Re: Dear Lego: Please remain involved with Lego fan conventi

Those of us in America are very knowledgeable in the fact that we have good prices. But that is based on taxes, VAT, and services some countries pay out right out of their salaries/prices that here in the US we do not, (ie health care), etc. That of course is a whole different discussion entirely a...

Re: Dear Lego: Please remain involved with Lego fan conventi

I don't want to come across in a whiny way but Lego in the U.S. is very cheap even at the regular price. As a Canadian I have to pay extremely inflated Lego prices and it makes me laugh when Americans complain about Lego pricing being high for them and wanting discounts when they have the absolute l...

Re: Weekly Set Review: King's Castle

I liked that you got lots of soldiers, archers an 4 mounted knights with this set. :D One mounted knight with the large castles seems to be the standard now. :cry:

Re: Rumorville.... The return of the Castle theme?

That would be most excellent. I'm really hoping for a revival of old factions. I mean really, what are Kingdoms Lion and Dragons but a redo of Crusaders (lions) and Black Knights (dragons) with a different color scheme? The next wave may be Black Falcons and Forestmen! That's exactly what I'm hopin...

Re: Rumorville.... The return of the Castle theme?

There are rumblings on the Eurobricks forum that the rumored 2013 castle sets will be new Kingdoms sets. Kingdoms continues!!! :)

Re: CC Set Review: 6011 Black Knight's Treasure

I was 5 years old when this set was released but it was one that never made it into my collection until a few years ago. I picked up 2 of these sets on ebay. The grey treasure chest makes it unique. There were lots of these little cart sets in the 80s. Other similar sets include 6023 Maidens Cart, 6...

Re: Rumorville.... The return of the Castle theme?

if these rumours turn out to be true The set name 70403 Dragon Mountain could mean that we finally see a castle for the Dragon faction from the Kingdoms line. I always picture the Dragons in a mountain top hideout instead of a formal castle. If these turn out to be Kingdoms sets then that's probabl...

Re: Rumorville.... The return of the Castle theme?

So far any Lego reps(sources) haven't denied the rumor and have actually supported it with additional bits of info. I think there could still be some truth to this. We should know in a few more months hopefully.

Re: Rumorville.... The return of the Castle theme?

So I've been in touch with a reliable source. The sets 'apparently' may be: 70400 Forest Ambush 70401 Gold Getaway 70402 The Gatehouse Raid 70403 Dragon Mountain 70404 Kings Castle Interesting.............. Definitely sounds like those could be real set names. The one that I have a hard time pictur...

Re: Rumorville.... The return of the Castle theme?

In my eyes the Hobbit sets are rather weak, so I would really appreciate new generic Castle sets... I agree I really don't think any of them are that great except the 79003 An Unexpected Gathering and maybe 79004 Barrel Escape isn't to bad either. Not really anything Castle like in these Hobbit set...

Re: CC Set Review: 6082 Fire Breathing Fortress

I never owned this set when I was younger but I finally own it now as a adult. I purchased it off of ebay a few years ago. The overall design is unique but nothing that memorable or special compared to other large castle sets from the 90s. The large black dragon head play feature is awkward and does...

This is only good news if it doesn't end up replacing Kingdoms and future Castle sets. :(

I like the grilled helm but the pointed visor would be a close 2nd.

Re: Pitchforks for Minifigures

Looks like TLG definitely listens to the requests and wishes of those on these forums. It's great to see return of the pitch fork in the new Mill Village Raid set! :D
