I am hoping I can pick one up with the GWP at the LEGO store today. I can't get enough of those forestmen sets. It is so unfortunate that they re-released the GWP on the 1st and held back the castle until the 3rd. Kind of a Megablocks move by TLG. Tons of those GWP sets will end up in the hands of f...

I will get at least 3 and if I can get a free forestman hideout with each possibly up to 6. I don't really need all of the bricks but I do need a large number of minis and accessories to populate my large MOCs. That especially goes for the civilians. I hope they become available at some point on B&a...

I purchased the last 3 modulars which are the only sets I collect outside of castle. That and a huge BAM/Pick a brick order and I got 4 of the GWP hideouts. I have heard that they will be available again in August so you can get them with the castle as well. So I will be getting several more if that...

My first question would be, when exactly did we start judging official sets vs AFOL MOCs? I'm a MOC expert and do not want official LEGO sets to wander fully into that territory. That said this set is more of MOC quality than any other except the medieval blacksmith which is literally a MOC. My take...

I am late to the game. I am going to add my two cents. The people in this thread know their castle sets and have picked out many of the worst sets. I agree with pretty much all of the arguments. I am one of the people that really dislike the yellow castle. However, it was groundbreaking and contains...

We will see what the Vikings bring next year. I hope it is useful. However, creator being the home for castle and other historic themes is barely better than no castle at all IMHO. Even a fully fleshed out castle theme once a decade would be better than a single creator castle offering every 3-5 yea...

After seeing the 3 in 1 castle and the blacksmith set, I can say this. It is nice to get the Black Falcons and some castle appropriate molds/sets this year. However, this falls incredibly short of getting a full castle theme. There just are not enough "castle" parts to satisfy an eight yea...

The set is better built/designed than I thought it would be. For me it is mostly about the parts, so... I welcome all of the castley stuff. BFs, swords, shields, armor, helmets, etc. Most of the parts I have in my collection have come from past castle sets. So... some interesting parts included in t...

I look forward to the new LOTR series. A bit less to a theme based on it. The problem I have with licensed themes, is the fleshies. Many of the torsos become unusable among my numerous yellow castle figures. The sets are also more expensive and it is much harder to army build. However, I am certain ...

JBM, I am not talking about parts for MOCing. Grey and tan brick is prevalent. I already have well over a million of those parts. It is the parts that come exclusively with castle sets that I am talking about. Medieval minifigs (soldiers, royalty, and civilians), shields, weapons, armor, flags, etc....

I think I have to split this into two different answers. One answer is where I get my ideas for what to build and how it will look. Like others, books, movies, pictures, real life terrain and castles I have visited all contribute to the look of my MOCs. However, what inspires me to build is a differ...

The problem with hoping for quality sets in ideas and creator is this. Both ideas and creator work with currently produced parts. Therefore we will not be getting new factions, accessories, animals, civilians, weapons, etc. In other words, the parts that make Castle what it is are going to be rare t...

I know we have all been waiting a long time for a proper castle theme at this point. I haven't been on this forum in a looong time because of the lack of new sets. Sadly, this interview hints that castle may not be coming back as a full theme at all. [url]https://www.brickfanatics.com/lego-designer-...

I will just wait and lugbulk those arches. They are not as interesting to me due to the white color. Now if they were in light bley or tan!

I like the look of the new short sword but I do agree that the loss of functionality may not be worth it in the long run. My older chess sets have the old version. As for the elves. I think sting looks pretty good when dual wielding. I also like the new brown/silver spears when put on the elves. I h...
