Re: Nexo Knights in 2016 - Official pics!

As I already said, Lego used to give some soldiers/knights their own coat of arms, from the yellow castle on to the crusaders/knights sets (with crossed axes as a generic coat of arms in some sets). Someone in the sources for new sets put up to evidence of some hints/analogy in the character's names...

Re: Nexo Knights in 2016 - Official pics!

The idea of more than two factions, and, knights wearing their own coat of arms while fighting for the king is surprisingly more realistic than anything that has been released for many decades in the "classic castle" themes. I wouldn't say Forestmen, but Wolfpacks, since the Wolf is the em...

Re: [WIP] Archenval, medieval town

Hey! What's new? Did you set this setup aside for a while, to build in other verse times, or is it still in progress, to, why not, expand to two modules more? I've been in Fana'briques those past two years, and have seen large and huge setups, but what impresses me the most in this one, is that desp...

Re: Medieval Crane

Hey! I have seen it in person, and I didn't mention that light clips were getting the whole circle assembled. :shock:

Very well done, Steph. ;)

Re: Bonjour from France

Hi Dan, maybe quite late, but welcome here at CCC.
We probably meet once at Rosheim (Fana'briques), I went there in '12 and '13, or even on the Brickpirate's BB (close ID). :wave:

Re: Horses with the new castle sets

Maybe it can be detatched from somewhere it isn't very usefull in the set? As it was in the 6009, or the 6016. ;)

Re: LEGO the movie castle set

I have now seen the film, and question myself about: Why no classic factions? Is the Medieval theme (and the weird vehicle we see in this set) this represented in the movie to owe getting a Set? Black Falcons could have seen quite a return, even with those new shields seen in the Joust. Apart from t...

Re: Castle 2013... meh?

For myself, I find the heraldry not too juniorized (well, it's kid's toys after all), for the castle's coulourish touches, you just can get rid of them, as I already did with my Kingdoms' one. The castle has panels, but it's for the sake of hugeness, as it has more towers, with more levels, and its ...

Re: CC Set Review: 7009 The Final Joust

It is one of the best Castle sets, since the skeleton is a real minifig, and fully armored, with a helm I like much, although its horse is only skelly. Too much gold spiky parts I'm not fond of, but anyway, many brown and bley arches that comes in handy when mixed with other sets. :raiseone: This on...

Re: Series 6 is in stores with some castle worthy figures.

Got my highlander and the mechanics (my job), but let alone two minotaurs in the box (not fantasy fan, although I got an elf from previous series).
My mechanics is still in the bag, my oldest mib is my gladiator, but I still wonder if I will ever open it or trade it away for anything else.

Re: New Kingdoms sets at TRU!!

If we have a new and different advent calendar with the new blacksmith torso, we can fear that the blacksmith attack will be retired soon. But for the other sets, we can anticipate one more year of availability. On the other hand, none of the new sets are assumed as impulses, so we can expect to see...

Re: Which Golden Age Castle Is the Best?

I voted for the Black Monarch's because it's the one I have the less to complain about, mainly the black walls. Brown horses, bardings, visored helm, platebuilt portcullis, plate based door (snot), round towers... What not to love about it? Build it on plates and in gray, a little touch of tudor, so...

Re: Reached my castle goal!!

I'm trying to reach almost the same goal, while I will probably pass the little sets, and some others that contains mainly a fig that was in a larger set, as the king or majisto, for example. Also, the stunning current sets will grab my whole budjet for some time, so classics will wait a little. I'm...
