo said, the 677 Knight's Procession is cheap enough for you), but until 1990 it is still very "cl...

I don't remember my first Lego set... I was born in 1975! I'm sure it was was a Duplo set, then some of these serts with the figs bigger than classic minifigs (I don't know how they are called), then it was many Legoland sets! About castle, it was the famous and so nicely colorful Knight Tournament ...

The contents of the cart are unspecific and generic allowing you to imagine they are whatever you want. Yes, and this was very common about Lego set of this time, and it offers a good playability: all the bricks can be used for many Mocs... [...] The wheels look out of place with a castle set. This...

Lego designer were as far as possible into the fantastic* line of castle sets...
Hum... not as far as possible: further!!
