I use my Legos so much, they don't have an opportunity to get dusty and dirty! :lol: Although, when I dropped a shelf of soda cans on my Star Wars sets, I took them out to the backyard in a garbage bag, filled it with the hose, and then scrubbed them with my hands. Afterward, I poked little holes in...

That's a very cool collection! I could never keep all my sets together like that, the building of MOCs is too tempting! :lol:

Hmm... I'm envious of that "6090 Royal Knight's Castle"....

It really depends on the kingdom and it's purpose... often, they're good-hearted people, but occasionally greedy for wealth and power(these are usually fat), and thus, they attack other kingdoms It's all random, really.

So, would you recommend it to me, for the pieces? The set has some good unique pieces, but if you're looking to get more grey than black and brown, you should look at other sets. However, in all honesty, you would be much better off patronizing the shops at Bricklink than buying a set for parts - y...

So after an hour and a half of finding pieces and a half an hour of actual building Isn't it funny how often that seems to happen? I'll find that after a few hours of digging through buckets, I'll have only added a few inches onto a MOC. :roll: Anyway, I like that car. It reminds of the classic Leg...

FindMyBrick is very good. I found out about them through eBay(you'll want to avoid "RToysRLego" at all costs! :shock: ). They have great prices for small things like accessories, but some of there other stuff is a bit ridiculous. I still haven't made a purchase, but my friend bought a cust...

I do, and i am still trying to rebuild my collection. I will Say Kings Castle looks inferior next to King's Castle Siege I'm actually trying to get my Dragon Masters back together(because I have all the boxes and they feel too empty!), and my Dark Forest Fortress. I recently got the Forestmen's Riv...

Great review! I actually didn't want any of this year's new sets, but I might have to reconsider... Now, Tony, let me ask you something. I'm building a MOC(particularly a village and feudal mansion surrounded in forest and connected by and aqueduct), and need a few more unique pieces. I was consider...

I have about 5-8 Forestmen, which I adore and use frequently. I had all of the Dragon Masters set, save for that "Magic Box Tower" thingy, and two of the Dark Dragons den, so however many DMs that would be, I had a few of the classic Legoland sets, and I've noticed excessive amounts of cha...

Today? I'm not sure if there are any sets, other than the Vikings, which are becoming harder to find. In the past... there were a few smaller $10 Harry potter sets but... that's about all I can think of...

To be honest, I never use dragons. I absolutely hate the new ones in the Fantasy sets, and the old ones are... ok, but I typically have no use for them in my MOCs. I like to build peaceful villages, Mansions, Clock Towers and aqueducts... so I don't ever have any need for Dragons. Occasionally, I'll...

LOL! You're so cruel! And to your own son... well... yeah... I figure if I ever have a son/daughter someday, I'll still have my Lego collection, and then there's the problem of sharing it... brrllblbbphpf! Oh well... :roll: So yes, for many reasons this is a very good set. The minifigs, like all of ...

I actually like having multiples of the crown, for tossing into big heaps of treasure! :lol: Seriously, have you ever tried tossing all your gold and gems into a big pile and have it guarded by a Dragon? It's cool, I like Treasuries.

they always end up sitting in the discounted bin. And that's not a good thing? :lol: I would have loved to come across some of those on discount... wait, weren't they Shop@Home exclusive?
